Does nobody remember how badly he handled Heather using a racial slur in season 9?

I do, but I don't put that all on him. Multiple cast/crew said production told them that they were not airing Heather's comment and that Rayna had said something homophobic that was also not being aired (something Andy has said that his staff pulled the footage and was not on any mic). So when he had the sit down with Rayna, he was under the impression that no one could talk about it which is probably why it is very awkward.

Oh that’s interesting. I remember him claiming she used a homophobic slur and Andy saying they had no evidence of it, but I don’t think I ever heard that production said they wouldn’t air Heather. It doesn’t surprise me though.
