In text messages to BuzzFeed News, Stone denied calling Morris O’Kelly a “negro” and said that the word is “far from a slur.”
“There are thousands of people treated unfairly daily, how your number just happened to come up in the lottery, I’m guessing was more than just luck, Roger, right?” O’Kelly asked Stone.
O’Kelly asked Stone to repeat what he said, but the line went silent for several seconds, during which a sigh could be heard. Stone denied using the racial slur in text messages to BuzzFeed News on Sunday, saying, “Mr. O’Kelly needs a good peroxide cleaning of the wax in his ears because at no time did I call him a negro.”
In his statement, Stone claimed that it was O’Kelly’s studio engineer who used “the alleged epitaph " and accused the engineer of cutting off his sound feed.
