Obviously Jada has said something to Will and that’s when he snapped, he’s visibly laughing just beforehand. He should have been escorted out immediately.

So by "Keep my wife's name out yo fucking mouth", what Will meant was "Keep my former/pretend/ex/separated wife out yo fucking mouth" then, right?

Loon.

He also humiliated and roared at him. I'm just not seeing the rights here 🤷‍♀️
Yes it's not only just about the physical attack. As Jim Carrey was saying, this was seen by millions, to be seen again and again. It will never go away. Imagine how that would feel. As a comedian getting heckled must be bad enough, never mind all that too. God I still cringe for him. The way he mixed his words up afterwards (understandably) he did well to carry on though. I think CR will be fine career wise after this.... Not so sure about big Willie

Staged or not staged, Shock or not shocked, this is not okay. No violence should be condoned whatsoever. The management should have escorted Will Smith out of the building immediately.

End of story imo.

i just read an article about Chris niggling away at Will over quite a long period. Which is no excuse for what Will did but seems to be something running there?
Well then why did he initially laugh? He only reacted when he saw Jayda wasn’t laughing and realised he will be in the dog house and so punched Chris to take the heat off himself. It’s sickening seeing him dancing around after and waving around his award without a care. Violent prick. If that was a white man he would have been escorted off the premises and arrested but because he is black everyone feels they need to be sympathetic to his aggression. That is black privilege.

Regardless, I love that Will stuck up for his wife publicly. I don't see enough of that.
If sticking up for your wife means getting violent and tarnish your reputation (further) maybe it's time to overthink if that partner is good for you. There is nothing good about this at all, more signs of a very unhealrhy relationship if anything

The same one as you, actually. Depending on what you’d class as an attack I was (if you read what I wrote) referencing people acting like Will beat up Chris on that stage. A slap is an assault and of course not acceptable in any way but some people would or wouldn’t class it as an attack. That’s all I was referring too - not that Will didn’t do anything. 🙄
Will did attack Chris. Anyone who deliberately strikes someone is an attacker, no matter how ‘little’ it may be considered compared to other assaults/attacks

Meanwhile poor old Benedict Cumberbatch (who I thought should have won) is probably left pondering “Who do I have to slap to get an Oscar round here?.”

You see this all too often in pubs and bars.
Man decides his woman has been “disrespected” so he lamps someone.
Often with dire consequences, as a punch / slap can send you reeling to the ground fast with no time to save your head hitting the ground.
Horrible to think that violence is justified by some, because of being offended by a joke or remark.

The swearing and yelling also - really don’t get why he wasn’t swiftly removed.

I was also thinking the same. If a white actor would have hit a black comedian... or vice versa, there would certainly be the race element mentioned.
You only need to scratch Twitter and find people relating this back to race.

personally I find the whole thing completely cringeworthy. The fact that he was laughing until he’s obviously glimpsed over at his wife goes to show how quickly he can snap- scary really.

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.
If I was Chris Rock, I'd be feeling like shit. Loads of his peers saw him being hit by Will Smith, and then applauded the latter when he won his Oscar.

The comment attributed to Denzel about the devil coming for you at your highest point sounds a bit like an excuse for bad behaviour that comes externally to you while also congratulating yourself for being ‘at the top.’

Meanwhile, the ‘real’ GI Jane, Demi, is posting about real problems.
