Martin Scrosese’s new flick has ruined an evening out for Shaquille
O’Neal and his wife Shaunie as a result of racist content. Sources told
the New York Post that the couple were out on a date over the weekend.
Their movie of choice was the mob movie, “The Departed,”
starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Wahlberg, Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, Alec Baldwin and Anthony Anderson.
Released in early October, it is a remake of a 2002 Hong Kong
hit film, revolving around a rivalry between the Massachusetts police
force and an Irish-American gang.
It is reported that The Miami Heat star and his wife were in a
theater in South Beach where they reportedly sighed and groaned audibly
and within minutes of the film, when harsh racial epithets began to fly.
“Jack Nicholson said the N-Word in a particularly derogatory manner,” the source told the New York Post.
