JUNO SHOW-WRITER / FRIEND OF RUSSELL PETER'S SPEAKS OUT...
Sadly, Russell Peters has NOT apologized yet for his comments towards an 11-year-old boy during the 2008 Juno Awards... I contacted Russell's reps. yesterday and they had no comment on the situation... CLICK HERE to read about what happened..
However, Juno show-writer / a friend of Russell's, Trevor Boris did come forward with a statement on what happened...
"As one of the writers of the Juno Awards, and a close friend of Russell Peters (I'm also openly gay), I know that Russell Peters did NOT mean any harm by his 'flamer' comment to the young boy in the crowd during the show, and felt bad afterwards. What happened was that he was asked to 'stretch' for a minute as the show was light at the time, and was put in the crowd to chat with some fans. He made a 'flamer' reference to a guy wearing a shirt with flames all over it, then talked to a young boy in the crowd, and after having some fun with him, he asked since he was so young if he even liked girls yet. Well, the kid said 'no'. I don't think Russell was expecting that and as almost any comic would've done in that position made a call back to the 'flamer' joke.. He did not mean to hurt his feelings, and it was not in the script. It just came out."
He was on the Radio yesterday afternoon on the station Vibe 98.5 and did say he was sorry on the program.
