Actor Michael Rapaport posted screenshots of a private conversation between him and Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant on Tuesday, and now KD is apologizing for his action. In the exchange, Durant uttered several homophobic slurs directed at Rapaport after the actor originally called out the NBA star for how he handled an interview on national television.
Durant took to Twitter later on Tuesday to apologize to Rapaport for his actions.
According to the screenshots, the situation began in December following the Nets' season-opening win over the Golden State Warriors. The only timestamp on the conversation is Dec. 23, 2020, which was when the conversation began. It's unclear when the conversation ramped back up prior to Rapaport posting the screenshots.
It all started when "The NBA on TNT" crew mocked Durant for his low-key demeanor when an interview with Charles Barkley wrapped up.
