Will Smith / Chris Rock - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Well, after the toxic display of masculinity at the awards show, where do you stand on the subject?

It was kind of a nasty joke, but the slap was unwarranted.

Rock apologized, and that should be the end of it. But it's good for several more days of media buzz.

The cops may become involved, despite the fact that Rock won't press charges.

I won't vote, no need to...They were both wrong and Smith apologized and Rock who knows, his comment was bad bad bad about Jada's disease.

Amazing how much space has been wasted on this nonsense...

I think one thing's for sure: Chris Rock's next hosting duties will turn this incident to comedy gold.

stevea · 03-29-2022, 04:50 PM

Another thing's for sure: the Academy is loving this publicity.

Chris Rock didn't even know about the alopecia. It was a G.I. Jane joke, not an alopecia joke. And even if he did know about Jada's disease, it is still no excuse for what Will Smith did. Smith behaved like a caveman, like an animal, no class at all. He makes me sick now. He is obviously so very, very unhinged and unbalanced.

Team Chris Rock 100%

I've always believed the scuttle that the awards are more about earning favor than actual prowess.

As such, I believe that its fair to conclude that Smith will never win another.

So, why not revoke the one he just got? Send an indelible message.

GentlemanJim · 03-29-2022, 05:52 PM

Or, conversely, if they fail to revoke his award, then what message are they sending?

Will Smith should have been taken away in handcuffs the moment after he hit Chris Rock.

One committed a crime while the other didn't. Big difference.

Assult, crime whatever, it should not have happened and Rock had no right making fun of Jada and whatever GI Jane or how ever it was meant.

I guess too all the parents that spanked or slapped their children should be handcuffed....that action is wrong too but it has gone on forever....I know different topic but just thinkin.
