4. Asking Too Much

Another email reportedly showed that a different studio executive bashed comedian Kevin Hart for demanding more money in exchange for promoting a movie on Twitter.

Hart is the only star to have responded via Instagram to the comments made about him, without specifically mentioning the Sony emails.

'Knowing your self worth is extremely important people... I OWN MY BRAND...I MAKE SMART DECISIONS FOR MY BRAND,\" he wrote in a message he posted Thursday.

He subsequently shared more posts promoting two of his upcoming movies.

5. Slamming Sandler

One of the leaked documents reportedly showed Sony employees making unflattering remarks about Adam Sandler's movies, but the company was quick to release a statement standing by the comedian.

Sony’s statement Wednesday said it had an \"enormously successful partnership\" with Sandler and planned to be in business with him \"forever.\"
