Will Smith vs. Chris Rock: Real or staged?

[2long]

So, seeing the Oscars 'slap' what do we really think?

[Thailand]

If anyone has any doubt whatsoever that it was real they are in a different world.

 

But it has been discussed to death on another thread.

[Hummin]

Missing option 

 

I do not know

I do not know and do not care

 

 

[Will B Good]

The slap looked staged, but his anger afterwards looked very genuine........on balance I think he may have pulled out of a full on punch at the last second and the whole thing was real.

 

Unless Rock comes out and says it was staged, Smith is in for a lifetime of grief over this.

Black on Black violence so seldom reported in the Press, unless of course multi millionaires are involved.

[spidermike007]

I doubt Smith would have agreed to it. He came out looking really bad. 95% seem to agree Rock was the man, with his dignified and classy response and Smith is an out of control looney, who just may have been off his meds. He appeared to be extremely frustrated over getting stuck with what appears to be a very low quality woman, and seems to be quite unfulfilled and angry. 

 

Defending the honor of his wife? Such nonsense. It was comedy. Her disease, while embarrassing is not serious, and 7 million American women have it, so she is nothing special. 

 

His speech afterwards was equally ridiculous. What is this, the 17th century? All that was missing were the swords. Smith came across as a street thug with paper thin skin, in my opinion. I lost all respect for him.

Yet on this occasion Black people appear to be trying to hush the thing up.  Makes you wonder if the reason we don't hear about Black on Black violence is because White people don't care or because Black people don't want it discussed.

As he should be.  Totally unacceptable behaviour.

[Reposed]

Uhm, they are actors.....

 

No such thing as bad publicity. 

[EVENKEEL]

initially I would have bet money it was staged. Guess I was wrong. What guy open slaps another guy?

Probably very true.  Smith has attempted to put across a squeaky clean image throughout his career and his attitude towards his wife appears to be quite "feminist".  And what does he get for his niceguy image and simpish pandering?  An unfaithful and rapidly aging woman who has zero respect for him.  Worse than that, it has all been played out very publicly.

 

Smith's image is in tatters and this last ditch attempt to prove he was "the man" had the exact opposite effect.

 

They say that most anger is projection, so yeah, Rock's joke at the expense of Smith's wife probably felt like he was saying "You're Will Goddam Smith.  Look how low you have become.  Look how old and ugly your lying cheating wife is.  You're stuck with her and she hates you and treats you like dirt and everybody knows it."

or if it is on live TV - 

 

I think it was real as Rock came out of it a bit stunned and w/a closed fist... and Smith was laughing and did not think to do it until he saw that his wife was upset...

I think anger = fear

 

he was laughing - looked over at his wife and became afraid that he too was seen enjoying a joke on her and he became afraid = anger...

Likely fake, also. Her hair is all there, just buzzed cut.

 

Do you see any patchiness?

[LennyW]

They are actors, i am of the belief it was staged, millions of people would never have known the Oscars were on if this had not happened!

Did you know...Pfizer was the sponsor of the Oscars?
and Pfizer is rolling out a launch of new Alopecia meds that just finished with clinicals?

How do we get Alopecia in the minds of millions?  and spike the ratings?

How else does he still get to get an award later??

Jada is a toxic person
Will has a Hall of fame celebrity career.
Jada does not.
She is not a nice person.
When confronted about cheating in national media:  "If will were more of a man I wouldn't do it" or something to those lines.  Emasculating him once again.

I can easily see her stepping on his throat telling him to take the gig, because Pfizer offered them/her to be the representatvie of Pfizers Alopecia line.  She also probably thought she'd get huge sympathy.

As for losing total respect for him?  I'll give him a pass if it were real.  He's had an impeccable reputation as a good guy, stand up guy for 35 years.  One dumb move shouldn't wipe all that out.

His only wrong move is staying in that relationship...but anyone who's been with a woman like that knows they have their claws deep in your psyche. 

It's not like the guy couldn't roll out of bed and ask the next super model who rolled past to marry him and have 50/50 chance of a yes.  Jada is one of those demon types.

Him and Harry need an intervention.

I don't know how anyone could think it was staged?

 

Makes me wonder how gullible some people are with today's news and distorted social media points of view.

So, it´s okay to make any kind of jokes about people in todays world. People do no longer have to show respect for others. Nothing is morally wrong.

I am not saying it´s okay to just blow up and use violence, but a part of me can understand his reaction.

Or gullible for believing that actors could act.

Dont know about defending the honor of his wife ,does he defend it when either of them sleeps with other people ,in their " open" marriage?

[Jingthing]

What does Q say?

[4MyEgo]

Read an interesting quote in another forum and it went like this:

 

Smith gets upset over a guy having his wife's name in his mouth, but Smith doesn't get upset with his wife having others in her ..........

Exactly what I was thinking. It is humiliating for your wife to cheat on you and then get caught. It is doubly humiliating when you are an A list star and it is a huge, very public scandal. And the triple humiliation is when he decides to stay with her and choose to be an emasculated SIMP. 

 

So, likely he was just making a big show, based on a tremendous degree of insecurity. And besides, that slap was like it was coming from 13 year old girl. Which is kind of what he has been reduced to being. Poor Will.

Can't humor and comedy be that one area of life that is not subjected to weak PC and Uber feminism?

 

It should be. So many people have such thin skin and self esteem issues these days.

Yes, according to your individual opinion. Judging out of your "It´s should be"-arrogance, you seem to think you are the one that is right and people that think different is wrong. That´s even worse than a little violence.

Its not beyond the realms of possibility that some actors may cause a scene to get mass World wide publicity  and yo keep their name as a headline news
