Sony Pictures Execs Apologize For Obama Jokes In Hacked Emails

A major Sony Pictures executive has apologized for leaked emails in which she jokes about President Barack Obama and race.

Sony Pictures' co-chairman Amy Pascal and producer Scott Rudin both apologized for the emails, in which the two joked about which films the president may like, referencing films with mostly African American actors.

"The content of my emails were insensitive and inappropriate but are not an accurate reflection of who I am," Pascal said in a statement provided to The Huffington Post. "Although this was a private communication that was stolen, I accept full responsibility for what I wrote and apologize to everyone who was offended."

Rudin also issued a statement to Deadline, saying "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. To anybody I've offended, I'm profoundly and deeply sorry, and I regret and apologize for any injury they might have caused."

The two Hollywood moguls have been the targets of a recent scathing hacker attack on emails and files belonging to Sony Pictures. Along with the release of personal emails, the hacking also released celebrity salaries and personal information, such as social security numbers.

In their emails referencing President Obama, Rudin and Pascal joke that the president might like the movie "Django Unchained" about slavery, or the film "The Butler" or "Think Like a Man," both starring African American actors.

"Ride-along. I bet he likes Kevin Hart," Rudin added, referencing another African American actor.
