Actor Russell Crowe's altercation in a London restaurant started after he made racist remarks about the New Zealand Warriors rugby league team, it was claimed yesterday.
And the Sydney-based Oscar winner faced more trouble last night after allegations from a fellow guest at the Japanese eatery that his behaviour had been "despicable".
Georgie Calder, 21, claimed the star had been acting "like a total and utter pig" moments before violence erupted at the trendy Zuma Japanese restaurant last week.
Crowe, an ardent supporter of South Sydney rugby league club, described the Warriors as "a bunch of coconuts" or "darkies", according to The New Zealand Herald.
"It was about the skin tone, he was calling them coconuts or darkies," an insider told the Auckland-based newspaper.
Can we talk about why these types of articles always have the Black woman in some weird pose with a scrunched up or angry face and the White girl/guy in a normal pose? They pulled that with Taylor/Nicki too.
!!!!!! NOBODY is saying Azealia is innocent but i do believe he called her the n word and assaulted her

RZA came on "TMZ Live" and told us ... Russell did indeed spit at Azealia like she claims, but he didn't choke her ... nor did he hurl the n-word. He also said she was out of control and violent ... and hinted she was wasted.
RZA says he told cops the same story he told us. Azealia has filed a battery report with the BHPD.

Because white people rather click on a story that portrays an "angry black woman"
