His slap is going to be out forever, he took it quietly. He has the right to say ANYTHING, it will never be enough
Who is the biggest b*tch? Jada or Meghan?
Ugly jealous dude hating on the handsome successful one… all these brothers talking black solidarity but when they got the chance to hate on Will that is exactly what they did! Steve Harvey is a hater too!
It wasn't funny though. My man fell asleep.. I started cleaning. Nah
Will Smith is a trashy human period. No MAN talks with his wife about her infidelity at a Red table in front of the cameras. The whole Smith family is trash.
Some people need to learn just because you apologize doesnt mean the apology has to be accepted. And both sides have to accept that.
A low blow as apposed to a high blow , Chris is not punching down he is punching up
This is what I know. Both of these men are going to stay rich and survive! Neither of them are going to be cancelled. I’m still a Will Smith fan. I do believe he was wrong for that slap though. He made a mistake. He can come back from it though. As for Chris Rock. For people to think that he was never in his life going to address the situation is just ridiculous to me. The man got slapped on National tv , didn’t hit Will back and and didn’t press charges. That’s a big a big deal in itself. So after a whole year he takes about 8 minutes and finally talks about it! I feel like if he would have addressed it in one of his shows after it first happened he probably would have called her more than one B word! Because he would have been talking out of real anger . We saw what happened when Will reacted so quickly. And yes the timing was right. He made money this whole year because his shows were sold out because people we’re trying to see if he was going to address it and then Netflix paid him big time for this Special where he talked a few minutes about it. Hell other comedians make money making jokes about it. Hell he is a comedian why shouldn’t he make money about his own situation. Him talking about it will die down after a while, that slap will be remembered FOREVER! Every time Will makes a movie and if it’s OScar worthy the slap is going to be talked about and showed because he can’t go to the Oscars. When Boys 4 comes out, they are going to bring up the slap and show it, because the question is going to be asked, Will the movie do any good because Will Smith slapped Chris Rock. Even though the movie has nothing to do with him lol.
Maaaannnn cros the line….stfu..goofy..I would've went..
Netflix should have paid Chris $100M!!! I love you Chris Rock ❤
The white community may back you but we do not you are a weak brother that got paid for it and you are selling us out uncle Tom is what you are
1:28 shut the eff up man. So tired of misogynistic being thrown around and guys being labeled that way. It's comedy man, go see a few shows and relax.
Will is a b* tch and his wife is a 304. Chris was brilliant..
Apparently, that editor guy has never been smacked on live TV. Chris has every right to say what he wants on stage. He's been lowkey for a year, and now it's his turn. He turned his embarrassing moment into a bankroll whil smith has been defending it for a year and will continue to.
Hey, Chris paid to use this jokes, he paid with his face, like the guy in round six.
It wasn't Chris joke that caused Will to lose it, it was the look she gave him. Before that look Will was laughing hysterically bc he found the joke so funny.
If he wanted to protect her honor he should go after the guy who was screwing her, a guy by the name of August Alsina.
But wait, he knew about that bc she told him.
Long story short, Will shouldn't even be sitting next to her unless of course he takes pride in knowing his wife is sleeping with another man, in this case his son's own friend.
He is racist. He should be banned
Rock is rock.Thums up.
Smith didn’t lose it initially. He laughed and only reacted violently because his handler wasn’t happy
Boooo to Will Smith
The woman has alopecia, she’s not dying. He can joke about her bald head if he wants to. Don’t like it? Don’t laugh.
Wow how about GI Jane eas referenced because it would be a leading role for her. GI Jane was a bad B and Jada looked beautiful. The Smiths need to be preparing that script, team Chris!!👍👌👏👏🙏💕
'Nobody is picking on this bitch' crunchy. and true
Will was in the right and for chris to capatalize on it is shitty /// will apologized and that should have been it
i wish it was 2 hours
I feel like it’s just words and it’s comedy he had to spice it uo don’t take it personal.
Marc Lamont Sanford needs to go back to the Hood to see if he can find his balls!
you just dont make bad jokes about a disease. he deserved a little slap
Chris has lost all my respect, he has no idea what Meghan went through because he is in a privileged state of mind! I am shocked at his ignorance, I want to slap that smug look off his face now!
This dude said take the higher road …dumbass lmao he got his moment keep killin it rock 🤘🤘🤘
This was well deserved for the smiths.
Pussies can’t take a joke
Yeah but some of his content was way out of line
Will Smith won an Oscar that night?
Wel…..Chris reached out….
The "higher road"? did Will take the higher road? I think Rock said what needed to be said. He just spoke the truth point blank period!
They brought such a dumb toxic black person to try and interpret… Chris is already an expert in interpreting situations…
Even after a year Mr. Smith, your behavior is still UNACCEPTABLE. I am no more your fan Mister.
It's unfortunate that the world lacks compassion. For people who have been friends for several decades the enmity has been stirred to another level that it might be too far gone to reconcile and people are praising it. To error is human and to forgive is devine.
You people are never satisfied. Chris didn't say anything you criticized, now he finally say something you complain about the terms he chooses to use.
This guy Clayton Devis is right..thaught Rock gonna be a bigger man…
Chis didn’t do anything wrong, all I know Chis had the last laugh, this is how he do it.
Move on with this
We have stores closing, homeless people, it more important things then this
Everyone has skeletons in the closet some people have whole cemeteries in their backyard. They are in the stoplight due to the fact they are famous
Everyone myself included, have and did wrong. Just move on
It was a staged Hollywood slap. Fake as usual.
It's called sweet karma…..she is a ho ho ho….get over it.
And the two gentlemen that were judging Chris as "sexist" and "vengeful"… I'm sorry… Who are you again, and why should anyone give a damn about your opinion? How was the joke sexist? Women can't be included in humor without it being automatically sexist? Get bent. And vengeful?!? Chris never had a choice to not talk about. Not if he wants to keep working. Rock is a professional comedian. A public orator. That elephant was already in the theatre when Chris showed up. Kudos to Chris for handling the situation well. Then and now.
He didn’t cross any line…he was addressing the elephants in the room 😅😅😅some people got entangled 😅😅😅
Chris Rock making lemonade 😂
