Shame on those that didn't come to Chris Rock's defence after being assaulted on live television. More shame he was given a standing ovation soon after and shame on those who try to defend those actions. Sad situation but the victim is not Will Smith who had a fantastic after party.

[@THEREALZENFORCE]

@Eric No name 1) old videos surfaced when Will made fun of a bold man 2) it was ok for you for Jada to humiliate Will on live TV with her affairs 3) So according to you bad morals, it's ok to hit people when you are mocked, so you are the same narcissist as Jada and Will. 4) Chris is the victim of physical abuse by Will, and Will is the victim of psychological abuse by narcissist Jada (watch TheraminTrees channel to understand the abuse) 5) Will was first laughing at the joke then looked to Jada and changed his way to go slap Chris. 6) Will would have never been on stage to slap the following celebrities if they made a joke about his wife : Dwayne Johnson, Mike Tyson, Jason Momoa, 7) Will was lucky he did not knock out Chris, he would loose all future movie contracts, loose most of his friends and be prosecuted and go to jail and pay millions in damages. In many countries, state prosecutors would have opened a case against Will for his slap (the victim pressing charges or not would not matter), he would be at least fined if not maybe imprisoned 8) Will Smith is a coward, even his Oscar apology is fake, he got a standing ovation after using physical violence an he went partying after the incident.

It’s the entitlement and narcissism for me. He felt entitled to walk on stage and slap someone in the face simply because he was offended.

It really makes my stomach hurt how so many people think this is okay for whatever reason. One thing I have to say is, I give mad props to Chris. I have elevated respect for him more than ever. Will is a POS for what he did. The ultimately sad thing is that Will will never be held accountable for his barbaric, unacceptable and violent action.

[@beninformato9040]

The gentlemanly action to take in a situation like this would have been for Will to simply reach over and hold his wife in loving support while simply shaking his head at Chris's joke. That simple, gentlemanly action would have spoken louder, to his wife and audience, than any actions or words by Will. See, acting like a gentleman has been mostly lost in this day and age. It's a shame. Being a gentle man (gentleman) doesn't imply weakness but maturity, refinement, and class.

Whoopi, You are one of my favorite people in this world, and I usually agree with your views. We even share the same birthdate. You are very influential, and you missed a huge opportunity to cry out against violence. I'm so disappointed you didn't use that opportunity to say, "Physical violence is unacceptable and will not be tolerated on any level or for any reason." Being mad or having built up anger doesn't excuse or explain physical violence; point, blank, and period. One of the reasons why we have so much black on black crime is because, to many, it's no big deal. Black mothers will continue to weep as they lose their children to violence until a clear message is sent that it's unacceptable and will not be tolerated; no matter the culprit. Do you have any idea of how many of our black boys and men are in prison or in their grave because someone "disrespected" them, and they responded in violence? If this had been a white man who got up and boldly walked on stage and slapped Chris or any other black man because he said something offensive, your response and the response of many others would have been different. I'm not playing the race card. I'm calling a thing A Thing! You, I, and the rest of the world should be outraged. There should be an outcry. I'm a 58 year old black woman, and this comment is my outcry. Will earned the award, so he should be allowed to keep it. However, he should have spent that night in someone's jail, and he should be suspended from the Academy Awards. By the way, I'm a huge fan of Will Smith as a actor. The man is brilliant. But brilliant or not, you DON'T violently put your hands on people! He snapped? The only things in this world that should be snapped or snapping are turtles and beans. Snapping is an excuse people use to justify violence. Still unacceptable. If any of us have anger or unforgiveness building up within us, we need to be proactive and get help. See a therapist. I promise you, you'll be glad you did. If you're not, see another one. My point is this, hold yourself accountable by getting the help you need.

@@sabercat5490 I disagree. And as a person who struggles with my mental health (and emotional trauma) it's really annoying to me when people try to justify violent behavior with the excuse that the person is probably suffering and their behavior is a "cry for help". It's not. People who ACTUALLY deal with mental health issues are far more likely to harm themselves than anyone else. Violent people are usually bullies who get angry when others don't kowtow to them the way they want. It's about entitlement and ego, not emotional trauma.

[@sabercat5490]

@@eklectiktoni I am not making an excuse for his violent behaviour. I do believe Will could have handled the situation much differently. However, not everyone is able to respond to pent up anger, sadness and frustration in the same way as others and just becuase you and others do not resort to violence due to have mental disabilites or suffered trauma does not mean there arent persons who are out there that are like that and are in desperate need of help, to help properly express those actions without violence and to slowly become relieved of the trauma. Also because people like that exist that doesnt make them "unhinged" like you described nor does it make them a bully. Especially because the only reason for his response was to escetially defend his wife's feeling by being a "man" about it. The two, that being Jada and Will have had a very rough relationship and this maybe one of the ways he was trying to prove things to her. When more than likely she doesnt really care. Which is why i said he needs help cuase he is in, at least in my opinion a very toxic relationship. He said so himself. "Love makes you do crazy things". Perhaps he just needs to leave her and be by himself to find himself before things get more out of control as it stands. Keep in mind I am saying all this as to why i say he needs help NOT to defend his violent actions.
