Sylvester Stallone reportedly got a little testy with photographers who were hot on his trail in Beverly Hills on Thursday, TMZ reports, leading him to allegedly hurl a racial slur, “This [f———g] [n-word] here, this [f——-r]."
The incident occurred as he and a friend were leaving Caffe Roma and were being followed by a group of photographers, TMZ says. While the audio is a little difficult to pick up, Stallone reportedly can clearly be heard using the n-word, TMZ says. A little later in the video, a female photographer can be heard asking Stallone, "Why the racial slurs?"
There were African-American photographers shooting Stallone at the restaurant, but it's not clear if the epithet was directed at them. Stallone’s rep tells TMZ that the actor denies using the slur.
