Jim Carrey made clear he believes that Will Smith slapping Chris Rock during Sunday’s Oscars not only did irreparable damage to his legacy, but to the entire Hollywood industry.
In a recent CBS Mornings interview with Gayle King to promote Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Carrey said Smith should be facing far greater consequences for slapping Rock after the comic made a joke about his spouse, Jada Pinkett Smith.
Not only was Smith not ejected from the event, but he got a standing ovation shortly thereafter when he won best actor for King Richard. Smith issued an apology on social media Monday. Rock has yet to publicly address the matter. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will conduct a formal review.
