THE “WILL SMITH SLAPPED CHRIS ROCK” MEGA THREAD

I’m willing to bet it’s more than likely a situation in where FB or whatever they’re called dropped the bag to get exclusive access to the interview on their platform as it’s the only explanation I can think of that would make sense.
The media has been good to Will over the years and arguably still covering for him now as they are releasing everything that they know about him and Jada’s past when that entanglement situation happened.
Somebody behinds the scenes is obviously pulling strings to help salvage his image and he’s going to mess that up with the Red Table Talk.

You are right it hasn't hurt the Smith family, but it has sure hurt Will Smith.
I think people's second hand embarrassment for Will is coloring their opinions.
Fact of the matter is, the relationship happened, August Alsina brought it to the public stage and the Smith family didn't duck or dodge it, they addressed it head on. How the world feels about what went on in their private lives is up to them. I commend them on being brave enough to share instead of pretending like it didn't happen.
They've cultivated an amazing platform and when this Oscars situation is addressed, I don't think the end game will be to save his image, it will be an honest discussion with Will about his decisions on that night
You are a retard.
I know this is TLR but I'm in this thread to have serious discourse.
I disagree with you completely on that point.
There are places to discuss that - marriage counsellors or therapists. The red table talk was an attempt at damage control that made Will look like a man who has no control in his house, and based on his Oscar reaction, the 'honest discussions' did little to help him.
August made accusations. The Smiths chose to get in front of it instead of healing their family. The rest is history.

Jada should have denied, but he was too close to the family
Present serious questions that you prick.
What conversation is there when you say that you are "puzzled as to why someone would conclude that the red table hurt the Smith family".
If you were interested in having a serious conversation, you might disagree with the conclusion reached by many but you would certainly understand why people feel the way that they do.
Only a retard or someone pretending to be ignorant would overlook the cons of going down the route of transparency.

This topic still going 
Doesn't matter. They could have had no comment. Eventually something else comes up and grabs people's attention.
It would be interesting to find out who pushed the idea of the Red Table Talk.

Probably Jada
Cuz Will was crying
Spoken like a person who's first and only experience with Red Table Talk is the "Entanglement" fiasco. I've seen every episode and this episode wasn't an aberration by any means in terms of the transparency when handling very delicate topics. I don't think the goal was damage control as much as it was addressing the allegations August made in very public fashion.
Was Will happy to have the discussion, absolutely not, was he embarrassed, very likely. The platform is literally built around confronting moments like those and working through them. The real problem many people have is that they couldn't imagine having these discussions with their families in public OR privately, for better or worse.
