Yea Kathy is right. Will just set the precedent if you dont like a Comedians joke go up on stage and punch/slap them in the face.

This could get worst and they get stabbed or shot for it.

Not many who were actually at the Oscars it seems.

But all the interviews after the show of people defending will was dumb. Let's not normalise getting violent over a joke.

It was definitely a mistake letting him come up and accept his award. Even without pressing charges he should have been escorted from the premises and honestly even though it's his first award it wouldn't be unreasonable for them to rescind it.

But hey, maybe when Sean Penn totally follows through on smelting down his award he can give the slag to will to put on his own shelf.

This. I hate when dumb bitches pull the "this sets a precedent" line. No the fuck it doesn't, because literally nobody else has copycatted Will's actions and nobody will either.

There's no precedent to be set if nothing has even happened yet.

I don't have a particular care about what kind of fallout Will Smith gets from this I'm just saying the academy & the rest of the Hollywood moguls don't need Chris Rock's permission for anything.

Long term even if nothing happens I think Will Smith will heavily regret what he did yesterday.

especially when 99% of Hollywood is full of pieces of shit with skeletons in their closet anyway.

I think the damage was done. Will wont be remembered that night for winning a best actor award but for assaulting another man on live TV.

By the definition of the word it's still assault. There are varying degrees of severity as to the assault itself.

stop with this macho bullshit where because someone had a joke in bad taste you HAVE TO PHYSICALLY escalate the situation.

Your ego getting slightly tarnished isnt grounds to hit someone.

It's also hilarious because it sends the message that women are these fragile people with mindsets of 13 year old girls. That one joke made by a comedian (whose job is to roast people) is apparently so, so bad that her husband has to go up to a comedian and assault him.

Will and Jada are both grown ass people. There is no need for assault.

Nah the discourse since this has happened has become absolutely wild. Rock made a lame and dated joke, Will overreacted and smacked him and cursed him out, and now everyone is acting as there is some larger statement about society here.

All these people will be fine lol

and Im also not going to discredit her feelings because my wife suffers from alopecia as well and Ive seen her brought to hysterics when shes had moments of clumps of hair coming out. Its bad in general, but imagine youre in your 20s and your washing your hair and you pull out a handful of it.

but at the same time, what will did was not the right place or time.

and to be fair the only reason people talk about his marriage is because they felt the need to make it public.

so he cant sit there and use that as an excuse when he and Jada sat there and filmed a tell all to a national audience.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/will-smith-lambasted-howard-stern-chris-rock-oscars-assault-1235120757/

What you saw on TV was a guy with real issues, said Stern of Smith. Thats crazy, thats crazy when you cant contain yourself.

You dont provide security? a bewildered Stern asked. You dont have someone come up there? Chris Rock was just trying to make people laugh at the fucking ceremony, which was so long and boring.

Stern also suggested that had a larger, more menacing star specifically Jason Momoa or Dwayne Johnson made the exact same joke, Smith would have remained seated, like a bitch.

Comic Nikki Glaser called into the show and said she was also shocked, adding she was worried about what Smiths actions signal to others who dont like a joke at a club and attack a comic over it.
