Terrell Owens Was Recipient of Racial Tirade During Altercation [Video]

The man who claimed Terrell Owens threw a hot cup of coffee at him was captured on camera hurling racist insults at the former NFL star. A portion of the video obtained by TMZ shows the the alleged victim, Arman, calling Owens a a “f—ing knuckle-running, spear-chucking, monkey-ass looking motherf—er.”

Owens told TMZ that Arman confronted him inside a Starbucks and threw a cup of liquid in his direction outside the building. Owens then admittedly retaliated by throwing his own empty cup.

Arman, who initially denied using any racial epitaphs, tells another story. He denies throwing a cup and says Owens kicked him inside the Starbucks.

When confronted with the video, Armen offered this explanation:

"…he said he never put an “r” at the end … “I use that word and it’s very much accepted in the black community.” When we told Arman that we hear him say, “f***ing knuckle-running, spear-chucking, monkey-ass looking motherf*****,” he said, he was “purposefully racist,” adding, “I just wanted to make him mad and sad. I’m Middle Eastern and Muslim and not KKK.” Arman, who denied throwing a cup at T.O., said, “There’s freedom of speech but there’s not freedom of attack. He kicked me in the Starbucks.”"

In less controversial news, Owens is among the first-yeah Football Hall of Fame nominees.
