Pierre's Panic Room - In another episode of Panic Room, Legendary Comedian Earthquake describes how he would have handled "The Slap" and more!
Have a thought? Leave it in the comments! :D

Earthquake nailed it: "Those people who said they would've done something would've never been in that position to host the Oscars in the first place."........Chris Rock handled that like a boss.

[@williamparker9910]

I don't agree with that

Now, if we can get all that I'd whup a N**** A***** energy to roll up on some these cops popping N***** in the streets for no reason!

[@blackasylum9770]

I would have reacted like Chris, but my best friend would have laid them out. The difference is what people value and are they willing to lose it. Chris valued his job the most. Will valued his wife the most. Time will tell who made the best decision. Chris still has the option to sue, and continue his career with a sympathy bump in popularity. Will's career will be fine but he will not have the pull he once had. He also doesn't know if Chris will ever press charges or sue. And lets not act like the woman he laid it on the line for is supporting him as blindly as he did her. He IMO came out the worst.

Earthquake came to Peoria once. He makes a good point. So much was going on at the time and his show took my mind away from it. He would never know how much I enjoyed the show along with my hubby because I was not on the floor laughing. Earthquake kept me from crying that night instead. He took a pic with my hubby after the show. Hopefully, Earthquake comes back to the hole in the wall because he was awesome!

Interesting and well thought out response to something that happened unscripted. First I don't believe anyone knows what they would do in that situation until it happens. Second of all integrity, respect, and protecting yourself isn't for sale. If your mindset is totally on money, be careful because you will get that indecent proposal.

Why didn't the Oscars have someone there to prevent that from happening. The outside of the building probably had barriers to keep people away from the celebrities, but you didn't have things in place to prevent that slap. What if Will started choking him to death.

Will was dead wrong, but why couldn't Chris block, or dodge the slap? That,.. is the question. The answer is CONDITIONING. Fuck the Oscars... fuck protocol! Protect yourself!

[@worldismymuse4297]

I hear you...but that's an emotional reaction. Protect yourself from what? A Slap? Embrassment for 24 hours? Will and Jada look like the fools and weak ones and didnt follow protocol. They are going to pay one way ($) or the other down the road...probably already are with that incident, their life looking like an open book mess and their kids clearly being affected by their parent's lifestyle. And Chris is more than A-OK. Its not CONDITIONING...no one expected a slap in that moment (Will laughed at the joke, remember?)...and block, dodge wouldn't be an option for most people

[@edwardmcneil9240]

I agree it seems because you make money you're supposed to stop being man as if he shouldn't be able to defend himself

chris has a disorder that makes it difficult for him to read body language and whatnot; he spoke about this on Breakfast Club. This is probably why he was still smiling as Will was approaching him.

@@jaredlhulum Yeah. Well, dude is almost 60. And if it is at all true what he says about his childhood in "Everybody Hates Chris", he should have learned by rote by now. But I am not judging the brother. My first thought was he did not deserve that, but disorder or not you have to protect your space. It's wasn't a matter of body language. It was about context and body distance.

Chris Rock was wrong for insulting that Man's Wife. What is it that you people don't understand here? You don't insult a Man's Wife and think it's cool. That slap was a act of mercy, imagine if they were both outside in the street? Chris Rock would have been zipped up.

[@babydoll5052]

I agree with "Earthquake" just take the "High Road" and get paid! Every single interview that I have seen Earthquake, always has the most intelligent response, even with the response he had about "Jada" he is respectful, and also he is not trying to please others by trying to "brag" how he would have beat up, kick, shoot, etc' Will Smith. A lot of people also never address the fact that, as a "black man" Chris Rock, did not give "others" something they could feel good about, by watching two "black men" fight at the Oscar's!

Most guys that have a hoodlum streak in them and managed to get in the position Chris Rock was in would have let Will Smith get away with it (at that moment). Because the public was watching. 1 million viewers or more. They would have waited until after that show was over or the following day and ambushed his ass. Too many stories out there of what Hollywood people do when the cameras ain't on

Meh can’t have it both ways. I think Chris was justified in whatever way he decided to react. Whether he wanted to fight or let it slide, like he did. Can’t say if your mentality was to slap Will back, you wouldn’t have been in the position to present an Oscar, when Will’s mentality was to walk on stage and slap him and he WON AN Oscar! Did Will’s mentality and actions not belong at the wing spot? He was front row at the Oscars. When people say take the “high road” it’s basically saying it’s alright for someone to do you wrong but you not do anything about it.

[@369pendulum]

I wish I had better words to tell you how much I agree with literally everything you just said. This situation was far too unique to really judge anyone for what they say they would have done. There are plenty of people who are worthy of being on that stage that would've reacted much differently than Chris & they wouldn't have been wrong.
