Bringing the Hood to Hollywood

Indeed, this story in the great scheme of things doesn’t amount to the hill of beans…MAYBE.

Why?

First of all, there’s a rumor that Ukraine has tried to recruit Will Smith to their cause after this incident!
Just joking…

Excuse me to the non-USA bros and sisters here who might not have heard the story, which is all over the media about at the Oscars, after the comedian Chris Rock made a bad joke about Will Smiths' wife Jada being bald, Will Smith with an audience of millions watching galivanted to the stage and as Chris Rock said
“Will Smith just slapped the s___ out of me.
And without a doubt, Will Smith brought in technicolor the hood to Hollywood.

What was so scary was not the slap, but Will Smith yelled twice. Keep My Wife's Name Out Your F****** Mouth!!!'
Check it out here. Warning, the language is bad:


Now, it turns out Smiths' wife is bald because she has a disease called alopecia.
So, Rock making a joke about that apparently sent Will Smith into a rage he couldn’t control. It's just a good thing Chris Rock, a light in the ass, skinny guy, didn’t do a street come back and really make the news!

Another reason this incident might turn bad is soon we may be seeing kids slapping the hell out of each other. Hollywood, has an amazing influence on the popular culture world-wise, and such displays of violence by this well-known and massively respected actor and rap artists, can elicit copycat acts potentially.

Let’s hope not

Looks like Will Smith's marriage is open to anything... Except jokes!!!

I think they had bad blood between each other before this. I’m not defending Will Smith but it wasn’t like some random comedian making the joke. It was someone that he already disliked and who has made jokes before. Will Smith is egotistical and I think is not mentally stable.

Yep, they are Scientologists, have an "open marriage", he swings both ways, and he's worried about a comedian disrespecting his wife? These people are a joke unto themselves!

You know I heard of this not from the news media but from three different sports shows I listen to! And the subject wasn’t about boxing. That’s how massively popular this crazy story is. Sports channels?

They say the boring-ass Oscar doubled its audience in minutes after this incident. Apparently, the massive social media jumped on this story like flies on ____

As for judging who is out of line in this, I would say both of them, unless Rock is telling the truth that he didn’t know Jada had alopecia. Then Rock is the bad guy for mocking a person with a serious disease.

One can understand a guy defending his loved one if a comedian mocks her for having a disease.

It's like mocking someone for being really skinny because they had certain cancer treatments. In that light, Smith looks a little better

Some women want to have that hair style and maybe Rock didn't know it was a medical condition because of that. In that case I side with Rock. If he did know, I still somewhat side with him since worse jokes have been made and nothing came from those.

Everybody hates Chris...

Just when I thought the Oscars went woke and broke.

That "method acting" is a dangerous thing, some never snap out of a role.

All that boo-hoo quasi-justification and blurring with a character during Smith's actual acceptance speech was to me more concerning than the slap.

You make a good point. All that might have been fake. Why I don't know, none of them need publicity. But Smith was actually laughing at the joke before he went and fired on Rock.

Making fun of another's disability isn't always well received by protective spouses. Right or wrong, my husband would do the same thing if someone made fun of my disability.

True humor doesn't require a person singled out to make fun of. I could have laughed it off, but a lot of people would be more sensitive.

Maybe we should outlaw comedy since it's becoming so dangerous? Maybe the cancel culture will step in with more rules and regulations for todays' world.

I thought Hollywood was against toxic masculinity…
Apparently you can sleep with his wife but not talk about her hair.
Uncle Phil gunna be serious talking…
Is this going to be the subject of an after school special about black men turning to violence?

I smell a new tv show spin off in the near future called “boxing with the stars” 😃

Will Smith is no longer a rapper; I think and was never a gangsta rapper but in light of all the violence in Rap music this scene is not good.

Smith didn't have to slap him. If he just went up there and took the mic from him and said out loud with a serious look on his face:

I don't appreciate you mocking my wife's disability...Motha ____a

I bet you he would have gotten a standing ovation.

Maybe leave out the mf!

Idiots, all.

The backhand of bel air?

Well method acting isn't really fake.
You literally do exercises and meditations to become this character, or reach deep into yourself to mirror similar emotions.
And what I recall from his acceptance speech was, "I need to protect people", like this "King Richard" character taught me.
I think he needs some decompression and therapy.

Some say you can even become possessed with that form of acting.

Theres a time and a place to defend your loved ones, I will say that......

But after what she did to Will publicly on her OWN show, i have NO sympathy for this woman....

She shows ALL the signs of being a toxic mate, look at the man the past 5 years or so, hes totally broken, this woman is the poster child for what happens when you marry wrong

a reply to: peaceinoutz

Then Rock is the bad guy for mocking a person with a serious disease.

Why? Why is that off limits, first its not SERIOUS, yes it does cause your hair to fall out.

But its ok to make fun of bald men whenever you want, or mens receding hairlines.......

Why is this a sacred cow?

Since when is alopecia a serious disease its just something that happens to the unfortunate. Its an insult to people with real serious diseases like leukemia to pretend alopecia is anywhere close to that.
