Questions before hand doesn’t mean it’s scripted. It just means the “approved” questions are presented, more or less.
And again, this is entirely normal. You don’t go into an interview without having preparation, and that’s not a “script”.
No one- and I mean no one- important enough to be interviewed is going to not give a list of questions they want to answer; and questions they don’t want brought up.
(For example, Jon Stewart’s interviews. The interviewees go on there knowing they’re gonna get asked hard questions, that they’re prepared to answer, and then they get on with reconditioning their image.)
