“I didn’t say it much. I didn’t explain it very well,” Elliott said, in what was his first public comment since the March 1 podcast. “And I said some things that hurt people and I feel awful about it. The gay community has been amazing to me throughout my career. And I mean all of my career, since before I started in this city. Friends at every level and every job description until today. I’m sorry I hurt any of these friends and someone I loved. and anyone else with the words I used.”

While speaking with Maron on the podcast, Elliott described dog power As a Western “freak” with “hints of homosexuality”. The veteran actor, who has played a slew of Westerns in his career, has also compared cowboy characters to Chippendale dancers who “wear ties and nothing else” and who “run classes and don’t wear shirts.” As for New Zealand-born Campion making an American storyline, he added, “What does this woman know from below about the American West?”
Campion later responded to Elliott’s comments. “I think it’s really unfortunate and sad for him because he really hit the misogyny, xenophobia and homophobia trilogy,” she told Deadline last month. “I don’t like it. I think he was just a bit of a bitch. Plus he’s not a cowboy, he’s an actor.”
at 1883, Elliott plays Shea Brennan, a hardened Civil War vet who leads the Dutton family and a group of European immigrants across the border. Paramount+ will present Elliott for consideration for an Emmy Award in the Outstanding Actor category, while 1883 He will be competing for the Limited Series Award as the drama will not return for a second season.
