You know what Rickey, you made a valid point of Will waiting backstage on Chris to have a man to man discussion.

[@lashawannajoyner5993]

I thought it was disgraceful... The Oscars are supposed to be a distinguished event... They talk about white folks bad enough! Sidney Poitier..Chadwick alllll them shaking their head! In awe! Danzel Washington Halle Berry.. allll black folks are in shock. Look at Will he laughed at the joke! It wasn't until he looked at Jada and saw how she took it... Then he got up. Smh... It's just disheartening to see that... Will n Jada already caused strife at the OSCARS before... Now this... They din turned this distinguished event out! Smh

Nothing justified Chris humiliating Will wife. You humiliated my wife in public I'm a humiliate you the same place. If you can't understand a man defending his wife, then you need to question your manhood. There is no rationale for honoring my wife. Comics better be careful what they say. This isn't the first time comics have been assaulted for coming out there mouth wrong. What Will and Jada got going on in their marriage is between them. They both agreed that they could have entanglements. Chris lucky it wasn't a street dude because they probably would have pulled out a gun. Comedians need to go back to just saying jokes and stop personally attacking people with jokes. Times are changing people are sensitive today better be careful. Will Smith just set the precedence for what could happen to comedians in the future for coming out their mouth wrong. Kevin Hart talks about his own family he don't talk about other people's family that's why he's the biggest comedian today.

I am not surprised that Rickey does not agree with what Will did because he like Chris Rock is one of the bitch made Black men that think it is okay for our men to publicly criticize and ridicule Black women about our appearance choices whether it be our wigs, weaves, lashes, edges etc. No other race of men criticize their women like Black men. There was no need for Chris Rock to comment on Jada's hair whether he knew about the Alopecia or not. Will treated him like the bitch he should have because Chris Rock was a bitch for ridiculing her hair.

@Will Williams You're absolutely right, that is a real woman's response. Unfortunately, our culture thinks that putting hands on someone is a display of strength. But it's completely the opposite. Will (and many others) can say that he was protecting his wife, but anyone who believes that's how you protect us, you have a lot of elevating to do. There would be no satisfaction, or pride, in seeing my husband stain his name & reputation over someone's words. Much respect to you & your wife. 🙏🏽

As a woman, I would never want my man to stand up for me in that way. What does a woman gain from allowing her man to put himself in a precarious situation in the name of defending her like that? Only a foolish woman would think that behavior was Ok. Yes, by all means, stand up for me, but do it in the right way. What Ricky suggested would have been more appropriate. I am saddened a disheartened by the whole situation.

[@crystalspruill2931]

Right, they have footage of Jada smiling and laughing about it. She provoked the whole thing cause he was laughing until she gave him the go get him look. As a woman we know our men and we know when and how to stop them from ruining their careers. Why didn’t she stop him? And why did she provoke him and let him continue to tarnish his name? 🤦🏾‍♀️ His speech afterwards showed a broken man. I honestly thought the whole thing was staged and now I’m on the fence. The video of her changed my whole mood tho 🤦🏾‍♀️ to know what she’s put him through (cheating on him and talking about it in detail publicly) then to provoke him to make himself look bad it’s all just sickening to me. I feel bad for him and I wish he would have went about it like Ricky said.

Being compared to GI Jane is actually a comparison of strength, determination, courage, and the ability to do what is considered 'masculine' as a woman. Women can be beautiful with or without hair.

I lost all respect for Will Smith, and if you really look at the take, his ass laughed at the joke himself it wasn't until he looks at his controlling ass wife that you try so fuckin hard to get her approval, and saw that look she gave his ass , it was then and only then when he decided to go up on stage and make a complete ass out himself and if that wasn't enough, goes back to his seat and kept it going with that shit which came out his mouth. I always thought he was a stand up guy until that night and as for the Williams family I would have been so pissed at Will because this man just get an award for his roll he played as their father. Will us a punk and is a pyssy for Jada. He has a history of hitting ppl in their mouth but he knows who to hit, bet that. Final comment, he could have waited till after the awards to confront Chris if it was that damn serious, but Chris you held your composer but had that been me, Will would have had his ass kissing that stage, and he walks off like he really did something great, bitch sit yo punk ass down.

[@dantrelljohnson6754]

People are forgetting that Will was also laughing at the joke along with everybody else in the audience until he saw that Jada wasn't laughing. So evidently he thought the joke was funny as well. He could've told jada to chill its just a joke or he could've apologized to her for laughing if he wanted to make her feel better. At the end of the day comedians tell jokes about everybody so what makes her exempt? Im sure other celebrities dont like all the jokes comedians say about them either but they dont walk up to them and slap them. What happened to FREEDOM of speech.. Violence is never the answer

I know for a fact no matter what was said if Chris Rock was any other race Will would have probably done what Rickey said he would do but there is no way he would have walked so boldly on that stage and slapped the person no matter what Jada's expression was. The fact that our race is the least respected by the world is shown even by our own. It's just a sad day that all the years of hard work Will has done over his career is going to be overshadowed by his actions in one moment. Aaaaand he's a comedian... the number of jokes he has told at the expense of others is countless and I'm sure he never stopped to consider their feelings.

I won’t say how someone should feel about something being said about them or their family but I just Will practiced more restraint. But it’s clear, he hit his breaking point… after 30 years he lost it. Now if he would have been arrested I wouldn’t be bothered by that either I mean he probably would have been released before he even made it to the precinct cause I’m sure his lawyer would have beat him there. But it would have been good to show that he is being held to the same standards as others. Cause I also thought he should have been removed from the show because we know if it were a lower level celeb they would have been removed.

This was not to put Jada down or embarrass her in anyway. Will was totally disrespectful and as much as I love Will I’m pissed! Everyone is talking about the Oscar’s.. I don’t care if they were at the liquor store it was wrong! Jada did not get in his ear. Will allowed the Devil to get in his way. He could have simply discussed his discomfort in privacy. Chris was humble yet let’s keep it real it’s humiliating. We as African Americans have got to do better. I’m sure Jada doesn’t appreciate this either. We can not assume that she was in agreement.

Thank you for telling it like it is…..this was an ASSAULT. Mature adults discuss things!!! Getting physical is NOT THE ANSWER!!!

I agree with Ricky to the fullest. Will could have handled that situation in a totally different manner. I applaud Chris Rock on the strength of how he handled himself as a PROFESSIONAL MAN. Will Smith disrespected his own self by being publicly humiliated and manipulated by his wife. And the G I Jane remark was a compliment not a joke.
