That slap was not ok.. for will to them win an award & get clapped… I just find it tasteless having awards like this & gift bags etc, with what’s going on in the world.. just another day in the office for Hollywood
The value of the gift bags was disgusting. Sick of Hollywood and the virtue signalling and do as I say not as I do. Bunch of hypocrites and narcs.

His plan now is apologise ✅ rehab, then a “red table talk exclusive” with him and Jada jerking off over who loves themselves more and who had to heal more 🤢🤢🤢 or a couples sit down with Opera who is equally as vomit inducing.

I’m still in shock over this moment. Him laughing to then do The slap. Him screaming at him from the audience. The pin drop silence. Chris Rock could have dragged them. He didn’t. I think Will has lost it since last year. Can you Imagine your other half going on about a entanglement and you being the butt of the jokes on the internet over it. I would say he is a broken man with a crow of a wife. Really needs to step back and evaluate his life at this point. It honestly felt like he did it to prove a point. Rather than over the joke in question.
Probably didn't drag him because he was scared and knew he was on his own. The academy treated him appallingly, they allowed their host be assaulted and then continued to allow him to be verbally abused. He was at work!

maybe I’m in the minority but I think wills actions are disgusting. You can see the anger inside of him, seething, cannot control his temper.
And his justification is even worse. ‘Love makes you do crazy things’ no, will, it doesn’t, you are responsible for your own actions, what a dangerous set of words to speak.

what Chris said was also disgusting. They should know better.

I decided to watch this shitshow (Oscars) live just to confirm my suspicions that it was going to be crap and it didn't disappoint. When the incident happened, I was questioning what I just saw. I replayed it and yes WS assaulted CR. I just sat there thinking is anyone going to say or do something? Is anyone going to call him out or boo, anything? Dead air. If you wanted an example of the bystander affect, that was it. There's Lupita just sitting there wondering what the hell is going on. You had a man assault another man live on TV and NOBODY did anything about it. The shot of Bradley Cooper going and giving Will a hug made me sick. There, there, are you having a bad day Will? Yes it is rough being you. :rolleyes:

Everyone likes to think they are going to be the hero in that kind of situation, but the reality is most people wait around for someone else to intiate action and that night no one did. I hope it finally put paid to this wokey cokey, holier than thou nonsense, identity politics that has been distracting people from real issues. It's an award ceremony, there is politicking for votes, it's about having the best promotion for your film sometimes. It is ironic that Jada was the one who started the whole ball rolling on the Oscars So White, only to have her husband on the night of his win ruin it.

I’m still dumbfounded how he was let shout like that. It was so threatening and scary and not one member of security told him to stop. Chris having to stand there in pain with the world watching, humiliated, probably feeling faint, was left to diffuse a volatile situation and then carry on and give the winners of the award their deserved moment. He was really hung out to dry. The more I think about it the more awful it is. Everyone who let it happen and did nothing in the immediate aftermath should all be sanctioned too, not just Will.

Gonna have to disagree.
Maybe Chris will be a bit more careful next time :) apparently he has been at it with for years. I don't think he needed to touch him, but just shouting at him would have been good enough.
Step this way for a society in which comedians have to “be a bit more careful” or face violence because they’ve hurt someone’s feelz.

Just my armchair perspective but I think he feels deeply emasculated by Jada’s affair and their talking about it publicly which was really cringe.
Absolutely. I think this situation has so many layers. It seems Chris Rock has a history of taking pot shots at the Smiths at award shows. Plus Will has had to endure never ending digs about ‘entanglements’ throughout this whole press tour for the King Richard film. Add all the emotion and pressure of Oscars night into the mix and I think he came slightly unhinged.

The problem with Will and Jada is during the last few years they’ve been obsessed with over sharing because they think it gives them the upper hand somehow. Like they’re above all the controversy and gossip about their lives if they’re willing to sacrifice themselves at the altar of public opinion. But that’s not how it works! The more you decide to engage in public vulnerability the more you open yourself up to criticism and ridicule.

In the internet age it’s somehow become a virtue to be really open and transparent - but actually I think old fashioned wisdom prevails. Keep private things private and maintain your dignity through silence. Let some things, especially intimate details about your family and marriage, stay private. It’s clear Will is someone who values his public image and social standing. And the past few years have clearly taken their toll.

I don’t think this incident had anything to do with protecting his wife, it’s about not being able to handle the ridicule anymore. It was a matter of pride and ego. And I’m not even a big fan of Chris Rock. I don’t think Will needs to hand back his Oscar when far more violent perverted scary men have been allowed to keep theirs. But I also don’t think people can just run up on stage and slap those who say things that bother them. As Chris himself said, it was a GI Jane joke about Jada’s shaved/bald hair style, hardly anything super offensive or rage inducing.

I think it’s his bopping away all night celebrating himself that has annoyed me the most. That just makes any apology he has to offer insincere and futile.

Wills speech seemed very rehearsed after an ‘unstaged’ event
But why would Will Smith agree to stage something that would make him look like a violent, massively entitled dickhead? Not to mention delivering a huge blow to his popularity and reputation and totally overshadowing and devaluing his Oscar win. It doesn’t make sense.

I'm really shocked by Wills Smith's behaviour. Not acceptable. I like to think I am up on celebrity gossip and didn't know JPS had alopecia (I have no interest in watching their red table series). I know quite a few black celebrities have the condition due to wearing weaves etc, I think Naomi Campbell has the same.

I've watched the video a couple of times and WS was laughing initially but JPS had a face of thunder. I understand being sensitive about hair loss but these things will get commented on at public events. As WS was nominated of course focus was going to be on him and JPS and what they were wearing etc. Perhaps they should remember the old mantra about sticks and stones

WS had no right to do what he did and should have been charged for assault. I don't think this was scripted and if it was it was in terrible taste.

I’m not a fan of Jim Carey but thank fuck someone has finally got the guts to speak the truth about how spineless Hollywood is and I love the bit about how he would be suing him for 200 million. I really hope CR decides to sue him though. The irony is if anyone needs a public smack it’s WS, for being such a pathetic whiny spoilt little cry baby and spoiling everyone else’s night.

I just read that Chris Rock was teary-eyed at his stand up show last night while briefly mentioning the Oscars. I feel sorry for him.

Will can fuck off

Making a joke about something that's due to a medical condition is on a different level though. As much as her alopecia probably isn't life threatening, I'm sure losing her hair was very hard mentally.
A different level that warrants punching the guy?
