Actor Jim Carrey had some harsh words for Will Smith and Hollywood in general during an appearance on “CBS Morning” with Gayle King. Is Will Smith facing any real consequence of his mouthing off and violence?

Carrey called it “sickening” that the crowd at Sunday’s Oscars gave Smith a standing ovation for winning best actor only a short time after he rushed the stage and slapped comedian Chris Rock for making jokes about his wife.

“I was sickened by the standing ovation. I felt like Hollywood is just spineless en masse,” Carrey told King. “It really felt like this is a really clear indication that we’re not the cool club anymore.”

That's "Hollywood" for you. Sickening.

Carrey said if he were in Chris Rock’s position, he would sue Smith and also wondered if something deeper might have been bothering the 53-year-old actor than just what Rock had to say about Jada Pinkett Smith’s unattractive baldness, which he didn't know had anything to do with alopecia.

[Smith’s high-priced public relations team] released an official and carefully crafted statement on Monday night trying to apologize for Will Smith's inexcusable actions:

“Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable,” [they wrote in Smith’s name].

“Jokes at my expense are a part of the job...” [blah blah blah, money will get me out of this mess...] More
