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.

31. Brads the man!! He's still got it!!! Funny as hell! Beat the jerks ass next time! Shows how stupid the paparazzi are. Chasing around "c-List" celebrities. All of a sudden theres a law stating you must love everyone. I call BS. There's a lot of people I love but theres a lot of people that are worthless crap. A lot. By the way, Kramer is hysterical. You dummies that think we all should just love everyone no matter what they are should move to Fantasy Island!!! Jerks!!! HaHaha!!!! Brad is awesome!!

32. Oh TMZ will you never learn? When the photogs have low menatal capacities this is what you are going to get. Brainless celeb chasers who are humiliated after waiting for hours to try and exploit someone. Booooo F'ing Hoooo!

33. This is DOWNRIGHT RACIST! NO Different than Michael Richards Racist "N" word rant at two innocent African Americans.
Obviously, the gentlemen being verbally ASSAULTED by Garret is a member of a Middle Eastern, presumably Muslim, faith. The Turban remark is the SAME AS THE " N " WORD!
THis Garret fellow should be taken of of TV immediately... SUED.... and spend some time in COMMUNITY SERVICE helping MUSLIM children... maybe then he would learn how hurtful his words are.

34. Brad Garett is a washed up has been idiot. Why give him any more attention. Seinfeld is over...he can live off the cash forever and never have to be seen again. Except of course during pilot season when his new show every year only last 2 episodes before its cancelled!! This guy is garbage!!!

35. Wearing a turban does not make you a terrorist. It's a religious head dress. You should all be ashamed of yourself. That would be like someone calling a pap a whore for wearing a cross since most Christians seem to have no problem showing off their vaginas.

38. Aww wow. Look at the devils praising the racist rant. You cant get any more evil than to prise someone for using racist language. but alas, that is why I love TMZ. There are very few places on the internet I need to go to expose white bigotry. But than God for TMZ, where anonymous white bigots just let it fly. Not only does TMZ show Garrett being a typical bigot, it allows other typical bigots to post their favor of his typical bigotry!

You people prove everyday why my grandfather called you blue eyed devils!

39. It's a shame Garrett didn't have an fully automatic rifle and didn't take out the whole group of parasitic scum

40. It's so sad to see something like race divide people when there's so many problems in the world. The U.K. should be doing way more to address the Millennium Development Goals. The plan to end world hunger has been getting seriously ignored.

$30 billion: Annual shortfall to end world hunger.

$550 billion: U.S. Defense budget.

42. Way to go Brad. The only thing that would have made it better is if he'd slapped the gold lame Ed Hardy shirt off the pap's little douchey back.

44. Is Brad Garrett retarded??? No really. When he talks he sounds like he has cerebral palsy. How did he ever get into acting????
