James Corden has apologized for some Harvey Weinstein jokes he made at a recent AIDS charity event.
The “Late Late Show” said he is “truly sorry” for offending anyone at Friday night’s amfAR Gala Los Angeles, which honored Julia Roberts with their Award of Courage. The evening’s emcee made a couple of questionable quips about the disgraced film producer and former Weinstein Company chief’s decades of sexual misconduct towards women in Hollywood.
On Sunday, the CBS personality offered the following:
but to shame him, the abuser, not his victims. I am truly sorry for anyone offended, that was never my intention. (2/2)

Here is a sampling of Corden’s material from two nights earlier:
“It has been weird this week though, hasn’t it, watching Harvey Weinstein in hot water? Ask any of the women who’ve watched him taking a bath — it’s weird watching Harvey Weinstein in hot water.”
“Harvey Weinstein wanted to come tonight, but he’ll settle for whatever potted plant is closest.”
