Halle Sorry for Jewish Joke

Gina SerpeTue Oct 23, 12:47 PM ET



When it comes to becoming the next Mel Gibson, Halle Berry may have missed it by a nose.
The Oscar-winning actress has issued a public mea culpa for a quip made on The Tonight Show Friday, in which she joked that a photograph making her nose look unusually large could pass for a picture of "my Jewish cousin."
While making the requisite small talk with host Jay Leno, Berry pulled out pictures she had taken of herself on her computer through Apple's Photo Booth software.
"The machine morphs your face to look like all these silly other people," she said. "Whenever I'm feeling really bad about the world I do this to crack myself up."
In introducing the first picture from the batch, in which her nose was vastly distorted, Berry said, "This one, I don't know, this is like my Jewish cousin."
The full remark never made it on air, however. The audience's silence at the attempted joke was covered with a laugh track and the word Jewish was muted out.
Leno's reaction, though, was not.
"I'm glad you said it and not me," he said.
Berry, however, appeared to realize her gaffe immediately.
"Oh, my God, have I just, like, ruined my whole career?" she asked, before going through the rest of her photo presentation.
The pregnant 41-year-old said Tuesday that the comment was not intended to be anti-Semitic and that she requested Leno have it removed from the show.
"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," she said.
Berry also said one of her assistants, who happens to be Jewish, actually made the joke just before the actress went on.
"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, '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. I didn't mean any harm.
"It was just supposed to be a silly segment. I am so sorry, and I apologize."


So when was the last time you said something you wished you could take back as soon as you said it?

Okay, my mom is a school teacher so, whenever i come up there to visit she likes to take me around to meet the other teachers that work in the building, so long story short, she introduced me to this one teacher who taught Visually Impaired children, so of course the teacher announced me to the class, after a lengthy conversation with them, i had to return to work, so as i was leaving i waved my hand and said "I would see them all later"...:icon_tomato:

I felt like such an asshole and everyone was quiet as fuck, so i just walked out :icon_sad:
