Will Smith vs Chris Rock

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Shannon said twice what I said in here:

Comedians are going to be worried now. This is pretty much unprecedented.

Sharpe is insane. Watch that full segment:

*Sharpe was critical of ROCK, not Smith. Sharpe implied that Rock should have been prepared to fight back.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

What is the Juwan Howard response?

JUWAN: "Damn straight, brother."

[JIBBBY]

Leaning not rigged also after further review, still you have to wonder? This has the world talking now and it's making both more famous then ever. The bitch slap heard and seen around the world is top headlines bottom line.

Will Smith is much bigger and younger then Chris Rock. Still you get bitch slapped like that and I am swinging back especially if the entire world is watching even if I know I'm gonna get my ass beat.

Chris Rock while controlling his shit, playing it cool and probably did the right political thing on stage right after the slap but in all honesty he looked like a bitch if you ask me. Can't just sit there and keep talking after getting bitch slapped like that!

Will Smith Says “Called By God” To Slap Chris Rock

It was the slap heard ‘round the world – when Academy Awards ceremony host Chris Rock made a G.I. Jane joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s bald head and her husband Will Smith jumped up on stage and assaulted Rock. Not only did security NOT haul Will Smith off to be arrested, but just a few minutes later Smith was back on stage, accepting the Best Actor Oscar and tearfully effusing about being a “vessel of love” and channeling God by defending his family.

Will Smith is on drugs. It's not a normal reaction.

The Board of Governors today initiated disciplinary proceedings against Mr. Smith for violations of the Academy’s Standards of Conduct, including inappropriate physical contact, abusive or threatening behavior, and compromising the integrity of the Academy.


In their statement, the Academy also said “Mr. Smith was asked to leave the ceremony and refused, we also recognize we could have handled the situation differently.”

Will Smith is on drugs. It's not a normal reaction.

No I think he's still whipped on his cheating 50+ year old bald GI Jane wife that's banging his sons friend. Open marriages never work out in the end. It's an abomination. Can drive a man or woman crazy. No man wants to see and hear about his wife banging a young teen stud especially at Will Smith's age.

Will Smith needs marriage counseling, an anger management class and to go to church on Sundays and find Jesus if you ask me for starters to get his head right.

Will is obviously frustrated with his marriage. He took his anger out on Chris Rock. GI Jane joke pretty mild compared to Rebel Wilson and Regina Hall jokes about Smith.

I did not read all the posts. But just read this:

“Well, nothing,” said Gervais, “as I would not have made a joke about his wife’s hair. I would have made a joke about her boyfriend.”

The comedian was likely referring to 50-year-old Jada’s “entanglement” with much younger R&B singer August Alsina, 29, who claimed he had had an intense affair with the actress. After years of rumors flying around about what had actually gone down, Will admitted last September that he and his wife were in an open relationship.

However, Gervais did seem to poke fun at the hair joke following the Academy Award smack when he retweeted an old bit on alopecia from “The Office.”
Many social media users seemed to agree with Gervais, wondering why the “Hancock” actor would strike a comedian over a joke — and not the man who was bedding his partner.

“You can f–k my wife, but keep her name out yo mouth,” mocked one Twitter user.

One of the female comedians made fun of Lebron’s hairline at the Oscars.

Wonder if Lebron was there would he have slapped a ho?

Yeah, Lebron is like 2X Will Smith

Will Smith is much bigger and younger then Chris Rock. Still you get bitch slapped like that and I am swinging back especially if the entire world is watching even if I know I'm gonna get my ass beat.

Chris Rock while controlling his shit, playing it cool and probably did the right political thing on stage right after the slap but in all honesty he looked like a bitch if you ask me. Can't just sit there and keep talking after getting bitch slapped like that!

He couldn't have handled it better IMO. The Academy will have him back for as long as he wants. If he fought back he'd probably never be asked back again. His shows are selling out and the ticket prices aren't exactly cheap. This is going to work out great for him. He handled it like a Pro.

[TheMoneyShot]

I still don't believe this was a stunt. So many other things you could have done to raise the "attention value" for this show.... like have The Rock Dwayne Johnson brawl with someone.... lol maybe give someone the Peoples Elbow? lol

Will Smith Slap Fallout: Hollywood Agent Says He'll Halt Work With Star's Production Company



As Hollywood continues to debate over what should or should not be done in response to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars on Sunday, one Hollywood agent says that he's done working with Smith's production company, Westbrook.






"I'm not giving Westbrook any projects. And I may even blow up the ones that I have that are currently in negotiations.

What's Westbrook without Will? Nothing," the agent, who requested anonymity, told TheWrap.


Founded in 2019 by Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, Westbrook co-produced "King Richard," which earned Smith an Oscar this past weekend, and several television series, including Netflix's "Cobra Kai," Peacock's "Bel Air," and his wife's Facebook Watch talk show, "Red Table Talk."
Representatives for Smith and Westbrook didn't immediately respond to TheWrap's request for comment.


While it's unclear how the fallout from "The Slap" will permanently affect Smith's near and long term plans, the agent compared Smith's situation to that faced by Mel Gibson and Tom Cruise after their reputations were damaged by their own very public outbursts.


"I think he's not setting up many — if any — projects until the fall. And he just cost himself a premium. His brand is permanently tarnished in regards to (four-quadrant films, which appeal to all audiences)," the agent said. "This just became his Tom Cruise/Mel Gibson moment, where he's always going to be a star, but he just went from A+ to A and gave people like Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart and Tom Holland a clearer lane."


Smith formally apologized to Chris Rock on Monday, saying in a statement posted to social media that "I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness."


However, that apology came nearly 24 hours after the Oscars when during his acceptance speech for Best Actor, Smith didn't actually apologize to Rock even as he apologized to the Academy. About that, the agent tells TheWrap it reflected poorly not just on Smith, but on Oscars executive producer Will Packer and the Academy too.


"Look, if my kids did this in school, they'd be suspended. If I did this at an event, I'd be escorted out, if not arrested — regardless if they press charges," he said.
"[Smith] got treated like a god, and he's not," the agent continued. "None of these people are. Will Packer handled [it] wrong, the Academy didn't do s—, and the speech was horrific to watch. Plus, [Smith] didn't even apologize to Chris Rock. And then partied all night."


The agent's comments are just a part of the discussion around the incident's repercussions on Smith's career. Read more about that here.
