Chris Hansen rips Robert Pattinsons Primetime as complete fiction, reveals how hes fighting back

Chris Hansen is pushing back against Hollywood's portrayal of his career in the new A24 film, "Primetime," saying the movie fictionalizes the work that made "To Catch a Predator" a television phenomenon."Nothing in that trailer except for the actor saying my name and ‘have a seat’ ever happened in real life.It’s complete fiction," Hansen said during an interview on the "Planet Tyrus" podcast.The A24 feature, released Friday, offers a dramatization inspired by Hansen's hit "To Catch a Predator" investigations, including events surrounding the death of Bill Conradt, a Texas chief felony assistant district attorney who died by suicide as police arrived at his home to execute search and arrest warrants stemming from an online sting.The film stars Robert Pattinson as Hansen, portraying the television host as he pursues greater exposure for the program while its increasingly high-stakes investigations propel him toward greater fame and, ultimately, the Conradt incident.'PRIMETIME' STAR ROBERT PATTINSON SHOCKS FANS WITH CHRIS HANSEN TRANSFORMATION IN 'UNSETTLING' TRAILERChris Hansen visited Build Studio to discuss "Crime Watch Daily" on May 9, 2017, in New York City.
