Gabourey Sidibe has apologized for her repeated use of a transphobic slur while appearing on the January 23rd broadcast of “The Arsenio Hall Show.”
The Oscar nominated actress was talking about living in New Orleans while filming “American Horror Story: Coven” when she said the word “tranny” no less than five times in under a minute:
Gabourey Sidibe: There was a bar that we would frequent and every time we’d go, when we were leaving every single time there was always like a gang of cops arresting trannies.
Audience: [Laughter]
Sidibe: Specifically trannies.
Arsenio Hall: Yeah…
Sidibe: And I don’t know what goes on with trannies but that tranny on tranny crime needs to stop!
Arsenio Hall and audience: [Laughter]
Sidibe [chuckling]: It is tearing our nation apart!
