Actress Halle Berry has been forced to issue a public apology after making an apparent anti-Semitic joke on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
During the taping for Friday’s show , the Oscar-winning star was showing Leno distorted images of herself on a computer, when she said: "Here’s where I look like my Jewish cousin!" as a picture of her with a large nose appeared.
When the joke received no laughs from the audience, Leno quipped, "I’m glad you said that and not me" - Berry requested the footage be scrapped.
However, an audience member tells New York gossip column, PageSix, "Ms. Berry should know how unbelievably inappropriate her comment was. She should be ashamed of herself."
