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

His tongue makes me gag. That doesn’t look human.
All that happened backstage
I agree. With Hollywood, every big moment becomes an exaggerated myth. Even John Wayne’s height was often exaggerated.
Something snapped in him.
...they go together like peas and carrots.
With most other people you’d look at those pictures and quote Rick James: “cocaine is a hell of a drug”. With Carrey, it’s probably built-in crazy.
He’s a comedian doing what he does. He didn’t smack anyone.
I don’t like any of these people, but this is a silly way to defend Smith, if that’s what this is.
No I haven't but what I have witnessed is that following his death, the leftists tried to destroy him and his legacy in the film industry.
Apparently you're resurrecting the attacks on John Wayne,. So with that being said, how about posting those stories that you claim are out there? Hopefully they will provide photo evidence rather than just innuendo crap........
Should a picked Will Smith’s side instead of Chris Rocks.
Eff Jim Carrey.
Not to mention giving his girlfriend an STD and driving her to suicide.
20 is no longer a teenager
Dude I said the stories in my opinion are false or exaggerated. This was just in the news a day or two ago.
Why would I search for photographic evidence of something I doubt happened.
He’s a big liberal.
Yes I cant stand him. I don’t like him at all.
Naw that’s back when being as offensive as you could be was cool.
What’$ going on here i$ a warning to any other celeb$ who want to chime in to $tfu, the ptb have it under control and your word$ are ruining the game.
He really is something else
