Comedian D.L. Hughley recently got into some hot water for his comments about Caitlyn Jenner in which he said that she was not beautiful and compared her to Mrs. Doubtfire.
During an appearance on The View, Hughly doubled down on his remarks, saying, “Let me tell you something: When I see Serena, I want to have sex with her. When I see Caitlyn Jenner, I hope we don’t get into a fight.”
He went on to address the comparison that really got him in trouble: “She does look like Mrs. Doubtfire!”
“Here’s the thing,” he said. “Here’s what I don’t understand. I said basically that she didn’t look … like, Laverne Cox, from Orange is the New Black, she went all out. She’s beautiful. She got the premium package.”
He went on to explain that he was not scared of his critics on Twitter and then explained, “I was not attacking transgender people at all. My assessment was about a particular person. One person.”
He then went on, “The average American male lives to be 72. Caitlyn made that change at 65. Some people think that’s brave. I think doing something with seven years of life left is a bucket list.”
“It’s insulting to me that we can have … I can see the world the way I do and not assault the way you see it, but no one has the right to kind of bully you into seeing the world the way they do.”
