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."

63. 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.

64. 9/11 was a hoax.
The "war on terror" is a fraud.

65. 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!!

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

68. Too bad, I was interested in seeing what else she would do after seeing her as Edith Piaf. I don't mind anyone's opinion, but I also don't have to watch her any longer. We both have our choice.

69. That is EXACTLY why we hate the French. She's a twit frog and should shut the hell up. Geez. Why does the world, and esp. a Frog actress think we give a crap what they think about us. We don't. They're all jealous.

70. I don't understand how some of you can think that there were really terrorists. Because its what the tv and newspaper tells you? Give me a break. It makes me sick that you all are the people who will be voting for the next president...it makes me sick that you're the people who voted for this president...TWICE!

I bet you're all from the south, aren't you?

71. Ellen Page is CANADIAN!
Marion got the Oscar because she delivered an amazing PERFORMANCE, not her political views! She literally tranformed herself into Edith Piaf (wondering how many ppl here even know who she is...) in the same way that Jamie Foxx became Ray Charles! They won because they made you forget that you were watching an actor/actress and not the real person!
Saying she didn't deserve it is as silly as Natalie Cole's comments that Amy Winehouse shouldn't have gotten the Grammys!

72. She was honored by the Academy for her incredible job of bring Edith Piaf to life. Her comments, politics, etc. have nothing to do with it. Let's keep things in perspective.
