“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.”
Carrey said that Smith "should have been" escorted from the Dolby Theatre after slapping Rock for making an insensitive joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
