Friends actor David Schwimmer, who played Dr Ross Geller on the American sitcom has called out rapper Kanye West for sharing anti-Semitic posts on X. David, who is of Jewish descent, urged X owner Elon Musk to ban Kanye from the platform amid his ongoing angry tirades. In his Instagram post, the actor called West a `deranged bigot`.
David pointed out some of Kanye’s posts against the Jewish community and wrote, “We can’t stop a deranged bigot from spewing hate-filled, ignorant bile… but we CAN stop giving him a megaphone, Mr. Musk. Kanye West has 32.7 million followers on your platform, X. That’s twice as many people than the number of Jews in existence. His sick hate speech results in REAL LIFE violence against Jews.”
