Jim Carrey is one of the funniest people on the planet, but some of his fellow celebs
don't exactly find him amusing.
With insults ranging from "classless" to "buffoon," this group of collaborators and critics held
nothing back in their expression of how much they just can't stand Jim Carrey.
Shia LaBeouf
In 2014, Carrey poked fun at actor Shia LaBeouf onstage during the Golden Globe Awards.
His joke addressed the allegation that LaBeouf plagiarized the work of a graphic novelist
and then apologized for the incident with a response supposedly lifted from Yahoo!
Answers.
After reciting a famous saying, Carrey quipped:
"I believe it was Shia LaBeouf who said that.
So young, so wise."
LaBeouf didn't take the dig so well.
According to The Huffington Post, the actor posted a since-deleted tweet featuring a YouTube
video of the "Jane Carrey Band," a group led by Carrey's daughter, with the caption:
"At least I don't get arrested for indecency on major LA highways!
Or abandon love [children]."
LaBeouf's characterization of Carrey's parenting was apparently way off.
Carrey's ex-girlfriend, Jenny McCarthy, said on The View,
"Jim is a great father and he loves Jane more than anything in the world."
According to E! News, LaBeouf later apologized, tweeting,
"Jim Carrey states that he is deeply involved in his daughter's life — I accept that,
regret tweet on the matter.
Apologies to both parents."
Ted Cruz
In a twist many fans probably didn't see coming, Carrey found himself embroiled in a public
feud with Senator Ted Cruz over a drawing.
It all started when Carrey tweeted a portrait he made regarding the 2018 U.S. Senate race
between Republican Cruz and Democrat Beto O'Rourke.
Carrey tweeted,
"Go Beto!
Go Democrats!
Vote like there's no tomorrow.
Let's make this Tuesday like the end of every great vampire movie.
Pull back the curtains and let the sunshine turn all those bloodsuckers to dust."
Cruz didn't exactly appreciate those words.
He shot back on Twitter,
"Hollywood liberals all in for Beto.
But (self-described socialist) Jim Carrey made a mistake here: Vampires are dead, and
everyone knows the dead vote Democrat."
Cruz and Carrey were at odds again in 2019 over another political cartoon, according
to The Dallas Morning News.
Cruz called him out, tweeting:
"This is not OK.
Today's Left: vicious, angry & consumed by hate.
Instead of insults & dehumanizing rage, we should return to civility.
I disagree w/ Carrey's politics, but believe we should respect his humanity nonetheless.
I wish he could reciprocate."
Mike Huckabee
One of Carrey's frequent targets in the Trump administration is reportedly former White
House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the daughter of former Arkansas Governor Mike
Huckabee.
Carrey tends to exaggerate Sanders' features in his portraits, giving her monster-like
qualities.
One of his captions read:
"This is the portrait of a so-called Christian whose only purpose in life is to lie for the
wicked.
Monstrous!"
Huckabee, who often comes to his daughter's defense, didn't appreciate Carrey's antics.
He tweeted,
"Pathetic BULLY, sexist, hater, bigot & 'Christaphobe' [Jim Carrey] attacks [Sarah] for her faith;
what would be hypocritical Hollywood reaction if he called someone a 'so-called Muslim'
or 'so-called Jew?'
[Hashtag Classless Carrey]."
Fox News
Carrey is particularly loathed by the cast of Fox & Friends, as evidenced by a segment
dedicated to him in March 2018.
According to The Wrap, co-host Ainsley Earhardt reacted to Carrey's political cartoons by
saying,
"Don't Democrats, don't they preach and march and protest and have women's marches and they
say 'tolerance, tolerance, tolerance?'
Where's the tolerance here?"
Fox Business host Lisa Kennedy Montgomery also took a jab at Carrey during a September
2018 episode, complaining that liberal stars are hypocritical.
"Everyone wants to be liked.
It's a basic human impulse for some of you and that explains the turn-on-a-dime hypocrisy
from people Jim Carrey."
Tommy Lee Jones
Carrey starred in 1995's Batman Forever alongside actor Tommy Lee Jones, and as Carrey tells
it, Jones openly expressed hatred toward him.
In an interview with Howard Stern, the funnyman claimed he bumped into Jones at a restaurant
back in 1995, and it didn't go well.
"And he got up kinda shaking, hugged me and he said, 'I hate you.
I really don't like you."
Caught off guard, Carrey asked him what the problem was.
"And he said, 'I cannot sanction your buffoonery."
Carrey had a few different theories about Jones' behavior, but still made it clear that
he holds no ill will towards his former co-star.
