Jonah Hill Apologises For Gay Slur Against Paparazzo

Jonah Hill has apologized for using a gay slur with a paparazzo in an encounter caught on video.

A video posted by TMZ shows a photographer pestering Hill, who eventually responded with muttered expletives and an anti-gay expression. On The Howard Stern Show, on June 3, the 30-year-old actor acknowledged that he said “a disgusting word.”

Jonah said the word “does not at all reflect how I feel about any group of people.” He said that he’s been a gay-rights activist “from the day I (Jonah) was born”. (Also Read: Jonah’s Yacht Party)

Earlier this year, Jonah Hill promoted a Human Rights Campaign effort opposing anti-gay laws in Russia ahead of the Winter Olympics.

Hill said he had been harassed by the photographer, claiming he said “hurtful things” about Jonah and his family.
