The actress is one of the latest in a string of celebrities to consider the dramatic moment, which took place after Rock joked about Jada Pinkett Smith’s bald head, referred to as “GI Jane”. In an interview with CBS This Morning on March 29, Carrey expressed his disapproval of how the situation was handled, especially with Smith still winning Best Actor for King Richard shortly after. “I was sick of standing ovation. “Hollywood is just backless and I really felt that this is a really clear sign that we are no longer the cool club,” said Carrey. The host, Gale King, further argued: “If anyone else had walked away from the audience and done so, they would have been escorted by security or perhaps arrested.” In which Carey interrupted: “It should have been.” When King referred to Rock’s refusal to prosecute, Carrey said: “I would have announced this morning that I would sue Will for $ 200 million because this video will be there forever.” (Getty Images) He added: “If you want to shout from the audience and show disapproval or say something on Twitter, you do not have the right to go on stage and hit someone in the face” because they said words “. King then suggested that the incident “escalate”, making Carrey intervene: “It did not escalate, it came out of nowhere because Will has something going on inside him that is frustrating. “I have nothing against Will Smith. He has done great things. But this was not a good time. He threw a weight on everyone’s bright moment “. Although there has been no punishment for Smith so far, the Academy said it could discipline him for the incident. Smith has since apologized to Rock, but the comedian has not yet publicly acknowledged it. Find the full list of 2022 Oscar winners here.
