(+) Yeah! (+)

https://www.etonline.com/why-will-smith-did-not-watch-chris-rocks-distasteful-netflix-comedy-special-200360

"Will apologized to Chris and would like for Chris to let it go," the source added. "Will has worked on himself and he is banned by the Oscars for 10 years. He feels like thats enough and wants Chris to move on, so that he and everyone else can too."

The source also told ET that Smith is "upset" that Netflix gave Rock "this platform" to express his views.

"Will is also upset that Netflix was a part of this and thinks Chris insulting Jada again is below the belt," the source added. "He is upset that Netflix gave Chris this platform to share these messages and thinks its distasteful."

Can't slap a streaming platform.

Ok... now I feel bad

He assaulted someone. He should be in jail.

Did Will Smith like the new Avatar? Has he played Hogwarts?

If a source said it that must be true

Can Will Smith see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

Don't throw hands in front of a crowd if you can't take the backlash.

Will Smith gave Chris Rock basically a blank check by hitting him, can't whine about it now.

I can tell you why I love them.
cinna-dust milk. =)

Does Will Smith truly understand the complexity of being Will Smith?

I'm sure everyone that ever hit anybody would like the victim to move on. I think it's great if Chris Rock can make some money off of this and speak out on it at the same time. Don't hit people.

Chris Rock didnt say shit until this.

Will and Jada wouldnt shut the fuck up. Let chris say his piece and let it blow over.

The Smiths really dont know how to shut up

Surely he knows that making these statements is just going to bring more attention to it, right?

I didn't even watch/know about the new Chris Rock special and only know about it from hearing about Will Smith complaining about it <_<

The guy walked up on stage in front of the world and slapped an extremely successful career stand-up comedian. What exactly did he expect to happen? Heckle a comedian from the audience and you might get 5 minutes of being torn apart. Slap one on national television and I don't think it's unreasonable to expect you'll have a segment in their next Netflix special.

He probably owns a pitbull and consistently watches Cart Narc

He should show his conviction by not doing Bright 2.

Whats he gonna do now, slap his TV?

Will Smith can't slap his way out of this one

Will's so pathetic now, I can't even watch his old movies anymore

To be fair to him this isn't an official statement. It's a 'source'

At most he whined to his people and someone went to the press.

Was the Chris rock special funny?

If you got somebody then you dont get to decide when theyre over it.

How long do you think the average person gets in jail for a slap ?

So Chris was upset that Will slapped him. The beef was between those two. So why did he spend most time going after Jada. What did she do to him beside get heckled ?

Not to mention what sparked the original incident is he attacked one of the only black women in the audience for no reason whatsoever, thus prompting the slap

No one goes to jail for slapping someone, shut the actual fuck up you pearl clutching troll.

It is wild how many people online suddenly think hitting someone is the worst possible thing you can do.

Absolutely nothing. Hes just a piece of shit who deserved to get slapped for being a piece of shit, everyone has inexplicably decided hes the good guy here because a slap is now the worst thing anyone can do, and hes continued being a piece of shit in the exact same way since. Emboldened by the internet mob turning on will smith for introducing the piece of shit to the concept of consequences.

Judd Apatow saying he could have killed him! is the funniest thing that came out of this debacle

Will Smith mad

He will be fine, he's still crazy rich and can snuggle up to that money. At least what Jada will let him keep. His wealth and status is WHY he felt like he could just walk up and slap anybody anytime.

Bitch should have kept his hands to himself on national TV if he's so butthurt dealing with blowback lmao...

So you see nothing wrong with what Will Smith did?

Will Smith watching the Chris Rock special:

The way some of you guys are talking makes it sound like Will is a serial slapped.

I love how it was just a slap. Way worse shit happens over way less on the streets but by all means lets focus on rich people.

Anyway, who tf is this source? If this is actually true then Will Smith really is a bitch.

There's a line for people mad at Netflix specials.

Will Smith is not a victim getting his legacy shit on by the public.
Will Smith is the one who turned around and shot it himself...over a woman who's shown she doesn't even give a shit about him.
And he got physical over it on a televised event for the world to see...

That's 3 justifiable things for the public to mock.

If you're a nostalgic Will Smith fan pissed about anybody being critical over his recent fall from grace and televised family problems, address your complaints to the man himself. He's the one who pulled the trigger and told the public it's open season on his reputation. Not Chris Rock.

The man you're a fan of is trying to commit career suicide for stupid reasons that have literally been admitted to on media...by the family. You don't blame comedians and other critics for laughing about it, you tell Will Smith to stop punching himself and crying victim. You remind him that the narcissistic lil harpy sitting next to him at the Oscars is not worth hitting anyone over. You remind him to fucking control himself.

Will Smith needs serious therapy and probably a good damn divorce attorney, but that does not excuse his behavior. If you want to treat him like a victim, you best be prepared to find out the assailant needed to be charged has been himself.

Who the fuck cares what Will Smith has to say about this (or anything)?

Netflix is still paying Chappelle for content. I doubt they even blinked when they booked Rock for a special.

Imagine punching someone on national tv and then telling them to move on because you have

Did he really think this would go away? Rock is making money off this, Will destroyed his career simping for a woman who would rather bang her son's friends than him and worst of all, if the thinks THIS is something to get mad it just wait til South Park goes after him. Being torn apart by comedians is a no win, you assault them they'll just laugh and make more money, you try to clap back and they'll destroy you even harder because they do that shit for a living. it's a no win to fuck with comedians

The funny thing is those people dont even watch them either. They just see a tweet or blurb about it from somewhere and then base their outrage off of that

damn now i have to watch it

Not really, no. Most of you people would be applauding some random dude who smacked a guy for insulting his wife (repeatedly, by all accounts). Its only because its will smith and it was at an important event that anyone is on the other side suddenly. As Chris rock himself said, its because Smith did it in front of the white people.

Rocks behavior since has only shown further that he deserved it. Hes still insulting Jada for no damn reason to a mass audience. Clearly didnt get smacked hard enough.

See, youre clearly fine with people getting smacked, youve just weirdly decided this ones bad for idiotic reasons. This is the same as basically everyone else.

Youve all got your threshold for it being okay, you just think insulting his wife wasnt a good enough reason because you say so.

And did colorism and slavery jokes. You can't complain about not acting up in front of a white people. Then tell slavery jokes, and colorism jokes.

I defend comedians at the best of times and this is a comedian you flat out assaulted in front of a crowd on a huge stage and faced no consequences because you're wealthy.

Will needs to shut up and take his licks.

If anyone on CE jumped on stage and bitchslapped Chris Rock, they'd be prison right now

yes, because theyd have to break in to be able to do that, not be sitting in front of the dude. You dont go to prison for very long, if at all, for slapping someone, even if they press charges.
