--------
Tony Rock shared his thoughts on the infamous Oscar night altercation between his brother Chris Rock and Will Smith. Tony expressed disbelief that after Smith slapped Chris during the live broadcast, he was not escorted out but allowed to remain seated and eventually collect his Best Actor award. Tony suggested that the first-time Black production team, led by Will Packer, might have been hesitant to remove Smith due to his status and upcoming award win. Tony didn't mince words about Smith’s subsequent comments, where the actor claimed the "devil" came for him during his Oscar victory. Tony dismissed this, accusing Smith of reacting impulsively to a joke about Jada Pinkett-Smith, especially when the couple had previously faced public scrutiny without reacting. He emphasized the hypocrisy, given Jada’s prior confident statements about her bald head. Tony criticized the selective outrage and public disbelief following the joke, pointing out that no one knew about Jada’s alopecia at the time. Ultimately, Tony underscored that public figures should expect to be roasted at events.

@@shhhaua9426 Yeah, he started crying because his mystique was shattered, not because he hurt Chris. It was all about him in that moment. I don't think Denzel was necessarily taking Will's side.

Jada Epstein

[@shalamigri]

Right! I can't stand when people say that BS. It don't have NOTHING to do with the "devil". It has everything to do with a lack of self control.

[@MJFlairs]

Actually it has something to do with the devil, but you're right about the self control part. In this case tho, will didn't interpret the message from Denzel correctly; will didn’t realize his wrong, so he thought the devil was Chris, but Denzel was saying the devil tempted him and he went for the bait. I think will still don't think he did wrong, I think he hasn't taken accountability for his lack of self control in the situation.

[@terryterrific3955]
