We must be soulmate today because I was thinking the same thing.  I hate when reporters or fans ask actors about their personal life, its disrespectful.  They don’t owe us their personal information, they owe us a great performance which every actor on TVD gives us every week.

Actually I even found harder words in my comment, but edited them again because I didn´t want to offense someone respectively a show, especially since I´m not from America and only know KTLA from those interviews.

Yes, they were talking about Nina.

That interviewer needs to take a class on manners.  He could not have been more disrespectful.   Nina and Joseph were very professional and a class act. 

Way to go Nina, you had Joseph’s back on that personal question.  “We are here to talk about the show” 

Show some respect KTLA, Joseph and Nina were up early to live stream this interview from Atlanta.

Agreed! The interviewer caught Joseph off-guard.  It was a rude question.  Nina jumped in like a champ and put the interview in the right direction.  It’s understandable that people are interested in their private lives, but usually interviewers tread lightly and show some delicacy.  They don’t come out with the relationship question outright within 3 seconds of an interview.  And people who interview the TVD cast usually want to know spoilers. That’s what why I was excited to see this interview, I wanted some hints about the upcoming episode. And then it left me so confused that they were suggesting Nina wasn’t nice in this interview.  She was polite and a good sport.  So was Joseph. 

Thank you for posting!

I hope that when Nina watches this back and hears that he said “She’s nice when she’s here”, she understands that the presenter is just a tool and that she was perfectly nice and professional :)

YEAH I know! I would have just liked to seen what he would have said. And who is this girl that he was asking about? Does anyone know? Hate to speculate, but it seems kinda juicy!

I thought she was nice too.  She looked a little tired,but hell she is working 14 hour days, who wouldn’t be tired.  I think the reporter was upset that Nina said that they were there to talk about the show and not Jo Mo personal life.  And I say, good for Nina!! It is called being a good friend.

I LOVE Joseph Morgan. It really was awkward, he did not like the question about his ‘love life’.

What a rude interview!  I should complain on their website.  Did they think they are TMZ?!

Who suggested Nina was not nice…. the interviewer? The one that actually needs the lessons in manners? … good grief!

also, I think Nina is more used to dealing with stuff like this, what being asked about her and Ian’s relationship all the time….its good that she stepped up. Joseph looked like he was about to walk out for a second before she stepped in….

Wow… what a jerk! I love Nina and Joseph!

Someone definitely got up on the wrong side of the bed but it wasn’t Nina, nor JoMo.

Well, that was awkward. Sam Rubin was really rude asking that question to Joseph Morgan right off the bat. Rubin was unprofessional there that way he just said that. I had the same fact as Joseph, like “Wow. WTH.”. And Rubin said about Nina after the interview, how stupid. He obviously is being clueless. Nina and Joe were true professionals.

what an ass! I almost expected Joseph to walk out, it’s what I would have done. And the comments at the end were just disrespectful and very unprofessional. they should be thankful that Nina and Joseph even agreed to the interview. The reason for the interview was to talk about the show. Not Joseph’s love life or Nina’s favorite Halloween candy. I wish that when they do interviews they could actually get an interviewer that watches the show and can ask good questions.

BTW when they showed the clip of Emily VanCamp she looked like she was blushing/uncomfortable too. Seriously, I think they very graciously steered the topic back to the show, and handled it well (but firmly). I’m annoyed that the guy then implied Nina wasn’t being nice.

I have no audio on my laptop – can anyone tell me exactly what was said between the interviewer, Nina, and Joseph in this part everyone is upset about?

i thought she was very nice. The interviewer was just plain rude. He had no right to ask about Joseph’s love life. That pissed me off

I think that the real problem though was the awkward way the reporter
asked the question…he was talking to Nina…he addressed Nina and
asked about Joseph’s love life…WTH?? If your gonna troll for scoop on
someones love life…WHY would address and talk to their costar about
it…that beyond oversteps and is extremely weird…and to have that be
your leading question? I’ve watched a lot of interviews and it is
understandable to want the gossip that’s their job but most interviewers
warm up to it a little bit asking about the show first because after all that’s why they are there in the first place. I found it extremely rude and weird for the
interviewer to address Nina and the first question be…soo about Josephs
love life?…And from the looks of both their faces I think it shocked
them both and took them aback a little bit…Nina just recovered
faster…plus from past interviews I just get the impression that Joseph
does not like or respect this aspect of the media and it kinda really gets
to him whereas Nina has had to deal with it a lot especially regarding
her and Ian so she’s used to it more…Cudos to Nina love her…she is sweet,
respectful, classy, and professional….everything this interviewer is
not

P.s Love Joseph to…aside from this interview…every other one I’ve
seen of him he’s ADORABLE and sweet and it’s remarkable that he plays Klaus so
convincingly

Sorry this is such a rant…but this interview just really angered me and I had a lot to say about it…it is everything I hate about the media let people have their personal lives even if they’re in the public eye…at the end of the day I wanna hear the actors talk about the show that I love…not their love lives

The interviewer was totally out of line and Nina had Joseph’s back as Joseph is fairly new to all this.  Nina handled it like a true professional.

I think the interviewer is the one who’s tired. That’s thinking on the positive side though… maybe he’s just an ass, and it’s as plain as that. Holy!
