I hear hot-tempered co-star&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.deadline.com\/tag\/chevy-chase\/\">Chevy Chase<\/a>&nbsp;had another outburst, this time featuring the N-word. It appears that the tirade was not addressed at black cast members Donald Glover or Yvette Nicole Brown.<\/p>\n<p>People close to the situation say that Chase had been increasingly frustrated and uncomfortable with the direction of his character, Pierce, who is a bigot. After getting fed more lines he found offensive during a scene yesterday, I hear he snapped and launched the tirade, airing his frustration and suggesting that the way things with Pierce are going, he may next be asked to call Troy (Glover) or Shirley (Brown) the N-word.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Show creator Dan Harmon later told<em>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/magazine\/2018\/03\/05\/donald-glover-cant-save-you\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The New<\/a><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/magazine\/2018\/03\/05\/donald-glover-cant-save-you\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Yorker<\/a>&nbsp;that Chevy Chase would interrupt co-star Donald Glover\u2019s scenes and make racist remarks between takes. \u201cPeople think you\u2019re funnier because you\u2019re Black,\u201d Chase allegedly told Glover.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChevy was the first to realize how immensely gifted Donald was, and the way he expressed his jealousy was to try to throw Donald off,\u201d said Harmon. \u201cI remember apologizing to Donald after a particularly rough night of Chevy\u2019s non-P.C. verbiage, and Donald said, \u2018I don\u2019t even worry about it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Glover said Chevy Chase picked a fight with him and that \u201ca true artist has to be OK with his reign being over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t help him if he\u2019s thrashing in the water. But I know there\u2019s a human in there somewhere \u2014 he\u2019s almost too human,\u201d Glover said.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, Chase sparked Pete Davidson\u2019s ire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2018\/09\/26\/pete-davidson-says-chevy-chase-is-racist-after-he-called-snl-the-worst-fcking-humor\/\">when he said<\/a> that <em>Saturday Night Live<\/em> is the \u201cworst fucking humor in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to put down Lorne or the cast, but I\u2019ll just say, maybe off the record, I\u2019m amazed that Lorne has gone so low. I had to watch a little of it, and I just couldn\u2019t fucking believe it,\u201d said Chase.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Pete Davidson called Chase a \u201cracist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFuck Chevy Chase.
