Bill from NYC Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Publicity stunt. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) If Will had just sat there and not done anything, would anybody even remember that joke today? I don't think so. Chris Rock showed a lot of restraint, or maybe shock, to not go after him. But this joke about their open marriage from Regina Hall about Jada and Will is okay?

The Jokeman Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Rock should have joked more about the drama version of Fresh Prince of Bel Air on Peacock, talk about something nobody wanted to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Denzel is a Christian then he is talking about the actual forces of good and evil. So both, the actual devil pushing Smith to choose his anger and ego over mercy and grace. 2 minutes ago, Another Fan said: My thoughts exactly at first, stage job.

Smith does need to be reprimanded in some way with the way laws are written. As an aside, I would rather stuf like this wasn't assault because I think it is good for some physical release, too much emotion is held inside and bottle up, which then can blow up in a very bad way.

Got it. Not saying you need to respect how it was handled, but Chris Rock was an ass tonight. It was a roast bit. He didn't just take one random shot at her outta nowhere. Every host of every award show has this segment. Rob Riggle was pretty brutal at whatever the sports version of this is called. Norm mcdonald made some wild joke about Charles Woodson not doing what oj did (Woodson was Heisman winner that year) LOL Your whole life is powder soft. You make $100s of millions, get no resistance at any turn of your life. You get made fun of a little, just like everyone else noteworthy there.... and lose your mind. Soft as ice cream. That woman's embarrassed him way worse than Rocks silly little poke! Felating dudes half his age IN THEIR HOME?!? Women like Jada are a dime a dozen. Bring him on live TV to talk about her infidelities?!? Pshttttttt she's trash. No need to protect her, she doesn't respect you or her self.

I can't say I've wanted to. But I guess I'm not a movie fan for having no interest in going to see a movie about little girl tennis players and their dad. Maybe they make it hard for people to see so that there is a bit of exclusivity to it. As for the slap, Chris Rock is 1 of 2 things: a meowsy or acting. Still don't rum your mouth about another man's wife. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teef Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 i get where people are coming from in regards to not going after a family member in the name of comedy. it's not something i would do, but it's not something wild when it comes to comedy. that being said, will smith was 1000% wrong, and looks like a complete fool over this. there's no working environment where you can approach and assault someone without getting walked out and arrested. this should be no different. if it was real, it was a wild over compensation on smith's part. the guy sat and cried in a very public interview where his wife discussed plowing another man. now he feels the need to hit someone in public to show who he is as a man? it's pathetic. if he truly had an issue with it, approach rock one on one and get it out. the way this went down was an embarrassment. the entire smith family needs to get over themselves. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamrock Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) Will Smith originally laughed, not outrageously, but he laughed. Jada rolled her eyes. Then moments later, Will walked up to Chris and slapped him. Sat down and hurled profanity. Normally there’s profanity first, punches second… or at least after profanity your mates can pretend to hold you back. I thought Demi Moore was pretty ‘fit’ in GI Jane, so I thought it was an homage to that, that Jada was ‘fit’. As well, doesn’t Amy Schumer have a long history of ‘borrowing’ jokes? So I thought it was funny she used the same gag that Rebel Wilson used from the British awards (?). Of Rebel Wilson, she toasted Will and Jada far, far worse at that award ceremony, that’ll be an interesting moment if they bump into each other! Jocko Willnick or Joe Rogan to host next years awards?

BuffaloBill Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 My mother used to frequently say “two wrongs do not equal a right.” The acceptance and standards of what constitutes “humor” has changed - Rock made fun of a condition that Jada Smith did not choose nor has control over. His words were wrong and so was Will Smith’s reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't a staged event, it's a very public look at Will Smith trying to salvage some of his ego after his wife has very publicly cheated on him and probably pined for a dead 2pac for 25 years. He's extremely angry at her but cannot express it at her since he's supposed to pretend, like the rest of these demoniacs, that it's "normal" and that he should be fine with it. If it wasn't staged it was the only truly human moment we've seen from a celeb at a major event in some time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muppy Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) oh my goodness what a debacle. I think Will Smith lost his mind and reacted in a way he has/will live to regret. Not due to he slapping Chris Rock, but the memes and carryover will be overshadowing of alll the iconic work he possesses on his resume. THIS will be a leading fact on his resume for the rest of his career I really think so. I mean just for the visibiity factor alone...The Academy Awards fcol? Janet Jackson anyone?....her snafu will never be forgotten either same reasons (super bowl) as regarding Jada her eyeroll would have been enough news/gossip on her part forget her husbands reaction. Very rarely do you see a "real" negative reaction from a star. When men pop off in violence even if no charges are ever filed (they are reporting CR won't be filing any) it isn't going to end well. ...Will.......dude.....T H I N K man I mean yeah it was a joke. There are tons of physical conditions where low blows in the past were allowed and now are not acceptable in society (fat jokes, sexual gender jokes, etc.) .Is anyone shocked this did happen? I am frankly. Who would have thought anyone would react walking up to an academy awards presenter, slapping/punching whatever and the heckling from the aggressor...WTAF did I just see? ******* On 3/28/2022 at 7:51 AM, Gugny said: You really think this is going to derail Will Smith's career?
