| Not a racist, but he does play one on TV |
Chevy Chase had another verbal outburst on the set of
"Community" yesterday during filming, this time dropping the N-word
during a rant about the direction of the show.
Sources on set tell TMZ ... Chase was complaining about the direction of his character, who he feels has grown increasingly bigoted as the years have gone on. We're told Chase was becoming uncomfortable with the material and was frustrated that his previous conversations about the writing had seemingly gone ignored.
According to our sources, Chase got so heated while discussing his character, he yelled out something along the lines of ... What's next? Am I gonna say the word ni**er?
We're told Chase apologized to the cast and crew for the comment, which was not directed at anyone in particular, certainly not the show's African-American cast members, Donald Glover and Yvette Nicole Brown.
Doesn’t it
suck when you try to make a point about how much of a racist you aren’t and you
end up looking like a racist? You got to feel for Chevy. He’s on a show that’s
on its death rattle, playing a character that he seemingly hates. He’s
comfortable playing the lovable goof but not the racist, xenophobic, old curmudgeon.
That’s the breaks though. Should have tried harder on that talk show.
