That seemed staged and to find out it wasn’t is a bit shocking
Mar 27th 2022

felt staged.. but Jada didn’t laugh at the joke so maybe Will
Mar 27th 2022
10
naw that wasnt staged at all
Mar 27th 2022
11

Mar 27th 2022
12
No. That was a massive L after 3 yrs of Ls
Mar 27th 2022

Mar 27th 2022
17

Mar 27th 2022
21

Mar 27th 2022
20
Yep, Will was LOLing while Jada was clearly not happy
Mar 27th 2022
23
I think it was staged
Mar 27th 2022
24
It seemed so because you would think a real punch/slap would
Mar 27th 2022
27
no blood, no bruise or scar
Mar 27th 2022
28
he slapped him not punched him
Mar 27th 2022

42
Largely an unfortunate misunderstanding
Mar 27th 2022
43
Agreed.
Mar 28th 2022
51
ok then why did he laugh at the joke initially then
Mar 28th 2022
57
because it was funny? Because that is what you do at award shows?
Mar 28th 2022
71
      That joke wasn’t funny. That was definitely a polite chuckle
Mar 28th 2022
238
Yeah his dumb speech made it worse.
Mar 28th 2022
67
Jada’s condition is not for jokes but
Mar 27th 2022
44
this is a pretty interesting insight
Mar 28th 2022
217
Wow!
Mar 27th 2022
45
Rock declined to press charges, but he could
Mar 28th 2022

      He won’t cause he know he was wrongg
Mar 28th 2022

           I didnt realize we had so many cancel vultures in here. Lmao
Mar 28th 2022

Mar 28th 2022
75
He’s gotta talk to rock afterward. Everyone is fair game at these thin...
Mar 28th 2022
52
i might look at this differently if he didn't laugh at the joke
Mar 28th 2022
55
      Yea I think you are right re: processing time, etc.
Mar 28th 2022
166
           I don't think Jada would've approved of him apologizing to Rock
Mar 28th 2022
174
                Yea that's a whole other discussion haha.
Mar 28th 2022

It's extremely relevant.
Mar 28th 2022
164
of course he wouldnt slap a woman.
Mar 28th 2022
115
I don't think it's much of a reach to suggest that
Mar 28th 2022
153
its a valid question. he knows where his bread is buttered

Mar 28th 2022

      That's actually a powerful line you wrote:
Mar 28th 2022
146
cuz it turns out Will is a Hollywood weirdo like the rest of them
Mar 28th 2022
120
the VERY first thing I thought about...
Mar 28th 2022
117
slapable offenses generally build up over years...people forget that..
Mar 28th 2022
124
you said he gave that man that accrued work, lol

What about Ricky Gervais and the Golden Globes
Mar 28th 2022

Can we stay on the subject?
Mar 28th 2022
135
No we can't, Buddy didn't crumble because I asked him a question
Mar 28th 2022

      Oh ok
Mar 28th 2022
152
he wasn't the host though, right?
Mar 28th 2022
141
This is correct, he wasn’t the host
Mar 28th 2022
148
So you side with Will Smith and Sean Penn.
Mar 28th 2022

I literally said, "Not an excuse for Will."
Mar 28th 2022

Speaking of racial hypotheticals, what if Brad Pitt slapped Rock.
Mar 28th 2022
145
he probably would've gotten slapped back lol
Mar 28th 2022
157
I wonder what the point of the hypotheticals are?
Mar 28th 2022

      If Will smacked Seinfeld or Degeneres his career would be OVER...

Mar 28th 2022
163
Will did appear to hold in a smile as he walked away
Mar 28th 2022
165
      Of course he smiled after, defending your manhood and lady feels good.
Mar 28th 2022
183
      Chris rock weighs about the same as Jada tho
Mar 28th 2022
185
           That's why he smacked him and not punched...a smack is a very deliberate
Mar 28th 2022
187
      I'm definitely leaning towards it being staged, but.........
Mar 28th 2022

She just has alopecia right?
Mar 28th 2022

I think if the joke was "lol @ your alopecia" it'd still be fucked up

Mar 28th 2022
203
                     Exactly
Mar 28th 2022
205
                     Gotcha. I misread it as being a sign of weakness or being white-like
Mar 28th 2022
211
                          I just think that isn’t the way the world works
Mar 28th 2022
225
      Exactly. I respect the hell out of Chris for rolling with it

The whole point of hosting shows like the Oscars, GG, and Espys
Mar 28th 2022
196
This might be a first but I 100% agree with everything you just said
Mar 28th 2022
206
lol that's not the point of the show
Mar 28th 2022
209
      ^^Right. I think folks don't get how seriously Hollywood takes the Oscar...
Mar 28th 2022
216
           It they took it that seriously Chris Rock wouldn't be the host.
Mar 28th 2022
218
           Both are true.. its a serious event but the roasting and joking IS part ...
Mar 28th 2022

Will Smith been going through alot publicly and transparently
Mar 28th 2022

of course he did

So I actually have Tickets to see Chris on Saturday,

Mar 28th 2022
243
what would be the motive for that though?
Mar 29th 2022
245
      the Oscars haven’t been this popular in 20 years
Mar 29th 2022
252
      But why would Will and Rock sign up to do THAT?
Mar 29th 2022
255
      exactly .and on this of all nights
Mar 29th 2022
287
           an award show that is suffering from ratings decline
Mar 30th 2022

he should have his oscar revoked and be banned from the oscars
Mar 29th 2022

      This is a perfectly level headed response.
Mar 29th 2022

      Revoking the Oscar opens up a can of worms
Mar 29th 2022

      an important distinction is he did it at the actual award event

He made himself look like a dumbass. Rock ate the slap and made a funny ass joke after. Will Smith is still a dumb cornball. He's achieved Super CornBall status now.

Does he stay for the entire ceremony now? That would be weird and awkward.

Will initially laughs at the joke and then decides that he needs to course correct and sucker punch/slap Rock. Which Rock takes in such stride that people assume that it was all staged.

Will better hope he wins tonight because if he doesn’t, he is never going to win now and may find it hard to get acting jobs after that.

They just gave him an Oscar. Not to be a lame but if any of us did that we'd be arrested or escorted out. He's having a mental breakdown.

Hit a comedian after they made a joke about them, they would be escorted out and possibly arrested.

If this is okay and people are cool with this, a trans person or someone dating a trans person can attend a Chappelle show and just hit him for not liking his trans joke, sit back down like nothing happened and the show just continues on? Not to make this about Chappelle and his trans jokes but just using that as an example.

Dave is also about 100 pounds of muscle heavier than Chris Rock. No one is trying that shit.

Pretty sure this is a once in a lifetime thing. I don’t expect any more comics to get slapped by anybody

Trophy or no trophy, this dude just took the L of all Ls.

From his overreaction to him not being able to even phase Chris (lol I'm crying) to him being ON VIDEO laughing until Jada wasn' thaving it to everything else dudes have pointed out in here.

Jada will post something about Pac inside of 3 days lol lol


Yeah, Will needs to go away for awhile.


But...you seem to like cornball, fake tough guy shit like this.

If Will didn't react at all? L
Overreact (debatable, but I personally think he overreacted)? L

The thing is this is all people are going to talk about, it's going to completely overshadow his win.

Years from now, people are still gonna think about this when they think about Will's Oscar win.

Knock Rock down or at least daze him. The fact that Rock didn’t stagger and kept his composure makes it seemed staged.

You would think Will would be strong enough to knock Rock down.

Will slapped him, and is in a fighting stance (I guess that Ali training paid off for him).

Someone further up posted the video too where you can see the uncensored words that were exchanged after.

IMO Rock likely didn’t know Jadas crewcut was due to a medical issue.

Smith in turn likely wouldn’t react that way to Rocks same joke if Jadas haircut were simply a haircut.

It reminds me of a story, of a man who meets a young girl seated on a couch with her dress billowed up, obscuring her legs, so he says playfully, hi little girl, where are your legs…and the girl actually has no legs and starts crying at his rudeness.

Of course Smiths narcissism came into play as well especially during that speech. How embarrassing. “I’m just like the Williams father, because I resort to violence quickly over words.”

I think if she chuckled he doesn’t react like that

but once Jada gave him that look he felt he had to do something.

To project that he has it all figured out and dude has turned out to be one of the messiest dudes out there.

Like he gets up there and makes a speech about how he is a river for God when it's really that he is dude who feels like he is a butt of jokes because his wife embarrassed him.

We will hear him for weeks describing it in flowery ornate language when it's really not that deep. It's the same messy shit that goes on in so many relationships.

In response to Reply # 47


          

You basically aligned yourself with the same crackas you tried to diss. Im assuming you will add Dave Chappelle, Ricky Gervais, Larry David, etc to the list of comedians you'd like to see physically assaulted because lame simps cant take a joke. Will Smith isnt some tough guy. He's an idiot that made himself look like a lame. I guarantee if The Rock or someone bigger had made that joke Will Smith would have sat his entanglement ass in the chair and not said a word.

In response to Reply # 72


          

Alot of comedians have been complaining for years that college students have gotten so "sensitive" that they don't do college tours anymore. Chappelle's been going through it with the transgendered community for a minute now and then there's everything swirling Joe Rogan (more about his podcast than his actual standup but he's still a comedian to me).

Most of the controversies with comedy have been about comedians "punching down" on oppressed people. Rock "punched up" and got slapped. :shrug:

172. "Physical assault in response to a form of speech."
In response to Reply # 162


          

"At a campaign rally in Las Vegas, Trump said of a protester, “I’d like to punch him in the face.” As security guards escorted the protester out of the rally, Trump mocked him, saying, “He’s smiling. Having a good time.” He then reminisced about being able to get away with violence: “There’s a guy, totally disruptive, throwing punches. We’re not allowed to punch back anymore. I love the old days. You know what they used to do to guys like that when they were in a place like this? They’d be carried out on a stretcher, folks.” Trump also called the protester “nasty as hell.” CNN reported that the man did not appear to fight with the security guards taking him outside."

the left is the side that has been looking for any slip up or word that will show a comedian is an ogre/racist/homophobe/etc

This is just Will trying to get his balls back after one too many jokes at his wife’s expense


I think Rock shitting on Jada at the Oscars when they boycotted is prolly why he snapped.. along with all that other shit with Jada. I think he was in Hollywood mode and laughed initially and then was like “oops, totally forgot that shit Jada said about Rock and his jokes”

Did you know? It seems like you didn’t.

I had no idea, I just assumed she kept her hair short because she wanted to keep it short and it wasn’t due to a health issue.

A lot of people are just assuming Chris Rock knew she had a health issue, I don’t think Rock knew.

particularly older black women. cuz the hair just gets naturally thinner with age and hormonal changes. and then the additional effects from years of hair styling, treatments, chemicals, etc.

Lost my mom to breast cancer. I still laugh at cancer jokes and so did she. Comedy is comedy and nothing is off limits. If we decided to moderate comedy, comedy would just die. Seeing people equate hair loss to some other supposed "off limits" diseases make me angry as fuck.

So black and white people are both taking this to a ridiculous level. She tried to compare Jada Pinkett and Ketanji Brown Jackson because of the importance of hair on the public stage for black women. Shit is not that deep. It was a joke.

Learning the reason for her hair definitely makes the anger make sense, except he clearly laughed at the joke.

I’m really not with anyone trying to shit on his role in their relationship, or shitting on him for defending her. But he definitely shouldn’t have done it at that time, or in that way.

If anything, he needed to talk to him about it afterward.

In response to Reply # 52


  

          

its possible, maybe even likely, that he didn't initially get that the joke was about her hair, and was just kinda laughing along politely, and it came to him, when he saw Jada's reaction, however for such a reaction, he would then have to assume that Rock knows she has a condition and is choosing to mock it.. and i don't think he had enough processing time to get there, so it seems he just overcompensated, because HE knows he has a condition and he knows he just fucked up

Plus if his whole thing is just 'keep my wife's name out your mouth', period... yeah that doesn't play either because again, he was laughing. (that's just shit you say in the moment tho)

obv he handled this thing badly, and its funny because if i had to guess, the three of them will hash this out, but it's all gonna take on a life of its own, with everything from a billion think pieces, scold tweets, and anti cancel culture stuff...with everyone from the view to ben shapiro needing to weigh in.. the whole gamut

Lot of people, myself included for a brief moment, were hammering him for laughing at first but your point about it possibly being simply a product of his being polite, processing, then reacting puts that part of the situation into the proper perspective IMO.

And I think you're also right that the above can be true, while the "he overreacted" responses to the whole thing can also be true. I stand in that line.

But ... his processing fell short when he won the oscar a half hour later and didn't apologize to CR lol. I'm sure they'll hash it out but he had enough time by then to realize he'd fucked up and should've at least acknowledged Rock in his otherwise-brutal speech.

once a nigga decides to make it work, they'll defend it from all threats, foreign or domestic. They can't risk having it backslide.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

persona just playing along, almost to the point that the actual joke didn’t register, until he saw his wife’s reaction and that broke his public persona to the point that he overreacted the other way with the slap action.

And even then, I think his public persona immediately kicked in, knowing he’d overreacted, so the damage control response was “keep my wife’s name out your…” even though he’d initially laughed at the joke.

but I can't see Chris Rock wanting to sit down, have to bite his tongue to avoid any emotional land mines from Jada and Will's perspectives, and give Jada Smith content for her Facebook show.

I have to think he'll get his jokes off about the incident when he does decide to make a public comment about the incident on his terms and move on.

so I think seeing her leave really put him into “gotta do something” mode

That's pretty much what i've learned from this thread and looking at twitter today.

Slapping a comedian is cancel culture. Advocating for assaulting an entertainer on stage for a joke is some Trump shit. Dumb people will ABSOLUTELY try to imitate what Will Smith did if a comedian attempts to make fun of them. "Pulling a Will Smith." The Oscars are dumb hypocrites for letting him just chill and enjoy the rest of the show AND let him go up and give a dumb rambling speech about love.

and according to an early report, Will Smith was dancing the night away at a post-awards show while holding onto his Oscar.

That, on top of everything else, is some weirdo behavior IMO.

I also find it strange behavior. I know he was up for an Oscar but how he didn't just leave after smacking Chris is beyond bizarre. How did he put that shit behind him THAT fast that he stayed to get his award and then dance and sing with random people afterwards. And these same people are singing and dancing right along with him, standing ovations and shit.

The fuck is going on?

Did anybody even bother to check on Chris? lol, the fuck?

Hollywood is just too weird man.

The amount of back flips they are doing trying to co-sign what Will Smith did because its Jada Pinkett, while keeping their toxic masculinity podium adding a sentence at the end.

WTF is no one worried about him? There were no reports of him being "consoled" during breaks or anyone at the Oscars offering any support for him and he was the person who got slapped in the face on national TV.

This among everything else just shows where we are as a society. I hope comedians continue to rally around him. That was some bullshit.

....so far Lil Rel has weighed in on IG live and basically said CR wasn't funny and jive brought it on himself.

I wonder how many comics that have acting gigs will side with Will so as not to fuck up their bag vs. those who say they are about the art and will defend Chris.

But yeah, I really want to know what happened to Chris after he left the stage. I wonder if he went to any of the parties afterward or just went home.

another comic thinks a subjectively bad joke merits someone interrupting an awards show to get smacked in the face.

That's such a wrong take for so many reasons from another comic, but I suppose that's just my subjective opinion on the matter.

That's a live show
He just got embarrassed in front of his peers and broadcast to the world

That's pretty f'd up...for what amounted to a joke that fell flat

I was curious about that as well but GI Jane goes hand in hand with being a female version of GI Joe. So people may not get the exact movie reference but they get the idea of the reference. Military shaved head, GI Joe, GI Jane. My students thought it was funny.

or a woman? I think we know the answer to that. he probably also woundn't have do it to Katt, Ced, Steve, Wayne Brady.

He knew Chris aint the fighting type, especially while he was working. Will still a coward, just like he said in his book.

Let Hugh Jackman go up there and make that joke. Will would have sat there and talked about it later on Red Table while August bangs his wife some more.

For making fun of him. You're on the wrong side if you think the right aren't the ones that want comedians to shut up. Will Smith was on his Fox News with that bullshit. Him being black is what is making you think its the other way around.

And they'll be referencing this event for a long long time and inflating the importance of it, all the while showing video tape of two of the most respected black actor/comedians of the last 30 years involved as what they'll characterize as the normalization of black on black crime by the liberal elites.

It's a shit show.

(It's not like the right wouldn't just make something up if this didn't happen - but this is in HD - maybe even 4k.)

Why this didn't surprise me: Will Smith has been so rich and so famous for so long and is talking that (crazy to me) self help and enlightenment talk that *I feel* (without evidence) that it's a scam people run on themselves as a coping mechanism to actually suppress stuff.

A single slap here isn't the end of the world.
Will looks like he can't control his emotions.
The academy looks stupid for not ejecting him.

I'd watch a series where they all go to counseling and talk it out.

Just too mean spirited in his jokes for people who didn't come to see him.

Not an excuse for Will.

I do GAF about people moving goalposts though. Not every fucking argument has to be "what if they were white? or white people did it too" We need a better measuring stick than that when talking AMONGST OURSELVES. That's my fucking point. Can't we just fully discuss something before it immediately goes into the white curve.

And I am a person who loves roasts. Difference there is people sign up for it. It's what people come to see. Same with correspondence dinner.

But this just doesn't seem like the right format.

And there are ways to make fun of people that isn't necessarily mean spirited humor.


The Oscar room also seems like the weirdest room too. Like the room will go along with anything that is going on stage and laugh or support without knowing what they are doing. Like the way they gave Roman Polanski a standing ovation.

147. "I'm kinda for making fun of these people MORE"
In response to Reply # 137


  

          

a lot of these people take themselves way too seriously. if they can't laugh at themselves for a few seconds in a setting where they're spending hours congratulating each other, i think its says a lot.

i'm speaking in generalities of course. there's always a line.

but, I think that's more of the setup, with the GG. He and other hosts even roast the Hollywood Foreign Press and it's their joint.

151. "So you side with Will Smith and Sean Penn."
In response to Reply # 128


  

          

If memory serves me correct, Sean Penn wanted to run down Chris Rock over some Jude Law jokes when Chris Rock actually hosted the Oscars years ago.

I wonder how close Sean Penn got to actually being close enough to run Chris Rock down.

then brought it up when he presented. it was corny as hell.

i had heard they squashed it behind stage though. I never heard Penn wanted to fight him or anything like that though

In response to Reply # 128


          

They hired Chris Rock to be edgy for the Oscars because people complained about the vanilla-ness of it. He was just doing what they asked. I dont think he's a hurtful person. Even Gervais isnt as "viscous" as his Globes hosting. They're just doing what was asked. "Hey make it super edgy."

If white guy smacks black guy, the blow back would be worst.

If black guy smacks white guy, social media outrage might be less but career blowback might be worst.

If black guy smacks, woman, definitely bad all around.

If black woman, smacks guy. Not as bad social media, probably very bad career wise.

If white woman smacks black guy, bad social media, maybe not so much career wise.


I could be wrong but what does any of it prove or mean?

163. "CAUGHT ON TAPE: Chris Rock Backstage After Being Slapped :-/"
In response to Reply # 0
Mon Mar-28-22 11:30 AM by CHASE SwAyZe

  

          

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGmZRWb4aj0

Post-Fight Thoughts:

1. He wouldn't have slapped Jerry Seinfeld (Career gone.)
2. Or Ellen (Hate Crime, "Domestic" Violence, Career gone.)
3. Or THE Rock (Ass totally kicked.)
4. Damn, why it gotta be two Black Men? :-/
5. "When Keepin' It Real Goes Wrong" #WWPD (What Would Pac Do?)
6. I didn't hear a "slap sound" though (Just a "Mic Bump") Hmm...
7. Did Will's hand ever *Really* connect? #SloMoCamNeeded #ALIthough :-/
8. Why they both smiling and how did Rock never rub his face?
9. They're both actors so it's probably "staged" (Will "laughed" at the joke at first...)
10. We gonna be talking about this shit for years.......

Assuming it's real, I think once Will saw Jada's face and heard the crowd's reaction, he was immediately thrown into a "Damn, I'm Never Gonna Live This Down If I Don't Get Gangsta" moment -- Which was further amplified by Rock's Oscar jokes on *Both* of them years ago. Will probably feels like he's always been living in Pac's Shadow and didn't wanna hear Jada's Mouth later, so he probably felt like "Damned if I do, Damned if I don't......" (But Damn, even *SUGE* didn't slap a n!gga at The Source Awards........) :-/

They flirted with the organization and are pretty close to other celebs who are in it. I think some of that weird, spacey, philosophical stuff they talk about may even have Scientology roots.

But they are not full-fledged, all-in Scientologists.

Pressure bust pipes man. I think we're going to see more and more of this too.

The think pieces are all over the place today and it really just comes down to a man doubling down on his decisions to ride out a very public and very open messy marriage. It's not for us to judge their love but they opened themselves up to the commentary (or comedy depending on your level of fuck it).

Im black and i teach at a school for at risk black teenagers and the amount of fights and MURDERS we have that have literally started over words is mind boggling. That mentality you have is one of the reasons black violence and death is at such a high level. Its not tough to do the shit he did and its not white people shit to not resort to violence if someone isn't physically attacking you. You're a moron.

The concept should be don't talk reckless to people who have the ability to physically assault you.

the key word is STARTED. you can't blame somebody for how they react.

I'm not saying Will is 100% right, but when Will finally snaps at jokes that you participated in, you can't go "violence isn't the answer" after niggas spent the last few years laughing at his expense

"Hey man i'm not on that white people shit. They were talking reckless so i turned it from a verbal confrontation to a physical confrontation. It's cool though, OKP said that's the black thing to do."

I take martial arts and teach my kids to defend themselves. In no world will i teach them "its some white people shit if you dont punch someone that is saying something mean to you."

Absolutely dumb logic. Mind boggling dumb, actually.

What I said was you can't blame somebody for how they react. Joking on Will and his situation was fair game but when he get fed up and react niggas is up in arms.

He could have took it on the chin like Chris did. Or he could have did what he did today. It's up to him to deal with what comes. But YOU can't throw rocks at a beehive and then denounce them for stinging you

I have HUGE respect for you and the work you do and fundamentally, I agree with what you are saying, in regards to just attacking folk...BUT, you (not you, specifically) cannot and should not expect that everyone else lives by the same creed. It's super possible that something reckless you say, could get your jaw tapped. I have two sons and that's what I teach them. Keep your hands to yourself and don't go around talking slick, because someone could go in your mouth or worse, over just words. Protect yourself at all times (c)Mills Lane...but, don't go looking for shit.

talk about a man’s wife and all bets are off.

Not saying Will is right but he straight clowned Jada at 2 Oscar awards.

Back in the day my crew had to go to juvenile court for punching a white classmate who was talking reckless about a friends dead parent. His mom told a room full of Black parents his kid can say whatever he wants.. all our parents were like “and he can get phucked up too”

I actually think Chris Rock is one of the most down-to-earth people in Hollywood. He's like a regular person who happens to be famous, understand the concept of everyday, working class people feeling completely separate from the "rich" and seems to relate more to the former. Will doesn't seem like that kind of person to me. He's disconnected. This is why he'll say shit like "just make a decision and your life will change." Whereas Chris Rock would say something along the lines of your bills not stopping because of a decision.

I say that to say them niggas not about to kick it like that over beers. Will gon talk some fake deep spiritual shit about the power of love and healing and Chris gon talk the reality of his jaw healing from that slap.

In response to Reply # 0

is to too roast the audience. Everyone knows that.

What Will Smith did was unprofessional and inhumane, and he deserves
a serious asswhooping.

You don’t slap or touch someone over an award show, especially an
award show that is designed to poke fun at its members.

The Oscars used to be a show and award of substance, but now its
just as insignificant as all the other award shows.

Slapping a man is a very demeaning act, and it is worse than a punch.
Much respect to Chris Rock for continuing on with the show, and making sure
that Questlove was properly honored.

If I were an entertainer I would best the shit out of him for Chris. A dude focked
your wife in your own bed, and you did nothing but look like a punk at a red
table....

Hosts/MCs have always roasted or made fun of stars at award shows...

That was Joan Rivers entire routine when hosting award shows.


Here is Steve Martin and Baldwin roasting Meryl Streep at the oscars
about having threesomes and hitler memorabilia. ...Yeah, because
“white people take the oscars seriously”...lol

https://youtu.be/kBZj7qIOAE8

They even made fun of Lebron’s hairline last night at the Oscars.


You guys probably never heard of Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Don Rickles,
Carol Burnett, etc.....master roasters.

People love to make up stuff to support their narrative in this era.

for Questlove.

I am so reminded when they won the Grammy, Moby said something slick that kind of distracted from the moment.

I didn't watch 15's speech until this morning and it was deeply genuinely moving and got me misting up (and was so much more honest then WIll Smith's emotional speech).

I think its a brand worth embracing though, dudes have been quietly doing great things and building a tremendous legacy while all these stars around them might be more visible but burn out well before they do.

The Daily Beast

‘The View’s’ Sunny Hostin Calls Out Will Smith’s ‘Toxic Masculinity’

Matt Wilstein

Mon, March 28, 2022, 12:37 PM


The hottest topic in the country was also the number one “Hot Topic” on The View Monday morning. But not all of the co-hosts agreed about how much blame Will Smith deserved for smacking comedian Chris Rock in the face on live television during the Oscars.

Moderator Whoopi Goldberg, a former Oscar winner and host, reserved her judgment on the incident until the end of the show’s opening segment, ceding the stage to her co-hosts, including Joy Behar, whose first reaction was, “Comedians are in danger everywhere.”

Ana Navarro and Sunny Hostin took the situation even more seriously, calling Smith’s actions what they were.

“Hitting somebody is a crime, it is the crime of assault on national TV,” Navarro said. As “lame” as Rock’s joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s lack of hair (due to alopecia) might have been, she added, “nothing—nada—zero condones violence in this form.”

“I was embarrassed for Will, I was horrified for Chris Rock,” Hostin added, noting that Smith apologized to the Academy and his fellow nominees, but not the man he hit. “I thought Chris was the one that deserved an apology for taking the high road.”

“I think Will was immature, I think he was childish and he was violent,” she continued. “That’s something we tell our children not to do, our children would be suspended from school for doing something like that.”


Hostin ultimately called Smith’s actions a “show of toxic masculinity,” suggesting that the actor may have “felt emasculated” by the jokes that host Regina Hall made at the expense of his marriage earlier in the show as well. “That is not a show of love,” she said, quoting Smith’s acceptance speech, “this is a show of violence.”

Goldberg meanwhile, appeared to be making some excuses for Smith’s behavior, noting that his anger had obviously “built up” after many years of jokes about his family. “I think he overreacted,” she said. “I get it. Not everybody acts the way we would like them to act under pressure. Some people just snap, and he snapped.”

At the same time, she said it was “remarkable” and “wonderful” that Rock “did not take it to that other place it could have gone,” adding, “I don’t know if they spoke or apologized or not. All I know is sometimes you get to a point and you behave badly. I myself have behaved badly on occasion.”

And when Hostin said she was “surprised” Smith “was not escorted out” and instead received a semi-standing ovation when he won his first Oscar—and wondered aloud if the Academy will let him keep his award, Goldberg pushed back.

“We’re not going to take that Oscar from him,” Goldberg said, apparently speaking for the Academy. “There will be consequences I’m sure, but I don’t think that’s what they’re going to do, particularly because Chris said, ‘Listen, I’m not pressing any charges.’”

He can go sit in his guilt for a little while. It’s high time he figures out how worth it his sham marriage really is, because it ruined the biggest night of his professional life.

245. "what would be the motive for that though?"
In response to Reply # 243


  

          

i side eyed what appeared to be a kind of holding-it-in smirk on his face when he walked way after the slap but..

why on the night where he's about to receive the highest honor of his acting career would Will smith decide to pull a WWE stunt?

one that makes him... a guy who's pretty universally liked, look pretty terrible

and then all but spoil/soil such important moments for Quest, and the William's sisters.

Chris Rock can suddenly act?

I know a lot of people are saying this is fake but haven't seen any logic behind it other than people saying it looks fake.

252. "the Oscars haven’t been this popular in 20 years"
In response to Reply # 245


          

but some reasons I thought/think it might be fake..

its great publicity for the Oscars

It ruins the moment for Richard Williams recognition

It ruins the first Black produced Oscars

It WOULD be easy to fake a slap but I just think it would've been such a dumb thing to plan by 2 people that have been so calculated with their careers (particularly Will) that it has to be genuine.

this shit was staged.

When I look at the vide and the breakdown it doesn’t add up.

Rock has his hands behind his back the whole time and then LEANS IN before the smack.

Then Will walks back calmly with a smirk knowing Rock won’t retaliate? Shit was staged.

and why would they do it? Because its Hollywood.

Will helped stage something that basically said fuck Quest, fuck the Williams family, and fuck Will Smith because it will dominate the news for a few days, and Hollywood is cliquey?

Esp When you consider the history of stand up. The environment we are in now deems this act itself not that big a deal I guess.

It feels like we are headed down a dark path with especially stand up comedy. I’ll let you make your own grim predictions on the precedent being set here.

In response to Reply # 253


          

After they let him remain in the audience, chill for rest of the show, accept an award, danced at the after parties, and allowed him to give rambling five min speech. Oscars have major decisions to make. People are making excuses for Will Smith but the stand up comics, outside of a couple, seem to be in agreement on how fucking ridiculous it is that nothing was done during or after.

In response to Reply # 254


          

including any future consideration for any awards.

i dont know if it should be indefinitely or for like 10 years but it should be pretty substantial.

im not even someone who is all up in arms with the hot takes and reaches invoking domestic violence against women or potential manslaughter or whatever.

but they have to set a clear precedent. you just cant hit someone at the show. especially coming up on stage and hitting the host. that should be the biggest no no in the code of conduct (and probably one they never expected to ever have to address).

I'm not one of those "but he could have killed him with that punch" either. But i agree, you have to set the standard of "you cannot walk on stage and physically hit a presenter." I know we live in weird times after the Trump years but we cant just become numb to crazy shit.

In response to Reply # 264


          

I think a fair punishment I've seen mentioned is not letting Will present next year (winner's usually get to present an award the following year).

Or ban him from the show for a couple years.

I'd assume anything he creates in the future is going to get quietly disregarded for a long time.

But you start stripping Oscars for THIS and you're going to have to explain why slapping a host is more egregious than using your power in the industry to harass, intimidate and rape women.

Like somehow the integrity of the show is more important than the integrity of the industry the show celebrates.

That's a pretty good summation. I had a problem with the Oscar committee taking the award away at first because they still gained viewership from having Will accept the award and give his speech, but him violating the standards while the show took place should be reason enough to give him whatever punishment they deem acceptable.

I have to think the folks behind the scenes completely hate how much the smack is overshadowing anything and everything that took place on Sunday.

seems more appropriate IMO.

If they'd denied Will in the moment, I still wouldn't have agreed but I could understand a snap emotional decision against him for making an emotional decision himself.

After the fact, I think you have time to be more nuanced and find the appropriate punishment.

"they have security at comedy clubs for stuff like this."


          

hecklers and people getting mad and approaching the stage has been baked into the game for a while now.

especially the black standup comedy scene.

theres plenty of stories/footage of people getting roughed up or knocked out tryna step to a performer.

Major venues - Staples Center, etc. or for A-list comics where they take phones - yes, there's security as there would be at a music venue.

But comedy clubs? Nope. No security. At best you have a comedian who works there to get spots - and they don't get paid to intervene with a fan who rushes the stage.

267. "fam this has been a tradition for generations."
In response to Reply # 263


          

the stuffy/uppity hollywood celebs get their egos knocked down for one night with a good roasting.

99% of the jokes everyone laughs.

like 1 person every few years makes news for getting their panties in a bunch.

nobody ever slaps the fucking comedians lol.

we dont need to throw the baby out with the bath water because 1 person lost his composure.

272. "Yeah. That's why Gervais and Rock are hired."
In response to Reply # 268


          

Everybody knows its ridiculous with the amount of award shows or hollywood giving themselves awards. The reaction to the boredom was to start hiring comedians that dont give a shit and will roast the audience. Ricky Gervais was BRUTAL and no one came on the fucking stage. Will Smith is just a weirdo trapped in a toxic relationship.

In response to Reply # 253


  

          

Like I don't think anyone at any time, thought he was in any real danger, even Chris Rock after getting slapped.


I've been smacked by a grown man after something I said in like the last 3 years. Ended a friendship but never thought I was in serious harms way , did not think to get the police involved, and I am not walking around scared of dude.

I think the idea that this makes it NOW open season on Comedians is doing too much.

311. "There is a changing cultural attitude toward stand up "
In response to Reply # 265


  

          

The space that stand up comedians have historically occupied is… undergoing a change. That’s the crux of my personal concern here.

I agree that Rock was never in any real danger. But the concern is bigger than this singular incident. Stand up comedy happens in Venues across this country every day.

I see nothing that would stop an audience member at one of these smaller venues from doing the same thing will did.

The Columbia incident with Nimesh Patel comes to mind: https://youtu.be/tcICkrR6AYY


RIP Lenny Bruce

yesterday. from i wish someone would run up and slap the hell out of _____, to things like youre next bitch!

and while the idea of ChiChi_so_much LUV (they/them) from twitter actually, buying chappelle tickets and trying to run up on Dave on stage, seems pretty far fetched, there are a handful of people who get egged on by shit like this, especially if they think they have so much support.

Racists are gonna be racist regardless. We gotta stop being so concerned with what white folks think, as if they're the arbiters of decency.

Bed-Stuy almost came out, but like it was said years of doing stand-up made him a quick thinker on his feet, also Will quickly turned and walked away, initially it probably wasn't clear if the attack would continue

In response to Reply # 314


  

          

If Chris knew about Jada's alopecia and her feelings about it, and made the joke anyway, that's (IMO) out of pocket and unnecessarily cruel.

If Chris—like me and many others—didn't know about her condition, he made a lame joke about her haircut. Given the situational context of the celebrity roast-fest Oscars, I don't think that's a slappable offense.

Because Will acted in the moment and spoke with his hands first, he didn't have time to confront Chris and find out whether further action was warranted.

In response to Reply # 329


  

          

"a joke about my wife's medical condition was too much for me to bear"(after i stopped laughing)

but the joke wasn't "Jada hair all falling out, looking like GI Jane and shit"

it was a joke referencing an attractive woman who willingly shaved her head do do badass shit.

i think because Jada has been open about it they just assume everyone knows

We don't know what Chris knew, but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt and assuming he wasn't aware of Jada's alopecia. I could certainly be wrong about that. The point is, give a motherfucker the opportunity to be wrong before you go pulling out your dueling gloves and shit.

In response to Reply # 332


  

          

Jada in that interview posted above saying she dgaf what people think like she's taking it in stride. Willow shaved her head as well.. it's possible he knew that and was like "Go on, GI Jane"

but the "making fun of alopecia" narrative that a lot of people (including the Smiths) are running with seems really unlikely imo

In response to Reply # 334


          

He was just making a short hair cut joke. Possibly a bad ass female, like GI Jane, short hair joke. But it helps people make an excuse for Will Smith being a moron simp because they've never liked Chris Rock and want to accuse him of making a disease joke. It's lame revisionism.

QUOTE: "Black people are conditioned to believe that we deserve respect, admiration, and recognition of our humanity based only on good behavior. But Smith’s overreaction does not reflect on anyone but him, and the suggestion that our community should feel any measure of collective shame is completely misguided. Nor should we feed into the dehumanizing stereotype that Smith’s conduct is typical for Black people."

if true, this makes me even more upset.

No memory of images of positive Black males are going to be remembered at this years Oscars.

Just Will and Rock.

not to elevate Will and Rock but to overshadow all the other great things Black people were doing that night.

and it happen right before Quest got his award.

Go back a couple decades when Marlon Brandon sent the Native American to protest, she said in an interview they had six security men holding John Wayne back from trying to get at her.

https://www.thefocus.news/culture/john-wayne-sacheen-littlefeather/

I know Will was in the audience and in the front but even after the slap Will was still there and went to after parties, like he knew nothing would happen.

I will say the barking is what made me think it wasn’t fake..

but the actual slap never looked natural. The way Rock chilled and stepped towards Will while exposed gives it away.

anything is possible, but I don't get fake from that slow mo. what I do get is that it was a weak ass slap. my guess is that was probably intentional so as not to hurt the dude, but to just send a message.

Chris Rock's face often looks like he is bracing to get slapped, I'll give you that.

But why did he keep his hands behind his back? Who keeps their hands behind their back as someone runs up on you??

I dunno.

I don't think the show staged it, but maybe it was something between Will and Chris to try and make Will look like a tough guy or some shit.

Even though it accomplished the exact opposite IMO

On the other hand, Chris really seemed like he bit his tongue on unloading on this cornball and he isn't a good actor.

Weird.

It's Will Smith. They have a professional relationship at the very least and they at the Oscars. Chris didn't think he was a threat. Neither did I when I saw him go up there.

If it was a nigga on the street it would have been a whole lot different

the only thing that gave me pause was the smirk as he walked off... but again, this is a super easy thing to stage, but it makes no sense on Will's part... or Chris for that matter.

ppl watching this like the plane hitting the pentagon lol

and Will was able to stay at the show and won an award like 15 minutes later.

Dude slaps the shit out of Rock and then prolly had 3X as many eyes on his acceptance speech.

No one came to assist Rock or to usher Will off. Just kept the show going like nothing happened and THAT is normal to yall?

dude is dancing with his trophy after the show and taking photos and shit.

cmon

because people are gonna tune in and social media and the View are gonna talk bout it all week!

rather than a dude got mad at a joke when his wife looked at him in and overreacted... nah no way.

you're not thinking clearly, bro

In response to Reply # 346


          


I don't have time to respond to everyone but essentially-


I'm only pointing out that I do think it is odd that Chris kept his hands behind his back the entire time.

Maybe I'm a nervous guy or some shit, but I make a joke about your wife and you unexpectedly walk on stage...I'm at least bracing for a "why I oughta!" type thing.

Just standing there with your hands behind your back seems extremely unnatural to me.


Ultimately I think its real because Chris clearly wanted to unload the clip of jokes and held back.


I just think Will is enough of an insecure weirdo to set this up with Chris to look tough..esp to Jada.

Either he is a fucking weirdo who set up a fake slap to fake defend his wife OR

he is a fucking weirdo who overreacted to the situation, and produced a slap that didn't even phase Chris Rock who is probably what... a buck 50? lol


Either way, Will is a lame ass weirdo.

.. and being friendly with him. Also, it was an internationally televised event. Also, Will laughed at the joke at first and I assume Rock noticed that, because he was looking right at them. So the combination of all those things may have led Rock to believe that Will was walking onto the stage to make a spectacle in good fun, or something.

Will, to my knowledge, isn't typically a confrontational dude (despite the clip from 2012 making the rounds of him smacking the journalist who tried to kiss him .. which to my mind is understandable haha) and Rock likely knows him well enough to think the same, having been around him for decades. So I'd imagine that Rock's *last* thought was that Will was walking up there to smack him upside the head.

I never thought it was staged. Doesn't even really make sense on any level.

386. "It's a dumb question. "
In response to Reply # 385
Thu Mar-31-22 10:07 AM by Cold Truth

  

          

You've asked twice, and each time, the question is framed in a way that implies that you think people already thought that it's normal.

Nobody thinks it's normal.
Nobody has even suggested or implied that it was normal.

So it's just, you know, a dumb question to ask when nobody is saying this.

To be fair, I know that I'm not dealing with a person who reaches reasonable conclusions.

I don't really think he was 'defending' his wife. seems more like trying to save face to look like he was defending her. Either way, insecure weirdo is a good description.

Perhaps in Will's mind he was defending Jada, but I agree that the slap may have been more about defending his own sense of manhood and not "looking like a punk," especially given the public emasculation and ridicule he's been subjected to for the past few years.

At what point does Jada defend Will? She's remained silent this entire time as Will takes blame. This incident can cost Will his career but he finds himself seemingly alone.

His career is done at the upper echelon and now he comes to grips with the fact he doesn't have power at the real table. Will about to suffer for a whole decade.

Comedians coming out in full support
News coming out that Will Smith refused to leave (cause he's full of shit)
Video of jada laughing and not even looking in her husbands direction, further proving she is toxic and also full of shit

Good! If you dont like a joke handle it like a professional after the show or on the side stage. You dont walk on stage in front of a live and world audience, hit someone in the face, and turn your back and enjoy the rest of the show like an entitled simp asshole.

earlier this morning, Chris Rock did a stand show last night. He got a huge standing ovation from the crowd and brushed away tears from his eyes.

Pretty interesting response from a stand-up veteran like Chris Rock. I suppose that means the slap, along with the support he got from the crowd meant a great deal to him.

His response to the incident when he decides to speak on it in full should be quite interesting.

"It’s the three seconds of tape that only Academy bosses have seen. Crucial unseen video showing what Jada Pinkett Smith said to Will Smith in the seconds before he charged the Oscars stage and slapped Chris Rock is central to the Academy of Motion Pictures’ investigation— but has yet to be publicly released, Radar has learned."

In response to Reply # 397


          

they see public opinion turning against the smiths and theyre gonna milk that cow as long as they can.

just a constant drip feed of leaks, allegations, anecdotes, etc.

anything/everything that paints them as assholes, weirdos, deviants, etc.

if will was pissed about people shitting on him before...he just gave all of them a ton of new mileage.

this shit was a gold mine.

about this whole mess is that this kicked off because Will overreacted in wanting to defend Jada Pinkett's name and shaved head. Now folks are chomping at the bit to kick more dirt on her strictly because of actions he took.

that folks that work for the Academy are releasing drips and drabs of information before they make their final decision on how to penalize Will so that his name is tarnished enough in the eye of public opinion so that their punishment looks like a fair one.

Not that I'm excusing Will of what he did, but it's interesting how all these backstage angles and such are coming to light when the Academy could have nipped the situation in the bud by booting Will from the arena when the incident occurred Sunday night.

I wonder whether the ppl involved in this decision-making knew that Will was going to win and whether that played any part in the decision not to remove him.

There is no way in hell the Academy would ever be able to explain away the double standard if they punish him with anything more severe than a reprimand.

421. "what an awkward position to be in"
In response to Reply # 419


  

          

he was was pretty much the frontrunner to win, so it's like, what happens then?

and it's probably also a thing where people are thinking ahead and no one wants to be the one who made the call to throw him out. like what if the ultimate narrative skewed towards Will and not Chris.

plus once he refused, do they want to make ANOTHER big scene by physically forcing him out... even off camera. No one wants to be the decider in all this.

those conversations seem kinda hilarious. shit probably played out like a comedy sketch in real time.

In response to Reply # 421


  

          

Like night of Will got a Standing O in the room.

Just a couple of days later sentiment is shifting hard against Will.

And you can just feel the Hollywood crowd trying to be on the right side of it. It's the reason so many have been silent on it.

Will needs to seek out Chris private and have a sit down with him and apologize, and then leak that to the press.

426. "they lying about asking him to leave lol"
In response to Reply # 421


          

everyone is trying to save face.

https://www.tmz.com/2022/03/31/academy-lied-asking-will-smith-to-leave-oscars-slap-chris-rock/?adid=share-tw


Will Smith was NEVER asked to leave the Oscars after he slapped Chris Rock. In fact, the opposite is true -- he was told by the producer of the show he could stay ... this according to sources with direct knowledge who were present.

As you know by now, the Academy said Wednesday they had asked Will to leave the Dolby Theater after the slap but he refused. Three sources who were at the ceremony and witnessed various conversations tell TMZ ... yes, after the slap Academy officials were backstage with Will's reps and there were heated conversations about what had gone down.

We're told there was a split among the officials ... some did want him booted, but others did not. There were various discussions during several commercial breaks, but they never reached a consensus.
TAKIN' NO DISRESPECT
ABC

We're told Will was aware there was talk about asking him to leave the theater. During one of the commercial breaks, we're told Oscars producer Will Packer walked up to Will and said, "We do not want you to leave" ... this according to our sources.

Will Packer walked up to Will Smith just after 8 PM, around 35 minutes after the slap. That's when he told Will he could stay, according to our sources. Will won the Best Actor Award around 5 minutes later.
I'M A PROTECTOR
ABC

It's interesting ... the Academy's first statement about the incident never even mentioned Will Smith by name. As the day went on and outrage grew, the Academy became more aggressive and went in hard on Smith, saying he took an aggressive stance and refused to leave.

428. "VARIETY: Will Smith resigns from the Academy"
In response to Reply # 0


          

"In a statement, Smith called his actions “shocking, painful and inexcusable” and said that he will accept any additional consequences that the Academy’s Board of Governors deems appropriate.

“The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home,” Smith said. “I betrayed the trust of the Academy. I deprived other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work. I am heartbroken.”

So, no that doesn't mean he will def be able to attend the Oscars in 2023. Academy could ban him from being able to attend or be nominated when they're done with their decision. But i guess you're right, his decision doesn't do a whole lot. The academy hasnt had their say yet, though.

In response to Reply # 428


  

          

Word on the street is the minimum expulsion time was a decade. A decade was the starting point, not the max but the start.

Now his punishment is more than likely worse. He should've done this immediately after the show ended. He should've left the venue when asked to say the least of things he should've done. The Academy got him on four violations to begin with. His career as A list talent is over due to this debacle.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/entertainment-celebrity/was-chris-rock-s-oscar-joke-really-about-jada-pinkett-cheating-on-will-smith/ar-AAVVHQh

The reference of Demi Moore ("G.I. Jane" Actress) might've also been a jab at how both women enjoyed dating younger men.

Let's look back, Demi Moore left Bruce Willis for a younger Ashton Kutcher. In addition, we would later find out that Jada Pinkett was also unfaithful to Will during their break, enjoying time with a much younger counterpart as well, August Alsina. The singer is yet to hit his 30s while Jada is in her 50s.

As if things couldn't get any worse for the Smith family at the moment, August recently got involved, dropped a new track entitled, 'Shake The World' which makes reference to his time spent alongside Jada.

But I can all but guarantee that this wasn't even remotely the intent of the joke. It doesn't go beyond the fact that Jada's hair is similar to Demi Moore in a movie from 25 years ago (which is probably the go to reference for people of a certain age for women who are bald, I guess)

Their ratings have been abysmal up until the slap.

457. "can he be nominated/win though? that's what i'm most curious about."
In response to Reply # 454
Fri Apr-08-22 02:35 PM by PROMO

  

          

i saw he can't participate in any events, but it didn't mention (or that i saw anyway) that he's banned from being nominated or winning, so i assume that's a possibility.

would be interesting if he did something so undeniable that he had be nominated, and then won.

After seeing that video Jada was taking where Will was asking her not to film him, I'm guessing he's thanking the Academy because that's at least 10 events he doesn't have to attend with Jada.

In response to Reply # 457


  

          

That would be something the Academy wouldn’t or couldn’t do.

Now he’ll effectively be neutered in winning one because he could not campaign for it at academy events. But he CAN get nominated.

In response to Reply # 454


  

          

The same night being both the highlight of his acting career and probable the death of his acting career.

That almost seems like a fictional movie in itself. Winning an Oscar award and murking himself in the same night.

Oh well.

I do wonder if I'm being hyperbolic in terms of big name studios not wanting to do business with him any more because of that ten year ban and the stigma that would get attached to anything he does going forward.

This dude has maybe the most carefully crafted image...from his clean raps, etc....to wanting to be Prez one day...etc


To just completely risk it all on what could have been a huuuge night for him...over a joke he was initially laughing at?


And his weird ass speech...dancing afterwards like nothing happened.


Strange shit.

I forgot about that angle of her laughing! nothing about this is making sense...

I get the whole self-absorbed, weirdo celebrity thing...but when you think about his carefully cultivated image?

I'm leaning toward substances of some kind being involved the more I think about it.

Then again who participates in that weird video posted up above (of course I'm referring to Jada ambushing him...but why doesn't he just walk off?)


I've never wanted to understand something so trivial and meaningless in my life haha

No one is going to have their career possibly linked to a man that walked on stage and hit a black man in the face over a joke. Punishment is fine. He gets to keep his Oscar. People should boycott Jada to get Will the fuck away from her.

I’m confused.

Dude can’t go to an award show.. that’s it.

oh, and can’t nominate anyone or vote on the awards.


That’s it. That’s all.

Now, I’m sure in Hollywood that is some serious punishment but FOH acting like Will is doing hard time or on house arrest and can’t leave the property unless its for work.

Dude is free as fuck and rich as hell. They did that man a favor. He doesn’t need to be out in public.

Like Disney+ or Netflix will pick it up.

Moving it to streaming services will probably solve a lot of the issues: no commercial breaks will severely cut down the length. Then they can issue all of the awards live they want, and even throw in a musical number or two for shits and giggles.
