Apparently, some racist nutjob has targeted Taye Diggs (news) and his wife, Wicked star Idina Menzel (news).
New York City police have launched a probe to find out who sent three letters to the actors, threatening them because of their interracial marriage.
One of the letters, sent to the League of American Theaters and Producers Wednesday, warned Diggs he faces "bodily harm," according to New York's Newsday. The letter writer vowed to "burn" and "castrate" the African-American actor for marrying Menzel. The person also threatened to burn down the Gershwin Theater, where Menzel currently headlines the hit musical Wicked.
"The letters go on and on about their marriage," an unnamed officer of the NYPD Hate Crimes Unit, which is leading the investigation, tells Newsday. "They say they're each a sellout to their race." |
