Bill Maher Stunned as Actor Michael Rapaport Tells Him How Unsafe NYC Feels
EXCERPT:
RAPAPORT: “I want people to feel safe in New York City. You know, I want my wife to feel safe. My wife is a tough broad — she doesn’t feel safe in Midtown Manhattan during the day.”
MAHER: “Really?”
RAPAPORT: “Yeah. And my wife —”
MAHER: “Really? “
RAPAPORT: “— she’s — she’s not —”
MAHER: “Like — like going out for lunch?”
RAPAPORT: “I’m not saying she’s like f***ing shaking in her boots, but my wife in the last two, three years has been groped in Times Square, has had a f***ing shoe thrown at her, has been called the N-word, and got proposed to on the train by a homeless person, all between 11 A.M. and 3 P.M. And when my wife got touched in the middle of the day coming out of a play — I’m not happy with that. And it was like a homeless person. Like, I don’t care that you’re homeless. Don’t touch my f***ing wife. You know what I mean? And I — like it bothered me so deeply that this happened to her and that she’s got a shoe thrown at her.”
MAHER: “Why a shoe?”
RAPAPORT: “Because a crazy person.”
MAHER: “Just crazy.”
