The actor, who has his own controversial history when it comes to promoting anti-vaccine views, said that Will Smith “should have been” escorted out of the room and arrested on the spot
During an interview withsequel, Carrey pulled no metaphorical punches when sharing his reaction to the moment that everyone can’t stop talking about.
“I was sickened by the standing ovation,” Carrey said. “I felt like Hollywood is just spineless, en masse, and it really felt like this is a really clear indication that we aren’t the cool club anymore.”, went on to say that Smith “should have been” escorted out of the room and arrested on the spot.
“That insult is going to last a very long time,” he continued, saying there were other ways for Smith to “show disapproval” of Rock’s joke. “But you do not have the right to walk up on stage and smack somebody in the face because they said words.” And when Gayle King described the situation as something that “escalated” to violence, Carrey pushed back. “It didn’t escalate, it came out of nowhere!” he replied. “Because Will has something going on inside him that’s frustrated. And I wish him the best, I really do. I don’t have anything against Will Smith. He’s done great things, but that was not a good moment. It cast a pall over everyone’s shining moment last night.
