  1. I HATE HOLLYWOOD NOW EXCEPT THE LEGENDS, REAL ARTIST BACK THEN….

  2. He must file charges against the abusive s(mith)

  3. The Academy is racist.
    BLM needs to pay them a visit.

  4. "KEEP MY WIFE'S C_OCK OUTTA YA F_UCKING MOUTH"
    #CANCELLED

  5. FIERCELY DEFENDING your Family is NOT ONLY about Physical Protection, its ALSO about EXEMPLIFYING Jurisprudence.
    The MOST difficult quality to exemplify is "GENTLEMANLY" Jurisprudence.
    Had Mr. Smith possesses that QUALITY, then in true CLASSY form, would've, from His seat, demanded an apology from Mr. Rock, or forever LOSE the Friendship.
    Mr. Smith did NOT.
    Instead acted TRIGGERED, which is another way of saying that one is conditioned, hysterical, unhinged, mercurial.
    So…Mr. Smith is not a Gentleman.
    Besides, Pinkett said she was at peace with her condition.
    Guess she ISNT, not REALLY.
    Neither is Smith happy with her tough new look.

  6. t was a natural reaction and he apologized

  7. As a black women this made me so sad, how your slap a fellow brother on National tv knowing the Oscars don’t give out many awards to people of color, the joke was not that bad he didn’t joke about that personal and sexual life, And since we making Excusing to justify well Chris was reading of a prompt and he has Autism what sometimes can affect the way you communicate, and perceive emotions of others sometimes they don’t know sarcasm or how other may perceive the joke! Chris is such a classy man he even apologized yet he’s the VICTIM ! Chris needs to Sue and Will needs his award taken

  8. Academy awards condemns his actions? Serious discussions? How about they set an example and take that award from his hands for assault? I understand the hurt it may have cause Jada, but assault, violence, is not the answer to this.

  9. The academy should be infuriated they had no security for their presenter their paid employee. Will Smith perpetrated assault and battery verbal and physical assault and battery in front of millions of people on live television in Los Angeles the district attorney by law has got to take action Chris Rock doesn't have to press charges Chris Rock has nothing to do with it Chris is a victim of a crime assault and battery while doing a paid performance on national TV let's not make light of what really happened Will Smith knows better if you do the crime you do the time what would any normal person deal with if they did that on national television it doesn't matter that he is Will Smith what would any citizen face after that

  10. This is the proof that this people (the actors) live in a delusional world… They all thought it was justifiable???

  11. Chris really needs to press charges, because if he doesn't, more deranged actors will feel like this is excepted, and will happen again. Not good Will Smith, you have ruined my image of you, I am totally shocked. Much respect Chris Rock!

  12. This is the epitome of a delusional world… A guy violently slapping another guy and like nothing…. everything stays the same, laughing and partying…. 😂😂😂 It is hard to believe…

  13. Sticks and stones will break my bones but, words will never hurt me.

  14. Privileged is when you can walk on stage during a live award show and slap a man. Then sit back down in the front row and cuss him out.. Only to return to the stage fifteen minutes later to be given and award and make a speech acting like a victim…. If this is not privilege I don't know what is.

  15. If they really condemned him they would take away his award

  16. When you justify the actions of a person who clearly has a personality disorder (in my opinion) you enter into his delusional world…

  17. Ooo now you two are on a first name basis

  18. CHRIS ROCK HAS BEEN INSTIGATING THE SMITHS. IN PREVIOUS OSCARS HE COMPARED JADA TO RHIANNAS PANTIES.
    THIS TIME HE WAS MAKING FUN OF HER MEDICAL CONDITION FOR MILLIONS TO SEE! WOULD THIS HAVE BEEN ACCEPTABLE IF HER HAIR LOSS WAS FROM CHEMO? CHRIS ROCK IS DISGUSTING!
    WILL'S REACTION WAS MILD COMPARED TO WHAT MY HUSBAND WOULD HAVE DONE.
    THE OSCAR COMMITTEE SHOULD SCREEN THE HUMOR TO ENSURE THAT MEDICAL CONDITIONS ARE NOT INCLUDED!
