Will Smith smacks Chris Rock

[Puller]

Although I have not watched the Oscars in decades and generally could not care less about them, I did find the altercation between Chris Rock and Will Smith to be interesting. There are plenty of news reports on the issue, but in short it seems the Oscars MC, Chris Rock, made a joke about Will Smith's wife. Will Smith came up on stage and smacked Chris Rock with an open hand in the face, then returned to his seat and shouted at Chris Rock for him NOT to be talking about his wife.

In my opinion, maybe Chris Rock learned that words sometimes have consequences.

I rather watch grass grow than watch the Oscars.

This is why the Oscars sucks now.

Does anyone think Gregory Peck would have slapped Bob Hope?

There was a bit of dignity and humility that is long gone now.

In my opinion, lame jokes don't justify violence.

Investigation at Oscars

When police investigated, you know what they found on Chris Rock's face?

I just feel really bad for the hundreds of people that had to witness that on their TV screens at home.

We're not interested in Hollywood, but when hubby saw this on the news, it reminded him of a neighbor who would fein laughter as he insulted people, and this comic subterfuge avoided getting him a well deserved beat down.

About time someone did.

Smith then won an award and had his "I am sorry" moment. What a chump.

I'd bet money it was staged. Ratings for the Oscars have been plummeting, and this was just a ploy to generate interest.

Publicity stunt.

Will Smith and wife have an open marriage.
His dedication to her and her’s to him is shaky at best.

Believe me, anyone watching the Oscars and other movie and TV award shows will see and hear things worse than a staged publicity slap.

I have a correction to make; I now do not believe it was staged, but have since found out Smith’s wife is somewhat of a “piece of work”. It was she that initiated the open marriage thing with her husband, who she apparently badgered to accept. She must have all the power at their family, and intimidated him into slapping Rock.
Smith is a jerk, and Rock should file assault and battery charges against him.

Seen it on the news this morning and had to laugh. I get a kick out of Stupid Human Tricks....

It has been a memeathon on Twitter.

I never watch the Oscars but the event is all over the news. Undoubtedly staged

 

[zeke]

Perhaps the greatly escalating trend towards no repercussions for your actions is turning. If it wasn't staged, making fun of a sick person deserves a smack. Although it would have been more effective with a closed fist.

I missed the Oscars as I was deworming the cats.

Priorities, ya know.
