Halle Makes Berry anti-Semitic Nose Joke On Jay Leno
Halle Berry presented her apologies last night after making an anti-Semitic joke while taping “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno Friday afternoon.
Berry brought out pictures of herself that were distorted with Mac’s Photo Booth program.
She showed one picture (above) with a big nose and said:
“‘Here’s where I look like my Jewish cousin!”
An audience member said:
The Oscar-winning star, on the show to promote her movie “Things We Lost in the Fire,” was showing Leno and his audience images of herself on her computer using the Mac program Photo Booth, which distorts images like a carnival fun-house mirror.
According to one audience member, “She introduced the first photo by saying, ‘Here’s where I look like my Jewish cousin!’ – it was a picture of her with a huge, distorted nose. No one laughed, and Jay nervously said, ‘I’m glad you said that and not me.’ When the show aired, they cut out her ‘Jewish’ comment and added a laugh track to the bit.”
Another guest in the audience told us, “If you watch the clip, you can see Halle saying the word ‘Jewish,’ though obviously there is no audio. NBC covered her a – -. Ms. Berry should know how unbelievably inappropriate her comment was . . . She should be ashamed of herself.”
Berry,personally called the media and said sorry also admitted she should have joked on Monica Lewinsky instead.
Let me take the pop corn and watch Berry get burn for saying that.
