NOBODY has heard from Paul Rodriguez in 20 years! This has-been is just piling on the Will Smith slap incident to feel relevant again.

[@scorpionoir4952]

The slap was the initial shock but the part that disturbed me the most is how he casually walked back to his seat with a smile on his face as if he was untouchable. Where was the rage and anger at that moment? It was entitlement that made him think he could put his hands on someone over words. To make things worse the expletive laced shouting from the audience was jarring for an audience of people that were previously having fun. Will ruined an enjoyable moment for everyone in that audience and they would not be wrong to ask for a refund for their ticket.

It's the way how he never had made mention of this before because he probably thought no one was going to believe him.

Or he's probably trying to get money and thought this was the perfect opportunity .. it's funny how people start to believe something without fact-checking

@@SpaceFrogee he was replaced because he didn't show up on set on time also he had a discourse with other actors in the film. Now he has his own studio but it's not popular... And it was a different guy who said that to him not will. All this is strictly for clout basically. Just to make it short.

I'm glad he stood up for his wife that was so cruel what Chris did, he deserved what he got, there's is just something's you don't joke about he crossed the line

[@NC1195_]

@@dianahaist6073 one of the woman who hosted the oscars made a worse joke about jada being to open about her cheating on will. The joke that Chris made is mild, it wasn’t offensive at all, and it was a joke that wasn’t meant to put her down. What is wrong to be compared to G.I Jane? Isn’t she a strong powerful woman? He didn’t know she had alopecia like the rest of the world didn’t. He thought she shaved her head as a look, because she shaved her head many times back in the 90s. Will laughed at the joke, while jada was rolling her eyes. “Defend” his wife over a small joke isn’t “brave.” He made himself look weak and small in front of the world for being offended over that. When the world was making a lot worse jokes all over social media about his wife cheating with a kid. He made it worse for jada, if he didn’t slap Chris the joke would’ve been forgotten, but now it will be remembered forever. If he was a real man and a gentleman he would of spoke to Chris in private. Now will’s career is taking a big hit over this, it has already made damages that he cannot fix. So yayyyy will for defending your wife who cheated on you with her son’s friend and embarrassed you many times on her show, now his career is destroyed because his wife. I like that he slapped Chris for the little joke but not the men who had affairs with his wife.

I can believe him. I think Will Smith has shown his true colours. The venom in his voice at the Oscars showed he had real issues with his anger. If he can flip as quickly and easily as that it shows he has no control over his emotions. His son’s comment ‘this is how we do it’ is also quite revealing and also he admitted that he was working on himself. Obviously not hard enough!

@@MrStatic156 if you look into it, he actually has a long history of violence. one of the most well known one was his 1989 assault of a promoter that left the guy almost blind. it's just that his victims always either dropped the charges or never filed them like chris rock because he's an a-list star. people just seem to think he's a good guy and filter out this fact because he played heroes on screen

For Rodriguez to think "Sh*t, I'd better write this down", doesn't bode well for Smith.

Will thought he was untouchable. He was sadly mistaken. Did he really think he can get away with assaulting someone in public on TV? I can't wait for more stories on how he treats people.
