Tina Fey Responds to Tracy’s Homophobic Rant, “He’s too self-centered to ever hurt another person.”

I’m not going to regurgitate a story that you’ve heard a million times. The short and dirty is that Tracy Morgan made some gay jokes that seemed to go too far. Friday, he apologized and today, his ’30-Rock’ co-star, Tina Fey released a statement.

“The violent imagery of Tracy’s rant was disturbing to me at a time when homophobic hate crimes continue to be a life-threatening issue for the GLBT Community. It also doesn’t line up with the Tracy Morgan I know, who is not a hateful man and is generally much too sleepy and self-centered to ever hurt another person. I hope for his sake that Tracy’s apology will be accepted as sincere by his gay and lesbian co-workers at ’30 Rock’, without whom Tracy would not have lines to say, clothes to wear, sets to stand on, scene partners to act with, or a printed-out paycheck from accounting to put in his pocket.”
