Halle Berry’s Nosy Remark
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
Halle Berry put her foot in her mouth last Friday during a live taping of “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.”
While sharing photos that had been distorted on a computer for comedic effect, Berry presented one of herself with an enormous nose. “Here’s where I look like my Jewish cousin,” she said. The comment — which, according to an audience member, did not get a laugh — was edited out of the show. Berry has since apologized, saying she did not mean to offend anyone.
This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.
We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news this Passover.
This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
