However, the actor’s victory was overcast as just minutes prior to the win, the 53-year-old walked on stage and slapped comedian Chris Rock.Reacting to the viral moment, Jim Carrey told CBS’s Gayle King that he was “sickened” by Will Smith receiving a standing ovation. He continued:“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.”Jim Carrey also opined that Will Smith “should’ve been” escorted out of the ceremony following the moment he slapped Chris Rock. He continued:“I’d have announced this morning that I was suing Will for $200 million because that video is going to be there forever, it’s going to be ubiquitous. That insult is gonna last a very long time." He further said:"If you want to yell from the audience and show disapproval or say something on Twitter [that’s fine]. But you do not have the right to walk up on stage and smack somebody in the face because they said words.”Carrey concluded by saying that Will Smith “has something going on inside him that’s frustrated.” He added that the now viral Oscars moment “was not a good moment. It cast a shadow over everyone’s shining moment last night… It was a selfish moment.”Video of Jim Carrey assaulting Alicia Silverstone on-stage goes viral on social mediaIn light of Jim Carrey's strong stance against Will Smith following the mishap at Oscars 2022, his non-consentual kiss with Alicia Silverstone has fanned flames against him.Ham on Wry@RealHamOnWryHollywood doing what it does best.
