Michael Rapaport Shares Homophobic, Misogynistic DMs from Kevin Durant
Actor Michael Rapaport posted screenshots Tuesday of a conversation between himself and Kevin Durant, in which the Brooklyn Nets star used homophobic, misogynistic and profane language toward the actor:
The Instagram DM thread, which dates back to last year, shows Durant was apparently angered by things that Rapaport had said about him.
Durant seemed to confirm the DMs are legitimate in a tweet and apologized in Rapaport's Instagram comments:
The messages may catch the attention of the NBA as the league has previously fined and/or suspended players, including Kobe Bryant and Rajon Rondo, for using anti-gay slurs on the court.
Durant's tweet claimed he and Rapaport have a back-and-forth relationship, but the screenshots provided by the actor didn't show many of his own comments.
Durant's social media presence has been the subject of attention since he was caught using burner Twitter accounts to defend himself in 2017.
