Kirk Cameron Allegedly Said ‘God Hates F*gs’ on Video, Rotten Tomatoes Rating Fix Backfires
A company called Deeper Understanding edited a video starring Kirk Cameron to make it look like he said "God hates f*gs," reports TMZ.
The video, which was filmed 15-20 years ago, shows Cameron driving in a car and talking to a friend about how revolting it was that the right wing of the church would say such a thing.
TMZ spoke with a Deeper Understanding representative who acknowledged the editing was deceptive, yet justified the video saying that is how Cameron really feels.
Living Waters Publications, the Christian company who filmed the original video, told TMZ they sent a letter demanding Deeper Understanding remove the misleading video from YouTube immediately.
The video has been removed from YouTube.
As if the controversial video allegation was not enough, the "Growing Pains" star recently had a Rotten Tomatoes ratings fix backfire.
Yahoo Movies reports that Cameron noticed the website Rotten Tomatoes, which tracks critic and consumer film ratings, gave his new movie "Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas" a "rotten" score. In an effort to boost the film's positive rating, he asked followers on Facebook to rate the movie and "send the message to all the critics that WE decide what movies we want our families to see!"
Audience ratings on Rotten Tomatoes are open to anyone who signs up for a free account.
You can probably guess what happened next.
Cameron's devoted Facebook followers gave "Saving Christmas" five-star ratings. The audience score was boosted to an impressive 94 percent. But soon, online users outside of Cameron's network noticed the campaign to drive up the movie's rating and signed up to submit their own votes.
"The haters and atheists are coming out of the woodwork, attempting to hammer your good work (they rallied to drop your rating super low)," Cameron wrote in a follow-up Facebook post.
After all the ratings drama, the audience rating for "Saving Christmas" is currently 34 percent.
The critics' rating, unaffected by the commotion, has remained consistent at 8 percent.
