Marion Cotillard -- Why We Hate the French

Oscar bitch Marion Cotillard must think Americans don't know French so she can pretend she didn't say what she said. Well, she said it.

Her Paris-based lawyer, Vincent Toledano, tried spinning his client's comment about 9/11, claiming she was taken out of context.

But we've looked at the original transcript and she did indeed say that Americans destroyed the Twin Towers themselves because they wanted it rebuilt and blowing it up was cheaper than renovation.

Marion -- foie gras you.

UPDATE: Cotillard's rep has released the following statement to TMZ: "On February 16, 2007, I appeared on a late night French television program,'Paris Dernière.' In the last 48 hours, my statements on that program have been taken completely out of context and been crafted into a story that hasn o merit. The conversation on the talk show included a dialogue about
conspiracy theories. At no point did I intend to contest the horrific attacks of September 11, 2001, one of the most tragic days in all of history. Nonetheless, I sincerely regret if my comments offended or hurt anyone."

31. She should be thanking the Americans that she speaks French rather than German. What a dumb bitch! Yes, we Americans are so wrapped up in capitalism and the almighty dollar, that instead of properly demolishing buildings for renovation - we simple hire cheap suicidal labor to fly planes into fully occupied buildings and kill thousands of people, forcing some to make the horrible choice of either death by burning alive or leaping 92 stories to smash on the concrete below. Uh, okay. I hope she burns in a fiery crash somewhere and plummets off a mountain. Dumb ass bitch.

38. Cotillard should have her last name changed to RETARD. Her brain dead comments just show how ignorant, arrogant, uninformed & uneducated she is. This is the main problem with many actors & actresses; if they're brilliant, they are given a world stage & asked questions about things they have no idea about, yet are compelled (as part of their craft) to muddle through. So, they just say what comes to mind, no matter how stupid or outrageous; it's almost like they're playing the part of the conspiracy moron. As marion RETARD did here. The fact that she's french just makes it worse.

What's next, Marion RETARD? Area 51 conspiracies twisted together with fake moon landings, Roswell aliens & grassy knowl shooters? Geez, grow a brain, you moron...

41. Okay for one of our own - Michelle Obama - to make stupid comments but not a French(wo)man? Mrs. Obama, who has graduated from the finest universities in America, should be held to a greater standard than someone from another country with regards to what occurred on 9/11.

42. 9/11 was an inside job. Only an idiot would believe that buildings magically collapse like that. Sadly, most Americans are complete idiots.
