Michelle Rodriguez attested that her “Widows” co-star Liam Neeson is not a racist because of how he kissed Viola Davis during the movie.
The actress came to Neeson’s defense Wednesday night at the amfAR gala in the wake of Neeson’s racially charged comments that he wanted to kill a “black bastard” to avenge a friend who had been raped. The actor later apologized and contended that his comments were taken out of context.
“It’s all f—in’ bulls—. Liam Neeson is not a racist,” Rodriguez told Vanity Fair at the New York event. “Dude, have you watched ‘Widows’? His tongue was so far down Viola Davis’s throat. You can’t call him a racist ever. Racists don’t make out with the race that they hate, especially in the way he does with his tongue — so deep down her throat. I don’t care how good of an actor you are. It’s all bulls—. Ignore it. He’s not a racist. He’s a loving man. It’s all lies.”
Davis and Rodriguez co-star in “Widows,” a thriller that sees the women attempt a heist in order to pay back a crime boss after their criminal husbands are killed. Neeson played the husband of Davis’ character.
Lionsgate scrubbed Tuesday night’s red carpet for the New York City premiere of Neeson’s upcoming film “Cold Pursuit” in the wake of the controversy. The film opens on Friday with Neeson portraying a Colorado snow-plower seeking revenge when his son is murdered.
Yes, folks. They ARE that stupid.
Jesus cannot come soon enough. Seriously, what is he waiting for.
Does that mean that just because Rodriguez kissed Vin Diesel in Fast and Furious that she somehow isn’t a pervert?
There is not ONE HUMAN who has not had one.
Virginia governor Ralph Northam needs to find a picture of him kissing a black woman. And he had better do it pronto. Then all will be forgiven.
If the desire to kill is a sign of racism, all humans are racist.
I think it’s a publicity stunt.
You’ll kiss a pig’s ass if you’re paid enough to do it.
Well there it is: we now have a method of innoculation against the charge of racism: kiss a black woman/man and its all good after that.
He should call Mad Maxine for a photo op.
Plus his politics are ‘correct’.
Like Bill Clinton, it was ok that he was a rapist because he stood for “women’s issues”. (rape not being one of them, I guess)
Plenty of slave owners did more than kiss their slaves
He's a pretty low-key guy.
Indeed. Racism has nothing to do with finding someone physically attractive. If that were the case, I guess all the slave owners who had sex with their slaves are now cleared? In Michelle Rodriguez' empty head, that's proof that they are not racist!
So now you can get anti-racist points for certain activities? - who knew - how ‘bout if you hired three blacks, served as a thesis supervisor for one and included one as co-author of any article you published? - should be good for something.......
Oh, it’s the “cleansing kiss,” like kissing a frog or a princess. So, following along here, if Va. Governor Rotham is seen kissing a black woman, he’s absolved of his black face episode?
So, he gets a Liberal Pass? Like the Virginia Dems want?
I think this whole black face stuff is BS anyways. Their over the top political correctness is backfiring and aiming directly at them. This madness needs to stop.
Can't understand why he would say what he did. Thinking it is one thing, stating it in public forum is another.
