Jim Carrey Found Will Smith Slapping Chris Rock At The Oscars ‘Sickening’

Jim Carrey Found Will Smith Slapping Chris Rock At The Oscars ‘Sickening’

I don’t know about you but all I have heard about (and have been able to talk about), since the past 2 days are the Oscars. What an unforgettable year! History was made and it is safe to say that this was a big year for women in Hollywood. But let’s be fair, while we’re all here for the achievements, brilliant cinema and the overall appreciation of the arts, we’re just as much here for the drama that celebrities provide us with. One of the most iconic Academy awards 2022 moments this year has to be Will Smith storming on stage and slapping Chris Rock for making fun of his wife, Jada Pinket Smith’s shaved head. Jim Carrey has commented on the same.

The jury is still out on who’s in the wrong here. While many have sided with Will saying that Chris had it coming considering it was insensitive of him to crack a joke over Jada’s hair when she’s been vocal about her struggle with alopecia, many say that what Will did was uncalled for and that he should know how to take a joke. Actor Jim Carrey seems to fall in the latter category as he has commented upon what happened and said that he was ‘sickened’ by it.

In his CBS morning appearance, Jim Carrey talked about the incident that transpired between the will and Chris. He said the slap sickened him and he was also sickened by standing ovation by the standing ovation that followed. He further said that it seemed as though Hollywood is spineless en masse. Sources say that he additionally claimed that this is an indication that they are “not the cool club anymore.”

As you must be aware, Jim Carrey is a comedian himself and has managed to upset quite a few people during his extensive career. Remember when people were upset over his impersonification of Joe Biden on SNL? As a comedian himself, he is aware of how ill-received certain jokes can be. He also recently teamed up with Rock to honour the passing of Bob Saget.
