Actor Ryan Guzman Defends Use Of Racial Slurs With Friends ‘All The Time’
Ryan Guzman, a model and actor seen in films ‘Step Up‘ and ‘The Boy Next Door,’ and Fox’s ‘9-1-1,’ is under fire and defending his use of racial slurs that he and his friends say “all the time.”
Guzman, who was born in Texas to a father who immigrated from Mexico and a mother from California of European descent, dug himself a deep hole this weekend after defending his fiancee’s use of racial slurs, and confessing to he and his friends’ own use.

While his fiancee, Brazilian actress and model Chrysti Ane, apologized for a resurfaced 2011 tweet, in which she used the N-word, Guzman took to Instagram live, stating, “You telling her that she can’t speak through Twitter to her black friends, that have allowed her to say that back and forth to them, specifically? Mind you, that is a private conversation had on a social platform, I can see the misconstrued insight on that.”
He continued, “That being said, I have plenty of friends — black, white, Asian, Indian, whatever they are, Korean — and we make fun of each other races all the time. We call each other slurs all the time. We don’t get butthurt at all, nah, because we know the actual person, we know who each other are. We know that we’re not trying to bring each other down.”

He then questions, “So, what are y’all trying to get at? You’re trying to prove that somebody that’s not racist is racist? Nah. You don’t have that power. There is no racist energy coming from this household at all.”
Lastly, he tweeted, “I’m done with defending myself or my family to people who are as quick to judge as they are to condemn. Let me get back to the real topic and help out any way I can to the black community.
I’ve already donated to 1 organization.
Heres another. Please help.”
