Tyrese Gibson took to social media to apologize for a sexist rant as Fate of the Furious debuted to record numbers, speeding to a global opening weekend takings of $532.5 million.
The 38-year-old actor posted a lengthy apology on Instagram after talking about ‘sluts, skeezers, hoes, tramps and overly aggressive promiscuous women’ in an interview posted Monday by BET. Gibson during his denunciation called out women who ‘are never without a man because they don’t have no standards. They ready to have sex with any and everything that want to have sex with them.’
I’m gonna tell you all right now, and this might be harsh: Sluts, skeezers, hos, tramps and overly aggressive promiscuous women, they are never without a man because they don’t have no standards. They ready to have sex with any and everything that want to have sex with them [. …] You have women that are active out in these streets, they going to lunches and dinners every night. Private planes, mega yachts, it’s cracking. They’re never without. However, it comes with a cost, you gonna put a lot of miles on yourself down there, come on.
He posted a photo of himself Saturday to his more than 8 million followers on Instagram with the apology in the caption. ‘My mother taught me better than this….. lesson learned in life you will learn that It’s not always ‘what’ you say, it’s the ‘how’ we choose to say it. For the record I’m far from a misogynist, a male chauvinist or flat out mean,’ Gibson wrote in the caption. ‘My intentions were there but my delivery f***ing horrible…. And clearly all the way off…. And for that I sincerely apologize to all of the ladies,’ he added. What do you think? In my opinion, Tyrese has said far too much as of late, and at this point his apologies are just more noise.
