The Sony email leak saga continues - For the last two weeks, a catastrophic backlash has started to emerge as emails from a Sony executive and a Hollywood producer, which contained "thoughtless, insensitive and inappropriate" discussions were leaked after an outrageous hack attack.
Among the subjects of the embarrassing Sony email leak were Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie, Kevin Hart, Adam Sandler and Michael Fassbender. And even US President Barack Obama was a victim of an alleged racist attack from Sony Pictures Entertainment executive Amy Pascal and Hollywood film producer Scott Rudin.
Sony has allegedly known about the leak since February but chose to keep mum about it. The Daily Mail reported the email set between Pascal and Rudin was leaked as part of a shameful hack attack that has stormed Sony this last few weeks. In an exchange about Jolie, Rudin wrote in an email to "shut Angie down."
Jolie was apparently upset that director David Fincher had offered to do the movie "Jobs" because she wanted Fincher to direct her in "Cleopatra."
Comments about Jolie in the email were "the insanity and rampaging spoiled ego of this woman" and "I have zero appetite for the indulgence of spoiled brats."
While the first Sony email leak criticized major Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie, in another exchange suggested that actor Michael Fassbender is not universally known, The Independent UK reported. According to the latest train of email, Oscar-winning screenwriter Aaron Sorkin claimed that he had no idea who the actor is.
"I don't know who Michael Fassbender is and the rest of the world isn't going to care," Sorkin wrote.
As part of the cyber-hack scandal, producer Michael De Luca allegedly claimed in one email that Fassbender "makes you feel bad to have normal sized male genitalia."
Fassbender became yet another victim of company-wide Sony email leak between Sorkin and Pascal. Us Weekly said Sorkin was looking for someone for someone to star in his upcoming Steve Jobs biopic when Pascal mentioned the name of the Oscar nominee into the discussion.
Meanwhile, Kevin Hart was also one of the celebrities who was mocked in the Sony hack saga. The actor-comedian has even expressed his thoughts on social media about the "ignorant comments" made about him. The Huffington Post reported he was called a "whore" by Sony executive Clint Culpepper in an email exchange released Wednesday.
By Thursday, Hart posted an Instagram message responding to Culpepper's comment in the latest Sony email leak.
"I OWN MY BRAND... I MAKE SMART DECISIONS FOR MY BRAND... I PROTECT MY BRAND..." Hart posted.
The Sony email leak did not end in Hart. And the worst that can lead to an extremely severe catastrophic backlash were the racism allegations against the Sony executives to President Obama in the latest email published by the hackers.
Last November, Pascal attended an event hosted by DreamWorks Animation head and major Democratic donor Jeffrey Katzenberg, which also attended by Obama. In a Buzzfeed report, Pascal emailed Rudin for advice on what to ask the US President.
"Should I ask him if he liked DJANGO?" Pascal asked, which Rudin responded, "12 YEARS." Pascal then quickly continued by guessing Obama's preferred movies by or starring African-Americans.
Due to the controversial exchange between Pascal and Rudin on the latest Sony email leak, the two executives released public apologies.
"Private emails between friends and colleagues written in haste and without much thought or sensitivity, even when the content of them is meant to be in jest, can result in offense where none was intended," Rudin told Deadline.
"I made a series of remarks that were meant only to be funny, but in the cold light of day, they are in fact thoughtless and insensitive - and not funny at all," he added. "To anybody I've offended, I'm profoundly and deeply sorry, and I regret and apologize for any injury they might have caused."
While Sony Pictures CEO Amy Pascal apologized through a statement published by Variety.
"The content of my emails were insensitive and inappropriate but are not an accurate reflection of who I am," she said. "Although this was a private communication that was stolen, I accept full responsibility for what I wrote and apologize to everyone who was offended."
Meanwhile, 28-year-old "American Hustle" producer Megan Ellison was also criticized in the Sony email leak, which she was called a "bipolar lunatic" in one email. Ellison then responded via Twitter.
The controversial Sony email leak did not only contain private emails of stars Hollywood stars and officials but also released confidential information on wages of top executives, Social Security numbers of thousands of employees.
