SUICIDE SQUAD Star Will Smith Apologizes To Chris Rock For Slapping Him At The Oscars

@dracula - If Polanski and Penn can keep theirs...

@PantherKing - the bigger man? Owning up? He does what his pr team tells him.

@PantherKing -



What a terrible take..lol

@TheVengeance - I could insult you rn but imma assume that was a slip of your hand on your keyboard.

@PantherKing - Na, being the bigger man is if he wouldn't have done it in the first place and maybe say something on the side or even shouted, or in his speech.

To get up on stage and slap another grown ass man is wrong no matter the context, especially when it was suppose to be his night.

It's good he's apologised though, but he didn't really have a choice is the way I see it. He's going to be apologising for it the rest of his career.

On the plus side, I can't wait for the next Chris Rock stand up special. He got alot of new material now.

@PantherKing - Are you a child?

@Robby - Lmfaooo

@RegularPoochie - Come on, if Jada was bold because of cancer that would be a different argument. Alopecia is a harmless illness. Many women shave their head willingly and in my opinion it looks good in some of them, Jada included. And Will wasn't "defending his woman" as some people say, to me it looks like he was defending his manhood because he is insecure AF in his relationship. I've even read people calling Jada's condition a "disability", which is just crazy. I never saw it as making fun of an illness more than making fun of a woman's appearance, which yes maybe not appropriate, but not a reason for assaulting someone.

@TheLobster - Yeah take it. Will was out a line. Chris' joke was in poor taste but didn't deserve what he got. Will ruined his character and embarrassed himself his wife I say.

No-ones talking about his Oscar win. He took away what was suppose to be his moment and the moment for the Williams.

He's a good guy I feel, but it shouldn't give him a free pass.

He literally went back, sat down, cussed on national TV. went on to win, and party as if he didn't get up on stage and slapped a grown ass man.

We know he ain't perfect, but it sets a bad precedent.

@Origame - this

@CorndogBurglar - Chris Rock stated he was not aware that Jada is dealing with alopecia. I definitely didn’t know that was why she shaves her head. It seemed more innocuous than it looks in hindsight now that there has been so much coverage and mentioning of the condition.

@nhoj3 - not raging about anything, just saying how things are. Will shouldn't hit Chris, but also Chris didn't need to talk shit about his wife.

@CorndogBurglar - That's being very reductive. Actually, I would say alopecia is the only "condition" that comes to mind that I find harmless to make fun of. It's not painful or harmful for your health, you can live a normal life and even wear a wig or a scarf if it's really that important for you. She's chosen to go without a wig and that's okay, and she has a right to do so without people laughing at her. I don't think the joke was funny or appropriate, it's just not the same as making a joke about someone with a serious condition. You can disagree with my reasoning and maybe even convince me I'm wrong, but reductive sarcasm that hints at me being an a***ole is not really gonna win me over.

@Origame - I get what you are saying about hair loss being enough to cause depression, and the fact that I personally don't think that's a good reason does not mean it can't be for someone else and that's respectable. But people can be insecure about so many different things and a joke that may be harmless to some people can hit a particular person harder because they relate to it. I think most jokes are going to offend at least one person, and is always healthy to have a conversation about that. I just think there are degrees and this particular joke, although tasteless, was not meant to be hurtful nor to ridicule a disease. Some people are acting like it's the worst thing in the world and a justification for violence, and I'm saying it's not that serious. Wasn't trying to be insensitive even if I may have been, and if I know a particular person is sensitive about something I'm not going to joke about it, but in this case I don't think Chris Rock had that intention.

I don't think her career is affected by that, really. She can wear all sorts of wigs if required, like many actresses with hair do. I also know many actresses with shaved heads who can get a job just fine. I think it's good to normalize it.

Autism in it's very different degrees IS considered a disability, but I bet (and if I'm wrong I'm sorry) that you or people close to you have joked about it and it was fine. I understand it is not when some stranger or famous comedian jokes about it and the target of the joke doesn't know if they mean it or they are being sarcastic or they just want to hurt them, hence why I think if Chris Rock was going to make a joke about an autistic person he should be very careful about it or even better just not do it. My mother is sick and I joke about it with her all the time, humor when it's not meant to be hurtful can even be therapeutic and make the issue seem less serious (it was not the case with this joke, but what I mean to say it's that I think is OK to joke about literally anything depending on the circumstances).
