Actress-producer Lisa Kudrow has slammed Sony executives for their choice of words about some of the famous Hollywood A-listers, which was leaked online after it was hacked.
The 51-year-old star was not targeted in any of the e-mails but she was disappointed with the people who described Angelina Jolie as a "minimally talented spoiled brat" and others who were criticized, reported Us Weekly.
"How come I know you don't write anything you don't want broadcast in an email? How come I know that? Who's advising these people?
"It doesn't matter how many times an email says 'This is confidential, meant for just between the sender and the recipient. Why don't we know that there are no rules? Everything is broadcast and published. That's the part I just don't understand," Kudrow said.
Sony Pictures Entertainment's co-chairwoman Amy Pascal said in a statement, "The content of my emails to Scott 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."
Hollywood celebrities like Joel McHale, Jennifer Lawrence, Kevin Hart and Aaron Sorkin were among those people who were also criticized.
