Guest Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I'm over people using love as an excuse for violence ... his manners and speech exactly showed why that country is so divided. People are so quick to chose hatred and violence nowadays before actually thinking what causes more damage and I'm tired. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphine Prince 106,064 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Two things can be true at once. 1. Chris Rock deserved it. 2. Will Smith should be charged with assault. However, if they were all mature adults none of this would have happened in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concertaholic 5,889 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 What example does this set for our children? That they should solve their problems with violence? The toxic masculinity is appalling. AND it infuriates me that his actions are now going to overshadow the winning moments for other nominees and especially for overshadowing important moments like Jessica Chastain’s speech on LGBTQ rights.

JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 If it was a female comedian, it wouldn't be as bad. Still bad but not so bad. But it was a straight male comedian coming for his wife's looks. Y'all are crazy if you do not see the context and the years of mysoginistic comments hiding behind that. It was't "just a joke" especially when you can see how bothered Jada is about it. It wasn't a joke about a nagging wife or an argument people have at home. It was literally coming for her looks. Completely in bad taste. Jokes like that aren't even funny. What's the punch line? Jada is bald. People are supposed to laugh at her because she is bald.

JRCF29 8,202 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I think this was staged. Will is smirking after the slap. Desperate ploy for awards shows to remain relevant in 2022! Don't Call Me Gaga Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRCF29 8,202 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 IF this isn't staged, then Will Smith just assaulted a man on live television. That's a crime, and he should be charged with assault. No free pass because of a touchy joke-- Smith made a peaceful situation violent all on his own (Rock never goaded him with "fighting words" or anything of the sort) Don't Call Me Gaga Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regina George 59,387 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Assault is never an option. Especially not in this situation. I understand the joke may have hurt his wife but he was laughing at it before doing what he did so I think this is performative and not something that truly hurt him. And I despise the fact that he said people do stupid things when they love someone.. Sure they do but that does not include hitting someone because of some random stupid joke.

Some situations can push you over the edge. Will and his family have taken public humiliation for about 2years and Chris took a cheap shot. I'm not one to endorse violence like this but I certainly hate that it's somehow okay to hurt peoples feelings in the name of comedy. Isn't this a form of body shaming ????
