He said, “How long would it be, Charlie? Four? Maybe four. I saw this woman on television. I said, “Man, I don’t want to mess with her. She’s tough. She’s tough. this woman on television. I said, “Man, I don’t want to mess with her. She’s tough. She’s tough.Now, I’m not allowed to say it — you know that. I’m not allowed to say it anymore, but she’s also beautiful.” He further added that under the MeToo generation, we’re not allowed to say it, “So all of you young brilliant guys, never, ever call a woman beautiful, please. You’re not allowed to do it. And I’ve kept doing it and I’ve never been told by that woman never to do it."
