Jim Carrey is not only speaking out against Will Smith and his actions at The Oscars, but also the celebrities in attendance who seemingly condoned his actions when he attacked Chris Rock.
In a “CBS Mornings” interview with Gayle King, the “Ace Ventura” star said Smith should be facing more serious consequences for slapping Rock after the comedian cracked a joke about Smith’s wife.
After King made a comment that anyone else who pulled that stunt would have been escorted out of the venue or even arrested, Carrey responded, “He should have been.”
Rock has declined to file charges.
“He doesn’t want the hassle,” Carrey said of Rock’s decision. He noted he would have opted for a different approach.
“I’d have announced this morning that I was suing Will for 200 million dollars because that video is going to be there forever. It’s going to be ubiquitous,” Carrey told King. “That insult is gonna last a very long time.”

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on Monday condemned Smith’s behavior, announcing a “formal review” of the incident.
Smith has since issued a public apology. Rock has still not spoken out about the incident.
