Matt Damon Now Says He Doesn't 'Use Slurs Of Any Kind' After Backlash Over Interview
HuffPost
The actor is clarifying his remarks about retiring the "f-slur for homosexual" only months ago.
Hunting for some goodwill after an interview anecdote gone terribly wrong, Matt Damon is clarifying that he doesn’t “use slurs of any kind” and firmly stands with the LGBTQ community. The actor addressed his controversial comments in a statement released on Monday night after revealing in a profile for The Sunday Times that he only just recently stopped using the “f-slur for a homosexual” at the behest of his daughter. In the piece, Damon said that he used the word “months ago” as part of a joke, which prompted one of his children to write a “treatise” on “how that word is dangerous.”More Related News
