[@Khalidsvt101]

loyal friends are rare.. and jazz is one of them

[@JaxLittles]

Theyre really not rare if a person is secure in themselves and make sure they surround themselves with the right people. Will was able to do that with his friends, but wasn't able to do that with women. I wish he could work on his security with women so he could just bail on Jada and realize that women aren't precious little jewels, but some of them could be trash.

[@donnac.3273]

Yes, I have 2 3 including my husband my 2 girlfriend since 6th grade and my husband since 11th grade. Over 40 years of friendship. Everybody cannot say that. We have been through health problems, birth, death, anniversaries and weddings, etc. We still are still together.

Much love and respect to DJ Jazzy Jeff!!!! I absolutely love him keeping it 100 about Will Smith, and I agree with him completely!!! Will has been in the business for over 30 years and has one raw moment, and people want to throw him under the bus!!! Jazzy Jeff is speaking absolute truth when he said if all of our raw moments or bad judgements were put out there for everyone to see, including some of those so-called celebrities that were criticizing Will's actions!!! They'll soon forget until they're caught up in some scandal on TMZ, and want the forgiveness from their colleagues and fans and then request that everyone respects their privacy at this time!!! Oh yeah, they won't have that same energy for themselves as they did for Will!!!

[@Mr.Oct___]

Would that same theory & sentiment hold true in your mind if Will had shot Chris? What if his assault resluted in Chris falling awkwardly & crippling himself. ...Is it just one raw moment then? Some moments & acts are more costly than others. William failed in an epic way that night. Even now as they converse about the scenario...they dance around addressing it in full form. "When the thing happened at the Oscars"???? Excuse me? You mean when will walkeed on stage and assulted Chris Rock publically don't you...

[@DavidWilson-tr2qj]

@@Mr.Oct___ I wasn't condoning Will's actions, just appreciating what DJ Jazzy Jeff was saying as a person who knows Will better than anyone. Besides how many times did celebrities like Sean Penn publicly assault people, but then eventually move on with their life? Again I say Will had one moment, so should he be thrown under the bus for it? And to answer your question, no the same wouldn't hold true if Will had shot Chris, but it's still a raw moment, none the less.

[@Mr.Oct___]

@@DavidWilson-tr2qj Agreed. But you also know we are held to such a diff & higher standard brother. Which is why the moment was so heartbreaking for me personally. He had his biggest lapse on the highest stage at his highest moment.....w/ another giant. ....damn. I still am just speechless when I really think about it.....sucks.

If that raw moment had taken place elsewhere and caused him his life. There would have been a whole different song being sung by this choir.

The worst thing about the whole incident is that the friends got Will's back more than the woman he slapped someone for.

[@DwayneANix]

And that's why he will get thru it all! He's got Jeff , Denzel, and Dave have his back. It's gonna cost him $60 mil, but he can make it back, Jada can't!

This really needed to be said. The nerve of some of the people who threw stones at Will! Hollywood is damn near Sodom and Gomorrah these days.

[@J-Hue]

Speaking of Sodom, it is, not damn near. And to that point, they didn't condemn Kevin Spacy or that producer with the sexual assault charges like that.

[@Knight_of_NI]

I admit I may be wrong (it’s happened once or twice in my life 😉) but I believe that slap had more to do with Jada than Chris talking about Jada. I won’t say where or when but I worked security for a well known hotel and I met Will and Jada (though the bulk of our interactions was escorting them from their car, in the private elevator and to the door of their suite). Will was down to earth, genuine and laidback celebrity I’ve interacted with while on the job. We were instructed to never interact with celebrity guests beyond that which was necessary to do our job. However, Will always struck up a conversation with me, always asked how my day was going and never went into his suite or car without saying “thank you”. However, Jada was cold, condescending and treated everyone as if we were blessed by God to even have her make eye contact with us. I can’t even begin to count the number of times she would roll her eyes when Will would joke around with anyone on our detail.

There’re MANY Hip-Hop artists who said Will’s rhymes were wack asf & from what I remember he didn’t say SHIIIIIT!!! And after he did that movie “Six Degrees Of Separation” many people thought he was Gay & I never seen him respond to that either.

@@garfieldharrison510 Granted, I was being a bit sarcastic but I've definitely more concern and sympathy over whether Chris Rock -- the guy who got assaulted at the Oscars -- is fine and doing okay now versus Smith who committed the assault which was neither fine or okay and should not be made out to be some kind of hero for defending his wife. Smith needs serious mental health counseling...and Rock might need some too.

[@garfieldharrison510]

@@kamuelalee They don't need no counselling. He made an open statement after all the shenanigans. I don't see him as a hero. But,as a human being. Trust me. I've made lots of mistakes. Why this is so big, is because it was the white people's precious Academy Awards. Big Deal. Probably the most exciting one at best. Yeah I wish he didn't smack Chris Did his sly remark warranted such a violent smack. Probably. But instead of thinking it. Will did it. Like the neighborhood friend. He didn't press charges. Chris Rock didn't retaliate most likely while he was caught off guard. I respect both men and truly believe that those White folks who wants to elongate this. Should check themselves. Like Jim Carrey. America has bigger fish to fry. Like crash Celebrity culture. That's the reason why they got a narcissist POTUS back 2016. He was a wanna be Mafia Boss/wannabe Actor. He turned the country's dark side into the light if millions of people in the world. This smack has nothing on a POTUS who incited an insurrection allegedly to be fair to his Orange narcissistic self.I say actors and performers should not be treated differently. They should be respected because its not easy to do what we do.But not everyone deserves to be put on a pedestal. Crash Celebrity Culture.

[@kamuelalee]

@@garfieldharrison510 Yes, I agree there's a black and white thing to the Oscars; majority white people are members and a few blacks and other minorities are included. Only recently, minority filmmakers are being recognized and likely Smith's slap on Rock drew some racism about blacks at the Oscars. Unfortunately, that's the state of America. Still, I think Smith needs professional mental health. More to the point, Smith needs to find a better woman for a wife, one who doesn't sleep around and then tell the whole world about it...though maybe Smith slept around on her, I don't know.

I think that you can both look at what Will Smith did and be upset about it because it was wrong and then after the shock and upset subside look at all this stuff that Jazzy is talking about. I definitely hear what he is saying loud and clear. This is always going to follow Will but I just hope he gets to live it down. At the end of the day that was one moment in his life. I don't think people should wrap him up in a small little box because of that. The guy plays at the high stakes table and this time he came up snake eyes. But the guy has a thousand other wins. I don't think he's a bad person, I think he's just human like the rest of us. I sent him love.

Now that time has passed I think it's time to look at it from Will's side, because it was so out of character for him! As Jazzy says, he is only human. You know, let's show some Grace and turn this into a teaching moment. Will is the one everybody is still talking about.

@@shall7277I definitely respect 🫡 & agree with getting that vexed & I had a situation when I was 30 years of age in my neighborhood in Queens NYC & I didn’t give AF @ that moment & I still think Jazz was “covertly” trying to justify it slightly, by saying “Will would’ve slapped Tyson.” Because that’s his true to life homie & you better believe a “forgive Will” campaign is on the horizon.😳😂 But what’s REALLY GREAT famz is that You & I are able to give each other our individual opinions, whilst equally RESPECTING each other’s perspectives!

At the end of the day, if the worst thing you've done in your life is slapping a comedian on a live awards show then I'd say you've lived a good life. It wasn't that bad, and everyone knows it wasn't that bad they just viewed Will a certain way and when he presented himself differently people were disappointed.

What did Jay-Z say? "They build you up to break you down" People can't wait to see someone "perfect" have a breakdown or make a mistake. Because that makes them feel better about themselves. They get to go "OOO look! He messed up! I told you he wasn't nice! I told he wasn't great!" As if one mistake or even a handful of mistakes actually define a person. I have faith that Will will be back on top soon enough. I Am Legend 2 and Bad Boys 4 should get him there haha

I think there's some history with Will Chris and Jada. Will has known Chris Rock for a long time since at least the Fresh Prince days. Chris Rock and Jada even presented at an award show together years ago. Something probably happened that we know nothing about then Chris Rock gets up there and tells his awfully outdated joke. I don't think the joke was worth the risk.

@@simplydee4522 everything has a line in the sand that shouldn’t be crossed, and that line has variables depending on the situation. There are a lot of people that can really mean to personally and underhandedly disrespect a person by using a “joke” to disguise or sugar coat their real motive. Then when someone gets rightfully offended, they can say, “I was just joking” , “it was a joke”, “you can’t take a joke?” all to try and switch the blame onto the offended person and their reactions. Question for you….. do you know where your line is?

My thoughts, my opinion. Jazzy Jeff, thanks for having Will's back. Oh, if we only knew about the many bad judgment calls that negatively affected others from these famous people bashing Will Smith , we'd all be shocked and appalled. These famous men, you know who you are, never really fooled with Will. Not really, because you would have reached out to him to see what was going on with your fellow brother. Will wasn't known for this type of behavior but you guys chose to bash him instead. Bad move on Will's part, but so was the woman about to be stoned and Jesus set the record straight. He who is without sin, cast the first stone. So many stones were thrown and I dare think you all are ok in your decisions to cast those stones. We've got to be about what we speak about!
