Matt Damon says he stopped using 'f-slur for a homosexual' after daughter told him it was 'dangerous'Matt Damon poses during a photocall for the film "Stillwater" at the 74th edition of the Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, southern France, on July 9, 2021.Matt Damon is facing backlash after revealing in an interview that he only stopped using the"f-slur for a homosexual" months ago after his daughter taught him"how that word is dangerous.
"Twenty years ago, the best way I can put it is that the journalist listened to the music more than the lyrics [of an interview]. Now your lyrics are getting parsed, to pull them out of context and get the best headline possible," Damon is quoted as saying before his slur story."Everyone needs clicks. Before it didn’t really matter what I said, because it didn’t make the news. But maybe this shift is a good thing. So I shut the f--- up more.
Matt Damon, who has been accused of misogyny & turning a blind eye to other abuses, is facing the consequences of his actions, after revealing that he only stopped using the word 'fa**ot' MONTHS ago because his daughter told him 'how that word is dangerous”, as if he didn’t know
Very disappointing in a supposedly talented, smart person.
Come on Matt… you know better … let’s respect everyone..
Good for him!! NBC loves to spread hate! I think Matt did a great thing.
So many are questioning why Damon thinks saying this would make him look good. I’m sure the guy is just proud of his daughter.
Dangerous words? She could become a censor.
This is even worse. If he used slurs like that for gay persons, then what other words does he use which could just as derogatory? Cannot believe that was the only one.
Support Matt for being honest enough to say he wasn’t a woke man when it came to these types of slurs. He is learning and l for one send him love and support. Just hating on him is silly because he had other things he’s working in his life other than keeping up with every insult!
At least he’s being honest, a lot of people still say It but they are not going to own up to it
But still uses the N word. Haha
doesn't he have a movie coming out? is he going for the repugnican dollar or something? SMH
Goes to show you, Harvard can’t teach you everything.
It's sometimes hard to get rid of bad habits, there's a limit to offensive words but also a limit to some kind of utter bigotry where context isn't taken into consideration. It's outright banging, sm mob lynch.
Anyone who hates on Matt for this after he apologized and aren't calling for the canceling of(or have made excuses for ) Christy Teigen after she literally was harassing a young girl to kill herself, can go ahead and Fuck All The Way Off.
Funny ,I thought his boyfriend was the Aflack guy. Someone said he sleeps in his bed.? Whaaaatever.
Are we kidding ourselves or what Really who gives a crap
If you’re THIS late, might as well keep on using it. WHAT FUCKING CENTURY IS THIS GUY IN.
So your mad that he is admitting his mistake and acknowledging he was wrong
America can't take a joke anymore
Is his next movie “The Grand-Wizard of Oz”? Let’s ask his daughter so we don’t have to act like we’re shocked and outraged to find an aging entitled White guy playing himself.
He’s learning though. Positive thinking- glad he is
Cancel him!
Idiots everywhere are forcing many underground because of their 'hollier-than -thou' attitude. The man learned and eliminated something that was negative in his vocabulary. What else do you want? Reparations?
Privileged entitlement runs deep
So instead of celebrating the fact that he stopped, everyone is “he didn’t do it fast enough”.
I'm in my 50s and I've known practically my whole life that the 'f-word' was offensive just like the 'n-word'. This is a really poor take and extremely disappointing. There is no defensive position. It's ignorance and bigotry. But yeah, good for him 🙄. MattDamon LGBTQ
sometimes it’s wise keep things to themselves. the whole world doesn’t need to know everything that goes on in their lives.
That’s some very effective self sabotage
Better late than never. We don’t need to tear down everyone for admitting mistakes and improving themselves. You do that, no one will change.
Ah Hollywood.
HomoHatersAreTheBiggestClosetQueensAndPerverts MattDamon
Next year he's going to stop calling women c u next Tuesdays after a brief talk with his toddler. Both kids will have to tackle eliminating the n-word from his vocabulary some time in 2023.
So corrective actions are frowned upon...
I’m glad he got wise to his behaviour but am shocked and disappointed that he didn’t know better long before that.
That's so gay
Hollywood is full of powerful gay people so he can kiss any chance of winning an Academy Award now. The gay voters of the Academy will not be voting for him.
It's progress, great Matt. Nobody can be perfect the first time.
Matt.. shoulda kept your mouth shut buddy. The cancel movement is coming for you now
Glad to hear Matt can listen, learn and grow. Now we can focus on getting more of our fellow citizens vaccinated to help curb this virus that is out of control.
Eminem once bragged in a rap song about using “the fag word so freely” and has yet to be cancelled, in fact he’s considered a champion of lgbtq… why?
What kind of bubble do you have to be living in not to know that the word 'f**got' is offensive and hurtful? What kind of lowlife actually uses this word? I knew not to say this word before I was 10 years old and that was a very long time ago.
How is this a positive thing? I'm 37 and have never used that word. I've known my entire life that it's a disrespectful and hurtful word and hes just learning this now? 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Mediocre yt man brags about his “accomplishment”
Question is who’s teaching his daughter about morals and raising her… the nanny?
What did he think it connoted, if not a slur against gay men? A weak-willed, feckless, ineffectual person? What?
South Park had it right: 'Matt... Damonnn'
The fact that he even used that word is disgraceful and very homophobic. I’m not sure I can forgive him for this. Kudos to his daughter. He’s off my movie list now.
Why would he even publicize this?
I say it all the time !!! I just said it ! Snd again and again haha it’s fun !!! Omg i am gonna open a coffee house snd call it that 😀 so f bucks 😀I am a Fcking genius
'backlash' lol. somehow it is still ok to disrespect the hell out of old white guys. and 'boomers' somehow the dingbats think that's ok. shut up f---!!! lol
He didn’t know before ?
Crazy how Matt Damon’s child knows more about tolerance than him.
These days, anyone who is widely promoted is probably a bad person. Let’s face it. Everything sucks.
