Emma Stone Denies Calling Jimmy Kimmel a ‘Pr
*’ After Oscars Joke**Actress Emma Stone has denied calling Jimmy Kimmel a derogatory term after he made a joke about her film, ‘Poor Things,’ at the Oscars. Stone, who won the Best Actress Oscar for her role in the film, was captured on camera appearing to say something to her husband after Kimmel joked about the film’s frequent sexual depictions.
Fans speculated that Stone had muttered the word ‘pr
*,’ but Stone has denied this, saying, ‘No! I didn’t call him a pr
*.’ She added, ‘What did I say? I didn’t call him a pr***. I wasn’t upset with him at all. I’ll have to look that up.’Stone’s co-star in the black comedy series ‘The Curse,’ Nathan Fielder, added that Stone is ‘always down for a joke’ and unlikely to have reacted negatively to Kimmel’s line. Stone described herself as ‘near-unoffendable.’
Controversy Surrounding ‘Poor Things’
In February, Stone responded to accusations that ‘Poor Things’ is ‘sexist’ and ‘exploitative,’ and that its sex scenes present ‘troubling’ consent issues. In the movie, Bella, who has the brain of an unborn baby put inside her head, goes on a journey of sexual discovery, delighting in her adult body and experiencing her first orgasm.
Some critics have claimed that the film’s male director and male gaze make it sexist. Others have accused the film of exploiting nudity and raising consent issues because Bella has the brain of a child.
Stone has defended the film, arguing that she did not see her character as a child in any of the scenes. She also said that criticism of ‘Poor Things’ is the result of how people consume films these days and cast judgment on social media.
