He launched the attack after Kanoa spoke out against the possibility of Destiny Church and Vision New Zealand leader Hannah Tamaki appearing on Dancing With The Stars NZ later this year.

During a segment on The Project on Monday night, Kanoa responded to unconfirmed rumours of Hannah's addition to the cast, saying her "xenophobic and homophobic" views are "properly dangerous".

"Please don't bring that stuff to my place of work, to our place of work. And please don't make her a hero in New Zealand's living rooms," Kanoa said.

Jevan's post about Kanoa has been slammed as "despicable, disgusting and disgraceful" online, leaving many social media commentators horrified.

"How do people think like this? Is he well?" one Twitter user asked.
