I thought her behavior was really cute when she was embarrassed during that. It revealed a totally different side of her personality.
A statement like this would suggest that you share similar personality & social shortcomings like Dr. Oz. What he did was both UN-Professional and UN-Ethical from a Medical Professional standpoint. Furthermore, it was completely out of line from a personal and social standpoint. Maria was there to interview Dr. Oz regarding his ringing the Bell and the medical topic at hand. Maria WAS NOT there to be touched & molested. - as anything beyond a professional & polite handshake in this setting IS inappropriate. Maria WAS NOT there for a medical evaluation or diagnosis from a Doctor with whom she DOES NOT have a medical (Dr./Patient) relationship. Lastly, Maria WAS NOT there to be embarrassed.
Bottomline: Dr. Oz violated common social and medical boundaries, ethics and protocols. He is so used to being "Oprah's Doctor" and having star-struck housewives hang on his every word that he has no concept of social etiquette or social boundaries (not that he ever did). He BULLIED and pressured Maria into a very uncomfortable situation. Sadly, Maria didn't hold her ground and submitted to the pressure in a foolish attempt to save a live interview that went out of control. She should've slapped him or smashed his balls - back to you Bill.............
Okay, first off, Maria wasnt bullied....she didnt have a gun to her head and yes, Dr.Oz did something inappropriate, but she certainly wasnt bullied. And also, she wasnt molested either. It went below the line of molesting. Frankly, she took it all in stride and moved on. She wasnt gonna play the diva card and make a scene by yelling at him or slapping him; she's a professional and being so, she wouldnt do something like that to jeperdize her career.
Obviously, it could've been done differently, but it is what it is and there's no going back after it's been edited and broadcast live.
