Liam Neeson is not racist: Michelle Rodriguez

Actress Michelle Rodriguez has defended actor Liam Neeson, who came under fire earlier this week for admitting that he once wanted to kill a black person for revenge, saying he is not racist. In an interview to Vanity Fair, Neeson’s “Widows” co-star Rodriguez said Neeson can’t be racist because he “made out with a black person”.

“It’s all (expletive). Liam Neeson is not a racist. Dude, have you watched ‘Widows’? His tongue was so far down Viola Davis’ throat. You can’t call him a racist, ever. “ Racists don’t make out with the race that they hate, especially in the way he does with his tongue - so deep down her throat.

I don’t care how good of an actor you are. It’s all (expletive). Ignore it. He’s a loving man,” Usatoday.com quoted Rodriguez as saying. During the promotions of his upcoming film “Cold Pursuit” a few days ago, Neeson made a controversial statement.
