Brad Garrett's Racist Taunts
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.
Him and the pap are yelling at each other and being held back BG says "IN ENGLISH" then repeats "WEAR THE TURBAN WEAR THE TURBAN" a couple of times.

I doubt there is a photographer out there big enough to take Brad on.
I believe he’s an obama supporter as well.
Raymond Raymond Raymond...
Its all about you isn’t it?
“Wear the turban”. and this means?..............
In his defense it seems that he was just reminding a person to observe their religious beliefs. It shows his a good caring liberal. (I have not seen or care to see the video)
Brad is an O supporter?
I doubt Ray Romano is. Ray seems like a decent guy and is a big golfer. His wife on the show is a conservative.
My guess is, if Ray is a decent guy, that most of the people who were on that show are set for life due to syndication rights.
How is “wear the turban” a racist taunt?
If he apologizes...Ugh! I mean really what he said is not racial. He has a show that has been on five years or so. I don’t like the show but Everyone loves Raymond will be what he is remembered for...Poor guy. I aboslutely hated that show.
What race are turban wearers?
I guess TMZ thinks its racist, it could have been entirely innocent.
He was taunted repeatedly by several people out of sight of the camera. He shouldn’t have taken the bait. :(
He’s no Kosmo....
I think the comment is more anti-genie.
I’m sorry I can’t remember now what I heard him say or when - thinking it was during the election and was either a Bush bashing or something - it made no secret of who he supported. I instantly put him on my gag list...folks who gag me.
Garret should have just shrugged it off, but some foriegn jerk calling me “racist” would have pissed me off, too. The next video, of the ex-CSI has-been attacking a cameraman was definitely a “call the cops” moment.
Brad got a free ride off Ray’s talent. I liked the wife but the rest of the cast were useless. Peter Boyle was okay at times. The mother Doris roberts is annoying.
He is a big time Palin hater/mocker - and can KMA.
I didn’t hear him say “Wear the turban”, and he did seem calm, cool and collected. The photographers however, were doing their darndest to provoke him. He did smack the camera pretty good but he did maintain his cool throughout.
My decision? The photographers are guilty of being asses. Quit your whining, losers. Next case?....
