Will Smith is back, apologizes to Chris Rock and answers your questions

[steadyrighteous]

I would class that as a pretty authentic performance.

For an apology recorded on a set with multiple cameras, cameramen, sound people, lighting, set dressers, PAs and answering pre-picked questions from who knows where probably hand-picked or re-written if not completely written by PR people and publicists.

Even if he means everything he said, which he might, they still can't help but make everything they do a performance.

 

[Sauce and Footwork]

One of those cases where a public apology is necessary. He embarrassed the man in front of the world. This was mature and great he did it. He also reached out personally. If Chris don’t wanna fukk with it, then it just is what it is

 

[Brandsdale]

Will Smith is doing what the Kardashian family is doing

Wouldnt be surprised if a new reality TV show deal comes out of this

 

[Tribal Outkast]

I think Will was shocked by the backlash. A lot of famous folks are shocked when they fall from grace and see the same fans who cheered them boo them and wish bad things happen to them.

We see it all the time especially with black entertainers.

If people read his book they’d understand more. And to think, this happened after he put the book out

 

[Roid Jones]

And idiots thought he would heel turn

For the sake of his career he has to show public contrition, HE knows he fukked up and I believe he's sincere

I know people want Jada to be this evil genius that is controlling Will but that narrative needs to end, Will is a grown man making his own decisions and should be held accountable

 

[romeodunn]

y’all “I was just playing” nikkas always try to control other people’s responses

everybody not gone do all that sneaky shyt— some people just gone smack U

Sure. And then that person shoots you and the woman you became a crash test dummy over will move on to the next nikka.

 

[Family Lives Matter]

This shyt just sad at this point

 

[MajesticLion]

dude, those jokes were bland as hell.

u must be a dude who lets a woman put the battery in your back to do some dumb shyt.

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

he did reach out and rock said he not ready to speak with him but you right then that should’ve been the end of it…but the more I think about it the more I suspect he is bothered by the moment rock, chappelle and hart had on stage with the goat which is ironic cuz just yesterday I was saying that will smith probably wasn’t bothered by the antics when folks were saying that moment will probably fukk with him

Dave still fukks with Will
I'm sure Kevin do too

 

[Wig Twistin Season]

My favorite part of this is everyone subconsciously demoting Jada Pinkett Smith to "Will Smith's wife" as if she was just some no name and not someone who had some level of fame herself

What was the last thing she did that didn’t involve Red Table? Her fame is from the 90s and being associated with Tupac and now Will Smith. No knock on her hustle, but she wouldn’t be a household name without Will Smith.

 

[Virtuous_Brotha]

Not that serious

Starting to think this entire thing is fake/staged. fukk these hollywood nikkas

You just never know, I'm no conspiracy theorist but nothing can be ruled out

 

[old pig]

Dave still fukks with Will
I'm sure Kevin do too

I’m not saying they do/don’t but the public’s perception of it might’ve still bothered him

 

[Duke Wy Lin]

fukk Chris rock

It's just comedy bro

It's a noble profession

 

[Guess Who]

Seems sincere, he’s a human who made a mistake

It’s going to take a long time to repair the damage but it’s a start

Word. I don’t get everyone trying to tear this man down. He fukked up bad and obviously is facing the consequences, but it’s weird to see randoms on the internet revel in his misery, assume he’s faking, etc.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Tell all the jokes you want

And get smacked up as much as you want

It’s not hard— some of y’all folks just don’t like consequences and accountability

I agree but accountability and consequences go both ways. It’s why I don’t feel bad for Will either. These are his consequences too.
