New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is under fire after he was captured on video mocking an Asian fan with taunts of "Leslie Chow."
According to TMZ, the oft-injured Gronkowski was hosting a Q&A session with fans in Foxborough on Sunday night at the Bar Louie Restaurant when people started dancing and the veteran NFLer zeroed in on an Asian man sporting his jersey.
Witnesses told the website Gronkowski shouted over the microphone for all to hear "They told me he could only cook fried rice. Not long after, Gronkowski began calling the man "Leslie Chow," the Ken Jeong character from "The Hangover."
TMZ adds at least one of Gronkowski's handlers seemed to immediately realize he may have crossed the line and took to the microphone to remind everyone in the audience that they had signed waivers agreeing to hand over ALL cell phone footage.
It's been a nightmare season for the Patriots when it comes to public relations. Former star tight end Aaron Hernandez remains jailed without bail on first degree murder charges and is also rumored to be a suspect in an unsolved 2012 double-slaying as well as part of an intra-state gun-running ring.
