I've not seen the photo, I'm glad I've not. I feel really sorry for Chris, especially as no one appeared to support him. I think they all rushed over to Will because he's the big star. I think if it had been the other way round and Chris had not Will, they'd all have rushed over to Will and Chris would have been removed from the event. I hope Chris Rock manages to make some money out of all of this.
I am starting to suspect that the ones comforting Will potentially know more about his ‘demons’ than the public do. I wonder if they all know what he is really like and rather than comforting Chris, the safest and best option was to calm Will. Just a theory of course, but from the rumours I am hearing, this seems a plausible explanation

And it's going to be online forever, haunting him. I felt his humiliation when he was standing there and it was horrible. Imagine what that's going to do to him. If you've ever been bullied or abused, you never forget what it feels like to be humiliated. You want to just disappear. It saddens me more that no one went up to him to ask if he was OK. Maybe they did off camera but I guess we can only judge what we see and it seems to me that Will got more hugs than Chris did.
Yep. Sadly for Chris Rock, this is now how people will forever think of him. The bloke who got thumped by Will Smith on live TV.

She wasn’t offended by that alopecia joke any more than Will quickly went in to actor mode and pretended he was on her behalf.

She has been pissed off with Chris and held a grudge for years since he ridiculed her boycott or whatever and saw a moment to manipulate in the current climate of people getting offended on others behalf over almost anything no matter how trivial at times.

I’ve watched the video a few times now along with his acceptance speech and post awards behaviour. I am now fully convinced the whole reason behind it was Cocaine. It was because of lots and lots of cocaine coupled with lots and lots of alcohol.

Maybe he was hanging out with Liam Payne and the third loser he referred to was himself.

What would Will have done if he knocked Chris out? Which easily could have happened. I feel bad for Chris Rock today it seems like none of his peers give a shit that he was assaulted on stage
Will Smith should have been escorted outside. Everyone knows the Oscars ceremony is a roast. He only took offence when he saw his wife wasn't happy with the joke - he was doing his fake laugh shtick up until that point.

Oh and you were there ok
I thought school holidays started next week...

Totally agree with this!! It feels very set up. But then CR looked genuinely shook afterwards….I dunno!!
Of course. He was assaulted hosting the Oscars in front of millions.

Am I the only person who thinks it’s quite a natural reaction? Yeah I don’t condone violence but they’re having problems in their relationship he feels out of control someone’s slagging his wife off he’s confused about his feelings. He didn’t hurt the guy he just gave him a slap 🤷🏽‍♀️
You’re not the only person who thinks that. You’re wrong, but not alone.

Isn't he known for having a bit of a short fuse? I seem to remember he's had incidents with photographers before.

And someone on a different site pointed out that a good comparison to this is the Zinadine Zidane incident at the World Cup.
Yep. Fond of a good ol' bitch slap is our Will.

It’s Chris Rock he is known to be controversial with his jokes ! Plus I doubt he was aware of her condition.Will should of handled it better and acted like someone else said like a man child. I can’t get over how calm and professional Chris Rock was ( at one point I thought is staged) ,not surprised his tickets sales have since increased massively so looks like Chris Rock has strangely benefited from it career wise.

Turns out Richard Williams abandoned is 5 children from his first marriage and broke his second wife’s ribs in a domestic abuse act. I thought King Richard was presenting a very flattering portrait of Richard Williams, he was much worse than what was shown on screen, it was a very one sided film.

Im sure I’ve said this before, but I’m always shocked at the number of people praising Katie Holmes for ‘escaping’ from Cruise.
She’d already been in the industry a long time when she got together with him. If I knew he was a swivel eyed lunatic she certainly did. She must also have been well aware of his involvement in that despicable cult. But she not only decided to marry him she also decided to have a child with him, knowing full well the situation with Kidman and her children with Cruise. And that’s praiseworthy?Yeah, well done to her for having a father who is a lawyer and negotiating a decent divorce settlement. 🙄 Bollocks to that.
Katie was hand plucked by Tom’s people and co-opted into the role of this adoring wife in order to make him appear relatable. Yes she probably should have known better but she was young and impressionable and had an extreme naivety to her. I don’t think they had a straightforward relationship. I think he was controlling and domineering and she was already in too deep with a kid before she realised what had happened.

Your post could apply to anyone who marries someone who they later realise to be a wrong un and I don’t think it’s fair to lay even half the blame on her feet. Tom is extremely charming and charismatic when he wants to be and she was clearly spellbound. I’m just happy that she got out when she did and if ever there was a celeb memoir I would love to read or have someone as a dinner guest it would be her. I would love to know more but understand that she likely cannot spill.

If a member of the public had gone on stage and slapped CR would they also not have been arrested? I THINK NOT!
Exactly. Someone raised the point as well that if Jada had stormed the stage instead and slapped CR the way Will did everyone would be calling her a psycho bitch and wondering if she’s a domestic abuser etc.

Of course he'd get in trouble if he wasn't Will Smith. That's the privilege top celebs always have. Chris knew it was a sensitive subject for Will, and Will snapped. No, I don't think her should have hit him but definitely speaking up for Jada would be the right thing. But I just don't believe Chris is so innocent.
Anyway, it is shocking because Will is usually really calm, so that must have been a massive trigger for him.
I don’t think anyone is saying he should not have stuck up for his wife. It is the violent way in which he chose to do so that people are objecting to. There is no excuse for that.

I also read somewhere that he had previously slapped a journalist on the red carpet a few years back so it’s not the first time he’s been violent in public.
