Chris Jericho Apologizes For Making Homophobic & Racist Remarks
By Ryan Clark on Thursday, November 5th, 2009 at 1:05 PM EST
Chris Jericho is apologizing for some recent comments he made at a film festival that many would consider to be racist and homophobic.
Jericho took part in a “Q&A” session at the Sacramento Horror Film Festival a few weeks ago following the screening of his movie, Albino Farm. Jericho referred to the session moderator as “Hadji”, a racial slur used against Middle Easterners. After the host jokingly checked Jericho’s drink for alcohol, the WWE Superstar used a gay slur towards him.
Jericho has since apologized and told TMZ.com, “After seeing the video I realize some inappropriate comments were made and I apologize if I offended anybody. Just know that everyone on stage was having a blast and we all shared a drink and a laugh after! The good news is I got my wish of being posted on TMZ.”
