I was reading about this yesterday and wondered what everyone thought about this situation--is he a jerk? Is she immmature? Are they both at fault?

For those who didn't hear about it, basically this interviewer at a press junket wrote about how mean Jesse Eisenberg was. The link to the tumblr post she wrote up is here:

http://univisionnews.tumblr.com/post/50670415326/behind-the-scenes-of-our-jesse-eisenberg-interview

and the video (note: she edited the clip) is here (don't know how to embed, sorry!)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6AU2TaP4UGQ

Reactions? Thoughts? I'll add my own in a comment.

Considering how the video was chopped up to make Jesse look like a jerk, I'm going to side with Jesse until I see the unedited version.

I hate when people try to manipulate me into feeling sorry for them. And this woman is going to town trying to do this.

to me it looked as though eisenberg was the one trying to be playful with her while she took his jokes the wrong way, though a lot of people interpreted it differently.

That interviewer is immature and Eisenberg was being a bit of a jerk. Combo of poor interview skills/personality and a star being tired of the press junket gig.

I didn't watch the video because the idea of doing so makes me cringe. But after reading the Tumblr thing, that interviewer seems immature and just not very good at her job.

Honestly, she went in there expecting him to do a random thing for her random web series but wouldn't explain anything about it then proceeded to take everything too personally and then tell him she was going to cry. And then called the interview "self-esteem butchering" and made an edited video to support her side of the story.

If she her emotional state and self esteem are so fragile she needs to find a different field to work in.

He's a jerk. She's a whiny little sissy. Fail all around.

Haha I had no clue about this, but I loved Jesse's answers.

I am a jerk, tho

She's whiny, he's a bit of a jerk, when their powers combine, the power of fail!

Oh, Lord, save me. I think Jesse comes off as playful, funny, and teasing (somewhat meanishly in a few comments but not malicious I don't think--more it reminded me of schoolyard pigtail pulling of the girl you liked). I think Romina was incredibly unprofessional in her clothing choices, interview questions, and behaviour on the set.

Really a sleeveless, tanktopish number w/short shorts to interview him? What's up w/her demeanor? What's wrong w/sleeves (not even full sleeves) and pants, long shorts (to the knee) or a long skirt (knee length or longer)? Do the male interviewers show up shirtless or in a wifebeater and in shorts? I'd be willing to bet major cash no.

Why in Pete's name did she think that in 5 minutes she could get him to loosen up and have fun? Why did she think he wanted that or was tense? Calling his thumb fat? Saying she's gonna cry about this interview? If she thinks that's mean I need to introduce to my bullying coworkers (I quit my job b/c of the relentless shit directed at me, but I never cried b/c of it. Ended up hospitalized due to a heart episode 'caused by the stress dealing with it, but I never cried. Boy, and I think my skin is thin.). Seriously, wtf? I think she comes across as an immature, whiny, unprofessional asshole. I don't understand the people defending her unless it's totally 'cause she hot and people like that.

Seriously, why didn't she just show up dressed professionally, ask appropriate questions about the role and movie, thank him, and walk away? d
During the whole thing, I kept thinking wtf am I watching here? She comes off much worse than him. Seriously, woman, it's 5 minutes, not 10, 15, 20, 30 or even an hour.

And I'm not fangirling him either. I've seen him in the Social Network and I think that's it. I think that's the 2nd interview I've ever seen with him. I'm mostly indifferent to him.

Also, it's approximately 3 minute edited video that's designed to make him look like a jerk. Why not release the unedited 5 minute video? Would it cause the server to collapse or something? Or would it show that's not a jerk/less of a jerk in it? Oh, the horror, the horror.

Looks at what I've typed. I've no idea that I was this emotionally invested into until now. i think i'm sick of the subject. Oh, well. :) Sorry.

to be honest, I'm pretty sure I agree with every thing you said. adding on, I particularly disliked how when he brought up Carrot Top, she cut him off saying "horrible" before he was able to explain that he meant she counted on props. in the article she wrote, she chose to leave out that he elaborated, "no, it's a good thing." I'm no fangirl either; just like you I've only seen him in TSN.

Exactly! About the Carrot Top thing. Can people not hear that? What he said?

Seriously now, I'm getting the vibe she expected to show up looking hot and to have him fawn all over her b/c she's hot and he's a nerd(?) or something (I've seen his fans call him a nerd in gifsets on tumblr, iirc). She had some kind of expectations that he didn't meet and when he didn't, she got offended and decided to drag him through the mud. That "article" is a joke. It's tabloid journalism at its worst.

In the vid, she comes across so much worse than him it's unbelievable that anyone is attacking him and defending her actions.

lol Jesse and his shitty magician movie.

Jesse stan here!

That interview was a joke! Jesse´s the sweetest person on Earth. Honestly, all the reporters and fellow actors always say he´s very kind, humble, intelligent and caring. Also fans who´ve met him when going to his plays say the same.

Sometimes he has a strange sense of humor, but he wouldn´t insult anybody! Please don´t think Jesse is a jerk, he´s not like Zuckerberg. =(

He's a bit of a jerk... but I would probably get like this too if faced with someone so bad at their job and yet expecting me to just take it in stride. The moment she told him she was going to cry, I felt like HE should have been the one walking away from that joke of an interview.
