Oh No You Didn't, David Arquette! Yes, He Did!!!
Filed under: Courteney Cox
David Arquette must have gone loco from living in a box for two days for charity, because he opened his trap to say something extremely rude in an interview the other day.
He said: "I think Latina women are, I mean, it depends on the woman, but I think they are very, they have great judgment, but there are some that are just nuts. I'm just saying."
And we think there are just some actors whose careers are dried up and live vicariously through their wives.
Just saying!
We give him credit because he knew he had done wrong, and so this morning he issued an apology to all our beautiful Latinas.
Arquette says:
"I would like to issue an apology for the comments I made on Fox and Friends. My intent was to be humorous and not offensive. I have nothing but love and respect for Latina women and women in general of all cultural backgrounds. What saddens me most is that it took away from the issue of Hunger in America, for which I was on the show to begin with. I work at a pantry in Venice California with a hispanic woman named Delpia (who has been feeding people at St. Joseph's Center for 29 years) and she is my personal hero. Having been raised in Los Angeles I have grown up with a deep and profound love for the Latino culture."
Isn't interesting that living in El Lay qualifies a person to be surrounded by Latino culture? Huh.
Do U think his statement is sincere?

Honestly, I think people should stop having to issue apologies. Whatever happened to freedom of speech. Right or Wrong, Harsh, or Loving, people should have the right to speak their mind, and say what it is they want to say without a coalition or angry mob after you.
Oh Mario leave him alone!
If you're latino, then hes right…not only are they nuts…but there fat annoying basterds.
y do u always try to twist what people say..your cool perez but sometimes your annoying!
a piece of shit like every other man in this universe
dude, perez, lay off. i am a latina woman and i know we are crazy. your "dried up acting career" comment was rude, and a little ironic, since you make a living off living vicariously through other people's drama…
Who fucking cares what he said, it's his own opinion. And apologies are just used to cover their ass, so what's the point. And actually, living ANYWHERE on the west coast pretty much gives you the low down on Latina culture.
Seriously, since when can YOU state your opinion and no one else can? Shut up Perez :/
What the first poster said.
What he said is true for all women, regardless of race. Remove the "latina", and that statement is still true, and yeah, i think he was joking.
Thank god I'm not famous, I'd be saying I'm sorry on a weekly basis.
Get over it, who cares there are crazies in every race.
I totally think his comment is sincere. He's a comedian and taken out of context of course it sounds derogative. I have to say that I have personally heard latino women make the same comments though - joking about themselves. It's to help keep their luscious latino men in line, and out of other women's grasp. Know what I'm saying? Of course it's not true, but it's kidded to be true with no offense intended, and typically none received. I don't think he meant crazy, as in lunatics. I think he meant crazy as in hot blooded and fiesty…which should be taken as a compliment. That's part of what makes latino women so attractive, it seems. David's a good guy, go easy on him.
He was playing off of the Fiery Latina stereotype. And it's fine. Simmer, Perez. I'm an Irish Red Head…I get the 'crazy' joke a lot. Are you tired yet of always crying 'bigot' and 'racist'? You're gay and you're Latino. We get it. You are doubly burdened by your minority status…and everyone who isn't is suspect. He's human. Allowed to his opinion. You have demonstrated that you are far from perfect, what with the recent retractions and apologies.
You can tell he was being a smartass when making the comment about Latina women! Just sarcastic humor sometimes looks offensive when written down, but when heard it sounds completely different.
Sorry, but it's true…I have met more than a few!
LMAO…that shit is funny!
I think his statement is sincere! It was taken totally out of context~being a Latina myself, I know their are some mean ass crazy latinas'! Don't tell me otherwise! I think Perez like to scratch this shit ~ to get everyone's panties bunched up! Remember the cause he was promoting! David is welcomed to come in my house for some good Latina soul cooking anytime! Perez don't get all Miss America on his shit! EAT A SNICKERS~fight hunger in AMERICA!
White boy couldn't handle a Latina anyway! Latina's are the most beautiful women. They are born with beautiful hair, eyes, skin and definitely don't need fake hair, fake eyelashes, fake boobs….
I'm sure he meant no harm, but my family is gonna woop his ass anyways.
You know what's really ridiculous, is if you're a celebrity, you can't make a damn joke without possibly offending someone then having to issue an apology
I really dont think its that big of a deal Perez.. I'm a latina woman and i am definately not offended. Have a sense of humor. And to be honest, he didn't have to apologize. It's not like he verbally abused Miss California
Hahah … this kills me
If anyone has met a Latino then they would know that they are nuts … they create drama for themselves … it's great
But why is that an offense?
Why cant anything be taken as a joke anymore?
Never retract anything … Stick to your original words
It was a joke wow how people can be so insecure
Great, now we will have to start apologizing for breathing…I swear this is getting old. No one can have opinions anymore…it is insane. and yes, I do actually think that living in L.A. qualifies as being surrounded by latino culture. Considering that a big portion of the population is hispanic. All my friends were hispanic and I am as white as can be..I was in the minority…you experience their life and cultures and traditions.
Anyhow, everyone needs to get over their sensitivities and whining and start developing a thick skin and let us express our opinions in life…..or mr. perez..you will lose your job because of all the people you "offend"!
Sincere NO! CYA, yes!
Hey! we aren't mean, just because you can't take it.
I'm latina, and I gotta agree. lol But all women are kind of crazy. lol
I just think he's not a very smart man. He tried to make an ethnic joke, but coming from someone who probably has less ethnicity in them than Sarah Palin, it didn't sound right.
The majority of my friends are Latinas… and they can be nuts! But I dunno if it's coz they're Latina or just… because that's how people can be sometimes. I dunno, I'm a white chick and they all tell me that white ppl are crazy, too.
Yes…there are women who are crazy and just happen to be Latin, of course, just like there are crazy women who happen to be white, or black.
God give the guy a break hes just trying to get a little fame
I AM 100 % PUERTO RICAN ..I LIVE ON THIS AMAZING ISLAND TOO …AND I THINK MOST PUERTO RICAN WOMAN ARE FREAKING NUTS ….!!! BUT I THINK MOST WOMAN IN GENERAL JUST ARE ..LOOK AT THE WHITE GIRLS ..CRAZY TOO!!! WE ARE JUST KNOWN TO BE MORE VOCAL AND PHYSICAL THEN THE WHITE CHICKS!! WE CANT HELP IT
Re: GossipGoblin702 – And do you really believe that, do you believe that the KKK that the right to preach that Blacks should be slaughtered, as long as they don't actually hurt anyone? Cuz I believe that they have the right, though I completely disagree, I was just wondering if you really did.
STEREO TYPES ARE FUNNY!!!!!!!! Does society have to get crazy over every little thing?
SINCE YOU KNOW LITTLE TO NONE ABOUT SINCERITY I THINK YOU SHOULD STFU!
freedom of speak? only if you're free to issue a public apology about what you just said.
Living in L.A. does qualify as being surrounded by latino culture, so does San Diego. Hhhhmmmm ever been to any of the So. Cal. Missions? You probably haven't. Get a clue Perez latinos are no longer a minority in So. Cal. I personally thank god for that everyday b/c latin food is my fav. and latin music is close behind. Can't live without it.
I'm Spanish and I agree with his comment. I think it was supposed to mean we are crazy, which we are, which is what he said!
They also go crazy with the brown lipliner.
Re: kjaxon – It is true! we are crazy, but it's because we're passionate and this passion makes us great lovers. That's why white (and all) men love us!
lol I am Latina and I can say part of his statement is true!! But then again I am married to a white man and I have never seen crazier women than his sisters adn cousins!!!! Yikes, I think latina women are tempermental and mena but white girls are just plain psycho!!! =) I feel bad for my daughter she has the best of both!!
being latino is not a race is just a geographical term…there are racial, religious and language differences within latinos…
women of all races can be nuts. he just happenned to know a latina who acts like a crazy person
he dont need to realease a statement. everyone has the right to their own opinions based on your own experiences.
Courtney Cox has a career??
Come on Perez… you say so many worse things than that everyday. He has a right to his opinion. Latina's are crazy - sometimes in a fun way, sometimes in an obnoxious way. So?
Who cares about what some "has been" actor says. We, Latinas, can be nuts. It is true. But we are so much more than that. Too bad his dumb ass will never know.
All women are crazy regardless of race. He shouldn't have singled out one race. I think it's cheesy when anyone of another race has something stereotypical and negative to say about another race. I'm a latina and I would never say o all white men are yuppies or all white women are girls gone wild sluts. He might have been joking but it's wrong. If you are going to say something don't apologize..keep it real
Latinas I know are pretty much all nuts. I agree with him.
Latinas that are just nuts? he must have been thinking of you!
I'm sorry but I'm a latina and some latin women ARE crazy! I agree, stop apologizing.. shoot let people say what they want!!!! Perez I think you rock, but at times you really should just leave peeps ALONE!
He's into taco's.
No uh uh…I saw the WHOLE thing and he even INTERUPTED to bring the WHOLE Sonia Sotomayor thing up on his own…out the blue…..foul…all day….Courtney can keep ya buh-bye!
His apology was definitely sincere. AND - it was MUCH more sincere than your sorry ass attempt at an apology when you hurled homophobic slurs at will.i.am. You are the biggest hypocrite in the world.
he couldn't be more right.
Oh please, people can say what they want to without having to worry. If anyone should issue an apology it should be u Perez with all your yapping about people all the time. Anyway, I do not find this offensive, I'm latina and he's right, we are nuts!!! LOL….
I see no problem in his comment. Every race is going to have crazy people anyways!
oh blah, i'm a latina too and i totally agree with his comments. A lot of them are nutballs - myself excluded of course
I've known white, blacks, latinas and asian women that are damn nuts.
I'M LATINA AND YES I'M CRAZY - SO EFFEN WHAT?
Living in LA would only have him see Mexican culture, not latin culture. Come to Miami David, this is where its at!
Making fun of the Sotomayora thing.
I think David is an idiot without any of the recent comments coming from him! His apology was clearly a means of covering up one of two things: ignorance or stupidity! Yes, there is a difference. I am a Latina and personally, I could care less what David Arquette has to say now or EVER!!!!
once again you take everything way too far, who gives a shit there are crazy women in every fucking race what's new about that
Oh no! did David offended someone?! come on, people! Latinos are crazy! he doesn't need to apologize for anything! people are so sensitive. get over yourselves!
Perez, you are nuts and you're a woman.
SO, he has a point and he's right….
What's the problem then?!
he's actually right haha…no apology needed dave
He is right, latinas like you are nuts. Drama, drama, drama.
But really, who cares? all women are insane. No matter race.
HELLO - yes living in LA qualifies a person to be surrounded by Latino culture, DUH!! Please - no apology was needed. People love to whine about everything, you are certainly no exception Perez.
He's right…and they have hairy upper lips and hairy boobs! YUK!
im sorry but they really are crazy!
i dont think he was sincere at all i think he got caught talking shit and had no other choice!
Since you've never apologized for anything, how would you know?
Also, this comment of yours made absolutely no sense at all. I find it hard to believe you graduated high school, much less college.
"Isn't interesting that living in El Lay qualifies a person to be surrounded by Latino culture? Huh."
WE CAN BE NUTS SOMETIMES. SO DONT FUCK WITH US
omg mario, i live in miami..hialeah to be exact…you gonna tell me there aren't some crazy cuban bitches up in here??? stfu already asshole…there are crazy folk in ALL ethnicities…shit LOOK AT YOU..the one who cries for getting punched and then hopes someone gets hit by a moving truck…FUCKIN' LOCA ASSHOLE RIGHT THERE MARIO
I'm a latina and I'm crazy but he's ugly
He should be able to allowed to say whatever he wants. I really don't see how is comment is all the hurtful. People need to stop being so sensitive.
i don't think in any case is it okay to make general comments about a culture or race. the fact that people think it is acceptable to be degrading and disrespectful to any race is disgusting. as a Latina i am offended by his remarks. i think it was an ignorant and hateful thing to say, even if he didn't recognize that. the fact that he can just say comments like that and not have to think about how it affects the people he is insulting is a sign of privilege. i think it is really sad the amount of people commenting that it is okay to joke about that. i really don't agree. and i agree with perez, living around a group of people does not make you an expert on the whole group. and just because you have one latina friend that you admire, does not mean you know what all Latina women are like.
OK Bitches We all know Latinas ARE crazy. I Am Latina have spent a lot of time in Latin America and I know what I'm talking about.
Look who is talking about nuts. That guy just to look at him anyone can tell he is an idiot…. Why pay attention to that douche bag !
Re: ohhhkay06 – yeah but you know we are crazy
Re: Mrs. B – UUUHHHH…Jennifer BEANER Lopez …anyone ??
He only speaks the truth. Why should he have to apologize for what he says and feels? Is no one allowed to have an opinion any more??
I for one think he is full of shit. I am latin but because I dont really look it because the part of latin america where I am from a lof of us have blonde hair and colored eyes I see a lot of people say racist things all the time. I live in los angeles in the hollywood area and this has got to be the most racist town in all of the US. all the shit they say about mexican ppl and for some reason everyone is mexican regardless if they are colombian or ecuadorian or salvadorean they are all just mexican. its racism and its ignorant. from what I see latin people are bright and hard working this guy is a racist and is trying to pass it off as a joke no doubt his wife is racist too.
I have some good latino friends and they are so classy, intelligent, funny, witty, gorgeous too! Also, a little coo coo sometimes, but it's because they are so competitive and know-it-alls…they don't like to be outdone ever, but I still love em! lol!
It's not completely untrue. Never heard the phrase "Keeping the panic in hispanic"?
I really cant believe some of the shit on these comments. its almost as if its okay to say latinas are nuts just because some think its a stereotype. for your information it is not a stereotype. maybe we are hot tempered but not nuts. I have heard about a lot more white ppl doing some crazy shit. most serial killers are white males. and what about that crazy ass astranout bitch that fucking wore a diaper cross country to kill his ex's chick. dont tell me that shit aint nuts. and actors are probably some of the most neurotic ppl you will ever meet. wtf people stop being so ignorant. I guess thats how they want you, just like lambs ready for the quick slaughter.
Perez, if anyone needs to stop being so rude, it's you.
And I think that there are just some bloggers who need to stop living vicariously through real celebrities.
You can tell he wasn't being mean-spirited. Everybody's nuts in their own way.
latino men who dye their hair and bash people on the internet are asses!!!
did you just got off the cuba boat and arrive in L.A.?? los angeles, california is full of mexicans…i mean look at the name of the city and state..HELLO!! and as a 'latino' and angelino..we are everywhere and loca!!
Perez how are you gunna talk about rude comments when thats what you do all day long…especially after your recent incident with talking shit you shouldn't be… He was joking obviously… Love you perez but you ought to think before you write!!
110% true
The thing is…they are kind of crazy sometimes. When I was growing up, my best friend's mom pinned her hubby's hand to the kitchen table with a table knife b/c he pissed her off.
Come to think of it, I don't know if it's so much "crazy" as it is being strong enough to let out what they're really thinking. I think ALL women (me included) would be called crazy if that were the case.
Re: YUCK – Haha, thanks for bringing up the astronaut in a diaper thing. Confirms my second thought…pretty much all women are crazy, we all just let it out in varying degrees.
Rosie Perez is bananas.
I don't think this is that big of a deal. If he had just said "women" no one would have cared and yet that would be misogynistic. So…I've heard worse, I guess is what I'm saying.
Re: ohhhkay06 – I understand your comment. That's not what Perez said. His comment was incomprehensible. "Isn't interesting that living in El Lay qualifies a person to be surrounded by Latino culture? Huh." Is not the same as Perez saying, "Does having Latino friends and relations make him an expert? But Perez certainly thinks he's an expert on Hollyweird because Lady Gaga and a few others hang with him for self-serving reasons. Isn't that the same thing?
es un pendejo. but i guess that makes me a mean latina right? love you perez.
umm im latina and im def. not offended…its pretty fuckin true actually…get over it
Seriously? There's no drama in this. Honestly, if you're in LA, you're exposed to Latino culture. It's a freakin' fact. Quit trying to create crappy drama in this. Let it go. He apologized and I believe he was sincere… he was kidding and playing off a stereotype. When he realized he offended people, he felt bad and apologized. Give the guy a break.
Why the hell do people have to issue apoligies all the time? What ever happened to that little thing called freedom of speech? It's stupid that no one has the right to their own feelings about anything anymore. It sucks. If that's how he feels he shouldn't aplogize for it.
I like David. He seems like a really nice guy, and I doubt he meant harm. Fuck off Perez, you offend more people in one day than I am sure David has in his entire lifetime. I'm a fan of his, and I cannot wait for the latest Scream movie. Rock on David and ignore Perez!!
to those minorities making comments about white chicks: you are being racist, when you're dissing races. accept your race if you don't, and if you do, great. just don't stereotype other races, and white chicks count. chicks are crazy from every single race, don't single any one race out! we're chicks, we should have each others backs.
Basically he said it depends on the person. No big deal. David is so cute and sweet.
