Michelle Rodriguez defends Liam Neeson: 'You can't call him a racist, ever'

Liam Neeson's "Widows" co-star Michelle Rodriguez is coming to his defense, arguing that he's not racist after he revealed a disturbing revenge story him his past earlier this week.

Rodriguez threw her public support behind Neeson, who has been criticized for an interview published Monday in which he said he once sought revenge for a loved one's rape by searching for a black person to kill.

“It’s all (expletive). Liam Neeson is not a racist,” Rodriguez told Vanity Fair at the amfAR Gala New York on Wednesday night. “Dude, have you watched 'Widows'? His tongue was so far down Viola Davis’s throat. You can’t call him a racist, ever."

She continued: "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."

I can't see what's in Neeson's heart as to whether he's racist or not. However there were many slave holders in the U.S. who raped their slaves. I'm pretty sure they were racist.
