[@johnprice866]

Imagine slapping someone, going back to your seat, getting an award (and talking about love...barf) going to an after-party, and dancing the night away with no legal repercussions. That is the definition of privilege.

I bet some people were caught off guard in the moment and weren't sure it wasn't scripted. Plus no one called the cops, and the victim did not press charges, so what exact repercussions are you expecting? nothing privileged about it.

@@CharveL88 As Rock mentioned in his routine, Smith is MUCH bigger than him, both in height and bulk. Smith was a coward, taking out his anger and frustration for his wife's behavior on a much smaller man. That he did so for the whole world to see is utterly disgraceful.

[@TheKingOfRuckus]

Chris honestly held back when it came to talking about Will and Jada. He could have gone a LOT harder, but it would have really ruined Will's life if he went full throttle. I think Chris knows that and decided not to go as hard as he could have. No mention of how Jada still idolizes Tupac, to the point where her daughter wrote a letter to the dead rapper begging him to come make Jada happy. No mention of the infamous poem. Mentioned the red table talk, but didn't fully go in, as it was filled with material for Chris to use. Chris Rock had a YEAR. He showed mercy here.

Jada probably has a Death Row Records lower back tat & owns every Outlawz mixtape. *Apparently* The girl daughter got some sort of bizarre concept in her head that Tupac was her father. I can't be bothered to look further into that... *Perhaps* Will's son has a similar vision & 2Pac *spoke* to him? *"You'd be looking too fly in a dress, little man! & Give ya Moms a smack on that fine ass for me!"*

Well said. I personally thought that Chris showed a lot of restraint in the (live) special when he discussed Will and Jada and the slap. Just like some of the stuff that went through his head at the Oscars before he composed himself, Chris DID use a filter, and kept some things to himself. He was a Professional, (RESPECT) and Will’s extremely hard slap didn’t even make Chris’s knees buckle. He may be smaller than Will Smith, but he’s still pretty tough.

[@BattleBladeWarrior]

Well, lets be honest though, that's pretty normal. If you made an ass of yourself on live TV, and then a comedian made fun of you after, you would feel offended and embarrassed. BUT, that's the point. Dude messed up, and Chris made a few personal jabs at Will and his family. And that was all brought on by Will and the smith family, so he should be feeling that way. Hopefully that embarrassment is a lesson.

I remember him saying on the Red Table that he tries so hard to make people love him, including Jada.

Had Will approached the stage and quietly whispered into Chris’ ear, like “hey man my wife doesn’t appreciate jokes about her condition, please don’t embarrass her in public like that again,” he might’ve gotten an apology from Chris. Additionally, Will would’ve still looked like a good guy standing up for his wife even though she never really seemed to loved him, and it would’ve saved his career and public image.

The craziest part of all of this, is if Will and Jada had said and done nothing, nobody would’ve remembered the joke the next day. Now it will haunt all of their lives for decades. Just another example of the Streisand effect.

[@fetB]

its not even an offensive joke. Demi played a badass and what Chris essentially was saying is she could play that part too. Its so weird that everyone claims its talking about her alopecia, when theres nothing in the joke that would suggest that

[@mrs.h2725]

She doesn’t even have alopecia lol. When her head is buzzed you can still see the hair follicles, and she has full coverage. She claims there’s a thinned line where she parts it, but that’s a normal thing to happen with age. As an actually bald chick who would look worse than Asmongold if I grew mine out, Jada can take her attention seeking bs elsewhere. I’d be thrilled to be compared to Demi Moore in Marines shape.

[@yamahakid450f]

The most brutal part, he waited until it started to blow over and be forgotten by the public. Chris said "Nah, fuck that, shits getting too quiet". And then brought it up making it as popular as ever, just when Will was probably thinking the worst was behind him and Chris wasn't going to do shit lmao. I tell you one thing, Chris just hit him a whole lot harder and dealt more damage than what Will did to him at the Oscars... 🤣 This was so much better than releasing a bit about it a month or two after the fact where it would be expected and then forgotten about by now. This was absolutely genius, from the writing, delivery, but more importantly, the timing of it was perfect. Even funnier, I've heard Will is trying to get Netflix to remove that whole bit about him and the incident, what a bitch move...and even if he did, its 2023, that bitch is all over the internet, its not going anywhere. Besides, Will, he did exactly what you asked of him.. He kept your wife's name out his fuckin mouth, you never said anything about yourself.. and unfortunately for both you and Jada Shaku- Smith, I meant Smith......we all knew exactly who he was talking about, that's not his fault, you should of been more specific on what you wanted kept out of his fuckin mouth, that's on you. I know consequences and self accountability don't mean anything to these Hollywood Elites, but if it wasnt for making that decision at the Oscar's, that bit you want removed wouldn't be on his special, it wouldn't exist at all for the matter. This is all happening because of your actions and decision making during the biggest awards show of the year (the biggest award of your career) which was broadcasted live to millions of homes... What did you think would happen? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes, and this is a rare situation in which there's no amount of fame and/or money that can fix it for you, you cant pay off the court of public opinion. Trying to have the joke removed (im sure by making threats of some sort) instead of accepting it and rolling with the punches is just making things worse for you in the eyes of everyone too. Bad decision after bad decision... In the words of Dave Chappelle: "Gotcha bitch!"
