Seinfeld alum Michael Richards let loose a slur of racial epithets while doing stand-up at a comedy club in West Hollywood this weekend. The tirade reportedly began after Richards was heckled by two black audience members. He reacted by ribbing the men for interrupting his routine with racial slurs and profanities, while the crowd could be heard gasping, saying "Oh my God" and "Ooh." The Kramer actor refused to comment on camera, but CNN reported that he said off-camera that he was sorry for what had happened and had made amends. In a statement released about the incident, Jerry Seinfeld said, "I am sick over this. I'm sure Michael is also sick over this horrible, horrible mistake. It is so extremely offensive. I feel terrible for all the people who have been hurt."source, source
