The fact that Will Smith wasn’t kicked out of the Oscars and arrested for assaulting Chris Rock shows how Hollywood allows, enables, and celebrates the very worst behaviors.
Workplace violence isn’t tolerated in normal industries.
@MarkDice
Probably not staged. Jada Pinkett Smith has alopecia so in this context the joke was pretty mean, and set him off
@MarkDice
Maybe the writers didn't know about Jada's alopecia. I doubt they would allow Chris Rock to mock someone's medical condition in the woke era.

Lack of impulse control. You know, the sort of thing that causes a fast food worker to get shot because he forgot to put the bbq sauce into the bag with the chicken nuggets.
Gee black man vs black man about a black woman. Must be the fault of white supremacy. Yeah, THAT’s it.
Hollywood is a parallel dimension. They’re all on drugs, and can beat each other up on national TV without consequences.
A hockey game broke out at the Oscars.
I didn’t watch.
I won’t even watch the clips.
Entertainment industry is now a brainwashing industry.
Lewd, crude and ignorant.
Let them give laudations to themselves and wear costumes that may cost the yearly salary of an everyday citizen.
When their end comes, they won’t bring anything with them.
It’s enough to make anybody vomit.
God will tell them, “I never knew you.”
Her head isn’t even bald. In photos and video, you can see she has a full head of hair. It’s shaved down.
Many women have thinning hair or bald spots, and they don’t shave their heads. There’s nothing wrong with shaving your head, but she didn’t have to. She chose to wear it short.
Chris Rock was referring to her choice of haircut when he referred to GI Jane.
Ghetto reaction to a joke. Appears Blacks don’t lose their Ghetto attitude even though the’re multi millionaires. Bad moves by both sides; Rock and Smith.
Yep....other black celebritis said ...”That’s how we do it”.....and they do.
Some words are fighting words. Probably staged to boost down the toilet ratings. Hollywood is a complete fake. Meant to tear dollars out of people’s pockets. Completely irrelevant.
What absolute BS. And there is nothing funny about it. Nothing like this has ever happened to the Academy Awards in its almost 100 years of existence.
A comedian, who spent his entire comedic career, basically making fun of other people, physically assaults another comedian, for doing the very same thing to his wife; a woman who admittedly cheated on him, repeatedly.
Further, he was laughing long and hard at the joke, before walking up on a world stage, and assaulting Chris Rock. Then follows it up with a loud profane laced hissy fit.
It needs to be said, if a white guy had gone up on stage and did the very same thing to Chris Rock, a black guy, for the very same reason. Not only would the crowd been incensed and outraged, he would have been led out in hand cuffs, charged with assault and battery, and stripped of his Oscar. His career would be completely ruined, and over.
Instead, Smith gets awarded with an Oscar and a standing ovation just moments later. THAT is black privilege.
The Libs wanted to turn the Academy Awards over to a Ghetto culture, and now they got a taste of the violence that goes along with it. They are the reason we can’t have nice things anymore. They killed the Academy Awards. Oscar is now dead. This was just another nail in its coffin. Close the lid and bury him.
The Left forced diversity on every aspect of our short lives. And in the process, they destroyed our major cities, that once represented the zenith of modern civilization into 3rd World decaying cesspools of drug use, welfare dependencies, open toilets, and violent crime ridden ‘No Go Zones’. They destroyed our once great public education system into a laughingstock of dumbed down, brainwashed students, and pedophile teachers. They destroyed our borders and gave us over population, more crime, more poverty, more pollution, and larger traffic jams. And they turned our once great entertainment industry into garbage, producing the lowest gutter trash human minds can imaging.
It will only get worse. Liberalism destroys everything it touches. Thanks to them, we now have a front row seat to the fall of the ‘Roman Empire’, in real time.
What did the five fingers say to the face?
What the HELL did Chris Rock say to get him slapped?
Pedophile enabling industry.
Chris Rock "no-sold" the slap in order to "keep his heat" and not look like a 'punk'. I am sure that was agreed upon when it was being planned. He kept his hands behind his back the whole time and moved with the direction of the slap without trying to back away or put his hands up to block it. Clearly a stunt, but Smith had to actually make contact for it to look authentic.
Agreed. Probably staged, but regardless of real or not, don’t care.
To quote a fellow FReeper:
“Not my monkeys; not my circus.”
Didn’t watch the clip and don’t know what happened, but Chris Rock talking about black women and their hair for decades. He did a funny enough film about it.
I wake up this morning wondering if WWIII has started yet and find this Hollyweird silliness the nation’s lead story. Who cares about any of that crap. Now if this would have been a regular instance of black guy dissing other black guy in LaLa Land and Smith ended up with a 9mm hole in his chest, I might have checked out the video.
I saw the clip on my morning news, and while Will Smith was initially laughing, Jada was glaring at Rock.
I can’t tell if this was staged or not. Seems more legit than not.
Good for him. He defended his wife’s honor. There should be more of that not less.
