Gays Are No Joke on Enterourage

Posted on 21 November 2009 by admin

Even though Arie the super agent regularly taunts his superly flamboyant gay assitant Lloyd in the show Enterourage,  when the cameras stop rolling, show creator Doug Ellin has made it clear that racial or gay slurs will not be tolerated. In a recent TMZ interview, Rex Lee who plays Lloyd on the show “occasionally” make fun of his ethnicity and sexuality on set. Rex added, “I try not to let it bother me.”

After Lee’s admission, the show’s creator Doug Ellin told TMZ he’s “shocked and horrified” to hear about the situation and “will be speaking to everybody before we start filming again in March. It’s not something condoned or acceptable.”

Ellin also told us he already spoke to Lee — and during the convo, Rex re-confirmed that crew members had made “insensitive gay jokes.”

Ellin claims he’s now going to lay down the gauntlet, telling Rex if it happens again, the culprit will be fired.

Ellin should be applauded for attempting to create an environment where intolerance will not be accepted.  Makes you wonder if the screen writers will be getting the same memo…..
