You can't just say anything that's on your mind to actor Idris Eba. (Even though we always want to...about other things.) Anyways, one reporter in the 2011 BET Awards press room learned that the hard way after the actor popped off on her about asking him about his Tyler Perry comments.
Get the deets inside and find out which new slur Tracy Morgan is accused of using in his standup.
Earlier this year, Idris Eba made some comments that many people would call "negative" about Tyler Perry that also echoed comments Spike Lee made about the director. What Idris said was,
“Can I be candid? I don’t like all of Tyler Perry’s films. Yes, I did work with Tyler for ‘Daddy’s Little Girls’ because it portrayed a positive image of a black father. I am happy for Tyler’s success…we need Tyler Perry…by going to support his movies, we need to show economic strength. But we are also responsible for elevating film. I’m not with buffoonish characters like Madea or Big Momma.”
That's pretty straightforward right? So why did a reporter ask Idris to clarify/justify that statement? And Idris was not happy about. With his British accent, Idris basically called the reporter a dumbass....but he used VERY nice words. And he sounded very sexy when he did it.
Listen to the exchange here:
In other celebrity pop off news.....
Tracy Morgan should just walk around with a foot in his mouth. It would keep him from talking and save the rest of us from his bad jokes.
Over the weekend, Tracy performed in NYC and proved once again that standup isn't his gift. He warned his audience,
"Don't ever mess with women who have retarded kids. Them young retarded males is strong. They're strong like chimps."
Then he told a story about a girl he once dated, whom he called a "a cripple" with a prosthetic arm, a mechanical larynx and a portable dialysis machine.
This from the same man who was in tears a few weeks ago because he didn't know his words hurt people.
Loves me some Tracy but if you're gonna be ballsy enough to say things like this, you gotta take the heat....
