Halle Berry’ regrets about her anti-semitic joke
Halle Berry’ regrets about her anti-semitic jokeSource
Halle Berry apologized last night after she made an anti-Semitic joke while taping The Tonight Show with Jay Leno Friday afternoon.
An audience member told Page Six, Halle was showing photos of herself when she said, “Here’s where I look like my Jewish cousin!” and showed a shot of herself with a huge nose.
Halle said, “I so didn’t mean to offend anybody - and after the show I realized it could be seen as offensive, so I asked Jay to take it out, and he did. What happened was I was backstage before the show and I have three girls who are Jewish who work for me. We were going through pictures to see which ones looked silly, and one of my Jewish friends said [of the picture], ‘That could be your Jewish cousin!’ And I guess it was fresh in my mind, and it just came out of my mouth. But I didn’t mean to offend anybody.”
Based on her explanation, I’ve shown my husband (yet again) that there are certain things you can say that others can’t (and everyone knows what I mean) and vice versa.
I guess that if someone Jewish had said this it wouldn’t have been an offensive. However, she has to learn to think before speaking JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. Mainly because she’s on constant public watch , she’s famous, and maybe a role model for lots of us.
