Jim Carrey has been blasted when footage resurfaced of him “forcibly kissing” Alicia Silverstone at an awards show after he criticised Will Smith over the Oscars slap. The comedian, 60, grabbed the actress and kissed her on the mouth as he accepted an award for Best Comedic Performance at the MTV Movie Awards in 1997. Social media critics have branded the actor a “hypocrite” after the star said Will Smith should have been arrested for slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars.
Hollywood doing what it does best. Acting on cue. Leave it to the illiterati's selective arousal-rage to omit the fact Jim Carrey once forcefully kissed a then-21-year-old Alicia Silverstone on MTV in order to dogpile on Will Smith.

“It cast a shadow over everyone’s shining moment last night… It was a selfish moment. ”He continued: “I’d have announced this morning that I was suing Will for $200m because that video is going to be there forever; it’s going to be ubiquitous. ”Since making the comments, the video where Carrey accepted an award an MTV show in the 1997 began circulating on Twitter.
In the clip, Carrey took to the stage to accept a gong for his performance in The Cable Guy before he grabbed presenter Alicia Silverstone and kissed her on the lips. Carrey was 35-years-old at the time while Alicia was 20. He apologised to a “humiliated” Silverstone backstage, it was reported at the time.
