(A P) — Isaac H ayes has quit
“South Park,” where he voices Chef,
saying he can no longer stom ach
its take on religion.
Hayes, w ho has played the la­
d ies' man/school cook in the ani­
m ated Com edy Central satire since
1997, said in a statem ent M onday
that he feels a line has been crossed.
“There is a place in this world for
satire, but there is a time when satire
ends and intolerance and bigotry
tow ards religious beliefs o f others
begins,” the 63-year-old soul singer
and outspoken Scientologist said.
“ Religious beliefs are sacred to
people, and at all tim es should be
respected and honored," he co n ­
tinued. “As a civil rights activist of
the past 40 years. I cannot support
a show that disrespects those b e­
liefs and practices."
“South Park" eo-creator Matt
Stone responded sharply in an in­
terview with The A ssociated Press
M onday, saying, “T his is 1 (X) per­
cent having to do with his faith o f
Scientology... He has no problem
— and h e’s cashed plenty o f checks
— with our show making fun o f
C hristians.”
Last N ovem ber, “ South Park"
Isaac Hayes
targeted the Church of Scientology
and its celebrity followers, includ­
ing actors Tom Cruise and John
T ravolta, in a top-rated episode
called “T rapped in the C loset." In
the episode, Stan, one o f the show 's
four m ischievous fourth graders, is
hailed as a reluctant savior by
Scientology leaders, while a car­
toon Cruise locks him selfinacloset
and w o n ’t com e out.
Stone told The AP he and co­
creator Trey Parker "never heard a
peep out o f Isaac in any way until
we did Scientology. He wants a
d ifferen t standard for relig io n s
other than his own. and to me, that
is where intolerance and bigotry
begin.”
