Will Smith’s slap got me watching everything Chris Rock - don’t regret it

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

I knkw right. I'm just becoming a bigger fan of Chris. Lol

[@robertanderson9375]

Me too. Always loved his stand up, but this drew me see more. He is such a great talent. Way greater than Ghetto Will

Chris Rock you are not only funny as hell, but you’re one classy dude… I watched the Oscar’s and I was blown away at how you handled it, nuff nuff respect! Not only are you smart, but you’ve taken over reins of the best of the best comedians today. Also kudos to you on how you handled that situation…. YOU my friend handled the issue with class and grace!!! You are the best of the bests in comedy… and as a real man! Love you!

You shouldn’t bully anyone. Regardless of whether the person you are bullying becomes famous or not.

[@judyfeeney9117]

@Dazz 416 I agree. Sarcastic humour is a defense, as well as a way to gain attention & approval. Good-natured humour on the other hand is motivated by a wish, to offer attention & your approval to someone else and others. If the only member in your household, who sincerely enjoys listening to your jokes, is the dog.....well, more than likely, you have a sarcastic sense of humour.

[@judyfeeney9117]

@Dazz 416 I liked Wills' willingness to take ownership/ responsibility for his part in the conflict & his sincere & heartfelt apology to all the people involved. It is people such as Will Smith who learn from their mistakes, which makes them much wiser people than they were before, so people naturally trust & love them more & like being around them, more. I believe he is trying to become the person, he was always meant to be! If Will Smith can do it....so can Chris ❤️ you ❤️ & I & everyone else.

Thanks for posting this documentary of Chris. It gives a very good foundational look as to why Chris did not throw a punch at Will Smith. Chris is an artist. He was not malicious in his joke toward Jada Pinkett Smith. He was actually complimenting her, saying that her shaved head gave her the look of the strong character GI Jane and that the part was hers when the opportunity came around. Chris's shows on HBO are the best. His observations on society hold up.

[@dui331]

No he was not complimenting her. That is obvious. He should alol

[@tammyloustorydickerson4447]

Yes he was, that was obvious, if you took it another way then your wrong, I thought it was clean fun, and Jada should've appreciated that!!!

Let this sink in: In this documentary they stated The 70s, 80,90s legendary comedians had their run which Chris Rock was part of it / Now, in the 20 Century " He's still here"!!!!!!! And After getting slapped, does he fold -- No!!!!!!!!!!! He's becomes even more famous. ( He's on tour right now ) Now we have great newcomers like Kevin Hart, etc. And he's the heavyweight comedian of this era. unbelievable!!!!

Chris should Sue Will Smith

[@phyllislawson3294]

I think Chris Rock, is doing the right thing, whatever, you do today, make sure you can live with it tomorrow. Yes, HE can finish what "Will"has started. Will already, sewed that up! He don't need, Chris to do it. Why should, Chris interfere. Ya'll will never, be able to say Chris did it. That is for sure.

[@chompchomp7853]

@@phyllislawson3294 Chris needs to sue because many people are turning against him, and Jada and Will are clearly manipulating people to generate sympathy. As a result, others are attempting to gain sympathy by arguing that Jada's alopecia is so severe that Chris deserves to be attacked because of it. Yet the joke was not bad enough for Will to strike him, and her alopecia isn't even real; therefore, if Chris sues, physicians will investigate, revealing that Jada lied. I know many people who have the illness, and it is nothing like hers, or is it cancer. Additionally, I am familiar with narcissists such as Will and Jada. They will make Chris feel horrible for hitting him, and their support group for this absurd idea will expand and develop, gradually dimming Chris's light until he finally has millions against him. Tragically, Will and Jada would have to forgive him instead. Hate against Chris will keep growing.

He Is a gift

[@phyllislawson3294]

Much respect. Dial 91, waiting desperately, to hit the addition 1, meaning 911, when he walks in the nieborhood. Reflecting back on that slap. I think he felt there is enough, people ready to dial 911, for nothing . He will not be the one that dial it for something. I think, his entirer reaction to Will Smith will be therapy for Will alone with other people, that allow their button to be push. Reacting irrational!

[@keairrasingleton9848]
