So, Chris Rock hosts next year, right?

 

[T0INE]

It’s actually him vs FREAKIN this weekend.

Will gonna open Raw tomorrow to officially announce the match.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Slapping someone over...jada pickett smith

it profits a man nothing to sell is soul for the whole world...and will did for Jada picket smith

 

[af1 1982]

 

[WASHED KING]

Man I can’t respect it. I’m sorry. Will gotta get a divorce.

 

[dman14]

ain't you got some nepotism to mete out, gtf
"he could've killed him" relax

judd is stickin up for his boy
chris about to confront will at the hotel with sandler, seinfeld, tracy morgan

 

[freeze]

I mean...as a man...Chris Rock pretty much had to say another joke as soon as will dared him too. Like I'd feel it's my obligation to see what you'd do. I'd have to cash in those wolf tickets you sellin. Especially as a black man.

'Don't talk say my wife's ****in name again'


'or what fam?'

 

[RustyShackleford]

Again, I understand why mans felt he wanted to put hands on dude. I did laugh at the ridiculousness of the situation

But I would be lying if I said I felt comfortable that the most shared and discussed piece of media for the next few days will be a black man slapping another black man at what is essentially a work event

Will gotta go talk to his therapist as soon as he can. Can't be outchea moving like this.

[executive76]

Son just told ya'll he almost killed his pops.

Slapping seems to come natural. Add some anger/rage it all checks out imo

 

[j rain]

Maybe it was Chris saying “that was a nice one” that set Will off. Inferring that he could’ve said something more personal about the entanglement/marriage.

 

[1995]

"He could have killed him"

 

[af1 1982]

 

[Master Zik]

Will and Martin def in that category. I think they all legends in the comedy space.

Still a tough situation, cant really get wives/families involved in jokes.

I mean there's legends who are funny ppl and then comedian legends.

Martin and Chris are comedians. Will was never a comedian. He was a rapper.

As far as stereotypes go this is all par for the course.

Sure Will does comedy well as an actor

I agree, in general you would think over the past 30 almost 40 years that Will and Chris are cool and a part of that group especially among black celebs and something like that would never happen but this is why I still think there's something deeper to this between the two (or three).

 

[a-friend]

That’s why you don’t go there, or fish for info before saying it live on global tv

Comedy always goes there though.
Patrice O’Neal would have sent her two more jokes after the assault.

 

[noskey]

So, Chris Rock hosts next year, right?

"Will Smith slapped the **** out of me...

Still wasn't as hard as August slapped Jada's ***."

 

[osh kosh bosh]

TBH I respect Chris Rock for not making it super ugly and retaliating.

 

[frink85]

I need Jada to clear this up in the morning

 

[WASHED KING]

 

[TimelessClassic]

Both of em won tonight. Will got the award and the love from everyone for defending Jada. Chris handled that pretty well considering it was still the biggest awards show. As soon as it went off the rails, he easily could have responded to Will on the fly with more jokes but let it go

 

[freeze]

Why Will felt comfortable checking the black man on his jokes but not the countless white people clowning their whole family for years? Will a sucka.

This is the Oscars though, not a comedy show with a room full of marks.

 

[rrlegend]

So will protects his spouse in public while she doesn’t .

On top of that, in his acceptance speech, he talks about having to smile while being disrespected, but decided that at that moment, another Black man "disrespecting" his wife was the straw that broke the camel's back. And not all the other nonsense.
