Got a theory.
If Chris was 6'2" and looked like Morris Chestnut (and was still married to Wife #1), the sistas would have been more split on who they supported.
Will is more "handsome" by their standards and puts up with Jada's shyt, so they side with Will.
Now.....imagine that Will was married to Bryce Dallas Howard, Sharon Stone etc. Chris makes some joke and Will reacts by slapping him. All the sistas defending Will would be calling him a k00n. Anyone saying otherwise is a damn liar.
So....they give zero shyts about him defending Jada, except for the fact she's Black and they find Chris less attractive than Will.
