OlderHalle is Berry Sorry About Anti-Semitic Remark
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.”
You can watch Halle’s appearance on Leno here (the anti-Semitic remark was cut out).

#21 haaaaaaaa yah right please save the tears who is running the media today? who is running the White House? and no she is not poor because she is pregnant she is poor that she has to look over her shoulder all the time to see how the jews react about it for little things like that and as I said before she apologised and explained the situation. I’m sure not all the jewish people cry for little things like that but I hate it when they start screaming anti-semetic for every little things…..
God ppl are sensitive if they get affended by a comment like that!
i’m jewish and i think people shuldn’t take this so seriously. this comment doesn’t make her anti-semitic it’s just an unwise comment.
but i saw some comments here like “”Jewish people DO have big noses. And they’re short. Not 100% but for the most part.”” this is a stupid comment! and the man who wrote this is stupid! i don’t have big nose at all! and i’m not short!

And here’s my point. Thanks to all who walked into it. She says something harmless. You cry and whine. People get fed up and really unload on you. That’s how it works. You want to cry? You’ll get something to cry about.
And to the brain dead a hole who mentioned weeding out the anti semites in Washington…are you high? How about doing away with the Israeli lobbiests in Washington!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How come it’s only okay to make fun of the whites and the asians?

# 36 dont speak if you dont now! and clearly you dont know NOTHING
you dont know why it happend and what happend in Israel. you just know what the media. said you dont know how many innocent people (in Israel) was killed and how hars it was for them to stay over a month inside shelters. so think before you say something you dont know at all.
i dont critic you’ im just giving you something to think about.

#39 cmon you know I’m right the media? The mediaaaaaaaaaa how dare you say that the media is always on your side when have you ever heard CNN bad mouth the israelis or other local stations when? I have to go to BBC to read some normal news I understand Israelis had losts also but don’t you dare compare the lost with Lebanese people, you destroy their homes, you destroy their schools, you took away their parents, you took away their kids, by killing them of course, and yet you are trying to explain me something?
Everyone has become so ultra sensitive and politically correct that it’s sickening. With all that is going on in the world and the horrible things that are said and done every day, I do not think people should be so highly offended at an innocent joke. Get over it already and lighten up. Spend your energy and time for issues that truly need to be addressed in this day and age - not your sensitive little egos. LOL Many people are constantly being unjustly hurt in so many serious ways (emotionally and physically) and here people are crying and complaining that their poor little feeling are hurt because of something that was said on a late night comedy show. How do such poor little fragile things make it through a day in the real life? Save your hurt, shock and judgment for real racist issues that need to be seriously looked at and addressed.
*36 how you know all that????? from TV??????
i am from israel and what you write is piece of bullshit and if you want to know Lebanon hurt and kill a lot of innocent people from israel to that were months in shelters
She apologized. That should end the story. She is beautiful by the way, to the person who said she was ugly. Come on!
okay I’m jewish and i’m not offended by this anyone that think its anti-semitic is crazy now don’t get me wrong naturally some people might get offended but i don’t really think its that serious it was a joke her assitant said about it and she repeated it she wasn’t offended when her assitant said that pic made her look jewish she taught it was funny and when she said it she didn’t have any ill-intent thats why she apologized for it cause she don’t want peoples feeling to be hurt so again its really not that serious also its not anti-semtic cause only eastern european jews have big noses I should know I have one lol its not serious people its really not
what plastic surgery? she neva had any plastic surgery and she just repeated what her JEWSIH friend said about her, i don’t think she wanted to insult anyone
Has anyone even read this post in its entirety?

#42 you are the biggrst bull **** well ya what do you expect coming that out of Israel stop whining you are not the victim you are killing so many innocent civilians the only reason you can get away with murder is because America supports you unfortunately.
The phrase anti-semetic is used entirely too loosely. What she said amounts to a white/black/latino what have you joke. If this had been ANY other race no one would be talking about it. NO ONE.
I DONT GET IT ALOT OF JEWISH COMEDIANS MAKE FUN OF ASIANS LOOK LIKE
DON WRINKLES AND OTHERS
BUT THEY NEVER GET SLACK FOR IT
