A year or so after an altercation with a crazed fan outside a WWE event that was caught on tape, WWE Unified Tag Team Champion Chris Jericho is the talk of the 'net yet again.

Jericho was at the Sacramento Horror Film Festival a few weeks back for a movie premiere for a film in which he had a small part in. During the Q & A session, Jericho used the word "Hadji" when referring to the moderator. Hadiji is a racial slur used toward people of Middle Eastern decent.

After Jericho had used the word Hadji several times, the moderator (playing along with Jericho's jokes the entire time) grabbed Jericho's drink to sniff it for alcohol. Jericho replied with, "it's apple juice ... fag."

The story first came to light on TMZ.com. After the story and video were posted by TMZ.com, Jericho had this to say to the infamous tabloid.

"After seeing the video I realize some inappropriate comments were made and I apologize if I offended anybody." Jericho continues, "Just know that everyone on stage was having a blast and we all shared a drink and a laugh after! The good news is I got my wish of being posted on TMZ."

You can be the judge of the controversy by watching the video at TMZ.com.
