THE “WILL SMITH SLAPPED CHRIS ROCK” MEGA THREAD

[ThirdAct]

I bet Jada STILL don't respect his ass

Dude defended her honor on national TV on some chivalrous knight shyt and she'll prolly still be giving him the eyeroll treatment in a few days

Rock wouldn't have made fun of somebody's wife who was really about that life. Not to their face.

He wouldn't have did that to Floyd's wife. To Suge Knight's wife (if he was married) back in his prime. He wouldn't do it to anybody who has a reputation of putting hands on nikkas.

What you said goes both ways.

And just to add on youve never seen ANYONE disrespect Denzel or his wife...regardless

 

[Max.]

Theres a welt on his face

did you forget all those uncle denzel memes?

 

[SlimOG]

He threw a punch if it landed would have knocked Rock out. Video shot was from a distance as well. But Will looked serious when he shouted at Rock. But that puch was fake

He slapped chris not punched

 

[Arianne Martell]

Out of all the things he could’ve made fun of he decided to go after a Black woman’s hair

How stupid can you be? And the irony CR made a documentary call “Good Hair”


I think if he made an entanglement joke he would’ve been good.

but a Black woman’s hair in front of 50M people?


Yeah something had to be done expeditiously


Also people don’t know the amount of work WS had to put in to convince his wife to embrace her alopecia and that he stands by her only to be destroyed by a1990s joke.

 

[Cuban Pete]

Wait a minute I just realized August Alsina has an autoimmune disease of the liver and alopecia is an autoimmune disease that can be cause by.... Hepatitis C, which is sexually transmissible and also affects the livers functions

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

The original analogy was if Smith would have smacked Chris Rock vs White comedians.

An equal comparison should be made for whether Rock would have made the joke to Smiths white actor peers, and not mobsters or boxers.

No, the original analogy was that Will wouldn't have run up on somebody who had a history of putting hands on nikkas. That's the analogy I was referring to, I don't know what you're talking about.

Then I flipped the analogy that I was responding to. Just like Will wouldn't have run up on somebody about that life, Rock wouldn't have made fun of the wife of somebody who was about that life.

 

[Sad Bunny]

Exactly breh. People are making this joke out to be the most disrespectful insult. This is GI Jane:

There is nothing distasteful about being compared to her. Like you said she's a symbol of women's empowerment. Demi Moore was one of the few white chicks that could rock that bald look. I don't see Jada turning down a GI Jane 2 role.

It wasn’t back then. It was an insult back in the day.

 

[Egomaniacal1]

Now that I’ve had time to sleep on this…

Why go after the soft target in Chris Rock when he’s just a comedian paid to be at the Oscars, telling these jokes to fill time. It’s not like he’s got a personal beef with either of them to get that offended. Everybody got joked on and that joke for Jada was tame as hell. They didn’t like the joke? Ok then just have a convo with that man later or cuss him out and do it that way. This shyt did not rise to the level of a physical situation off the top. He put hands on that man because he’s been under pressure for the better part of two years behind this August Alsina/Tupac mess. He snapped and took it out on Chris Rock.

All these women coming out of the woodwork to talk violence on their behalf is a bit disturbing. Yes we are men and in a man’s world violence can be part of the game, but you should also have a level of discernment of when to act in violence cuz sometimes ain’t no coming back from whatever repercussions come from that violence. Chris Rock didn’t deserve that for doing his job.

 

[OfTheCross]

when you respond to words with physical violence, you have to be ready to die.

I feel like if you grew up in a rough enough area, this is ingrained in you.

What you said goes both ways.

Difference is Rock is a Comedian. And he definitely would say shyt about them and their wives if something major happened. He's said worse about people that would put hands on him. That's his job to bring shock. If you that sensitive you shouldn't attend. The joke wasn't that serious.

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

And just to add on youve never seen ANYONE disrespect Denzel or his wife...regardless

Cause Denzel has a reputation. Folks talk about it.

We saw how Denzel reacted when folks made that "uncle Denzel" meme some years back. He was not happy and basically came out and did an interview to let ppl know to not play with him like that.

This shyt makes this Anthony Mackie story so much funnier
Anthony Mackie recalls the time Will Smith punched him in the face

Big Willy just mad that Mackie taking all his roles
