Mea Culpa
Filed under: Icky Icky Poo > Gay Gay Gay > Old People
Jerry Lewis issued the following apology Tuesday evening for the homophobic slur he blurted on television this past weekend during his MDA telethon.
"During the 21-1/2-hour live broadcast of my Telethon for the Muscular Dystrophy Association this weekend, I made a joking comment to a member of my production team. I apologize to anyone who was offended. I obviously made a bad choice of words. Everyone who knows me understands that I hold no prejudices in this regard. In the family atmosphere of the Telethon, I forget that not everyone knows me that well. That something like this would distract from the true purpose of the Telethon pains me deeply. The success of the show and all the good that will come from it shouldn't be lost because of one unfortunate word. I accept responsibility for what I said. There are no excuses. I am sorry."
Is he going to go to rehab now????
asshole!
oldman!
Wow interesting…
oh it pains me
Who cares.
dumb fucker. i hate him. isnt it cliche to issue a apology statement after using some prejudice slander as thought people will pat him on the back and be "everything is ok."
you guys r making this to big of a deal i mean it wasnt that bad get over it
He's an idiot.
tisk tisk people today. Common just accept everyone for what they are, you're not able to change them so why worry about them?
And we ar surprised? He's always been loose in the lips…and with age he ain't getting better. Time to put him out to pasture!!!

he didnt do anything wrong. someone needs to stand up and say "gays are perverts. homosexuality is caused by abuse, just like cancer is caused by smoking." there is no such thing as homosexual "sex", that can only occur between a man and woman. when gays dod what they do all they are doing is trying to inflict the abuse on another person that was inflicted on them. it really should be called "gay consensual abuse"
perez, please stop posting vids of yourself. they gross me out.
Be nice! He does a lot of good. Go chase some real aholes…Paris…Brittney:ding dang!
He took full responsibility for his actions with no excuses. That's a refreshing way to handle a bad situation. Thank you Jerry!
(see above)
He gave a very nice apology. Get over it people and move on. Save your negative energy for someone more deserving, like other hateful people like yourselves.
what is more obscene, jerry lewis or the practicing homosexual? case closed now lets move on
so its land of the free….. as long as you PC
So you can call out people for being gay but this old guy makes a fag joke and you all whine.
Glad to know I live among a nation of pussys….and fags
Perez you have a lot of self loathing going on if you let an 80 year old comedian who said fag get to you. Maybe that's the reason why lower yourself to playing the stereotypical over-the-top clown queen to gain acceptance. You're like a modern day gay mistral show. The way you carry yourself and act sets the gay movement back.
If you don't like slurs against your sexual preference, please don't make slurs against people's children, ageism remarks, mental issues, or other gay people. Walk the walk dude. Otherwise you look like a buffoon.
"Larry King Live" appears to be pre-rehab (or pre-death) for all the "stars." He must be booked solid for the next ten years. He'll be his own guest in about two. . . .
Perez he is an old school entertainer. Get over it. He will be long remembered as you fade…. Get over the fag thing and move on. This site is getting annoying. You fell off.
When is he going to apologize for being about as funny as back acne????
whatever. at least he apologized and took responsibility.
Hey Paca, c'mon over to my igloo and let me lay my recently flayed whale on your smegma-laden face. Just an idea, given that you obviously have no life. Re: paca –
God Bless Jerry Lewis, the man is over 80 years old, has helped so many children, and was joking around with someone he works with. He has now given a heartfelt apology, leave him alone.
Well, if you made a donation on your credit card, now might be a good time to reverse the charges…in fact Perez you should lead the charge for people to "charge back" their donations. An apology can only go so far, people need to see the $$$ fly away in order to understand their actions.
He appologized, let him be. Who cares…we all know when we are alone with friends we call eachother some offensive words about your sexual orientation. It's up to you if you can take it. If someone is calling it to be Mean then yeah they shoudn't say it but he said it joking around. I accept his apology!!!
