At the time, the comedian was 35 years old and went on stage to receive his prize, awarded by the beautiful Alicia Silverstone. As she prepares to kiss him, he kisses her on the mouth without asking her opinion and despite her attempts to push him away. An embarrassing sequence that was reminded to him by many Internet users who sent him the video of this sexual assault.
At the time, Alicia Silverstone, barely 21 years old, explained that she experienced it as a “humiliation”. The actor apologized behind the scenes but started again a few minutes later with … Will Smith, whom he had tried to kiss with his tongue. Repelled by the interpreter of Richard Williams, we can find a photo of him, tongue outstretched, in a position that did not make much laugh, at the time already.
