<< Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear >>
She was wearing her hair real short long before her alopecia set in. Rock wasn’t poking fun at her condition, and Will knows it.
PR spin machine after seeing the blowback
Chris Rock could go all Kanye on this douchebag but I think he will take the high road as much as possible.
OK but you can’t take something like that back. The dude has issues as does Chris for going after his wife. Stupid incident all around.
Please don’t take my award?
You can bet that was part of this fake apology.
whether or not Rock knew of Jada’s medical problem...Smith going on that stage and slapping him was unacceptable
If this was a white actor doing that, he would already have been ordered to return the Oscar statue.
This is a very VERY BAD example for the black young men who may have been watching. They don’t need any more reasons to rationalize acting like a common hoodlum in a public place.
“Will Smith gets away with b*tchslapping somebody while onstage, and he’s a Multimillionaire!”
“Smith going on that stage and slapping him was unacceptable”
If that was true - from the elitist perspective - he’d have been led out of the venue.
It was double standard night.
Flashback… Slapped male reporter who tried to kiss him…

The problem I had with it was that Smith slapped Chris Rock - and then turned away so he couldn’t be hit back. It’s an effeminate version of a sucker punch, not some manly show of taking on a bully for going after his wife.
Should have handled it like the lawyer in The Caine Mutiny.
“If you wanna do anything about it, I’ll be outside. I’m a lot drunker than you are, so it’ll be a fair fight.”
I remember her in Demon Night, 1992 I think. Very short hair and blonde.
If Will was white his life would have been utterly destroyed. The fake news Marxist domestic enemy media would have portrayed him as a white supremacist neo Nazi KKK slave owner whipping his slave and his career would have been totally obliterated forever.
When will conservatives receive an apology for years of abusive jokes at the Academy Awards?
This was all planned.
That’s a relief. It was probably all scripted.
This was a huge dilemma. Decision makers were seated in various places. He was up for an award. This was not a planned stunt..it was a WTF do we do now ...because no one had planned that someone would do this
Obviously, if a seat filler had done it the reaction would have been much different.
You can be sure that the higher ups in the Academy are angry that Smith put them in this position. Damned if they do and damned if they don’t.
First step had to be Smith apologizing to Rock which he failed to do last night.
Yeah I don’t know where to come down on this one.
It was cruel to joke about her medical condition. So I’m sympathetic to defending her honor, but to go up and hit the guy?
The whole thing is an embarrassing sign of the times.
Will Smith is gay.
He starred in Six Degrees of Separation and had a sex scene with a guy.
At that point, that’s when I returned the movie to Blockbuster.
A real man uses closed fist.
Not a slap.
