While everybody thought the Sony Pictures Entertainment co-chairman Amy Pascal had willingly stepped down from her post following the scandalous email hack, the 56-year-old mogul revealed that she was instead fired.

Renowned journalist Tina Brown had a chance to talk to the controversial entertainment mogul t Women in the World conference on Wednesday, where she candidly opened up about the "Sony hack emails" controversy.

"All the women here are doing incredible things in this world. All I did was get fired," she revealed, according to the Recode site.

Brown reportedly said that Pascal decided to talk for the first time publicly because believed that "the timing was good. And in [her] home town, it's a little too hot right now."

The former Sony co-chairman was asked first to recall the moment where she realized that her personal e-mails would be put out in the public because it were already hacked.

"I ran this company and I had to worry about everybody who was really scared. ... People were really scared. ... But nagging in the back of my mind, I kept calling [IT] and being like, 'They don't have our emails, tell me they don't have our emails,'" she said.

"But then they did. That was a bad moment. And you know what you write in emails."

Brown immediately opened the conversation by asking Pascal about the racial comments in her email with producer Scott Rudin about President Barrack Obama.

"It was horrible. That was horrible," Pascal answered.

"As a woman, what I did was control how everybody felt about themselves and about me...and there was this horrible moment when I realized there was absolutely nothing I could do about whether I'd hurt people, whether I'd betrayed people."

Adding, "There is nothing you can do. You can't say anything. You can't explain anything. It's just there."

When asked about the controversial comments about famous Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie, whom Rudin called a "minimally talented spoiled brat."

"Angie didn't care," Pascal revealed.

"Everybody understood because we all live in this weird thing called Hollywood," she said. "If we were all actually were nice, it wouldn't work."

As for the paying Jennifer Lawrence less that her male co-stars in "American Hustle," she derided.

"I've paid (Lawrence) a lot more money since then, I promise you...Here's the problem: I run a business. People want to work for less money, I pay them less money...Women shouldn't be so grateful. Know what you're worth. Walk away," she explained to Brown.

And what did Amy Pascal learn from the Sony hack email controversy?

"Say exactly what you think directly to people all the time," she said. "In the moment, the first time."

Brown added that Hollywood stars are probably more sensitive than other people, to which Pascal sneered.

"They're bottomless pits of need. You've never seen anything like it," she said.

Adding, "They are so great. They're this magical thing that no one else can be. They're filled with the need to be loved ... but that's because they're magical."

Amy Pascal also took the chance to say something for the press.

"I'm not supposed to say anything about that," she said. "But I will say that I was. People found reasons that going through my trash and printing it was an ok thing to do. They found a way to justify that. And they have to live with that."
