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.

32. This should not be a suprise. Most poeple born outside of America, hates the American government and thinks that we are shady and racist. Based on how we deal with other countries (in a crooked fashion) they have every reason to believe our government is crooked with its people. I mean c'mon, the Bush admin proves it everyday. This is a big yawn. All you so-called patriots get over it.

37. 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. There are over 61 million people in France. Let's indict them all on the basis of one loony comment by some uninformed actress. It's back to "freedom" fries. My wife and I were on the next to the last flight allowed to land in De Gaulle on 9/11. When we reached the hotel, we turned on the TV and learned the terrible truth. Everywhere we went in France the people were extremely solicitous and sympathetic. We were warned to be careful because the extent of 9/11 on Americans around the world was unknown at the time. On several occasions, while walking around the city, we would look around and there would be a couple of uniformed policemen about a block or so away, clearly keeping an eye on us. There was nothing even remotely anti-American expressed by any French man or woman during our 10 day stay. Their press, electronic and print, was very kind and empathetic as well.

42. Ha from princess of Hollywood to most hated French woman in America, in what? One week. Man that takes some doing!

43. 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.

44. The problem with France is that it is full of French.
They don't remember our G.I.s dying over there to liberate their country because there were no French men around to see it.

Posted at 2:24PM on Mar 3rd 2008 by F*** the French

45. 9/11 was an inside job. Only an idiot would believe that buildings magically collapse like that. Sadly, most Americans are complete idiots.
