HE to readership: In his remarks this morning to CBS Mornings‘ Gayle King, Jim Carrey said that Chris Rock should sue Will Smith for $200 million because “that insult is going to last forever…it’s going to be ubiquitous.”
If you were Rock, would you sue? You know he’d have an excellent case in civil court. He’d definitely be able to hurt Smith in a nine-figure way, or at least an eight-figure one.
Carrey: “[The slapping incident] cast a pall over everybody’s shining moment last night. A lot of people worked very hard to get to that place, and to have their moment in the sun…it is no mean fear with all the stuff you have to go through when you’re nominated for an Oscar…it’s a gauntlet of devotion that you have to do…and [what happened] was just a selfish moment that cast a pall over the whole thing.”
