Hmm.

I found the entire interview on YT, it  was easy.  At 1:00 hour in,
Roddenberry does say this about his daughters, very concerning. But,
he goes on to discuss raising kids, and his son, nothing unusual.

He was old and ill, here. And clearly still suffering PTSD from his WW2
experiences.

The initial interview ends and they start again, that seems to be an attempt
at a humorous reel by the interview crew. Roddenberry seems too tired to
really participate. This is 99% of the concerning material.

I met Roddenberry at a University he was speaking at in 1975. 15 minutes he
spoke with us. There was nothing odd. My girlfriend was with us.

I do not think this is any kind of smoking gun. For a Hollywood Liberal,
he managed to remain married to Majel, who remained loyal to him for years
after he passed.
