Jim Carrey is the latest celebrity to come under fire after weighing in on Will Smith's assault on Chris Rock during the Academy Awards on Sunday evening - as two 1997 videos resurfaced in which he is seen 'sexually assaulting' a then-20-year-old Alicia Silverstone at an awards show, before 'forcibly' trying to kiss Smith at the same event.
The actor, now 60, furiously criticized the celebrity audience at the Oscars for giving Smith a standing ovation following his Best Actor win, just minutes after he slapped Rock on-stage in response to a joke the comedian made about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith's alopecia.
Carrey, who announced on Thursday night that he is 'probably retiring', claimed he was 'sickened' by the round of applause for Will and insists he should have been escorted out - however fans have been quick to slam him as a 'hypocrite' while bringing back to light a video of him 'sexually assaulting' Silverstone at the 1997 MTV Movie Awards.
Resurfaced footage from the awards ceremony shows a then-35-year-old Carrey walking up to the stage to collect an award from Silverstone, only to grab her by the head and 'forcibly' pull her into a kiss while she tried to push him off her.
During the same 1997 ceremony, Carrey was also seen trying to kiss Smith after he was announced as the winner of the award for Best Kiss. As Smith, who was 28 at the time, prepared to make his way up on-stage, Carrey was seen grabbing him by the neck and sticking his tongue out towards his face, while the actor tried to shove him away.
The two resurfaced clips are now doing the rounds on Twitter, where users have branded Carrey a 'hypocrite' for condemning Smith's actions, despite having himself 'assaulted' both the

Jim Carrey is a horrible horrible individual.
Looks like Jim’s own antics circled back, on him.
Jim Carrey is an insane crazed freak. Lucky for him the mentally ill are left on the streets now.
“LET ME SHOW YOU SOMETHING!”
Carrey is a certifiably insane loony…like the rest of that crowd…
Sexual assault my rear.
And have you seen the stories that John Wayne tried to assault Little Flower or whatever her name was, when she accepted the award for Marlin Brando- based on her claim at the time that she looked into the audience and saw 6 security guards restraining Wayne as he tried to get to the stage.
Left = BS
Comedy is dead.
They are all useless eaters.
He was a useless, talentless want to be actor. He acted as a nut case and he actually belongs in an institution. He is a sick one!
Jailed? Jim Carrey was clowning around. Alicia was laughing it off and people were cheering at the time.
Not the same as angrily slapping someone. Of course exaggeration and hyperbole are in style these days.
Such a shame. As much as I can't stand his politics, he is a brilliant comedian and underrated actor though.
Woke catfight, moar popcorn.
Your observation is 100% correct.
I read about that in Marlon Brando’s autobio.
For those who are unfamiliar with what you’re speaking of, John Wayne was furious about Little Flower about to make some very un-American remarks at the Oscar Ceremony. That’s what he was upset about. John Wayne did not try to “sexually” assualt her.
**Williams, I know that’s not what you said in the first place, but considering what this Jim Carrey article is all about, I just wanted to clarify The Duke’s intent.
I posted this article solely for the top picture. That looks so damn ridiculous. haha
I don’t believe Wayne was seriously restrained by 6 security guards at the Oscars, despite what she said.
Jim Carrey is insane but there are roles no one else but only Jim Carrey could do
Carrey as Andy Kaufman as Elvis
