[@nikolaivista920]

That was bad! No doubt. But I still think the worst was when Willow (who has been raised in part by Will Smith) made the letter to Tupac public! That was super cringe since Willow herself never met Tupac!! Willow literally repeated everything her mother Jada told her about Tupac. And then put it all in writing on a letter to Tupac in heaven for the world to see/learn. That is super sketchy and sus!! That letter by Willow is the absolute emasculating public move Jada has done to Will Smith. Sad, just sad!

How totally alone in a crowded room was Chris Rock in that moment? Absolutely no one- not ONE person in that entire room tried to intervene in any way at all. F*ckin awful. I work as a nurse and have been assaulted by patients on two occasions and both times colleagues and other patients stepped in to protect me.

[@NoMoney67]

Then the crowd gave Will a standing ovation which was like another slap. 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@iambiggus]

When you were assaulted by your patients, were you actively making fun of their spouses genetic condition? In which case, it's not right, but definitely understandable.

[@fuzzykyrra]

@iambiggus I didn't refer to whether Will's reaction was understandable. Someone should have intervened regardless- an assault had just occurred. I was commenting on the inaction of the crowd. And no mate I don't go around making jokes about the spouses of my patients and I did nothing to povoke getting assaulted.

[@iambiggus]

@@fuzzykyrra Intervened? How? He got slapped, then it was over... in all of thirty seconds. EDIT: "I don't go around making jokes about the spouses" Well you're clearly smarter than Chris Rock.

This! And I believe it’s from him allowing her to humiliate him for so long not even having the same energy for Tupac and August Alsina that he had for Chris over a joke. She never had alopecia she had a partial face lift and thats the scar it leaves. That slap let us know how weak he is.

Chris Rock handled this the best it could be handled in the situation. he was in a mild state of shock And yet his pro-stand up comedian reflexes and instincts kicked in and he did a great job of protecting the integrity of the show by making light of the situation. And then... he served that revenge cold! And the final line of his Netflix special magnificently explained why he didn't do anything back. Watch it if you haven't seen it.

[@FMD023]

The fact that they allowed Will to give his speech without an apology blew my mind. He didn’t even deserve to win an Oscar for that role. Will had all the chance in the world to address how wrong he was and couldn’t. Dude even complained when Netflix gave Chris rock his own special after.

The only thing to feel sorry about Will for is being in a cucked relationship, his “wife” has openly embarrassed him multiple times, then him slapping Chris Rock was like his Stockholm Syndrome moment by defending what essentially is his abuser. Hollywood was fine with it because they like the idea of “words = violence” in political terms, it’s considered ok to assault someone if they hurt your feelings.

To this day i can’t believe Joe hasn’t broke the slap down after all the UFC slow downs he has seen. There is no slow mo of the point of impact-they make sure to show you right before and after. Will has a 60 pounds and height on Chris and a full wind up shot doesn’t move Chris’s feet 1 inch? C’Mon man this was staged for ratings. Nobody watches these things-then they sat around and came up with idea to have John Cena walk across stage naked. There’s always going to be something so they did “House wives” type of event/acting with Will and Rock. Seriously try and find a full length of the swing , then making contact,then follow thru, don’t let your brain trick you they have multiple cameras and angles on this and you’ll never see point of impact and actual slowed down point of impact and look at Chris’s body and feet after “hit” it doesn’t move from impact-just a little lean.

But Chris Rock makes one harmless joke about her and he'll ruin his whole career when she clearly doesn't love him. I mean for crying out loud she married Will the year after Independence Day made him a household name and now his kids think that they are entitled to his wealth. Didn't Jayden say that when he moved out that he wanted his father to pay his bills for him and relies on his father to get him acting gigs? Will needs to man up and take that power from them and divorce Jada he needs to find a woman who will respect him instead of use him.
