Emma Stone is setting the record straight on her reaction to Jimmy Kimmel‘s playful jab at Poor Things during the Oscars — and no, she did not call him a “prick.”
For those who didn’t catch the quip at last month’s Academy Awards, Kimmel’s comment arrived after a video montage of scenes from Yorgos Lanthimos‘ film — which would receive four wins from its 11 nods that night — was shown, sans sex scenes or nudity.
“Those were all the parts of Poor Things that we’re allowed to show on TV,” he joked, which appeared to have elicited a seemingly annoyed reaction from Stone sitting in the audience, who mouthed something to her husband, Dave McCary. This, in turn, prompted speculation online, with many under the impression that she called the Jimmy Kimmel Live host a “prick.”
In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter alongside her The Curse co-star Nathan Fielder, Stone seemed confused when she was asked if Kimmel had “really upset” her at the awards ceremony or if that was “taken out of context.”
“Did he upset me?” she asked.
The interviewer then clarified what remark she was referring to, pointing out “some people thought [she] called Kimmel a prick” online. Stone, in turn, replied, “No! I didn’t call him a prick.”
After Fielder chimed in and claimed he “didn’t know anything about this,” Stone asked, “What did I say?”
“I didn’t call him a prick,” she reiterated. “I wasn’t upset with him at all. I’ll have to look that up.”
Meanwhile Fielder teased that Stone is “always down for a joke,” to which Stone added that she’s “near-unoffendable.”
Fielder agreed, “Yes. Near-unoffendable.”
Stone also made headlines during awards season after reporters asked for her reaction to Taylor Swift‘s “huge applause” for her at the Golden Globes, to which she quipped, “What an asshole, am I right?”
“I definitely won’t make a joke like that again,” she eventually told Variety in February, “because I saw headlines that really pulled it out of context.”
Poor Things is streaming on Hulu.
