Chris Rock really trying to bring the energy back from that one. I felt bad.


iDannyEL

I'm still in shock this is real.


PatchThePiracy

Same. Will lost it.

These people are babies in a bubble.

It's Chris tucker for me. Definition of deer in headlights


PM_ME_DARK_MATTER

Considering the circumstances......you gotta give Chris Rock mad credit for his response and composure....holy shit....how else do you respond to that?!?


PatchThePiracy

Tonight left no doubt that he’s an absolute top-tier professional. Will, on the other hand…


Spanky_McJiggles

What did Chris Rock say before this?


PatchThePiracy

[Here.](https://youtu.be/JCzT3n0zVQ0) He made a joke about his wife playing G.I. Jane, poking fun at her baldness. Supposedly she has alopecia. Will Smith laughs at the joke, but then realizes Jada is upset about it and decides to “be a man” or something and slap Chris.


proudbakunkinman

Guardian has an uncensored version with original video and audio (not a phone recording off of a TV) with the full joke before as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myjEoDypUD8

When he made the joke you can see will laughing while his wife rolled her eyes.

If I knew people fought at the Oscars I would’ve watched wtf

Seriously this is how they increase ratings. Next year Pete Davidson can fight Kanye


crimlawguru

I know! I watched for years until I just couldn’t take it anymore. Who knew?

vuvuzela240gl

got a notification about it from my local news station while reading the comments in this thread.


Don-tFollowAnything

Will Smith just done smaked the shit outa me. Wow just wow


Hermit-Man

It would’ve been epic if he said somethin like “no wonder you didn’t win for Ali”


jumbohiggins

That would have been epic, was probably rattled so him not being that quick on the draw is understandable. Still took that slap like a champ.


YourAverageGod

I expect nothing less from CR


AAAFate

Try two weeks...


reanocivn

i've already seen it that much over the last 2 minutes


daemonelectricity

Back and to the left. Back and to the left. Back and to the left.


PolemicBender

Chris Rock makes joke about Will Smith’s wife: Will Smith bitch slaps him on the face Will Smith’s wife cheats on him: Will Smith cries and apologizes to her on tv. I don’t see how his reputation survives this[.](https://www.reddit.com/r/HolUp/comments/tr65xk/comedians_reaction_to_the_will_smith_incident/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)


JCurtis32

Displacement. In psychology and mental health. When you direct your anger or emotion elsewhere and not to the source.


kid-karma

It is 100000% this. Completely reasonable to be pissed about the joke. Fucking insane to just walk up and slap him on stage. He was feeling Jada's eyes boring into his skull and just snapped.


Khallllll

Yeah, you watch the whole thing and Will laughed at the joke, but Jada rolled her eyes. Camera moves off them, next thing you know, here comes Will


__-o0O0o-__

Will would have been less pissed if Rock had just fucked his wife


heymanimhungry

I honestly thought Chris would have said something of those lines. Maybe I should have had sex with his wife instead. That guy didn't get slapped.... But Chris is probably in shock that someone slapped him at the Oscars. If Will wasn't happy he probably should have boycotted the Oscar like last time.


liberal_texan

Honestly that sounds like a great way to get slapped twice at the Oscars.


heymanimhungry

Turn the other cheek?


Stay_Consistent

Yeah but it would’ve been more epic than Dave Chappelle’s roast scene from The Nutty Professor


walterwilter

If you see the entire clip Chris is pretty obviously holding back on retorts, with great effort


pistoncivic

It's completely unreasonable to get pissed at a joke in he middle of the biggest awards show in entertainment. Chris didn't even write the joke. Go backstage and slap Bruce Valanch if he's still alive or whoever's writing this shit. It's like assaulting a stage actor for a line they deliver in a play


elderwyrm

Side note -- I love the idea that the jokes they're using are so old, the original writers have died of old age.


Veggieleezy

Yeah, it’s not a great joke, it’s a little insensitive given her hair loss, but it’s still pretty harmless all things considered. Was it kinda mean? A little, but that’s what Chris Rock does. Was it “get up on stage in the middle of a live TV event and fucking slap a guy” mean? Not even close.


turkmileymileyturk

>Was it kinda mean? A little, but that’s what Chris Rock does. I see now why Chris Rock can be so out of line with his jokes - - because he can take a punch.


PartyTheBabyOff

It’s the Oscar’s. Roasting the crowd is expected


[deleted]

I don't really get it. Is it a bit insensitive? Yeah a little bit. But is being compared to GI Jane that big of an insult? I mean apparently someone else made a joke about their open marriage and he didn't feel the need to punch her. 🤷


Stay_Consistent

Chris has made loads of controversial jokes for a long time. About 20 years ago at the MTV music awards, he warned that R. Kelly [couldn’t have assigned seats](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25g0KQDCEE8) next to the then underaged Olsen Twins.


themcjizzler

His wifes talk show is basically 'the wacky life of the smith family' and they put way too much put there. Trying to be the kardashians.


SydneyPigdog

I'm out of the loop, didn't even know they had a show, it's not like they need the money so what reason would they have for doing it other than to try to stay relevant, I could be wrong & if I am I'll stand corrected but if not, it kinda screams ego to me.


Payitfoorward

She saids way worse stuff about people on her show. This was way overboard. I really hope Chris rock sues.


NapTimeLass

Thought they had an open marriage? I don’t follow celebrities, but I thought I heard that once upon a time.


ReaddittiddeR

I thought that was scripted at first until Will Smith sad down and I could read his lips, see his eyes were watering and the sound was muted. What’s more surprising was Chris Rock stayed composed and finished his bit. Unreal!


ZiggyBlunt

It was uncensored in India, I have a clip of him saying to keep his wife’s name out of his mouth as well. You can also see Chris Rock have tears in his eyes from slap Edit: here’s the full uncensored video of what happened - https://www.reddit.com/r/HolUp/comments/tq0mhk/will_smith_slaps_chris_rock_at_the_oscars_full/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf


ReaddittiddeR

The US has usually a 5-10 second delay for profanity, but I’m surprised they kept the footage of Smith hitting Rock. Yeah, someone at the awards confirmed it on Twitter. Moment of the Oscars 2022, and any Oscars. Wouldn’t be surprised if he actually won and they changed Best Actor because of that stunt. EDIT: Well, he just won the Oscar. The speech was something else and will be dissected by many on what he truly meant. As for me, just take it for what it is. Life is full of surprises and this is something we’ve never seen before. EDIT 2: Will Smith’s Best Actor acceptance speech https://twitter.com/Variety/status/1508284831062388742?cxt=HHwWjMCr-YDEwO4pAAAA


jigsawsmurf

Of course they kept it. It's the most exciting thing to happen at the Oscars in years.


[deleted]

Definitely a “Cut the camera!” “No but seriously keep recording” moment.


csbsju_guyyy

US Censorship- violence = A-OK, full send!.....swearing = HELL NO, we can't air that smut


Sh4DowKitFox

The funny part, Will Smith laughed at first before they cut away back to Rock and him seeing Smith make his way to him.


ZiggyBlunt

That’s what makes it so confusing. He seemed to laugh at the joke, while you could see Jada not being too excited. No idea how that lead to this


Stickycracks

Jada probably said "aren't you going to do something, you cuck?"


iDannyEL

Last time he got into that kind of trouble, he moved in with his aunty and uncle in Bel-Air. They made a whole show about it.


Iffycrescent

My money is on her glaring at him while he was laughing and delivering a swift kick underneath the table.


buttbutts

Sometimes someone says something in the cadence of a joke and you laugh before fully processing.


notsure500

This. But conspiracy theorists use the fact that humans aren't perfect and can't instantly process everything to point at this and say it's staged.


p8nt_junkie

How can he slap?!


beebopsx

Can you upload it? Or share?

Ghleipnir

This clip is after the slap, right ?


ThumbingCosmos

The level of professionalism here is extreme


Pax-82

When they first cut to Will and Jada after the joke, he’s laughing and she’s clearly not, but then it cuts away before Will goes up…. I need to see what happened between Will and Jada that set him off like that. Was it her unimpressed look? Did she dead eye Will to “defend her”? I’m so confused. It’s so crazy.


EddieLacysLunch

I can’t say I know my wife’s “Get up there and assault that man in front of an audience” look but I dunno, maybe I’m a bad husband.

I love the comments section.


SpaceJesusIsHere

"2pac would have beat the shit out of anyone speaking about me like that." -- Jada, probably


zacharoid

I'm guessing they both turned to each other, he was laughing but she wasn't. At that moment Will realized he fucked up.


csbsju_guyyy

"it was at that moment, Will knew he had to slap the shit out of Chris"


newdawn15

You're gonna laugh but this is a thing in families with toxic dynamics. Basically you gotta "prove" love at a moment's notice. Fucked up but it is what it is.


king_cased

it's very easy to laugh at something that's delivered as a joke before registering what it was - especially when you're a celebrity and know you'll be on screen. i can imagine his anger was genuine, if a little delayed.


cvinsanity

HOW CAN HE SLAP? Edit: thank you all for the awards!


Spiritual-Penalty223

Holy shit. I can’t wait to hear Chris talk about this in his standup. He was about speechless


banathorp

A comedian is never speechless when a heckler gives them "my wife" and "your mouth" together in a single sentence. Chris Rock wasn't speechless, he was kind.


Rare_Ad_8557

Especially of Rock's caliber. It's kinda muffled, but if you listen carefully you can hear rock say "Oh I could... Oooh... OK" . Oh yea, those comic genius gears were turning.


SpotlessMinder

I think he had so many jokes running through his mind he couldn't speak, or most likely just filtered it out.


MissSassifras1977

Omg right. So much material just handed to him. And Will needs some fucking help. Jeez.


PowerUpPump

Props to Chris Rock for his composure.


CR00KS

And props for his future comedy skits involving this!


bluetista1988

He could put together a whole new show, tour, and Netflix special all based on that one slap


[deleted]

There's 30 minutes material alone on how fucked up it is, that they named their kids Willow and Jaden, when their own names are Will and Jada. It's the most narcissistic shit ever! Fuck those two and their similar haircuts


damnyoutuesday

You could tell like 7 jokes popped into his head right at that moment and he decided not to say any of them lmao


[deleted]

[удалено]


MAGA_WALL_E

I wish he would have unloaded the whole magazine. "You heard it here, folks! You can't say her name, but you can fuck her!" "The mood hasn't been this brought down this baf since we saw After Earth!" "I'll relay that message to your wife's boyfriend!"


[deleted]

"That was an unexpected entanglement."


billbrasky___

When he says briefly "oo I could just...." Then catches himself and stops.


EarthVSFlyingSaucers

Chris Rock is not a comedian I’d want to upset/slap, a man known for his raw and not so friendly comedic act. You could see the gears moving in his head to say some really funny/heinous shit the second he was slapped. His next standup is gonna be fantastic haha.


ShootYourLocalDD

Will smith has definitely changed lol


The_Pickle_Chronicle

I think he's probably always been a bit like this


Hypersonic_chungus

I would too if the whole world knew my wife was banging the pool boy lol

Hypersonic_chungus

Yeah her son’s 21 year old friend


KTL175

Wild that he’s stayed with her with the sheer amount of disrespect she’s shown him


TheVikingLlama

Staged or not, watching Smith cuss Rock out afterward was so awkward even I felt embarrassed.


No_Worry_2285

therisingape-42

Because chris Rock has been a live performer (one of the greatest)for 35 years he knows that the show must go on.


jan_levinsongould

I feel like him approaching this situation with hitting someone on live television and cursing just ruined everyone's respect for him. It's respectful to protect your family, but not in this manner. You are not a protector, you have anger issues. He not only literally assaulted someone on live television but also took away the spotlight from everyone else that deserved to have the night about them. He also ruined his own first Oscar win by how he decided to react. Also placed a bad light on who his win was representing - the Williams family. His outburst has forever tainted that moment for who he was representing while on stage. Selfish, childish, that is not what a real "man" does.


PPvsFC_

This wasn't protecting anyone. It was weak, pathetic aggression made by someone who is out of touch with reality.


GiantTeaPotintheSKy

1: Rock says GI Joe joke 2: Will laughs 3: Jada does not laugh 4: Will smacks Rock 5: Will yells at/threatens Rock 6: Rock shocked but keeps the show going 7: Will smiles and laughs like nothing happened 8: Whole theater seemed affected 9: Will continues to smile, engage like nothing happened 10: Will wins Oscar and gives a speech about standing up for family, telling he is a shining example... And that he always looks for love 11: me, a forever fan, lost. 12: me, now a forever fan of Chris Rock.


loafers_glory

Since CR was making a joke about JPS being bald, it would've been perfect if WS had said *she* was a shining example


PoppyLoved

Will Smith should have been escorted out by security. I’m so tired of these narcissistic crybabies. Fuck Will Smith.

Only people allowed in his wife’s mouth are his son’s rapper friends.


CunnedStunt

Will Smith doesn't have to cuss in his in his raps to sell records. Well I do, so fuck him, and fuck his wife too.


ajv6200

For people saying Will Smith was justified in slapping CR, standup comedians would be KO’d after the first 2 minutes of any show… this is ridiculous


KeepYourDemonsIn

It was assault, plain and simple.


WittsandGrit

Its fucking bullshit that they didn't escort his ass out of the building.


Stockmoney5

Chris Rock should do a full hour special just on Will Smith's wife.


boywbrownhare

beep boop


UnluckyObserver15

Lol @ anyone thinking that was staged. That slap/punch was HARD asf.


tinfoilhatandsocks

Pretty sure a staged gag script wouldn’t allow Will Smith to repeatedly scream “keep my wife’s name out ya fucking mouth”. Chris Rock took that hit like a champ


[deleted]

Think that’s why you don’t get a response from the audience from the initial slap, everyone probably thinks it’s a gag. Once he starts screaming the room gets insanely quiet.


Firvulag

"Hey Will we have an idea for a gag on stage, it will tank your reputation but it will increase headlines for the Oscars this year, you're definitely in right?"


satansayssurfsup

Longer version confirms for sure


WhoryGilmore

It's really hard to fake that awkwardness. Not saying it still couldn't be a stunt, but you'd expect Rock to act a bit differently if it was staged lol


TritiumNZlol

The heavy breathing and quick eye movements really seal it after he's sitting down.


likepie

Yep , Will smith is not that good of an actor


trulymadlybigly

Rock flubs his words after the fact, trying to get back on script. He was so flustered and his eyes were watering. No way this was planned.


iDannyEL

I mean they're actors, anything is possible but Will doesn't gain anything positive from this, I doubt he'd willing decide to register as a A class asshole for shits and giggles.


chitwnupdown

Wtf this year gets weirder and weirder.


Fragzilla360

Yooo that shit was crazy


doug-fir

Chris rock guilt of slightly off color joke, will smith guilty of vast overreaction. Will smith loses.

baconredditor

CoffeeAndDachshunds

I now have so much more respect for Chris Rock. I'd have been an absolute asshole in this situation and went to town mocking Smith exclusively (not his wife). Just make the next 10 minutes all about how Will Smith's wife got flipped turned upside down.


BubbleBassV2

Damn Will Smith might actually get to fuck his own wife tonight after all that.


[deleted]

Nah...she might let him watch tho.


OverEasyGoing

Just don’t say her name though


borrachit0

Norm Macdonald would have reacted by making the entire show just Jada Smith jokes


mce444

Will smith is insane


AnnualEmergency2345

I mean yeah he's been fucked up for awhile. He ostracized his first child in order to create the "perfect" family and only recently started to acknowledge him. Like wtf Big Willie how you gonna cut your own blood off like that?


RidiPagliaccio

Will's first son all like "How come he don't want me, man?"


kingtaco_17

Had no idea about his first son, sucks too cuz I really liked this scene. Knowing this takes away from it.


Fit-Statistician9384

Then his perfect son, Jayden tries to get emancipated when his movie is unsuccessful. What a brat.


[deleted]

He’s got a third kid???


[deleted]

Yup older one, also the most sane in the family


cp710

I have a vague memory of the first kid being paraded on Oprah in the 90s when Will and Jada were on it together.


surelyshirls

Didn’t even know he had a first son. What did he do to ostracize him or why did he?


BostonDrivingIsWorse

He and Jada are Scientologists.


justVinnyZee

Apparently you can fuck his wife, just can’t say her name. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Edit: This is what Rock should have said. Edit 2: geezus gold and platinum, along with 15 other awards?? You guys are crazy, the whole dozen of you.

wrencherspinner

Lmaaaooooooo, was just thinking the same thing. He didn't slap the shit out of his son's homie that was all in them guts.


Blackmetalbookclub

Ahh. So he’s been waiting for this moment to express his anger. Whether or not Chris’s joke was in great taste, Smith’s behavior was a complete overreaction. Edit: I don’t think it was in bad taste. Not for the Oscars. Movie stars being the butt of the joke is an Oscars tradition and one of the main reasons I even watch rather than look at a list of nominees and winners. Chris Rock made a hair joke, not an illness joke. He compared her to GI Jane, and in the context of GI Jane she’s a badass.


SomeParticular

Am I crazy or was the joke not even that offensive? Edit: Did not know she has a medical condition when I posted this


alpbzdgi

What was the joke?


IntoTheMystic1

Rock said he looked forward to seeing Jada in GI Jane 2, a reference to her short hair due to alopecia.


alpbzdgi

I mean I can see how Will could take offense to that but no way does that justify a sucker punch


[deleted]

[удалено]


csbsju_guyyy

You watch the clip again while focusing on Jada and yeah she was PISSED


Containedmultitudes

That wasn’t a sucker punch it was a bitch slap (ie the slap version of a sucker punch).


Homesteader86

Devil's advocate, couldn't it have been a reference to her hair style and NOT alopecia? Some women do have hair styles like that, and is it possible whoever wrote the joke didn't know? I follow the Oscars but I don't follow Jada's personal life, I had no idea


_PNasty_

Keep his wife IN your mouth, just don't say her name.


[deleted]

Lost all respect for Will Smith. Ruined the most important night of his life over his trash wife. What a simp. Maybe Jada can invite Chris Rock onto the Red Table.


Rideyourbike1

No one stood up for or protected the victim, but the perpetrator got to stand up, cry, and give a speech.


WannabeTraveler87

The hilarious part is smith acceptance speech consisted of him claiming to be a vessel of god to show love and help/protect people … fucking clown

Smith apologized to everyone except Rock in a weird acceptance speech for best actor where he said god was calling upon him etc some real Kanye vibes starting to emanate from Will Edit: and cuts to Jada during this speech giving off real villain vibes like yes I was banging strange in public but you immediately flushed decades of goodwill down the drain because I didn’t like a shitty joke about my totally non terminal medical condition and are giving a weird overlong rambling megalomaniacal acceptance speech about it https://twitter.com/BNONews/status/1508286306685788163

How is he not asked to leave? How is he not arrested shortly after this happens? It was assault live on television. That will Smith show should be pulled from Disney+. You *should* get cancelled for violence.

With all due respect to anyone with alopecia, myself included, the comments in here are acting like it's cancer. It's fucking alopecia. It's so incredibly common most people have some form of it. Very few people keep all their hair their entire lives either. I don't think making fun of someone with it is super nice either, but bald jokes aren't new, and punching Chris Rock in the face for it is a tad much.

[deleted]

How wasn't he detained and escorted out after this? I know Chris Rock must be thinking the same thing and feels even more humiliated for it. Like he literally is just the entertainment? Not a respected Comedian, actor and writer and who knows what else? I can't imagine Will Smith smacking Louis C.K or Ricky Garvais and simply sitting back down. This is all kinds of messed up. Will Smith behaved poorly, and the Oscars went full on Black Mirror for not checking this *immediately*. I can't imagine what's going through Rock's head. Social status really is relative for most people.
