After seeing everything about this I think I was wrong to agree with will Smiths actions. He didn't have to do Chris rock like that he could have just said what he said he didn't have to slap him. Someone put it like this... If it was 'The Rock' Not Chris Rock he wouldn't have slapped him. Also the joke was so mild I don't think it warranted Amy violence. I think my initial thought was I agree with "defending your wife" but I disagree how he decided to do that now.

I think he laughed initially because it didn’t register… then when he saw Jada get upset, it clicked…

Feel I should add this... He has a huge opportunity right now to salvage his good name. He needs to come out saying how much he has been struggling. He can set himself in good light being a role model for people to pull themselves out of whatever darkness they end up in

I can't figure out how to feel about it.
On the support side... standing up for your woman... broken by the burden of bullshit... hell he might have spent the last few years slowly building rage from the situations with his family.. but more importantly he just may be done with people viewing him as weak and that particular situation was the breaking point of "i'll show these mofos just how weak i am.. watch this and call me weak"
i wish it didnt happen though cuz ffs... think how many people heard joyner lucas' song and agreed how much of a role model HE IS. Like it or not the song lost all credit. thats just the tip of the iceberg.
At the end of the day... that situation probably happens every single day. If I saw that exact situation play out with normal people i'd support dude defending his girl so despite Will's status... I think I gotta be ok with it even though I don't like it.

The rumor I hear is that they worked together but never actually got along well. On the real scandalous side some people are tryin to say that Chris Rock messed around w/ Jada in the past when her and Will were younger and not completely together yet.

Jus saw the statement you posted on the Knight Talk channel from him & all I'm gonna say is LMAO ❗ Chris made a statement earlier like a Boss full of grace & here he comes in FULL DAMAGE CONTROL mode (after arguing on Twitter all day including wit me) personally I'm straight & I know most ppl gone feel da same 💯🤷♀️

its sad to see someone like will smith in this kind of situation. and the disrespect that he talks about in his speech is why you keep your private life private. when you decide to make your private life public you decide to handle everything that comes with that. the joke was not nearly as crazy as it could have been, and for a grown man to act like that is way out of pocket. then he goes on to apologize to the academy and not mention Chris's name at all. Lost a lot of respect for will after this unfortunately

This. Exactly this, and I'm glad you picked up on it...will was laughing HAPPILY at the joke until he looked at jadas face, and then he switched it up like a mf and was immediately upset and angry to the point of voice cracking and getting teary eyed. The thing is, with will talking about people "disrespecting" him, the person he needs to have a genuine fucking discussion on that with is JADA because there is notone single person on the PLANIT who has disrespected him the way that woman has. REPEATEDLY.

Nah i don’t think Will ruined shit. If anything he will probably gain from this. Don’t be surprised if Big Willie Style is doing sudden numbers next week and one of his movies will be in the top 10 most streamed movies. People forget about shit real quick. The list of legendary celebrities doing wild shit in public is looooong af. A couple of years from now Will will have some other blockbuster movies to his name and someone will say “yo remember when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars?” You’ll watch that clip again, have a laugh and that’s it.

I’m capable of separating the artist from the art so it wont affect my love for Will’s movies. It’s a wrong move indeed but he’s so rich and famous, it wont damage his career, just him receiving an oscar will be forgotten imo.
Otherwise, very entertaining.

Will was out of pocket I can see why he thought that was a good idea, but man I can't stand by what he did... He could have stayed sitting and yelled out what he said after he slapped him. Probably won't tarnish his legacy if he plays his cards right, but he started off wrong with his acceptance speech he said sorry to everyone except Chris which was a bad look. He just finally apologized to Chris. He was CTFU...SHEESH SMH! That Instagram apology was lacking...SMH. I thought they were friends with each other, but clearly they just associates 😂 How you going to slap him because people been talking about him being a SIMP and that joke was the last straw 🤔 get in the entire fuck outta here Will. He knows better and he should do better...sheesh. Big ups to Chris for his reaction. Why people trying to console Will when he was in the Wrong. Who the fuck went to see how Chris was doing after he got slapped in front of the world...sheesh SMH The only apology I'd take is for Will to let me slap the spark out his ass on Instagram live in front of the world like he did him then a handshake and a hug to squash that BULLSHIT...😂

Having an imagine that represent positivity and love like Will would be extremely wearing on someone’s mental health. Just imagine the constant stress and anxiety that he would endure on a daily basis due to the image he has created for himself over the last how ever many decades. That shit would be one of the most stressful situations I could think of for a celebrity..

People need to acknowledge the fact that Will is possibly unstable atm and needs help. I don’t see this as a career diminishing act I see a man crying out for help. This did not change my perspective on Will at all if anything I feel the need to want to help..

Will in the wrong on severel levels but ESP there..Chris was doing what comedians do & was doing his JOB ..Will knows the deal on both tips lmao..he going thru shit within hisself & his marriage which we all knew & been watching forever now..but why he took that shit out on the Oscar stage,live TV & him crazy asf..only gonna fuck him over lol..worse then Jada been doin💯

I think Chris Rock deserved some respect and the benefit of the doubt. Chris is a professional comedian, maybe not at the top of his game but he loves the craft of comedy. He never intended to insult anyone, like any comic at the professional level, he just wants people to laugh and have a good time. So Will was completely in the wrong, he should've gave Chris the benefit of the doubt and talked to him after the show back stage.
Jondiaz
2022-03-28 21:54:59 +0000 UTC
Not everything in the world is fake… Why would Will willingly (pun) participate in destroying his legacy like that? Unless the academy said, “hey we will give you the award if you do this to bring attention to our show” then maybe, but even if it was planned by will, didn’t seem like Chris rock was in on it.

I doubt Will planned the whole tearing up in the acceptance speech and having snot running out of his nose wasn't part of the plan. The Oscars actually had to block it out his face was such a mess, I doubt he wants to embarrass himself like that.

As Stevie said... Once they opened up their personal life to that level and all their problems, mainly in Jada side (the cheating and all that) she have been recieving a lot of criticism from everywhere and everybody and the same goes to Will, obviously they see and hear all that and that starts to build up... Many people believe/feel Chris joe was offensive and out of line because of Jada's condition, I dont see it that way I think it was a light joke that can make people laugh from your problems (thats the way I see life in general, like Kevin Hart said once Laugh at My Pain) BUT with so much stuff that have been said about them through a lot of time now that builds up and the moment Will saw how Jada reacted to that joke I think he just snapped and did what he did from pure raw emotion and said what he said as a point to show like "stop talking about my wife", does this hurt him? nah I dont think so, in any case he is a person and can react that way for me is totaly understandable and I think Chris understands it as well

Will once had such a fun, carefree rep (certainly with “The fresh prince” series, but even his rap, where he was kid-n-play silly and wouldn’t even curse. He had a wholesome rep…I wonder if he tries too hard to overcome that?!
Violence is rarely the answer. I’m surprised how many resort to it and very surprised someone like Will with his reputation and his career and financial success allows himself to do such a thing on such a stage.
I appreciate Stevie’s comments on it being sad and being a stain on his legacy. I hope Will gets the help he needs.

2022-03-28 18:13:38 +0000 UTC
I can't tell you how many people comment on and take the piss outta me and other men to our faces at work, out in town, on photos, shopping etc... About MPB and how weird it makes us look. It's all the time and always trying to make you feel shit.
I can tell you though that women have done this to me quite a bit more than men over the years so...
If her reaction would have been the same if Chris made a joke about a man going bald then fair she didn't deserve that attention BUT from experience I struggle to have sympathy any more when women get upset about hair loss unfortunately.
All that said though I don't know her so I'm not really judging either way, she may be the one who speaks up against pulling people down over their looks when she sees it 🤷 realistically they're just a couple who happened to be on camera and these days that could happen to any of us out in public so it's for them to deal with in my opinion.

Tbh I think it did both in different ways. It seems to me it's like 50/50 on who agrees and disagrees with what he did. And based on your opinion it either helped or hurt his reputation. But it's will Smith I think it didn't tarnish his legacy much and he will continue to do just fine and still be inspirational and a role model for millions of ppl.

If Jada would’ve laughed it off he wouldn’t have reacted that way, did you see her face? Was it a joke, yes. Did it warrant physical violence, no but you gotta be prepared for whatever when you disrespected someone’s wife, especially in public for the world to see. I totally see how Will reacted the way he did.
Robin Gibson

I don’t know if you can assume Chris rock didn’t know about the condition. All I know is the only thing I woulda did different if I was will smith is the first thing I woulda done when I walked up to him is whisper in his ear “you know she had a health condition that’s making her hair fall out?” And if his reaction was “oh shit I didn’t know my bad” and apologized, it would have been over. If he reacted any other way, my hand wouldn’t have been open and I wouldn’t have been leaning back when I did it either. I’d be following through. You making fun of a man’s wife’s health problems on stage, you can expect to get knocked the f out unless that man is a punk.

This actor is getting actors and comedians confused. Just because he takes orders on what to say every day of his life doesn't mean the guy he hits does. People try and tell comedians what joke not to tell all the time and it never works. Lucky he's rich so the cops don't do anything when he hits people in public.
