Emma Stone recently addressed her reaction to Jimmy Kimmel's Oscars joke about her film "Poor Things." The viral moment caught viewers' attention, leading to speculation about Stone's response.
In a recent interview, Stone clarified the situation, denying the use of any offensive language toward Kimmel.
During the awards ceremony, Kimmel commented on the sex scenes in "Poor Things," joking that they were the only parts allowed to be shown on TV.
A viral moment emerged when the camera captured Stone's seemingly unimpressed expression as she turned to her husband to say something.
After the incident, viewers started guessing that Stone had used an offensive word to refer to Kimmel in her reaction.
Some viewers speculated that Emma Stone had said "prank" to refer to Kimmel.
A viewer expressed their opinion on X, stating, "Emma Stone appears to be irritated by Jimmy Kimmel's joke about 'Poor Things' and supposedly called him a derogatory term on international television - she's certainly making a bold statement."
Another commenter remarked, "Emma Stone's response to Jimmy Kimmel's jest regarding the limited TV-appropriate scenes from 'Poor Things' is absolutely priceless. She clearly understands the shallowness of that remark."

However, in her interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Stone denied using any offensive language towards Kimmel.
She expressed confusion over the rumors and stated that she would have to look it up to understand what was being said about her.
Nathan Fielder, who is collaborating with Stone on a new project, also described Stone as someone who is always open to jokes.
Emma Stone finally achieved the highest award for this year's Oscar.
Despite people speculating about Stone's reaction, Kimmel's joke ended up having the opposite effect.
"Poor Things" went on to win four Oscars that evening, including Stone's Best Actress award for her role as Bella Baxter. This was her second victory in the category, following her win for "La La Land" in 2017.
Stone agreed and described herself as someone who doesn't get upset easily. This implies that even if she had a negative reaction to Kimmel's comment, she probably didn't consider it a significant issue.
