Pippa Middleton gave her first TV interview to Matt Lauer and Today, and they finally aired the damn thing today. And OMG. I mean, Pippa is annoying and her “repositioning” PR as some kind of charity ambassador is interesting, but the interview is utterly gross because Matt Lauer is so skeevy and over-the-top. Yes, Pippa and the Original Ass of Lies ™ became a thing after the wedding… in 2011. These days, Pippa is mostly known for being orange, for messing up high-profile jobs and for trading in on her sister’s connections. The way Matt Lauer approaches Pippa, it’s like he’s speaking to the most beautiful woman in the world about how she saved the world with her bum.

Pippa says that she and her family saw Kate and William’s wedding as “just a family wedding…And actually, I didn’t realize, perhaps, the scale of it until afterwards.” Are you joking? I’m throwing the first BS Flag of the interview. As for the McQueen maid-of-honor dress that became so famous, Pippa says: “You know, I think the plan was not really for it to be a significant dress. Really just to sort of blend in with the train.” Second flag.

Pippa also told Today that she has “felt publicly bullied a little bit just by, you know, when I read things that clearly aren’t true or that, whichever way someone looks at it, it’s a negative side… It is quite difficult. Because eventually I’m just paving my way and trying to live a life like any 30-year-old.” Er… did we bully her when she was riding around with some rich douches in France and they were flashing a gun, pretending to shoot at the paparazzi? Is that “bullied”? Or how about when her new media profile allowed her to score a rash of high-paying gigs that she had barely any qualifications for? I’m just saying, it’s a trade-off. You can party with rich guys and get paid gobs of money for barely any work all while accepting that you are now a public figure who will be discussed in the media. Ugh.

Plus, I just think it’s weird that she’s giving an interview about all of this stuff right NOW. It’s 2014 – no one is talking about her butt except her (and Matt Lauer, apparently). Why didn’t she give this interview to promote her sad Celebrate book?
