I don't see what the big deal is here, but apparently she's gone so far as to contact Page Six and enter a full PR tailspin, so apparently it is a big deal.
I don't really see the following comments as anti-semitic at all. Jews have big noses. Its a fact. Why do you think so many people think I am Jewish?
I have those Apple programs that distort the photos--they do give people Jewish noses.
Plus, lets be real...how can you blame Berry...? This is probably the first time in her life she's seen herself not drop dead gorgeous outside of some scenes in Monster's Ball.
The story via Page Six:
Halle was promoting her new movie “Things We Lost in The Fire” and was using her laptop to show Jay distorted pictures of herself.
Page Six reports:
According to one audience member, "She introduced the first photo by saying, 'Here's where I look like my Jewish cousin!' - it was a picture of her with a huge, distorted nose. No one laughed, and Jay nervously said, 'I'm glad you said that and not me.' When the show aired, they cut out her 'Jewish' comment and added a laugh track to the bit."
A very tearful Halle Berry contacted Page Six to set the record straight:
"I so didn't mean to offend anybody - and after the show I realized it could be seen as offensive, so I asked Jay to take it out, and he did.What happened was I was backstage before the show and I have three girls who are Jewish who work for me. We were going through pictures to see which ones looked silly, and one of my Jewish friends said [of the big-nose picture], 'That could be your Jewish cousin!' And I guess it was fresh in my mind, and it just came out of my mouth. But I didn't mean to offend anybody. I didn't. I didn't mean any harm.
Yawn. This is hardly a scandal. Leave Halle alone. She's pregnant. And totally appropriate. Look at her mama glow?!
