Tyrese Gibson Apologizes for Sexist Tirade

The Fate of the Furious actor Tyrese Gibson is doing some damage control after a public relations crash earlier this week. In a clip posted Monday on BET’s website, Gibson launched an ugly, sexist rant against “sluts” and “skeezers,” and is now apologizing by saying, in part, “My mother taught me better than this.”

In the BET interview, Gibson railed against “sluts, skeezers, hoes, tramps and overly aggressive promiscuous women” who are “never without a man because they don’t have no standards. They’re ready to have sex with any and everything that want to have sex with them.”

He encouraged single women to “hold out until God sends you what’s yours.” In a very odd way of promoting his latest movie, Gibson went on: “You have women that are active out in these streets, they’re 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.”

The backlash didn’t take long, especially after Wendy Williams called him out. “Who made him the moral police?” (Watch her take-down, below).
