VIDEO: Chris Jericho Uses Racial Slurs at a Film Festival

November 5, 2009

Thanks to Joni VanVoltenburg for sending this in: Two weeks ago, WWE star Chris Jericho attended the Sacramento Film Festival to promote a screening of his latest film, and during a Q and A session following the screening, TMZ cameras picked up some shots of him making a few racial slurs to the two guys hosting the Q and A. Below is an excerpt from the TMZ article:

"Jericho was at the Sacramento Horror Film Festival two weeks ago … for a screening of a movie in which he appears. During a Q&A session, Jericho referred to the moderator several times as "Hadji" — a term sometimes used as a racial slur against Middle Easterners.

After the first wave of slurs — and a random shot at Paris Hilton — the host jokingly takes Jericho’s drink to sniff it for booze, when Chris chimes back, "it’s apple juice … fag."
