Your support makes all the difference.Louis Theroux was apparently “kicked out” of an interviewee’s house while filming in Kentucky for a new documentary.
The interviewee, a live streamer known as Beardson Beardly, tweeted to his followers on Thursday night (13 May): “Just kicked Louis Theroux out of my house.”
Theroux then shared a screenshot of the tweet, writing: “Shoot’s going great!”
Beardson Beardly also started a live stream, during which he took a phone call from Theroux and demanded that the documentarian apologise for his actions.
In a clip shared online, Theroux can be heard saying: “Apologise for what?”
To which the streamer replies: “For trying to accuse me of being a Nazi and doing Nazi salutes in my own home.”
Theroux responds: “Well, if I’d done that I’d think about apologising but I didn’t accuse you.”
The filmmaker eventually does say “I’m sorry for offending you”, to which Beardson Beardly says: “Yeah, go f*** yourself.”
He later told his viewers that Theroux “wasted money” and is “going to look like a total jacka**” if he tries to broadcast their exchange.
According to LadBible, Beardly Beardson was chosen by Theroux for the interview because of his association with Nick Fuentes, an American far-right and white nationalist political commentator and podcaster.
Theroux is yet to announce what documentary he is shooting in Kentucky.
