REVEALED: Nets star Kevin Durant unleashed a vile, homophobic rant at actor Michael Rapaport on Instagram, referencing the diehard NBA fan’s wife and threatening to spit on him

Actor and podcaster Michael Rapaport has revealed a private war of words with Kevin Durant over social media in which the Brooklyn Nets star appears to have used a string of homophobic slurs while threatening to spit on the diehard 51-year-old New York sports fan.

‘I heard it all before u c***,’ read one of the messages from Durant’s Instagram account to Rapaport’s. ‘I swear ima spit in your face when I see your dirty ass.

‘Meet me on w 17th tomorrow at 10. Or better yet. What’s your address?’

‘All u do is c*** suck other men for attention.’

‘Your wife doesn’t even respect your b**** a**.’

Durant has apologized for the vulgar rant that Rapaport revealed in a series of screen grabs on Twitter, although in his next response, the former NBA MVP appeared dismiss the exchange as friendly banter.

‘I WOULD NEVER FIGHT MIKE,’ Durant replied on Instagram, adding ‘my bad I apologize.’

Durant then went on to write: ‘Wow u acting brand new now?? We been talking like this for years and u get serious today. Wowww. Smhhh.’

The 32-year-old forward and two-time NBA champion could be subject to discipline by the NBA. Other players, such as Rajon Rondo and the late Kobe Bryant, have been fined for using homophobic slurs.

The conversation was revealed by Rapaport in a tweet on Tuesday afternoon.

‘I receive threats and disgusting messages DAILY, but never in my wildest dreams did I think (Kevin Durant) would be among them,’ Rapaport tweeted while posting grabs of his exchange with Durant. ‘The [snake emoji] himself is now threatening me, bringing up my wife and wants to fight. This is supposed to be America’s sweetheart right?’

Judging by the screen shots, the exchange appears to have begun in December after Durant had an awkward post-game interview with TNT’s analyst and former NBA star Charles Barkley.

‘KD seemed deeply in his feelings with the (TNT) crew after the game,’ Rapaport tweeted at the time. ‘DAMNIT he’s super sensitive about everything. Don’t do the interview.’

In a private direct message, Durant, or someone using his account, responded with a grab of Rapaport’s tweet and a few choice words for the actor, like ‘b****,’ ‘p****,’ and ‘piece of s***.’

Durant went on to threaten Rapaport with homophobic slurs and calls to fight outside of a steakhouse in the Manhattan neighborhood of Chelsea.

Rapaport the told Durant to go ‘help kids in Brownsville, Brooklyn & stop being a f***ing Puzz.’
