Black niggas always acting for the white audience. Will Smith won't have had the effrontery to slap a white man on stage,no matter the provocation.

And black people shouldn't make fun of black people in.public

I don’t think that is being human, he only acted like a bottom bitch Zach Galifinakis made worse statement about Michelle Obama but the only thing Obama said was I will never let you near Michelle, This is what Comedians do they make People laugh, if it was a joke about Will I bet Michelle will laugh hard
I am not saying I condone what Will did o. No.
I just feel he was trying too much to proove a point to Jada that he still cares for her. Futile effort, if you ask me. She still will flirt with August Alsina behind Will's back, anyday, anytime, twice in Monday.

What's he teaching his kids by loosing it in public? I defended ya momma? Nah... they'll see through his charade. He wants the world to still think he regrets letting Jada Pickett-Smith go, but I don't think he really loves her like it used to be. Obama is a different story...That one is a gentleman with sense. He might be (he is) five times more ruthless than Will Smith, but he will rather deal with you in private than publicly. Or he'll let it slide. Obama is intelligent, nau.

Will Smith is a no-nonsense dude. He once slapped a press guy for kissing him.

But that said, comedians and others who make jokes at other people's expense should know their "jokes" are insults dressed in makeup.

Everyone is sensitive to insulting jokes, including those who smile or laugh. Most just let it slide, until it gets to a point they can't anymore. In this case, Mrs. Smith has alopecia, which is a medical condition that causes hair loss.

I remember something like this happened between Helen and another comedian at an AY Live show a few years ago.

You're 100% correct at the emboldened cool

First the slap was an assault and Smith should be sued.. It's America not Nigeria except maybe the famous and rich have other laws.
The movie GI Jane portrayed the woman Chris compared Jada to as a strong resilient woman that will follow her mind and soul to achieve that she want which means it was actually a compliment.. Infact Smith was laughing at first until he saw the look on jada's face and I doubt Chris is aware Jada has alopecia..
So how will Chris not know Jada had alopecia while u far away in 3rd world shithole poverty capital of the world know. Interesting cheesy grin

Their are limits to jokes! Not just toying with peoples emotions and thinking it’s all a joke.

Can he try such joke with NY or Chiraq drill rappers?

When life sees you weak, it throws shiit at you. He saw will as a gentleman and why he had the effrontery.

So happy Will could come out of his emotions and deliver it right on that fvcking stage he was spewing gibberish!

And to top it up, He still bagged a award

Why am i not surprised? Physical assault is in our culture na

t Sunday night’s Oscar ceremony, Will Smith shocked the room by approaching the stage and slapping presenter Chris Rock in the face after the comedian made a joke about Smith’s wife, actor Jada Pinkett Smith.

Rock was on the Oscars stage presenting the category for best documentary. He began by making a few jokes about the audience members, including Pinkett Smith, referring to her as “G.I. Jane” due to her closely cropped hair. (Pinkett Smith has spoken in the past about her battle with alopecia.) Shortly after he made the joke, Smith walked to the stage and slapped Rock across the face. He then returned to his seat and shouted, “Keep my wife’s name out of your fucking mouth.”

At first, watching the telecast, it was unclear whether the assault was a planned bit. But the show’s audio immediately cut out after Smith slapped Rock, then stayed muted as Rock said “Will Smith just smacked the shit out of me” while Smith walked away. Smith then returned to his seat and shouted, “Keep my wife’s name out of your fucking mouth!”

“Wow, dude,” replied Rock “It was a G.I. Jane joke.”


Rock went on to present the documentary prize to Summer of Soul director Questlove. Immediately after, Sean “Diddy” Combs came onstage to introduce a clip montage celebrating the 50th anniversary of The Godfather. “I didn’t know that this year was going to be the most exciting Oscars ever!” he said. “Okay, Will, Chris—we’re going to solve that like family. But right now, we’re moving on with love.”

Per Vanity Fair’s Rebecca Ford, Denzel Washington pulled Smith to the side for a conversation after the exchange, kneeling alongside Pinkett Smith when the show returned from the commercial break. Tyler Perry also joined Washington and Smith during the commercial break. The Smiths, per Ford, have been holding hands since the assault occurred.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myjEoDypUD8

An Academy librarian also confirmed to VF’s Joy Press that this was likely the first time there had been real violence onstage at the ceremony. However, this was not the first time Rock had made jokes about Pinkett Smith at the Oscars. During the 2016 ceremony, which Rock hosted, he poked fun at Pinkett Smith for famously boycotting that year’s ceremony. “Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties,” Rock said at the time. “I wasn’t invited.”

Smith is in attendance at this year’s Oscars competing for the best actor prize. He has been considered a front runner for months, thanks to his performance in the biopic King Richard.

Will Smith fvcked up. Used to think he was more than what he displayed. Maybe he could have warned Chris sternly when he later mounted the stage, but violence in that case makes him look weaker than he actually is.

Funny how some men reacts violently to those who joke about their wife and applaud those who disrespects them,their honor,their home,family and marriage by pounding their wife.

He laughed but reacted because Jada didn't laugh at the joke but had a grin on her face. Will is a simp.

shocked



Simps will always be simps. Ever ready to take a bullet for and defend the woman who is ever ready to gobble up another preek.
Will Smith himself laughed at the damn joke, till he noticed Jada wasn't cool with it.

So he had to play hero to a woman who has never gotten over her obsession with Tupac Shakur. A woman who does not in any way cherish her marriage to him.

A woman whom all he has done to all their marriage is to plead with to remain put with him.

So he had this type of energy, yet his wife chose to fvck his child's friend and won't have let go of him till the small boy shamed her for her preek neediness.

He had this energy and he couldn't slap sense into Jada's head when she was proudly admitting her entanglement with August Alsina on their round table talk.

He had this type of energy and he can't discipline his kids who would rather write a dead Tupac Shakur letters chronicling how their mom has remained perpetually unhappy without him and how they wish he was their father.

Will Smith, if you like slap John Cena, the world will forever consider you a simp.
It's a shame that a man as hot as Will will go through shit, go beserk and do bizarre stuffs just to get the validation of the unrepentant cougar he happily calls wife.

He was at least honest enough to admit that "love will make you do crazy things" meaning he did this to earn her love; to earn the love of a slut.
Shame on him.

At this rate, I won't be shocked if one day I read that Will put a bullet through his own skull because if this isn't a trip to rock bottom, then I wonder what is.
This is what happens when a man marries the wrong woman, or when a man thinks he can convert the affection a woman has for another man.

Once you start out begging a woman to love you, you spend the rest of your life in pure agony, because love can never be forced, bought or begged for.

I expect Chris Rock to do what is right and press charges ASAP.
I love your reply bro!

He demeaned the Oscars , disrespected Chris,himself, the audience (his fellow actors) and his own Black America's historic activism and battle for representation and equality in the entertainment industry that initially owes a debt of gratitude to classical black stars. Would it be worst if he had unzipped his c.o.c.k and peed on Chris's shoes?

I guess some could argue that the Oscars deserved shaming and degrading in the eyes of the world.....

I don't know why alot are being stupid on this matter...the joke might have hurt but will shouldnt have gone up to slap him, that was plainly stupid, im sure if rock made the joke about someone else, will would have laughed, and wouldn't remember the same energy he kept for his wife on her own matter
If ure that angry he could have yelled like that only...or probably confront him after the show...and the message will be sent properly
This people are just hypocritical, u can laugh at other sensitive jokes but not keeping the same energy for ur wife
It was even more hypocritical when he laughed first then saw his wife didnt laugh

Now he has made the joke even bigger with his immature stunt there

Will Smith is quite literally the text book definition of a simp. Dude is on a higher level than Jada in every way and the woman literally bleeped his sons 23 year old friend.

Can you imagine how they would have come for Will if he was fking willows friends?

Would have been best if pac was alive. Jada would have left will since and man's brain would have reset.

If your wife wants to be feening for an accessory to rape who got ripped off by suge Knight, that's her funeral.

Chris said before the joke “I love you Jada” as a form of an apology and “no pun intended” before he made the supposed joke. He knew what he was about to do that was why he made that indirect apology first. He knew the reason her hair was like that in the first place.

It’s like someone battling Leukemia and their hair starts to fall off until the hair on their heads finish and then you try to make a joke saying “oh sorry but you look like an alien”
Will smith had been laughing before Chris made that statement so obviously he couldn’t just change to an angry face all of a sudden. The smile kept reducing by the seconds and the camera showed that Jada wasn’t having that joke at all.
