Garrett's Racist Taunts: 'Wear the Turban!'

Posted Apr 15th 2009 3:15PM by TMZ Staff

Brad Garrett ignited a new racial firestorm yesterday when the giant actor dropped some serious slurs at a paparazzo during a heated argument in the middle of the street.


We don't know what set off the scuffle, but Garrett can be clearly heard saying, "Wear the turban! Wear the turban!" People had to restrain both Garrett and the photog from attacking each other, but eventually Brad got into his car and drove off.

A rep for Garrett was not immediately available for comment.

16. What do you expect when you follow people around shoving cameras in their faces and asking about their personal lives? Paps should be able to take it if they're going to dish it out.

17. First Kramer, now Robert Barone! Remember all prejudice is wrong, so don't assume that all tall dorky guys with goose-honk voices are racists. That wouldn't be right!!!

18. Too funny...perhaps if they learned how to speak proper english & weren't such dirty scumbags, with their stupid questions & stalking tactics, he would have said something nice. But these people are like friggin roaches and it should be against the law for them to put people in danger & hound them to the point of confrontation, all for a friggin picture. They truly have gotten way out of control, especially when these people have their children with them. CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE PHOTOGRAPHED BY ANY ROACH PAP!!! How is it that these roaches have more rights than those they are stalking? Damn immigrants!!!

20. Man, I wish this bear of a man would get his hands on one of these papclowns. Was that brother the one that Woody H. had whinning like a little Btch? He kept referring to his size which SURE as HELL didn't faze W.H. ANY man, that lets another man punk him the way W.H. did and whinned worse than Rihanna, DESERVES to get his ass kick, just like Sam Jackson said.

24. Is that an Obama sticker on his car? He's not only more stupid for that but he's going against B.O.'s change for America.
And making fun of a turban isn't racist it's anti culutural.

26. So this is considered racist? But calling someone "Little White Bitch" isn't?? Hmmm. Double standard. I still don't understand it. Guess I never will.
