Tynan made the remarks to a Jewish doctor who was seeking an apartment in his building on Manhattan's East Side. "It was stupid of me to be so callous, and I would never want to hurt anybody's feelings," Tynan told NBC news in New York after the story surfaced. According to NBC the incident happened when the 49-year-old Tynan met a real estate agent who was showing an apartment on his floor to a potential buyer, a Jewish pediatrician from NYU Medical Center. The real estate agent said to the tenor ?Don?t worry they are not Red Sox fans,? according to the apartment-hunter, Dr. Gabrielle Gold-von Simson. To which Tynan replied, "I don?t care about that, as long as they are not Jewish," Gabrielle Gold-von Simson told NBC New York. ?Why is that?? asked a flabbergasted Gold-von Simson of the singer. Tynan replied that Jewish ladies had been looking at the apartment before and they were "scary," according to Gold-von Simson. |
