On Sunday, Matt Damon became the poster child for Hollywood's lack of diversity after a tense exchange on HBO's Project Greenlight with the African American filmmaker Effie Brown.
On Wednesday, Damon apologized for his comments, saying in a statement that he was "sorry that they offended some people."
During the show, Damon appeared to disregard Brown's call for diversity on Project Greenlight, which offers filmmakers a chance to direct a $3 million feature film.
Brown advised a group of white film makers to be cautious of which director to select because "the only black person" in the film they're producing is "a hooker who gets hit by her white pimp," and suggested that a woman and an Asian man take on the script,
Damon interrupted and said, "When we're talking about diversity, you do it in the casting of the film, not in the casting of the show."
Brown replied, "Wow."
A hashtag followed ? "#Damonsplaining" ? and the actor was ruthlessly mocked on Twitter.
