Gary Oldman Apologizes For Offensive Comments - Do You Call Bullsh*t?
"
Gary Oldman was scheduled to appear on
Jimmy Kimmel Live! before he became a topic of controversy this week for denouncing
Hollywood hypocrisy and political correctness in an interview with
Playboy. But his appearance Wednesday took on new meaning when he ended up issuing a sincere apology to anyone and everyone he offended with his words.
"I said some things that were poorly considered,"
Oldman told
Jimmy Kimmel. "And once I had seen it in print, I could see that it was offensive, insensitive, pernicious and ill-informed."
"
The Anti-Defamation League issued a statement calling his comments about
Jewish people "prejudiced" and the actor responded with an apology to that community. But the apology he made to Kimmel's audience was more broad." *
