Sony's Amy Pascal, Scott Rudin Apologise for Racist Remarks on President Obama

After Sony Pictures hackers posted online the racially tinged emails about U.S. President Barack Obama's imagined movie taste that the studio's movie chief Amy Pascal and one of its top producers Scott Rudin exchanged, the two made a public apology on Thursday.

The new series of emails in which the pair mocked President Obama were posted by hackers just days after they released emails in which Pascal and Rudin had labelled Angelina Jolie as a "minimally talented spoiled brat".

 "The content of my emails were insensitive and inappropriate but are not an accurate reflection of who I am...although this was a private communication that was stolen, I accept full responsibility for what I wrote and apologize to everyone who was offended," said Pascal, Variety reports.

Pascal reportedly gave her statement to Deadline after almost a week of the reporters requesting her for a comment. She said that she did not want to comment earlier because she did not want the hacking episode to be about her. According to her, it isn't just she but, everyone in the company had been violated.

"There are people here that I work with I love, and I don't want them to be disappointed in me. I am mostly disappointed in myself. That is the element of this that has been most painful for me. I don't want to be defined by these emails, after a 30 year career; I was even willing to let it all happen," she said.

Rudin, in his apology, said: "Private emails between friends and colleagues written in haste and without much thought or sensitivity, even when the content of them is meant to be in jest, can result in offense where none was intended. I made a series of remarks that were meant only to be funny, but in the cold light of day, they are in fact thoughtless and insensitive - and not funny at all. To anybody I've offended, I'm profoundly and deeply sorry, and I regret and apologize for any injury they might have caused."

In the emails, Pascal and Rudin were consulting each other about what all they could discuss with the President on the eve of a fundraising breakfast that they all were going to attend at the home of DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg in October 2013.

The objectionable content of the emails include the two discuss President Obama's choice of movies depending on his background.

"Should I ask him if he liked DJANGO?" Pascal asked Rudin referring to the 2012 Quentin Tarantino film 'Django Unchained'.

Rudin, in his response, referred to another slavery film saying: "12 years."

The pair kept on listing films that starred black actors including Lee Daniels' "The Butler" and two Kevin Hart movies, "Think Like a Man" and "Ride Along".

At one point, Rudin also says : "I bet he likes Kevin Hart."
