Entourage creator Doug Ellin has promised to address the homophobic and racial slurs that were allegedly made on the set of the hit HBO series after actor Rex Lee complained about bullying.

Lee, the gay Asian actor who plays Lloyd, said crew members "occasionally" made disparaging remarks about him.

Lee told TMZ.com he had been subjected to "insensitive gay jokes" but added, "I try not to let it bother me."

Ellin was "shocked and horrified" to learn of Lee's statements and plans to deal with the issue before filming begins on the seventh season, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.

Ellin said he "will be speaking to everybody before we start filming again in March. It's not something condoned or acceptable."
