“I am disgusted and appalled by Tracy Morgan’s homophobic rant,” read Cheyenne Jackson’s statement. “The devastating repercussions of hate-filled language manifest in very real ways for today’s LGBTQ youth. I’ve known Tracy for two years, spent many long hours with him on set, and I want to believe that this behavior is not at the core of who he is. I’m incredibly disappointed by his actions, and hope that his apology is sincere.”
Even fellow comedian Chris Rock, who at first had defended Tracy Morgan Friday night, changed his tune on Saturday. After being gently excoriated by comedian Wanda Sykes, Chris Rock issued a thorough condemnation of Morgan.
“Tracy morgan is a tad off we all know that so when tracy says something i usually don’t take it anymore serious than i would a statement from gary busey or flavor flav,” Rock wrote, adding, “when i first heard the statement i thought it was offensive but it also reminded me of my father saying ill kill you if you ever bring home a white girl but after reading everything tracy said . wow i get it that s*it wasn’t called for and i don’t support it at all. now can i please go to the tony awards without getting my *ss kicked.”http://bit.ly/mpUpOS
