Emma Stone Reacts To Rumor She Called Jimmy Kimmel A ‘Prick’ At The Oscars
HuffPost
The actor was caught inaudibly reacting on camera during the ceremony after Kimmel, who hosted the Oscars, joked about her film “Poor Things.”
Emma Stone is finally addressing her recent viral moment at the Oscars.
The “Poor Things” star is used to being on camera but had no idea she got caught reacting to a joke about it during the ceremony, that her inaudible comment went viral — or led online sleuths to speculate she called host Jimmy Kimmel a “prick” for it.
Stone appeared annoyed after a montage for the Best Picture nominee ended, and Kimmel joked: “Those were all the parts of ‘Poor Things’ that we’re allowed to show on TV.” In an interview Wednesday with The Hollywood Reporter, however, she cleared things up.
“Did he upset me?” Stone asked her interviewer, “The Curse” co-star Nathan Fielder, who clarified that “some people” thought she insulted Kimmel.
“No! I didn’t call him a prick,” she said. “What did I say? I didn’t call him a prick. I wasn’t upset with him at all. I’ll have to look that up.”
