What the hell is going on with will smith?

So was GI Jane pretty good then? I'm thinking based on this that it was really really good.

Nobody has physical assault coming due to a joke. If it's in bad taste let it fall flat, and if it's bad enough just tell the academy not to invite Rock to host again. This idea that we are cavemen protecting our women is ridiculous.

The joke was in bad taste. Assault has a higher standard in my mind than a slap to the face.

Sets a bad example for the kids....

Not staged, Smith broke down on National TV after winning the award for best actor trying to explain how life imitates art (the comparison between Richard Williams battle for respect for his family and his own). Chris Rock had it coming after making that vicious comment about Jada starring in GI Jane II. Her hair is like that because she is going bald from an autoimmune disorder.

Yeah, Will was so pissed about it he laughed at Rock’s joke…until Jada saw him laughing. Then, he had to get up and “be a man.”

Cmon dude, it was more of an uneasy polite smile at the moment of delivery until he felt the slow burn of discovery. Chris Rock spits em out staccato style. Remember too that this is the same guy that ripped Jada a few years ago with the line “Jada Pinkett Smith boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I wasn’t invited to that show either.”

I am in no way condoning Smith's violence. He should be arrested, and is lucky Rock is not pressing charges.

However, let's not underestimate the importance of hair to many people. Intentional or not, Rock's joke caused some real pain, and he should know better.

No it wasn’t. It was genuine laughing for five seconds.

And who cares about some joke from years ago. That’s what Rock does. Make jokes that at a ceremony like this usually entails making fun of a handful or two of people in the audience over the course of the night.

Think what you want since the camera was only on Smith for about a second by my count. Regarding Rock’s past Jada joke I was only providing possible context.

Actually I provided all of the pertinent details last night before they were made accessible for public consumption and now left wondering why the hell for? Yeah it was just staged that’s it. :rolleyes:

This. The better way to handle it imo would be to let the joke fall flat in the moment, then approach him afterward and explain what it meant and the pain it caused. They know each other. It isn't like some stranger in the mall following you around calling your wife a fat whore or something. But Will had to show his wife he was an alpha male protecting her honor in front of the entire world, because she cannot be embarrassed, you know along with everyone else who gets roasted at these things. She can laugh at them though, so that's ok. They should have handled this way differently than they did.
