Jim Carrey is criticised after videos resurface of him 'assaulting' both Alicia Silverstone and Will Smith

Jim Carrey has found himself in hot water after sharing his opinion on Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the 94th Annual Academy Awards on Sunday night (March 27). The 60-year-old actor appeared on CBS' This Morning on Tuesday and expressed his disappointment towards how the situation was handled, claiming that Smith 'should have been' arrested.

Since condemning the actions of Smith, Carrey has been branded a 'hypocrite' by many as a video from the 1997 MTV Movie Awards has resurfaced. In the video, a then-20-year-old Alicia Silverstone was forcibly kissed by Carrey, who was 35 at the time.

The footage shows Carrey walking up onto the stage to collect an award from the Clueless star, only for her to then be grabbed by Carrey and pulled into a kiss.
