In a chat on June 25 with Summer house‘S Paige DeSorbo on Amazon Live, the host of “Taste of Taylor” said that Eric Stonestreet – who played the affable and cheerful Cam Tucker on the ABC series for eleven seasons – was “mean” to her in an interview.
Strecker shared that Stonestreet, 52, was on her show to promote a sponsorship with Pepto-Bismol, which she apparently missed in her notes. After Strecker failed to mention the stomach-upset medication, Stonestreet pressed the issue.
“So, we’re talking, we’re talking. I’m just being my lovely self. And he says, ‘So, when are we going to talk about Pepto-Bismol?'” she recalls, adding that she tried to cope with the unexpected question. “I said, ‘I have hemorrhoids. I’m the queen of diarrhea. I love Pepto-Bismol! We can talk about anything you want.'”
This went too far for Stonestreet and he accused Strecker of not having properly understood the terms of the interview.
“He said to me – and I quote – ‘Someone didn’t do their homework,'” she revealed. “I said, ‘I’m sorry. Am I being paid by Pepto-Bismol? The answer is no. So that’s your job to figure out, not mine.'”
Strecker did not reveal when the interview took place, and there does not appear to be any recording of the incident online. We weekly has asked Stonestreet for comment.
Stonestreet has previously spoken about the discrepancy between his real personality and his most famous role. During a conversation with sports reporter Dan Patrick In 2017, Stonestreet said that fans would often be disappointed if they met him in the real world.
“I didn’t realize how much I was competing with the character I play on TV,” he said. “When I meet people on the street, I always say, ‘Are you not feeling so good?'”
Strecker is not the only presenter who broadcasts guests’ bad experiences. The view Co-host Megan McCain went to Jennifer Lopez about her visits to the talk show and called the singer and actress “deeply unpleasant” last month.
“I was a host on The View, she was not nice. You don’t always have to be so nice, but it was surprising that people like Kim Kardashian couldn’t be more beautiful,” she said. “If you come into a show for a 10-minute segment… just fake it until you make it for 10 damn minutes.”
