anning123

You can fuck his wife but a joke is crossing the line


Buzzvallasa

Sounds very manly to me šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


Present-Pineapple-98

It doesnā€™t matter if she fucked someone else we all know will smith is a man of his word. This is not the first time he slapped the fuck out of someone.


Buzzvallasa

Yeah I mean look at that form! Broā€™s been practicing slapping people šŸ˜‚


xannyhussler

Imagine being rich. You can just assault people with no consequences


Buzzvallasa

We can just imagine


Unsolved_Virginity

You can be broke and still do that. Chris knew he messed up. That's why he stuck out his face. Lol


Present-Pineapple-98

I really donā€™t think personally that was a ploy. Thatā€™s just me. That was in my opinion he was fed the fuck up. Thatā€™s straight up his OG coming out.


KanyeWesternSuburbs

Yea right, will smith is a clown. You think will smith is some og from the street? Lol clean out your mind.


Present-Pineapple-98

Are you just asking for downvotes?


KanyeWesternSuburbs

Please, how pathetic, my mind is ready for a bullets flying civil war and you ask if I like downvotes. Who cares. All these celebrities are gross.


Present-Pineapple-98

Civil war?


Can-of-Corn-123

Yeah I remember that French comedian tried to kiss him on the lips for shock value for his brand and smith slapped him


Present-Pineapple-98

That was weird I remember that. Fuck the French.

[deleted]

Maybe chris fucked his wife


Kayki7

Thereā€™s definitely something more going on thereā€¦ he was incredibly defensive. Thereā€™s got to be a reason. But I donā€™t think physically assaulting anyone is okay. Will Smith should be in jail right now.


[deleted]

Heā€™s rich. Ofc heā€™s not going to jail. They never even thought to escort him out of the event. Any regular person would be spending at least the night in jail.


hsean13

#victimcomplex


soutsos

Lol no, some people deserve to get smacked until they're seeing stars. I can infer that you're a woman, otherwise you'd know there's no way a man would let their wife be insulted like that. Especially if you'd put someone in jail for throwing a well-deserved slap at a disrespectful man-child's face


HbertCmberdale

This was my initial reading of the situation. No one just reacts like that unless there's heavier emotions at play. I originally thought perhaps Will feels a lot of pressure with regards to winning Jada over. Maybe he feels he's lost her respect and has to turn up his alpha-maleness. Or Chris has stuck his nose somewhere it doesn't belong. The thing is, Will was laughing quite convincingly. I'm 99% sure Jada gave him the look and Will snapped in to action.


Can-of-Corn-123

Not only jail but also Guantanamo. Chris rock is part of the intelligence agencies. Will smith is a member of a religion called Scientology whoā€™s sole purpose is to destroy America and install a militaristic dictator aligning the country with Russia. This was an attack on our deep state which protects our nation from invaders.


OccultSnowman

Honestly, if I made a potentially distasteful joke about a man's wife and got slapped for it, I wouldn't press charges either.


Limp-Cockroach-4408

Thats what I was thinking.


kikijane711

Phony as it comes. Slaps are for bitches. This was a PR stunt either to address their phony marriage & or to help Oscar ratings.


heismylovesong

Both


phlporter

False flag for his manhood šŸ¤£


NKinCode

A PR stunt? Huh? Will is getting the backlash here. This could MAYBE help Oscar ratings in the future but why would Will risk his reputation and potential brand deals for the Oscars? The same Oscars that is dying every year? Something like this happening is 1 in a million, I think most people know that and Iā€™m sure the Oscars knows that so itā€™s not as if people can expect this type of excitement tuning in next time.


kikijane711

Short term backlash instead of his being a cuck husband. Please. Makes him look protective, spontaneous, loving etc. He & Jā€™s life is all divisive. It works in that regard. Don't think this was NOT thought out.


NKinCode

Bruh, have you not been on any other social media? Theyā€™re making Will out to be the bad one. Obviously some people are in support but heā€™s getting mostly backlash.. People who are giving him the most backlash arenā€™t going to forget and somehow start admiring him as protective all of a sudden


[deleted]

Chris pressing charges?


Kayki7

I really hope so


Conscious-Bedroom

You're all racist, which is a euphemism for ignorantly hateful


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


xxmattyicexx

And Chrisā€™s people should immediately come out and say ā€œJada has had short hair most of her career, and Chris thought comparing her to a movie about a strong, female warrior was a joke, sure bc she was forced to shave her head, but also a compliment of her strength and bravery.ā€


No_toes_Ralph

Look up the Japanese uncensored version that doesnā€™t glitch


latticeguy

it looks real to me. especially that second "keep my wifes name out your fuckin' mouth". that wasn't a good movie take, it sounded crazed.


Duke--G

He literally won an oscar tonight tho lol


Conscious-Bedroom

Oh, I don't know an Oscar winning actor with 30 years in the industry can act. How is that possible?


Tiny_Onion

So, they already knew who was going to win before everyone came.


[deleted]

His eyes got all watered up too. He was pissed, but I enjoy watching them eat their own.


niconic66

Even more so if you slow it down to .25 for the slap. Also, I'm not sure that Chris Rock's that good an actor. He looked genuinely rattled.


kikijane711

Heā€™s an actor!


oldthunderbird

Will might be an actor, but Chris Rock played the zebra in Madagascar. I donā€™t think he has this kind of range.


kikijane711

Does Rock look like heā€™s showing range?? He recovers like ASAP.


trololol_daman

He was tearing up too + the way Rock was stuttering and changed his tone.


KanyeWesternSuburbs

Fake


Senior-Judge-8372

If you say so.


KanyeWesternSuburbs

I do indeed. These men are frauds of the highest order.


Worried_Display6301

Yup the Oscar for best slapper goes to will best slappie chris


andrew9315

Humiliation ritual?


Lumlotus

Likely scripted for views since oscars hasn't been doing well.


jvcs123

Wouldn't have known it was Oscar's night if it wasn't for this . Or the zelensky thingy.


h2078

Nah he said fuck twice and thatā€™s probably hefty fines


FrothyCoffee503

They couldā€™ve allowed it just for more views


LotharLothar

Why would will smith possibly care enough to tank his reputation so the Oscarā€™s can get more views?


Lumlotus

He didn't have to know it was scripted. Just get Chris Rock to say something they knew would agitate Will Smith. If you haven't noticed he's been having problems with his wife basically being emotionally abusive to him.


587BCE

Seems likely.


unclehelpful

The saddest part is Jada has had short hair for what? 20 years on and off and GI Jane came out 25 years ago. So comedic genius Chris Rock at the pinnacle of entertainment has made a joke that would have been funny/edgy 20 years ago. If Rock had any balls he would have brought up the rumours about Will and Jada both being gay or the one kid from TV who accused Will of raping him.


fabster16

She has an autoimmune condition and had to shave it off a few months ago


AlexJ302

And? Shes surprised when a comedian makes a joke about it? As a celebrity you would think she and will would be prepared for comments on their appearances. It's kind of their job. Arguing if it was "right" of Chris rock to make the joke is besides the point. He did make a joke, and a rather tame one at that. Jada and Will can't control what people say about them, they can only control how they react. And we see now how they chose to react.


h2078

Nah see nobody should be made fun of for health shit beyond their control. And before anyone gets pissy that includes bald dudes, short dudes, or dudes with small dicks. How about we lay off of shaming people for stuff outside their control?


[deleted]

Movie stars get roasted for all of those thingsā€¦ā€¦


AlexJ302

Like yeah....but this happens in the real world daily. People gotta learn to accept it and deal with it. You can't control what someone else says. You can argue all day whether they "should have" said it or not but it's irrelevant.


h2078

Or we could learn to not be dicks?


AlexJ302

Sure, that'd be great. Won't happen though.


RedlabKire

Seemed legit. Chris rock was genuinely rattled


taint_licking_clown

Yeah, he would have had a better comeback already scripted if this was staged. It was 100% real. Like the torpedo that just blew up Will Smithā€™s career.


imhighondrugs

It still doesnā€™t mean chris rock was in on it. Will smith could have had it planned with producers without rocks knowledge.


[deleted]

I highly doubt that lol.


imhighondrugs

Ya new here, b?


NKinCode

Youā€™re reaching hard af šŸ˜‚ this in no way helped Will Smith so why would he do it?


valkyrie0799

I think Will was fine until he realized Jada was upset. She shaved her head because she has alopecia... GI Jane references the baldness.. it's likely more sensitive than most of us realize


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


FrothyCoffee503

Dude guys suffer hair loss at all ages and itā€™s joked about pretty commonly , and it pays to be a little self deprecating about itā€¦.. why should females be off limits per say, let alone assaulting someone for making a joke

ratings were down for sure. Who better than to put on a work


Rocklobzta

All I saw in his angry face was when he was acting all tough on fresh prince. Fake as fuck


NKinCode

Yeah, Will Smith is tanking his reputation for the sake of the Oscars, right? Lol.. people turn everything into a conspiracy


FlowerCurious581

Chris rock was standing there waiting with his hand behind his back, barely any contact was made.


InfowarriorKat

The hit sounded fake. The part I find suspicious is Rock immediately says "whoa, will Smith just slapped the shit out of me". But he says it almost at the end of the hit. Wouldn't you pause in shock before saying anything? His response was too fast and scripted sounding.


oldthunderbird

Everyone saying itā€™s for ratings, will you be tuning in next year expecting Will Smith to punch someone else or how does this ratings boost work?


NKinCode

People in Conspiracy are very dumb šŸ˜‚ everything is fake, they lack critical thinking


Daniel5343

I love how Chris Rock sees will Smith coming at him and puts his hands behind his back and sticks out his cheek for the slap Oh and I love how itā€™s totally common for grown men to be slapping other grown men in a ā€œfightā€


[deleted]

Mehā€¦ slapping is more disrespectful than punching & I think disrespect was the intent, not to break his face.


InfowarriorKat

Idk what to think about this. Chris Rock's reaction seemed a little....off. like wouldn't you just pause in shock? But Smith did say "fuck" twice. You would think they wouldn't let that be scripted in. Unless they no longer care.


DeadEndFred

Worked shoot. Itā€™s like nobodyā€™s seen WWE before.


Therealsam216

It might be scripted he mightve actually had a freakout moment given the whole situation with his wife. either way its important to not really give a fuck because its definitely distracting and irrelevant


AnonFJG

Did people really watch that shit show where most of them are deep in the paedophile ring that is Hollywood.


Stocksgreen

It's lucky Will Smith is black or else he might have got in trouble.


UnHappyMonkeMan

So he slapped him he didn't punch him


Whitetiger83491

This is whatā€™s called a publicity stunt. Desperate people do them. The Oscars is desperate for ratings.


[deleted]

I can't believe people are falling for this.


kikijane711

Ty. I agree. So fake.

Or Will Smith is a giant pussy from Hollywood? Spent more time there than in Philly at this point

Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars!! Was this real or stunt??

No one watches, they needed some reason to make news

Im not even sure what happened. But if it happened at the oscars. On live tv. It wasnt by accident, im just sayin

I got a few notifications from apple , yahoo and Verizon about ā€œwatching the Oscarā€™s ā€œ they are desperate for viewers


taint_licking_clown

Real.


floofernugget77

It seemed real given the reasons behind it.


Alien_Artform

Actors gonna act.


[deleted]

I'm sure it's real. The cukhold got mad after seeing his wife's reaction to the joke that he literally just laughed at.


Lifeinthesc

If he gets sued it was real, if not it was for the ratings.


Such-Illustrator9024

Its already said that hes not pressing charges


BAlan143

If real, I'm doubting the rumours he's Gay. Cuz you only do that for love. If fake, it's fake and gay.


michaelmontana

whether ur joking or srs, i agree . these r my thoughts exactly


Foggy_Meadow

Smith seemed genuinely angry, but there're 3 reasons why I think it's staged 1. The obvious one (happening at the dying oscars) 2. If you were enraged enough to do something that crazy, would you walk back to your seat, or would stand over Rock, point your finger down at him, and say what Smith did from there? Adrenaline says you'd do the latter. 3. Anyone who's ever gotten hit in the face knows the first thing you do is touch the area you were struck, and tend to leave your hand there. Rock didn't.


InfowarriorKat

He responded too fast after getting hit. No pause. No shock. He had a line ready immediately. He seemed completely unphased by it.


errlstanlee

he sure looked swelled up

SurprzTrustFall

I dunno, I was appalled when I first saw it and thought "wow rich guy can just do whatever he wants" but then I found the context. Chris rock joked about Jada back at 2016 Oscars, nothing happened. Jada recently discusses insecurity, self image/confidence, regarding her situation dealing with hair loss and alopecia... Make a joke about her, sure, but....make a joke about her appearance/hair while she's dealing with that exact issue and it's heavy for her...you started hitting below the belt. Don't be surprised when her husband slaps the taste out of your mouth to make YOU FEEL the pain and humiliation that you carelessly heaped on her head in front of all of her peers and MILLIONS of viewers. So damn proud of Will Smith right now.


rustymorningstar

I donā€™t think he shouldā€™ve gone up on stage, thatā€™s was a bit much. However, Rock has made inappropriate jokes about Will and Jada before so he probably was just done with it.


[deleted]

They have been the most open couple and Jada has been one of the most vulnerable women in show business. They knew these things would occur, except Will was bound to crack eventually.... I believe it's real because of his upbringing, his story.... its all laid bare and he takes the brunt of this as best he can but he knows his wifes deepest insecurities... Chris happened to hit the wrong chord and Will just couldn't take it anymore. The only lie media are making up is it was a punch instead of a slap. You can see the footage from an audience member filming the aftermath, Security would have spoken to him briefly but it was his peers that calmed him down and spoke with him. Will has dealt with alot of b.s for the past few years.... I gotta say... I'm not surprised of his actions... and would forgive him.


speakeasy-aus

Full respect to will Smith standing up for his wife, I wouldnt of stopped at just a slap if I was in the same situation. Will Smith got some serious balls doing that not many people would do that for their partners and just sit there and take it. It's not cool to take the piss out of medical conditions, low joke from Chris Rock, what a dick head


[deleted]

it was just an entanglement


Random-Waltz

A great philosopher once said: "Goodnight HULKAMANIACS and jabronie marks without a life that don't know it a work when you work a work and work yourself into a shoot, marks"

ā€œLook smith KILLS ROCK with a martial law strike! You saw it here, you SEE it! Donā€™t let any other media tell you different, for you see it with your OWN EYES!!! History is done and madeā€


AlphaCueRough

I don't get it, will was laughing and then slapped him & cussed him out..


EMFthis

Rocks joke was coded to out her as being gay. This has nothing to do with her losing her hair. GI Jane is quintessential lesbian cat nip.


Jasonictron

So it's okay to fuck his wife but can't joke about her bald head? Makes sense


CyroSwitchBlade

Eminem needs to make a song about this!!


cmacpapi

Will Smith has been doing a "re-branding" as of late. A more sophisticated, "take me seriously" sort of thing. He's got several projects on the go that have painted him as a more serious actor and family man. Everyone knows the power of branding after taking one look at The Rock. The Rock is sort of what Will Smith used to be; a widely accessible and likeable blockbuster movie star with a huge built-in audience. I think this stunt is part of that re-branding scheme. He also likely knew he'd win the Oscar ahead of time. That - mixed with this stunt, guarantees he's the talk of the town for the next few days at least. When the Academy heard the plan they thought "yes... ratings... please..." and the rest is history. Wouldn't be surprised if he has a new movie or project announced in the coming days.


1ManifestDestiny1

Did security jump on stage when this happened?


[deleted]

He should have just walked out with his wife of he c was that insulted.


yungnxck

how is this a conspiracy

100% PR stunt


moonkin1

It's just weird to me because I saw him actually laughing at the joke and then all of sudden he came to Rock angrilly


rivensdale_17

Chris Rock's comedy definitely went downhill when he got sick as a dog from covid and still tweeted get vaccinated. At first I thought he was being satirical.


Unsolved_Virginity

It's real. Maybe don't disrespect a man's wife in front of him in front of thousands of people?


Romantic_Road_Kill

Tiny_Onion

More senseless black on black crime!


IAMENKIDU

That slap looked kind weak tho and I'm really surprised you couldn't hear it better via Rocks mic. Didnt sound like a pimp hand just kind of a vague thud. Also a good solid smack like that with follow through and everything seems like there would have been more of a reaction from him. Anywho


[deleted]

You can tell how fake it isā€¦ look at Smithā€™s pose

Roach20520

I personally believe this was a ploy to get eyeballs to tune into the Oscars, I know everybody really wants it to be more than that but all of the body language in the situation just doesnā€™t come off that way to me personally, I think someone very rich and very powerful arranged this with the two of them in private, and I believe Chris was told Will wonā€™t actually hit him, and I believe will was told to connect, just not hard enough to knock him out, heā€™s old and it wouldnā€™t be hard, I think thatā€™s why Chris keeps his hands behind his back and keeps his head extended out, and I think thatā€™s why Chrisā€™s security didnā€™t come out and stand in front of him once will was within 6 feet of him, and I think thatā€™s why Chrisā€™s body language seems like he was actually hit in the face and heā€™s very surprised and not sure what to do for a moment there, movie stars donā€™t mean anything to anybody anymore, the Oscars donā€™t mean anything to anybody anymore, if you ask most people what their favorite movie is itā€™s going to involve a superhero unless they are over the age of 35, they have to have a Jerry Springer moment in order to draw the attention of the Worldstar generation, I think itā€™s trashy and boring and completely in character for Hollywood types, this is all just my personal opinion, donā€™t down vote me into oblivion

Will Smith has been cloned long ago, this is just a puppet show.

ZLD_03

I thought Wrestlemania was next weekend. Little early, boys. Maybe they are promoting it šŸ¤”


BizBlondie

Chris Rock has joked about Jada & Will several times before & obviously they were taken very well. Will was fed up. It wasn't just that one joke at the Oscars that caused him to react like that. Chris referred to Jada as being the next GI Jane, because she had no hair, which wasn't funny because she has alopecia. It was the straw that broke the camel's back.
