Whoopi Goldberg defended him today on The View and Chevy has apologized.Multiple sources confirm to TVLine that Chevy Chase dropped the N-word on the set of the NBC comedy Friday afternoon in the presence of his African-American co-stars Yvette Nicole Brown and Donald Glover. According to an insider, the acting vet was struggling with his character’s dialogue and, in a moment of frustration, uttered the racial epithet. The slur was not directed at Brown and Glover specifically, maintains another source close to the production, who adds that Chase has grown increasingly unhappy with the dark direction of his character, the bigoted Pierce Hawthorne. But it nonetheless caused enough of a stir to briefly interrupt production. Chase eventually summoned the cast and crew together to issue a formal apology.

"I watched him (Clinton) charm my wife one night. He'd just had (quadruple-bypass) surgery and we were at a fundraiser in Hollywood. She asked him how was he was feeling, and he started explaining the whole procedure to her and how his life had changed. And he was holding her hand and kind of rubbing her upper arm. And she was mesmerised! As soon as I left, I was like, 'So, you want to go home with him now or what?' She's like, 'He had me. I was done. I get it now.' He just rocked her."
