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

[ExodusNirvana]

You sound like a straight up female.

I won't tell you what you sound like because I promised myself I'd stop using that word cause it's offensive to people who live your sort of lifestyle

 

[Roid Jones]

Ur wife/mother/girlfriend are stupid and bald headed I’m laughing at they dumbass rn

that’s how I’m feeling

Now u handle that like a gentleman imma be over here cracking jokes with my dawgs

2022 poster, 19 messages........sorry my bad, carry on

 

[Nagarjuna]

A lot of (unwarranted) cynicism in here

Perhaps he's just genuinely sorry and wants Chris and the world to know.

Perhaps he's battling some personal and family issues (that may involve Jada) and he's just trying to work through it as best he can.

He's been a public figure and media darling since he was a teenager. A safe black man who the white entertainment industry adored. Even had him save the world in a few movies. Then overnight he's violent and public enemy number one.

Idk man, but im just a fan of giving black men grace (for both Chris and Will)

Chris Rock was wrong

If u talk crazy about a man wife in the street u gotta accept whatever comes with it

Weak nikka talk.

Context and assumption of risk are important factors.

I bring my wife to a comedy show...I'm a goofy if I expect us not to be the center of jokes.

Award shows are known to have comedy barbs shot at relevant people. You and you wife are relevant, so jokes are going to get thrown your way.

They came to the show and assumed that risk.

A comedian shot a MILD joke at your wife(which wasn't even disparaging) and you punch him for that without knowing what that comedian knew before the joke?

FOH.


Will Smith was WRONG.

---------

That being said, I respect this response from Will.

 

[Roid Jones]

That looks like a man that is trying to keep his millions come in

Is that a bad thing?

 

[Roid Jones]

I really hope that this is the end of this man

 

[Rapmastermind]

He had a emotional breakdown. All of us have had it at some point. Will's was just in front of the world to see. Will is human just like everyone else. He apologized and now society needs to move on. It's between two Men. Will has always had to be the "Perfect" Star. This incident showed he's far from perfect and that's perfectly fine. All the pearl clutching over this was way overblown. The Oscars is not a barometer of Morality. They gave a standing ovation to Roman Polanski when he was on the run for Child Rape. They've been racist for decades. Spare me all the fake outrage over a slap and being "Traumatized", Please. I support Will and Chris and hope they handle this behind the scenes. I also respect Chris for his composure and going back on the Road doing Comedy. Will Career will be fine but he needed a break and I'm glad he took it.

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 take it you don’t like comedy, or don’t understand it’s about telling jokes. You can’t be this sensitive.

 

[Michael's Black Son]

What a bytch

 

[Roid Jones]

this dude is a clown. why does the apology have to be on social media. if he was truly sorry, he would reach out to chris rock directly. I'm guessing he had his people reach out, and chris rock wasn't trying to hear it.

also, isn't he tired of being a cuck for jada pinkett? time to divorce her.

He has reached out to Chris but there is a business/career element to this and that includes public contrition

a got alopecia in the second grade. ive heard every bald joke from "your barber fukked your head up" and "you left the house with your head looking like that?" to people asking if its contagious. and i got into fights over it for sure, but regardless of who it was, id never let anyone fight for me, no matter how much it bothered them. it makes you an even bigger target, and can risk things for the people you care about over something like premature hair loss. if your family is willing to let you risk your shyt over something like that, then it doesnt seem like they really care about you

 

[TEH]

I don’t care about the optics

Chris Rock lame asl for talking about that man wife in a room full of white folk

He deserved what he got

His wife is a skank

If your girl was a skank I’d do the same and dare you to try something

 

[Peak]

and they discovered anybody can get smacked

freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequence

...and consequences come with repercussions...which Willard is finding out to his detriment.

 

[MustafaSTL]

I don’t fw humor being used to tear folks down

That’s bullying

That joke was bullying? Really? Yeah you have fake tough emotional issues if you think that one lighthearted line was bullying. Wow.

 

[5thbornpowerseed]

No questions on when is he going to free himself mentally by divorcing his toxic wife?

He know if he leave she gonna twist his life into unrecognizable wreck...
