Jim Carrey

Jim Carrey didn't hold back in an interview with "CBS Mornings," further saying Will Smith should be arrested and sued for the assault at the Oscars.

At the time, he notably left out Rock’s name, but he has since issued a formal apology. It cast a pall over everybody’s shining moment,” the “Liar Liar” star declared. “It was such a selfish moment that cast a pall over the whole thing.” “That insult is gonna last a very long time,” he continued. “I was sickened. Smith scooped the Best Actor Oscar for his role in “King Richard” just minutes after assaulting Rock, with the crowd getting out of their seats to cheer for the star.

If Carrey were in Chris Rock's position, he'd be “suing Will for $200 million,” the actor told CBS's Gayle King.

As the Academy begins formally reviewing the incident, with possible ramifications for Smith, the King Richard star issued an apology to Rock. “Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.” If you want to yell from the audience and show disapproval or say something on Twitter…[but] you do not have the right to walk up onstage and smack somebody in the face because they said words.” It cast a pall over everybody’s shining moment…it was just a selfish moment.” Jim Carrey has lent his voice to the cacophony of takes, telling CBS’s Gayle King that he did not approve of the Oscars audience applauding Smith after his best-actor acceptance speech, which came less than an hour after Smith slapped Chris Rock. “I was sickened by the standing ovation,” Carrey added. “Hollywood is just spineless en masse, and it really felt like it was a clear indication that we aren’t the cool club anymore.”

The clip is from the 1997 MTV Movie Awards and it shows a then 35-year-old Carrey seemingly forcing a kiss on the then 19-year-old Silverstone.
