Boosted profile

 

No idea these awards were on

People with an inability to control their anger have been using the excuse that "he insulted my wife/girlfried/pint" for generations, but apparently if you are famous enough and black enough, you can get away with it.

Chris Rock declined to press charges.

Rock C grade comedian

Smith B grade actor

 

Where is the talent?

 

John Cleese and Rowan Atkinson 100 levels above

Which makes me think it was staged to boost profile. Rock shows have been tanking.

Apparently the police only need one person to formally report the incident and they will have to investigate and presumably press charges (no lack of evidence!!!)

[The Hammer2021]

Black on black crime caught live as so called role models show the younger generation behave.

Will Smith was smirking walking off stage.

..... because Will Smith is famous enough and black enough.  I bet the LAPD would not be sitting on their hands had a white nobody bitch slapped Chris Rock.

[OneMoreFarang]

It seems Chris Rock made a bad joke about Will Smith wife, and according to new articles that wasn't the first time.

I am pretty sure from now on Chris Rock won't do that anymore.

And Chris Rock feels like it then he should go to the police and complain about Will Smith.

Personally I think now they both know where they stand. Nobody got really hurt. Case closed.

That was so far over the line it was stupid, ridiculous, arrogant and petty. It is humor, Will. Sorry, but just because you are rich and famous, and a nominee, this does not excuse you and your family from being the butt of a joke. The fact that your wife has a hair loss disease does not exactly equate with the after effects of chemo.

 

Grow up. Man up. I hope Rock or someone, kicks his skinny butt sometime soon. He richly deserves that.

And Rock is C grade? What can one say?

Smith is rubbish. Rock is worse. Talentless hacks.

[Sparktrader]

Ali was ok but really he's so far below Hopkins.

There are literally millions of people around the world that would say you're wrong. Just cuz they're not your cup of tea doesn't make them rubbish.

[Jingthing]

Didn't know before that he was a nut job.

Macho.macho mouse.

After reflecting on this, I would add:

 

Don't ever invite Will Smith to a comedy roast. His low self esteem and his paper thin skin would not make him a pleasant guest!

 

That was assault. You humiliated yourself and your family in front of the world. You revealed yourself to be an angry, disaffected, malcontent of a man, even with all the success you have been blessed with in life. I lost all the respect I had for you, in an instant. You are NOT the man you claim to be. Even comparing yourself to Richard Williams and the Williams sisters is ludicrous, considering all the open doors you have enjoyed in your life. To think I used to admire you.

 

The contrast of Rock's composed and dignified reaction, to Smith's out of control anger says it all, about who the bigger man in the room was. 

 

Smith thinks his life is hard? Who is the real joker in the room?

Could you imagine?  No way.  The Academy has no ah "Balls".  Will Smith will keep his Oscar and his friends will support him.  Chris Rock gets assaulted and Denzel Washington and Tyler Perry check on Will Smith.  Could anyone imagine the protests that would erupt if a mostly white and old Academy enforces it's own rule against   a Black Best Actor winner when only 20 Black actors/actresses have ever won Oscors in it's long history.  In the end Will Smith was defending the honor of his wife.  That's the story he should stick too and offer Chris Smith a financial settlement to make it go away.  

 

How many on TV have actually seen King Richard?  The only Academy nominated movie I saw was Dune.  

[Jingthing]

Let him.keep his Oscar but ban him from future industry gatherings.

Violence can't be condoned.

I believe Chris Smith would love to get a huge settlement from Will Smith.????

 

Chris Rock on the other hand most likely doesn't need the money.
