Will Smith sucker punched Chris Rock, and I suppose is parading himself around as someone who protected his wife’s honor - by using dishonorable means. It was just trashy behavior.

It is time to bring back dueling.

It was a SLAP NOT A PUNCH....big diff.

If it was real, Chris Rock would have opened up a “can” on Will Smith..

Punched? Was barely a bitch slap. I feel embarrassed for Will. Gets up, runs to the stage and swipes at a comedian telling jokes ,who in turns mocks him after laughing off the ‘punch’.

Will Smith sucker punched Chris Rock

Did you see the slow-mo replay of that? That was no punch... it was far closer to a "hollywood slap," more along the lines of the Three Stooges. It has fakery written all over it... remember.. with the Oscars' ratings long in the tank and getting worse with each passing year, the producers desperately needed some form of "drama" to spike the viewership.

Jada is a celebrity herself. She could have stayed home. She could have worn a wig. Most black women in that room had fake hair on. Many are bald or have very short hair on purpose. Jada’s hair was a decision, it was fashion. Yes her hair is falling out. But wigs are so common for black women its not a problem.

Clearly the problem is that Will is embarrassed by his wife. He does not think her bald look is good. And when Rock mentioned it, Will was offended. He acts like he was defending her. He was defending himself. Being mentioned by a Oscars host is a sign of high celebrity. She was compared to GI Jane. People have taken worse without violence. But clearly he has a very thin skin and an aversion to hairless women.
