Everyone who is saying Chris is wrong for making fun of her looks, he did not insult her looks. And if you think that’s what bothered Jada, you are fooling yourself. She probably wouldn’t want any joke about her, I can guarantee you it’s pride and she thinks she should be off limits. Any joke would have pissed her off, it’s the audacity of Chris to even target her is what annoyed her.
Eta: the Smiths seem to have a queen bee/God complex similar to Beyoncé and Jay Z.
100% agree with every word of this. They are SO full of themselves, that speech alone proved it.
I think the Academy should have removed Will from the audience. They said they don't condone violence and yet they let him continue to sit there and then receive an award. What kind of message does that send?
And honestly for Will as black man to march up and punch another black man at an award show which has proven to leave out black people is ridiculous. He should know better and do better, there were a million other ways to handle that situation and the joke wasn’t that serious to warrant all that. Will Smith doing too much.
Also I feel like he was also being a bully. If it was Jay z, 50 cent, Eminem or the rapper that screwed his wife who made that joke would he have gone up and slapped that person? I don’t think so. Will Smith knew he could get that off the on Chris Rock.
Slapped not punched
Whatever same sh!t, slap or punch - it was still one black man hitting another one on a prominent award show - live. Pathetic. Will should know better. Do as you preach Mr. no violence. No one remembers his rap song where he called out Eminem for violence and curses in his lyrics?
Just saying as a punch just sounds worse (not speaking just in this case but for all).
Like i said I didn’t watch. Some were saying slap, others punch but a hit is a hit. And while a punch may cause more damage, a slap can hit just as hard and be deemed degrading. Being slapped by another man can also hurt your ego. I don’t want my point getting lost with semantics.
Totally get what you are saying. Just that many are saying punched when that is incorrect. Even all the silly memes that started last night

It was SO degrading. I give Chris Rock mad props for basically shaking it off (even though he was clearly stunned), making a quick joke about it and then finishing up without missing a beat.
Seriously, and it was a pretty hard slap! I mean honestly it looked like a punch to me at first!

I didn’t even attempt to watch because I feel bad for Chris. From what I am hearing sounds like he did a great job of being the bigger person and showing how you act with class. Meanwhile a lot of these comedians get cancelled for less and are always on eggshells when they have to speak or host at the Oscar because they get cancelled/fired so quickly. Look what happened to Kevin Hart.
Kudos to Chris! Sucks no one had his back.

Has anyone happened to see all of the businesses using a still photo from the incident as a meme today to promote their own business? I think it's kind of gross and such a turn off.
It is just overkill right now with memes and posts. It is like enough is enough. If it is real and CR is not going to press charges, then move on. If it was a joke and set up, then say it and stop all this crap. It is annoying to not be able to go online anywhere without it in our faces.

Did Chris Rock even write that joke?? Thought these things are krafted by writers and the jokes are pretty much "approved" beforehand....Didn't this joke go thru alot of people's hands??
Wait, comedians have to pre approve jokes? WTF??

Re: Will Smith
i won't re-hash what others have said. i'll just throw in my two cents that will smith was beyond wrong on a million different levels.
shame on him, shame on those who comforted him (initially, i thought they were scolding him), shame on the academy.

I was stunned. As was Chris Rock. If you keep watching after he hands out the award, he was still not okay.
If ANYONE else did that...let's say Jessica Chastain's SO marched up and slapped him, he would have been immediately escorted out.
All these Hollywood folk screaming privilege...well privilege is color blind as evidenced right here.
Also, do all of these self serving actors need to have a platform? Just take your trophy given to you by your peers who are the only people who saw the boring movie you were in and go home to your mansions and cry about inequity to your house servants.
This!
This as well.

I think people are human, people snap, and we've been in a pandemic for two years where it seems people have forgotten how to interact. I don't think it needs to be made into some kind of discourse on toxic masculinity.

Read a funny comment online will smith played Muhammad Ali in a movie don’t you think he could have hit Chris a little differently? Lol. Hate Hollywood people so out of touch. Good on Chris Rock, imagine if Ricky gervais hosted, he always goes hard. Chris Rock was holding back

I'm pretty sure they all do on live TV. Even the late night shows have the topics they talk about with their guests pre-approved

I think Will was emasculated in his marriage when Jada cheated on him so openly and without any compassion and he wanted to look Macho. It’s unacceptable either way. I don’t see how you can even be a comedian anymore, it’s like you can’t make fun of anyone or anything anymore…

Assuming it wasn’t a publicity stunt , Smith obviously lost his s h i t and made a very poor choice. I don’t condone it, but I’m not going to clutch my pearls either. People make mistakes. Also , all 3 of them are tone deaf , out of touch elites and likely narcissists to boot, so I really DGAF.

Since the academy is investigating now, I doubt it was a stunt. They would have come out by now to stop that.

I am not losing sleep over it either but I think I’m annoyed how no one did anything, escorted Will out and how people supported him. I really feel like Will was being a bully and took his frustration of his marriage on Chris and I’m annoyed the bully won that night. There is more security and action on an episode of housewives. Lol.
But whatever it’s done they’re all rich and will live happily ever after. We had our fun with the memes and commentary. Plus MC09 wrapped it up perfectly!!

Ah, I have a coworker who didn't even know about THIS. It is scary that many don't know what is going on in the world. They just bebop along like everything is just coming up roses.
