Sony Hack 2014: Offensive Conversations About Angelina Jolie, President Obama & More Leak, Some Respond [PHOTOS]

The recent massive Sony Pictures leak revealed important information like movie deals, passwords and salaries, but it also exposed several offensive conversations between executives, producers and directors. Several conversations not only targeted some of the biggest names in the business, but also the president of the United States.

Here are some of the worst ones.

President Barack Obama:

A derogatory email exchange between Sony’s co-chairman Amy Pascal and movie producer Scott Rudin happened last November, before she attended a breakfast for President Obama. Pascal asked Rudin what she should ask the president at the “stupid” event put together by Jeffrey Katzenberg, chief executive of DreamWorks Animation.

Rudin, an acclaimed producer who worked on films like The Social Network and Captain Phillips, replied, “Would he like to finance some movies.”

“I doubt it. Should I ask him if he liked DJANGO?” Pascal said, to which Rudin replied, “12 Years.”

The joke, which meant to imply that Obama only favors movies with African-American actors, continued with Pascal writing, "Or the butler, or think like a man?"

Rudin wrote: "Ride-along. I bet he likes Kevin Hart."

Angelina Jolie:

Rudin was apparently furious when David Fincher – whom he wanted to direct a Steve Jobs biopic – would instead potentially work on a remake of Cleopatra with Jolie as the lead. The producer was not in favor of the movie or Mrs. Pitt.

“I'm not destroying my career over a minimally talented spoiled brat who thought nothing of shoving this off her plate for eighteen months so she could go direct a movie. I have no desire to be making a movie with her, or anybody, that she runs and that we don't. She's a camp event and a celebrity and that's all and the last thing anybody needs is to make a giant bomb with her that any fool could see coming,” he told Pascal. “We will end up being the laughing stock of our industry and we will deserve it, which is so clearly where this is headed that I cannot believe we are still wasting our time with it.”

Megan Ellison:

The drama with the biopic didn't end there. Rudin called Ellison, a young movie producer, "a bipolar 28-year-old lunatic" when she wanted to be involved with the Steve Jobs movie. Ellison responded via Twitter.

Kevin Hart:

In another email, studio executive Clint Culpepper called the comedian a “whore” after he asked for money to promote Think Like A Man Too on Twitter.

“I never cease to be amazed at the chutzpah of actors,” Culpepper added.

Hart responded on Instagram with the lengthy post below.
