I forgive him, but I want to know if CE has. The public has turned against Will Smith and this has to change.

Sounds dramatic if I say no but it's bullshit that he never really apologized for it and was never punished for it.

If any non celebrity jumped onto the stage and attacked a celebrity, they would be in prison. Will Smith gets a pass because he's rich.

It's just another example of rich people never ever suffering any consequences whatsoever for their crimes and that sucks.

So, I don't know the whole ordeal on why the slap happened. Chris Rock referred to Will's wife as G.I. Jane 2 because her hair was really short and took offense to that?

Chris Rock said she had gangly feet with unkempt nails and Will Smith took umbrage.

He made a joke about her being bald, Will got his ass on his shoulders, walked up to the stage, and popped him. It was just some dumb Oscar joke that nobody would have remembered in ten minutes and Will turned it into one of the things people will always associate with Jada.

So A+ on that.

She and he both took offense to it because she has alopecia, not just because her hair is short. He started with a laugh, she did not; he then made eye contact and saw Jada's expression and thought he was gonna be in the doghouse for it so he had to "defend" her

He didn't take offense at all. He laughed and thought it was funny. It was only until he turned and looked at her, that his whole attitude changed.

Anyway fuck him. He acted like a bitch because he is a bitch.

Yeah from all accounts and to be fair this is tabloid shit basically since it's mostly within the hiphop community, but she sounds a snake.

Okay, I wasn't aware she had a condition like that. I only knew about the slap and what Chris Rock said. I understand it being a sensitive subject.

iirc, she said she thought it was a joke/bit at first.

idk if it's something she should be blamed for coming out and saying she didn't condone it.

That clip where she's bragging right to his face about cheating on him like it's a righteous thing and he's just sitting there about to cry... it's one of the most uncomfortable things I've ever seen. It's emotional abuse and he shouldn't put up with it. Dude would seriously be in a much better place if he just left her toxic ass and found someone who actually cares about him.

I feel bad for him in that situation.

He slaps a guy for making fun of his wife's medical condition and he's the bad guy. To be fair to Chris Rock, I believe he was fully unaware that Jada had a medical condition.

Ironically, the woman whose condition was made light of is the real villain in the situation. Will was laughing until Jada prodded him to go do something, then she threw her husband under the bus on social media by saying that she didn't need to be protected like that.

Smith has often been noted for achieving groundbreaking success throughout his musical career, and with his work as an actor in television and film. He has been cited as one of the "greatest actors" of his generation by several publications.[152][153] Forbes referred to him as the "biggest movie star of the post-9/11 era".[154] His transition from music to acting has influenced multiple rappers to also become actors, with him being cited as a pioneer for the rappers crossing over into acting by Complex.[155][156] In 2006, Time named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world;[157] in 2008, Esquire named him one of the 75 most influential people of the 21st century.[158]

He deserves our forgiveness. He made a mistake and people are going to hate him forever for it

It mostly seemed strange that this was played out as some cool moment first. They were interviewing some celebs right after the show and many were praising Will. It's like people decided it was wrong afterwards.

But to answer the question, I don't care either way.

An opinion not worth much if it rates physical assault ahead of whatever Chris might've said that didn't make remotely as many headlines.

Bruh, she went bald. I know it was a medical condition, but using that term implies something a little deeper.
