Smith needs to lose that toxic wife of his ASAP.
I'm guessing that because he made a promise not to have another failed marriage and his mixed up feelings about not protecting his mum when he was a kid have made him stay in this toxic situation for too long. Open marriages in my opinion just don't work and all Jada's red table bollocks apologising to Wills first wife about not respecting marriage is hypocritical hogwash.

Just read this from a link in Will's wiki. This goes back years. Its number 30 in his Wiki.

"In 1989, Smith was involved in an incident in Philadelphia that left record promoter William Hendricks nearly blind, according to Philadelphia Police Department reports. The incident occurred days after Smith won his first Grammy Award with DJ Jazzy Jeff.

Smith was charged with reckless endangerment, aggravated assault, simple assault and criminal conspiracy. The charges were eventually dismissed, but Smith spent one night in a West Philadelphia jail. He has maintained that Hendricks was assaulted by another man while he was present."

It feels like he’s where Ioan Gruffudd was at in 2018. Trauma bonded and can’t see a way out and will just mop up offer her at his own expense. She’s slowly bringing him down and he knows it so he’s trying to placate her so she stops. She won’t stop WS or at least until you give her what she wants.

There’s only really 3 options I can think of;

1.It was a stunt someone/they planned for abit of attention or media coverage given the Oscars have been tanking in ratings/popularity over last years - racism, pandemic, Harvey Weinstein, Epstein etc

2. As others have said he’s got a whole lot of pent up rage and psychological stress from years of marital problems and infidelity.

What I think most likely though is

3. (assuming 1 isn’t true) Cocaine. Swinging from aggression to the point of violence and yelling in front of 100’s of people to bawling crying talking about God and Love to singing and dancing within short hours is not normal behaviour. It’s very reminiscent of Kanye level erratic behaviour and we know he’s psychiatrically unwell. So yeah, cocaine, alcohol, uppers , steroids etc will do that to you.

Is it me or are Will and Jadas kids together really odd looking?! like they haven’t formed/developed properly, they are both adults now (Jaden 24 in July, Willow 21) yet still look like children.

Wills son from his previous relationship looks absolutely healthy.

tbh I'm quite sure that it brings more attention if anything, people who say they dont watch a thing because of this and that usually dont go through it and curiosity gets the better of us all

I dont know, I get some people comparing it to being fired from work for assaulting, but this doesnt mean that we can never work again, right?

If it's not a prolonged misconduct (which I am not sure here to be fair) I do think people do deserve chances, but obviously for that you have to genuinely realize that you were wrong in the first place and seek help if necessary.
It doesn’t mean you can never work again no but it does give the right for those in the know about what happened to decide if they would like to hire you or not. He’s not entitled to work just because he’s an actor. If I’m going for a job and they ring my last boss for a reference and he tells them I slapped someone on my last day, the new place have every right not to want to hire me. He assaulted someone on stage so publicly with the whole world watching. I do not blame people for being hesitant to hire him now or keep him on board of current projects

Agree. I can't be the only one who's concerned about the way things are going now. Apparently no-one who isn't black themselves can comment on anything another black person does - or it's regarded as being racist.

True racism is abhorrent and should be deplored by anyone with an ounce of decency in them. And that should go both ways - black & white/ white & black.

We've made so much progress over the last few decades but this last year or two, it seems the word 'racist' is the word to bandy about to get a 'them versus us' situation. I wish it would stop and I wish we could see people as just people, and judge them for their character, instead of for what damned colour they are!
Well said.
It has nothing to do with race, when I saw the infamous clip, I witnessed a man being violent towards another man. The fact that they were both men of colour, is not the issue.

I don’t know where this idea of “Will Smith, a universally beloved lovely man” is coming from. He is a Scientologist, for one thing, so there goes his “nice guy” reputation. And you only have to look at how his and Jada’s children have turned out to see that both of them are fundamentally messed up. That’s not to mention all the nasty rumours about him circulating on gossip sites.
The whole Smith family are assholes

Women don't feet protected by men being violent.
This! I've felt scared in the past when an ex has tried sticking up for me by giving it the all "I'm a big man" by throwing punches. It's pathetic... use words and not your hands to make your point.

The best response to GI Jane 2 (although not ideal when you aren't mic'ed up against an on stage comedian) would have been 'it couldn't be any worse than Spiral!'
As I said on another thread - I would have grinned and flexed my "guns". This was a ridiculous overreaction considering it was a mild joke and paled in comparison to the jabs that celebrities have taken at politicians and non-celebrities from their bully pulpits.

ETA: I always had a disconnect about how nice and normal Will Smith seems next to how f-ed up Jaden and Willow are. I agree that something is really off in that family. Jada always strikes me as a humorless pill who has been riding her husband's coattails. I never got them as a couple.

When Kanye West went on stage with Taylor Swift, he had massive delusions of grandeur too. These egotistical people are paid enough money to at least be proffessional, is that too much to ask?
Hmm, yes, and he was doing it to 'rescue' a woman too - telling the world that Beyonce was robbed of Taylors award.

What is wrong with these men??? Women can speak for themselves if and when they want to!

from what i can see, the most comments are from mainly african america women, who are all taking personal offence at his ‘joke’ as their hair is very personal to them and they feel personally attacked esp as rock did a documentary on black women and their hair so they say he should have been aware.

.



i’ve talked about this on a different topic, but from what i have seen especially from twiter and forums like LSA, they HATE mixed race people and don’t accept them as a ‘black’ person. Unless you are a dark skin black person you’re nothing to them it seems.
Yet so many of them will defend Meghan Markle to the death.

It's nice when bad behavior has consequences, but everyone putting his projects on hold (or stopping it entirely) feels like cancel culture galore. It doesnt really fit the crime, at least if this is a permanent state.
I’m not sure it’s a case of being cancelled as such. He’s now a poor investment. How many people are going to want to go enjoy a will smith movie when they’ve seen his recent actions. The production company will have already paid millions for the project and to bring something out (advertising/world premiere etc) will cost more. If they know it won’t make money why bother

I just find the whole thing bizarre, I said this on the UO thread but I just don’t see how Will can justify hitting CR over a joke that he initially laughed at. Watching it play out it almost seems staged but from CR’s reaction it seems not to be. The whole thing seems to be blown out of proportion. Twitter (that well known beacon of truth eh) are celebrating Will’s reaction, that because Jada has alopecia the joke was out of line and Will was acting in defence - I completely disagree I find it an awful overreaction and surely just talking to him afterwards would have been the better alternative. The joke wasn’t great but it didn’t deserve that reaction.

i don’t think it’s a race thing either it’s definitely an ‘I’m an untouchable star’ thing, although there will inevitably be a cross section of people who would see this as the ‘angry black person’ stereotype (though not sure if this stereotype is usually directed towards black women?). Which is wrong in itself bc he was right to be angry, just not violent.

i don’t think there will be any repercussions for WS tbh. The academy have already put out a tweet saying ‘we don’t condone violence’ but considering Roman Polanski the p€do has an Oscar they’re hardly going to whip it from WSs hands. The only repercussion I could think of, and I use the term lightly, is people viewing WS as a cuckold and him feeling emasculated.
