Kind of wonder if he did the 180 to avoid further relationship disaster.
Divorce ain't cheap.

I wondered if it was some stunt at first too. But if it was then Smith wouldn’t have audibly swearing (repeatedly shouting “keep my wife’s name out of your fucking mouth”) on the broadcast for the Oscars.

"Love will make you do crazy things". Says the man who let his wife fuck another man and is cool about it.

If it's fake and trying to sucker us into watching this circlejerk in the future, it's pathetic, if it's real then it's even more pathetic. Either way fuck off Oscars.

Will is pretty pathetic. And yeah how many times can this dude get away with assault?

Yeah why is it ok to make fun of male baldness but not female?

So he went from laughing, to slapping, to yelling, to crying? Dude, it's the Oscar's, not the stages of grief. You don't gotta go through the whole range of emotions before acceptance.

just saw this after a friend sent me the link. I will say that while I understand Will being upset (him laughing was probably the initial reaction trying to be polite, but once he saw that Jada is actually upset, he went up there), but Jada is part of the industry. and even if that joke's in poor taste, there are a lot of ways to go about it instead of bitch slapping Chris. you can either go up there, take the mic from Chris and tell him to apologize or something. and good for Chris not losing his cool either and keep on hosting.

A (once) popular journalist. Became slightly relevant again after falsely accusing Trump of raping her. Turned the resulting headlines into a couple thousand Substack subscribers. Modern age hustle.

So if someone says something about a family member it’s ok to assault them? Thats your bottom line?

Yeah, definite credit to Chris Rock for bouncing back from that without missing a beat. That shit was smooth. Very professional. Granted, I'd still be upset if I were him, not because of the slap, or because I'm "making light of a black man in a historically white dominated awards ceremony," or whatever, but because my ass got staggered by the Fresh fucking Prince in front of all of my peers over a joke that belonged in 1993.

On one hand he definitely didn't keep his composure well and acted incredibly unprofessional.
Om the other were going to see a lot of people drag will for this when they'd do the exact same thing if their spouse got offended.
Its definitely real though. I've never seen anything like this at an award show ill tell ya that. Never.

Hes one guy. He doesn't represent all black people.

It’s just some nasty witch that shaved her head in rebellion.
If she had cancer i’m pretty sure Chris wouldn’t have made that joke.

Fuck that, it's right in line with the Leftist media's goals. We've already re-segregated things and divided the country via political ideologies and race, thanks in no small part to big tech curating our internet browsing, but now they're trying to break it down further. If you don't vote right, you're not a real black, you're a (slur that's less offensive than the n word but totes still a slur). If you don't side with the black man defending his family from the comedian black man, you're canceled. Now we can't just prostrate ourselves before the entire race of black people and beg forgiveness for the inherited sin of our ancestors, now we have to side with the "correct," black people.
It's all a ridiculously tailor made puppeteering act to just continually divide people into small echo chambers that are purebred enough to cater to, scam, and manipulate against one another. This is tin foil hattish, but it's the way I see the wind blowing, in politics, entertainment, social media, etc.

No she does have hair loss. Alopecia.
Its not cancer but its still a bit touchy if a joke to make.
No one hear knows what may have gone on between these two in the past anyway. This could be the culmination of an exchange we never saw.
Still to do this in front of everyone like that was bold.

Well you were right about it being tin foil hattish lol
Its just a guy hitting a guy because the guy upset his wife. That happens all the time.

That whole family is a bunch of fucking clowns from outer space.
My respect for Chris Rock has substantially improved. True professional right there.

Fuck Will, he’s made inappropriate jokes himself, but, it’s a problem once it becomes his family? He’s a comedian, he knows anything and everything gets made fun of, plus, he laughed and then realized he’s on his period so he went up to lace a guy for a joke, sat back down to yell like a crazy cat lady, and then cried, all in a span of 60 seconds. He didn’t have to react at all, could have just approached Rock after and told him how he felt about the joke like a man.
She has worn wigs in the past, if she’s really upset about losing her hair, but, being able to afford the best, most realistic wigs on the market, she’s just another spoiled piece of shit who should go visit cancer patients or something who are losing their hair cuz they’re fucking dying.

I can't believe how many people I'm seeing on social media calling for assault charges. I'm sorry but anyone who would press charges over a slap must be the biggest bitch on the planet earth and can't handle a bruised ego. Hell, it's dumb as fuck a slap can be considered a crime to begin with. Some MFers deserve to get punched let alone slap. The world would be a better place if people could settle their differences like men with some fist o cuffs.
That being said slapping Chris was an overreaction, but the dude grew up in NYC, that shit will just slide off his back he's dealt with worse I can assure you.

In puplic on live TV with the world watching, no they wouldn't. You'd take care of that shit man to man in private. Will's not a hormonal teenager who's ready to throw hand because "Wot did you say about my bird? I swear on me mum...".
this is exactly why those degenerates were ok with the slap. they will condone violence to protect their egos

Me too. And I bet thermite paste was somehow involved. I hope Jesse Ventura investigates.
