he had stopped using the offensive term “months ago” when his daughter wrote him a “treatise” on “how that word is dangerous.”
“During a recent interview, I recalled a discussion I had with my daughter where I attempted to contextualize for her the progress that has been made — though by no means completed — since I was growing up in Boston and, as a child, heard the word 'f*g' used on the street before I knew what it even referred to,” Damon said in the statement.
“The word that my daughter calls the ‘f-slur for a homosexual’ was commonly used when I was a kid, with a different application,” he told the newspaper. “I made a joke, months ago, and got a treatise from my daughter. She left the table. I said, ‘Come on, that’s a joke! I say it in the movie ‘Stuck on You’!’ She went to her room and wrote a very long, beautiful treatise on how that word is dangerous. I said, ‘I retire the f-slur!’ I understood.
God people. Who cares. I mean really.
Bullshit
🙄
Thought he apologized for it.
Wait.. didn't he say his daughter explained to him the magnitude of using that slur AFTER he used it..... . . Dude.... This is worst than doubling down.
Oh man, is Damon getting woke canceled. That sucks lol.
the only people that might, •MIGHT•, have not used it: ~~ are those who were called it, in a derogatory manner ~ ~ and even they likely used it to explain to someone what happened or to further torture themselves

For all we know he could have been reading a script. C'mon people, you can put away the knives now.

What, Exactly, Is Going On With Matt Damon?The drama over Damon’s recent “Sunday Times” interview points to the bigger issue of what we’ll allow—and what, crucially, we won’t—in 2021. He looks like an old Lady. Homophobic slurs aside. Is it may be a little unfair to ask 'what's wrong with him?' I mean we've all watched his interviews for years he doesn't specifically seem like a likable guy. Not exactly a John Cena type you know? Great actor though.🧘🏾♀️ He’s a white guy from Boston so it’s always who he’s been. 🤷🏻♀️
