Jason Statham learned that he was going to be put on BLAST about something that allegedly happened 5 years ago during a private meeting.
Isn’t anywhere safe anymore without having to worry about someone trying to for a come up on someone else coattails? Jason Statham was tipped off about an audio recording that allegedly sees him repeatedly use homophobic slurs. Read on…
Jason Statham has issued a pre-emptive apology regarding an audio recording in which he repeatedly used homophobic slurs on the 2015 gambling movie Wild Card.
What is the big deal about using the term fag or faggot?
Doesn’t anyone realize that a fag means cigarette and faggot is a bunch of sticks? America needs to stop being so hyper sensitive.
Last year, the British actor was confronted by a consultant on the 2015 gambling movie Wild Card, who warned Statham that he had audio recording of him using the phrase “f***ing f**s” during an argument with producer Steve Casman on set in 2013.
Despite not having heard the recording, and saying that he had no recollection of the argument or of using the language, Statham issued a statement to The Blast on saying he was “deeply” sorry if he did utter those insults.
The 50-year-old actor said in the statement:
Someone approached me claiming to have a tape of me using terms offensive to the LGBTQ community during a conversation I had with my producing partner, on a movie set five years ago.
I have never heard the recording and my multiple requests to hear the recording have been refused. I have no recollection of making any of these offensive comments. However, let me be clear, the terms referenced are highly offensive. If I said these words, it was wrong and I deeply apologise.
Anyone who knows me knows it doesn’t reflect how I feel about the LGBTQ community. While I cannot fix what was said in the past, I can learn from it and do better in the future.
Statham is married to British model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. In 2013, he starred in the action thriller Wild Card three years ago, alongside Sofia Vergara, Jason Alexander and Stanley Tucci.
People make us sick. Everyone is trying to expose everyone these days and its pathetic.
