Current Events > New video of Jada laughing right after the slap.

(+) Yeah! (+)

New footage from inside the Dolby Theater shows Jada Pinkett Smith's reaction after Will Smith hitting Chris Rock at the Oscars. A second video going viral shows Rock in the aftermath of the assault.

Someone sitting behind the Smiths posted a TikTok of the King Richard star walking away from the stage after the slap. When Rock tells the audience that "Will Smith just smacked the s*** out of me," it appears as if Pinkett Smith laughs. Smith starts yelling at Rock to "keep my wife's name out your f****** mouth" and the actress sits still staring at the comedian. Pinkett Smith seemingly laughs again when Rock declared the incident as "the greatest night in the history of television."

Like everyone said the day it happened, Jada was clearly cool with this.

Jesus, as if she needed to be even more unlikable.

Everyone involved except Chris Rock came off as pathetic

This was already posted and everyone was in agreement that she clearly thought it was a bit until he started yelling.

No. Whose agreement?

I've been telling you all. Jada made Will do that shit.

I mean, could anyone say it better than Chris Rock did? Wow, dude!

Denzel the GOAT

Yea. It definitely seemed like she didnt think Will was serious at first. Because her body language changes and after Chris Rock says something and everyone kinda laughs, she seems to awkwardly laugh too.

Jumping to conclusions too quickly, folks. People can laugh for reasons beyond amusement. An attempted avoidance at social tensions, or to save face and pretend like there wasn't embarrassment.

Trashy woman.

Everyone laughed at that part, because it was funny

I can't say for sure what was going through her head. But I personally would of laughed to Chris trying to lighten the mood so I could try to get pass the embarrassment as quick as possible. This feels like a giant reach with only this context.

I don't even care to defend Jada like that, but most speculation I heard against her are reaching so hard.

People been reaching for reasons to hate the Smiths long before this even happened. I dont get it either. They act like theyre part of the family or something lol.

Trashy woman.

She's toxic af, causing Smith to lose his damn mind. He needed to stay separated from her.

I like how Will Smith's actions are more reasons as to why Jada is a terrible person.

Idk. I definitely think it's possible she laughed thinking Will was messing around.

I dunno how you found that impression when they didn't even seem to look at each other at all in this entire clip.

People are like "you should just shrug off the joke and deal with it after". But then when she does that immediately after the situation she could of had nothing to do with escalates, now she's in the wrong for that. They're using speculation on top of their other speculations now. They speculate it was her that influenced it, then confirm that as fact with no proof and use it to say she now needs to act a certain way after, based on the first speculation that was never confirmed true in any way. Creating a rabbit hole of speculation.

I dunno if this post is confusing lol

Edit: I also just noticed there's no "I don't know" option in the poll. Making all the options based around speculation themselves with no more reasonable option for people who realize there's way more to relationships than what we see

This.

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/kareem-abdul-jabbar-will-smith-perpetuated-stereotypes-black-community-slapping-chris-rock-oscars-145518033.html

NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is expressing his own feelings on the matter, penning a blog post arguing that Smith's actions are a blow to men, women, the entertainment industry and the Black community.

With a single petulant blow, he advocated violence, diminished women, insulted the entertainment industry, and perpetuated stereotypes about the Black community, Abdul-Jabbar writes of Smith, echoing the opinion expressed on Monday by Todayhost Craig Melvin that it was "troubling on so many levels" for men of color.

Abdul-Jabbar argues the incident was more than just a slap to Rock, but rather a slap to women.

By hitting Rock, he announced that his wife was incapable of defending herself against words, he states. This patronizing, paternal attitude infantilizes women and reduces them to helpless damsels needing a Big Strong Man to defend their honor least they swoon from the vapors. If he was really doing it for his wife, and not his own need to prove himself, he might have thought about the negative attention this brought on them, much harsher than the benign joke. That would have been truly defending and respecting her.

This women need men to defend them is the same justification currently being proclaimed by conservatives passing laws to restrict abortion and the LGBTQ+ community, he continued, adding that Smiths self-serving acceptance speech in which he talked about protecting his family in the same way his character in King Richard, for which he won an Oscar, was tone deaf.

Oh we're still on about this huh

It's one those conversations where people dig into their bag and expose how they really feel about the bigger pictures. Because there's so little context we get that most of what you can do is project onto those involved. I say, keep exposing yourself people.

God damn right. I have heard Ukraine in since it happened

Tbf, people here are even less qualified to talk about that. I have no insight on Ukraine. But this is closer to something I can wrap my head around.

You'd still be on the more reasonable end if we look at averages. I wouldn't be surprised if an orgy happens after these events. Elites be doing the most.

I bet that stanks

Jada has been the reason behind will Smith's lowest points especially since the whole entanglement thing.

So yea she gets the blame ultimately the man has been driven to this point being the butt of all jokes.

jada and will have a palaptine/anakin type deal going on

You don't know either of these people never mind the inner workings of their marriage. C'mon now lol

Honestly, I dont think hes in a good place at all. People always calling him soft, people constantly making fun of his kids, Jada being a little crazy. Hes spent the last 3 or so years trying to open up about his personal life and I guess in a way vent. He had his book, and that weight loss thing he seemed kinda self conscious about. the man has a literal Disney show where he does crazy things in an attempt to find himself again.

and the only thing that happened is people made memes and fell for clickbait headlines. Hes trying to save a marriage he still very clearly wants to work. Even when he gave his acceptance speech. The crying didnt feel like tears of joy or regret. It looked like his emotions just all started to spill out

Im not trying to act like a psychiatrist or excuse his behavior, but what he did is completely out of character for him. This isnt the same Will Smith I grew up watching for the past 30 years. I think maybe just put away the pitchforks and the bloodlust and see if hes ok first. We always want to say we care about mental health, but then when someone out of character exhibits signs of needing that help we just continue attacking him. This isnt like Kanye who needs the help but has made it a habit and pattern going on 15 years almost. This is Will Smith. Im glad he had people like Denzel there supporting him after what happened. It seems like he needs more of that.

lmao @ how dead silent it is once everyone realizes it wasn't a bit

Lowest points in the public eye, that's not the behavior of a well adjusted happily married man.

When your going through it your going through it and they've ben airing out their marriage issues for awhile now.

Y'all act like Jada didn't force Will to pretend and accept that they had an open relationship on her own Facebook show. By his reaction, you damn well know it wasn't what he expected nor wanted.

Both of them are fucked up narcissist Hollywood assholes, but yea Jada is toxic. There's nothing wrong with pointing that out.

You can't really blame marriage issues on a single person regardless. The family has been pretty kooky for quite a long time. They're rich and eccentric.

Especially since y'know it was Will Smith who lost control of his temper in this scenario and his son also tweeted support for it.

When it comes to the actual slap itself Will is 100% to blame. We can only speculate on the rest.

It's fine saying he's going through shit and hit a breaking point but blaming that solely on his wife without knowing any of these people personally seems pretty unfair.

Lmao, this is so fucking delusional. Dude sitting here talking about what his crying must have felt like.

Some of you are really having trouble processing this.

Extra hilarious when Vipa is usually at the front of wanting people fired for things they might have said. But the millionaire actor getting attacked for getting up on stage to attack someone?

Overreaction. Have some sympathy.

They were in an open marriage for several years before that interview.

The only reason at all they spoke about it so in-depth was because of August talking about it in public

I mean, I just dont see why you want him attacked so badly. Millionaire actors are still human but its whatever. You all can feel however you want. I just know I had a breakdown very similar to that once and Im glad my family didnt attack me for it. And yes, I want people held accountable for being racist or hurting someone. Im not saying Will shouldnt be held accountable. But people are taking it too far and I dont see this as just another celebrity thinking hes too good for usthats a weird angle to take. Its not right to compare it to a racist making racist statements on twitter and being outed for who they really are. Like I said, this is out of character for him.

Attacked so badly? The fuck are you talking about? Nothing has happened to him. The Academy is barely talking about kicking him, which is the fairest thing.

You're accusing people of hating the Smiths when it seems like you like them too much and are blinded by it and making all these excuses. Regular people face far more scrutiny and consequences and they've never afford them any benefits of the doubt.

But Will Smith has an army of apologists and they're not even being subtle about it. They're clear that they love him so much, they can't picture him doing this and need to make all these pathetic excuses like an apologist.

*stands between Infinity and Vipa*

Lets just let let this argument die. Nothing is gained from it.

Like look at this timeline. It's entirely possible they have been in an open relationship for 11 years.

Will Smith didn't even slap Chris Rock over a joke about them having an open marriage. The joke was about her appearance.

People have been hating the Smiths for a long time, dude. Its no secret. But Ill leave it at that. No sense in getting worked up over it. I just dont understand why some people here are so mad, and still mad. But like I said its whatever.

You're conflating people hating them, with anybody criticizing Will for what he did on Sunday. It doesn't work like that. It's clear you don't see it as a big deal and have spent considerable time trying to downplay it. But have no ability to see why others might.

The whole planet is talking about it, and people are gonna have emotions. You're constantly here getting mad at shit, so I'm not sure why it bothers you so much.
