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."

46. 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.

47. Everybody hates the Americans, until they land on their beaches and due the job that their weak & cowardly men could not. Until we send our children to die to save theirs. Then they love us, for 30 minutes

48. 17. Glad we gave the Oscar to her instead of a talented young AMERICAN actress like Ellen Page. Its good to see that as a country we are still so stupid to give credit to foreigners all the time instead of appreciating our own. If we had it my way, we'd get rid of everyone not BORN HERE, and YES I SAID IT!!!!!!!!!

Ellen Page is Canadian...

AND...do research on how much money Bush Sr. and Cheney's company are making from this war. They all planned it. It's disgusting but true. How about Bush changing the laws so he can't be punished for war crimes? He had no problem killing Hussain but he's no better. This country is more than corrupt and its already heading straight to hell.

Now go on and spew your hate about me.

49. She is 100% correct.

Why is everyone so afraid to question the government or the media.

Do some reseearch. Building 7. watch the video of it falling and tell me that's not a controlled demolition.

Wake Up. This Actress is smart.

50. One week ago, she won an Oscar and now her career in the US is over. Get her an order of Freedom Fries!

51. Between her and that other idiot, Gwenyth, they can HAVE England. If they don't like it here, we don't want them. Ever.

52. Uh...actors are not smart people. Don't believe me? Watch one Celebrity Jeopardy. Alex Trebek gets to the hair-pulling stage by the end of the week, with these morons. Nevermind that the questions are dumbed down. THEY CAN'T ANSWER THEM.
They're attractive, good mimics, etc. THAT'S ALL. You wouldn't take their advice on who to vote for --- for instance.

53. Oh please....how many sheep are going to buy this crap? She speaks terrible English and much can be lost in translation--she obviously does not hate America--did any of you haters watch her Oscar speech? I guarantee you this is being twisted and frankly, lots of people hate the U.S. It does not mean they should not be able to act. Look at the crap our government has done--blind patriotism is ignorant people and it is what has gotten us into this hateful war among other things...Are all of you proud of the bombing in Somalia too? I guess the lives of those 3 children and women were worth it to get one "terrorist"...blind idiots--this is why Bush got elected.

54. Why didn't she mention that when she was accepting her Academy Award? Coward! Oh right French=Coward..

55. I agree with her. 9/11 is shady, shady, shady.

A complete cover up in my opinion.

Who benifited from 9/11? Bush and the neo cons got a free pass to do whatever they wanted.

They had the control, the means, the motive.

Buildings don't magically implode on themselves in an hour and planes don't disinigrate upon impact.

Wake up. Reseaerch. The French actress is brave and correct.

56. she is totally right. Why do American's hate people that think about things intelligently and critically? and are not brain washed by cnn and mainstream media which is controlled by the government.

Google: Operation Mockingbird


There has been a false flag operation to get us into vietnam, ww1, ww2 and Iraq (9/11 was a false flag operation to get America to support a war to control oil in the middle east)

There is no terroristic threat. If there were don't you think with our practically open border policy in Mexico then the fake make believe boogeyman terrorist that the government needs to save us from could just get over the border from Mexico and kill us or use suicide bombs??

But they don't.

Terrorist and 9/11 was created to control the American People.

58. I hope each innocent person who died in the Towers haunts her every night of her life.

59. The only thing worse than a French person with a voice and an opinion of the USA is Rosie O'Donnell and her subversive nonsense!!

Posted at 2:33PM on Mar 3rd 2008 by Cassandra

60. Stupid betch... take back her Oscar and deport her ass! I'm so sick of foreigners talking smack on Americans... if you don't like us get the hell out... we should make an example out of this evil witch!
