If he felt that strongly he should have made Chris Rock apologize. If Chris refused then yes he should have hit him |

Yes,he should be condemned for it,I don’t like violence in any way,shape or form,but Jada is toxic,and the look she threw at him when he actually laughed at Chris Rock..
He needs to get out of that marriage |

You get canceled for making jokes about Jews, people with disabilities, non straight people. Yet make a joke about a woman suffering from alopecia and it’s a joke? People are too selective. So what if Will firstly laughed at the joke, some people can take a joke, some people take a joke but it hurts them inside.

An open handed slap probably hurt for a bit, but jokes that have victims probably do more damage.

I don't care about what two grown men who seem to be important for acting do. They both should have known better and need to give their heads a wobble. Immature louts behaving no better than blokes down the pub getting into a fight because one insulted the others girlfriend the only difference is the suits they were wearing |
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
The joke was poor taste, did Chris Rock know that Will’s wife suffered with Alapecha? Beside all of that hitting some one is inexcusable. |

Condemn.
He could have made a reference to the joke in his acceptance speech and made his point in a more dignified way. I think there is a lot going on in their relationship that has more to do with this though. |

He should be banned from the future Oscars for life.
No way to behave. I mean he was laughing and only reacted after judging his wife’s reaction.
I’d give Rock the benefit of the doubt as I think his joke was not severe but then again they know a comedian might let rip at them.
The question is - is it the end of comedy? |

I’m sorry, but I disagree. If that was my Wife and someone made fun like that of her medical condition….only thing I have is it was a slap, should have been a right hook.
I’m not one for violence, there are plenty of examples where I’ve walked out of situations before they got out of hand, but sometimes things have to been done. |

I don't condone violence and have never instigated violence, but public humiliation of my wife, or racial abuse towards my mixed-race daughter are occasions that might change that.
Everyone has their limit and WS's was crossed, it was only a slap and I think he would have hated himself more for letting it go, though as a public figure, walking out with his wife would have been a bit more dignified.

Making jokes is all about standing on the edge and pushing, all good comedians do it, if they go too far then that’s a conversation they can have afterwards but it’s a conversation, not a physical act, what smith did is inexcusable on every level, also he should be celebrating the fact he’s nailed a best actor Oscar and only the fourth black man to do so in history but instead it will be remembered for slapping another black man, the collapse of all civil society starts with polarisation of opinion and in fighting amongst individual groups, it’s a damning time to be alive |

Chris Rock woke up this morning with Fresh Prints on his face I'm here all week folks hahaha
On a real note, chris did well not to hit back. As for will that woman is going to put him in an early grave, she should have told him to sit his ass back down, dont spoil his night over a silly joke, deal with it later but she sat back and watched it all become about her, will should not concern himself about what comes out of Chris's mouth but what goes in his wife's mouth.... see what i did there hahaha |

I think this incident completely overshadows the fact that Coda won the first Oscar in which deaf actors played leading roles.
And if you can't make jokes about people - where's the fun in that? |

From what I can gather, it's more that Jada had an affair, didn't care about the consequences and so Will stated it's an open relationship, just to save face.

She didn’t have an affair. The two have stated that they were broken up when the ‘entanglement’ happened. I’m pretty sure they deny being open. |

Basically Will is mad at his wife for cheating on him with his sons friend. mad his wife misses her ex (2pac) mad his daughter writes letters to a guy she never met and misses him (2pac)..his son wants to chop his genitals off.. so he was bound to snap and unfortunately in an attempt to reasert his "manlyness" with his wife, Chris Rock was at the receiving end of his breakdown..when in reality all he had to do is talk to his wife and sort his life out.
Comedy is about making fun of our/societies problems/issues and easing the "pain" by laughing about it. Everybody laughed couple years ago at Ricky Gervais..but now these "jokes" are no longer accepted ? You can't like every joke or every comedian but people need to chill.

From the discussion they had on camera, his body language and facial expressions told a very different story.

It was an open to interpretation joke, barely an insult (at worst) and a partial compliment (at best).
Do I think Chris Rock intended for it to be a compliment, not at all but neither was it intended to be an insult. He knew he was walking the line with it, but attempted to keep it safe enough to avoid backlash... Or so he thought! He even tried to buffer the impact with a "I love you Jada" first. (barely anyone would be talking about the joke itself if Will had not have even moved out of his seat). The man even laughed himself until he saw her face - which is fair enough she didn't appreciate it.
Her condition was not mentioned. He did not say she looked bad, he did not say she was ugly, he could have compared her to countless bald roles (I've seen some very insulting versions of that joke since it happened, which he could have used). But he didn't, he went with Demi Moore in G.I Jane, who was a total bad ass.
Jada chose to embrace alopecia instead of hiding it with wigs, and she looked good rocking that style (though I'm not a fan of her generally). I applaud her for the self bravery to do so in the celeb world she is in.
Will Smith has made plenty of bald jokes through the years, directly to bald men (bald men that have no choice in going bald - male pattern baldness is a medical condition). So yes, while it's great he was standing up for his wife over a (mild joke) which she didn't appreciate but the slap really didn't need to happen.
All that joke really needed as a response was a polite "please don't, Chris" |

Absolutely!
I believe Will used this opportunity to show his wife he's no longer the clown but does indeed have some Alpha within.
I can't help but feel it's a reaction to a toxic relationship.
Only my opinion but many of the classic signs are there. |

Who cares about their private lives, I certainly don't. Public brawling is never acceptable and neither are jibes and insensitive or insulting comments about someone's personal life or looks as a result of a medical condition or indeed for whatever reason. There are ways to address all that whilst keeping within acceptable standards otherwise we will all be up and down slaping people left right and centre. My opinion but I hardly know anything about them or indeed much about the incident. |

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-60898250
My take on it is, Smith shouldn't have hit Rock, but Rock also shouldn't have made the joke. Mrs Smith is suffering from something which I'm sure is very upsetting to her. If she wants to make a joke about it, that's up to her. It's not up to somebody else to publicly joke about a person's affliction. I totally understand Smith's disgust and sympathise with the couple, but it was a bad reaction. |

Is she incapable of standing up for herself? Does she need a man to defend her because she can't?
She was quite as capable and even more justified to go up there and slap Chris herself, but she didn't. Maybe she has more sense and class than the typical man, or maybe she just knew better than to go to that level.
I'd stand with my partner and their actions, not attempt to resort to violence where none was needed. |

I would never have known about it had I not perused the forum. No TV here, therefore very little involvement with news and zero involvement with celebrities.
Once or twice in my life I have been at other people's houses when their electronic wallpaper has been displaying an awards ceremony but never given it serious attention as I am so used to being TV free (The last TV I had was at Eureka). |

Rock was doing his job. Simple as that. Does the level of violence allowed vary based on how hurt your feelings get? Does he get to stab him if she sheds a tear? How about if it was a female comedian who made the joke. Should Will have resorted to the same childish display?

He got caught laughing at the joke then had to prove he was a man, what a jerk. He stars in some great films and is a half decent actor but always thought he’s hiding some demons , his speech afterwards confirmed this. He’s one majorly fucked up little boy , probably wasn’t cuddled enough or bullied a lot |

Just a reminder that actors even those ‘action’ stars can’t hit for toffee. Will Smith hit him and Chris Rock barely moved or appeared hurt. I doubt he’d try his hard man act, if the guy was bigger than him.
He should’ve at worst got up to Chris Rock and asked him to apologise or as he’s known for his quick wit, put him down with words. No need for Will Smith to show the world he can’t throw a punch without a fight coordinator showing him how to do it.
No time for violence or acting like a spoilt child afterwards by screaming at the guy. If that was a member of the audience or a crew member, they’d have been thrown out and charges brought by the LAPD. But Will Smith gets Denzel mopping up his tears instead.
The joke was crap, the target of the joke didn’t deserve it, but the reaction (after originally laughing) was cringe worthy overreaction.
But I will give Will Smith credit today by apologising to Chris Rock and the Academy. But never for that slap.

Did a minor joke really warrant the retaliation of a physical assault?
It wasn't a barrage of jokes, it wasn't a blunt insult, it was a neutral zone joke - easily interpreted either way. At most it deserved a verbal retaliation.
The slap was beyond uncalled for, an extreme escalation. It really wasn't needed. An assertive "back off, man" would have been all was needed.
The defense of his wife is not in question, the choice of how he defended her is. Though as I said above, did it really need somebody else to defend her considering she is a very strong willed and proud woman as it is.
Thing is, the Oscars will have given Chris the go ahead to tell the joke. They will have vetted and allowed him to use it before allowing him on stage. |

If Will deemed it so yes. There is no freedom of consequence just because you have the right to say what you feel. If someone chooses to hit you because you say something they don’t like then so be it.
The remoteness of the Internet has people thinking they can say all kinds of stuff and there are no repercussions.
By the same token, Chris had every right to make the joke and it landed with the audience. He just has to accept the slap as a result |

Protecting your loved ones is the right thing to do. But this wasn't protection, this was retribution. It's against the law for a reason.
And to be honest, the joke wasn't that tortuous at all really. You could choose to take it as a weird compliment (which WS seemed to do at first) or you could take umbrage and respond.
Will Smith would have come out of this as a real hero if he had used his acceptance speech to stand up for the rights of sufferers, use some dignity to berate Chris Rock or even if he really felt it was that important, publicly challenge him to a proper boxing match or similar.
Instead, he committed a minor criminal offence and now has to rely on Chris Rock not to get him prosecuted.
Responding like some teenager that can't control his emotions and then crying about it afterwards doesn't look good.
And for those of you saying Will Smith did the right thing, well Will Smith apparently doesn't agree with you anymore either.

I'm a grown adult who has control of his emotions. I've also been boxing and doing multiple martial arts since I was 10, violence is never my first go too for anything because I know what "just a slap" can do to someone. If someone is being physical or there's a threat of it turning physical, of course I'd defend them but to resort to violence over words in a comedy show is ridiculous and reeks of insecurity.
I would have pulled him aside after the show and spoke to him like an adult. |

There are ways to stand up for them without resorting to hitting the other person. In this case Will Smith had the high road and could have easily shown up Chris Rock for his crass joke (if you believe it was really about her condition), but his actions have made the situation a whole lot worse. I can't believe this is what Jada wanted. |

Because we are not ruled by raw emotion. We actually think and make our actions based upon logic and assessment of a situation instead of retaliating with physical violence as our first, second or even third thought.
Protection is more than just physical. |

I agree. There are ways to have solved this without resorting to violence but he did need to address it.
I think his words after said it all. I do wonder if he'd said that first, would Chris Rock have carried on? If he did, maybe we wouldn't have been as harsh with the slap?
Hypothetical now, but I do think Will's actions were stupid. Words first!! |

Following the Will Smith incident if everyone is condemning the action, should comedians like Ricky Gervais behaviour at one of the awards be condemned too?
The people who should be getting the awards are the film editors, writers, composers, animators those behind the scene. |

If that were entirely true then there would be a lot more people physically assaulting other people. Emotions manifest before logic, only those that act upon their emotion alone are ruled by it.
I've never once, despite being in high emotion situations reverted to phsycially assaulting anyone as my first action. I can imagine a hell of a lot of people are the same. I am able to suppress emotion to not act on it as a sole motivation for anything.
Fear, not to be confused with anxieties, is not just an emotion, but so much more as a biological survival response hardwired in to every living creature. It is instinctual but even that can be overcome in a lot of cases. |

Openly slagged off of a tad strong. Only the egotistical would be hurt by his words.
He didn't slag her off because of alopecia, he joked that her choosing to proudly go bald was reminiscent to G.I Jane, a kick arse, strong character.
If so she wore a wig, he may well have respected that she possibly feels ashamed and left alone.
Not stating that she should wear a wig, only that he highlighted her bravery for presenting herself as she did.

Bit late for that, and your question about whether or not he ought to have behaved in this manner is meaningless as he did slap Chris Rock. He chose to. His reasons are his own.
Rock has a track record of ridiculing both Will and his wife. To ridicule her about an auto-immune disease on live TV in front of a global audience is the morality of what you should be questioning but no-one seems to care about that. Will did and he chose violence. That’s his choice. |

I've been watching the "best roasts" from the Oscars.
Was "I was very disappointed that Space Jam 2 did not get nominated for special effects for that hairline they gave LeBron James...it was really good" a jibe at someone suffering from hairliss ?
(Genuine. No idea)
Either which way, the only reason the while world is taking about this one (unfunny) comment (it's barely a roast IMO) is because of the slap. And the only reason I know she has alopecia is because I had to find out why this (seemingly tame) comment even caused a slap.

Absolutely not. And certainly not on stage, in front of the world, over a frankly crap out-of-date joke about a film no one remembers.
If anything, it showed how little control Will has over his own life, and this “open relationship” thing is bullshit. He’s cuckolded and unhappily compliant. He laughed at the joke until Jada threw him a look, seconds later he’s physically assaulting a comedian for doing his job. This to me was the most pathetic example of a man desperately trying to stay the most relevant man in his marriage.
What’s more, it enables all the wannabe‘ard dickheads who want their right to attack a comedian, because they know just heckling would get them destroyed. They just saw Will Smith rewarded with acceptance of his actions and even applause for it.

How about we all take the stance that both parties crossed a line, where in the wrong and the situation played out as it did. You insult a man's wife, that man's gonna lose his shit. Dosent make it right, it's just an expected response. People have emotions, they get angry, they lash out in some cases. Anyone who pretends otherwise or that they wouldnt lose it if it was their loved ones being insulted over a medical condition is deluding themselves. It was a poor joke (which could easily been seen as an insult) followed by a bad reaction.
Maybe instead we should be looking at how the organisers handled it and the fact Smith got a standing ovation by all attendees not shortly after.
Smith "should" have been escorted out of the building.
But hey, suddenly the Oscars are relevant again. Conflict clearly sells.

Whole lot of victim blaming and whatsboutism going on here.
Even if the joke was intended as an insult (it wasn't) Wills reaction was ridiculous. Every comedic host of these award shows in recent memory has been employed to roast those in attendance.
If I was Rock I'd be suing Smith and the academy for failing to deal with it appropriately. Criminal charges mean nowt to the rich and famous so I'd hit him in his wallet.

"Should we celebrate or condemn Will for his actions at the Oscars?
It was a slap. Not a mercyless beating.

"Is it right to make fun of someone whom has an illness "
He didn't make fun of her illness. He compared her shaved head to that of Demi Moore's
Rock like most other people I've heard speak about this likely had zero clue she had alopecia. I've always just assumed she liked her hair short. Even so, comedian, doing the job he was hired to do. It's part of the gig to roast those in attendance.
If it was a female who made the joke would Will still be a hero in your eyes? |

He wouldn't have done it even if it was a man of similar size. Never mind a fighter of any calibre.
It's easy to be a hard man when you have 40lbs and 4" on someone. |

"Is it right to make fun of someone whom has an illness "
Male pattern baldness is a form of alopecia, that's made fun of all the time.
My guess is the majority of people don't really know what alopecia is, and just assume it's total chemotherapy level of hair loss. It's not.
It can range from total hair loss all over the body, to a small (small!) patch of thinning hair on the head. It is just much more common in men than women.
One form of Alopecia can actually be caused by heat, chemicals and tight styles that pull at the hair root, including some braids, dreadlocks, extensions and weaves.
Traction alopecia, common in the black community.
As far as I'm aware she has not stated which form of alopecia she has, and unless it is androgen, there is every chance she may regrow her hair - many men won't. |

She has alopecia as a result of an autoimmune condition. That particular form is no more common in men Vs women. Unsure on race demographics. |

Fuck cancel culture I say. What he did was a human response he was standing up for his wife condone it or not. You can't change what happened. The whole should we cancel someone for something they have said or done has got to end though its getting ridiculous |

"To many fucking snowflakes, this so called comedian is a grown man if he's old enough to make disrespectful comments about someone then he's old enough to take the consequences!
If it was my wife who he'd offended I'd do more the bitch slap the cunt "
What would you have done exactly?
Would your response be different if it was a female comedian that said it? |

Areata then, so yes potentially reversable, unless the hair has been lost for long periods of time. Still genetic as with androgen, it often just appears more shocking because it can be a random patch or patches. Sometimes it's a tiny thin patch, other times it can be multiple patches than potentially can regrow and then appear on another part of the head, or in the most rare cases become total baldness.
Other than the cause, which is not life threatening, other than potential mental health issues (which any form of hair loss can cause) it is still hair loss exactly the same as male pattern baldness is. So let's not over extend and pretend she has an illness that limits her quality of life the same way much more severe autoimmune diseases can.
The main difference is she is a woman, hair loss in general is much rarer for women (overall to the extent it is with men) therefore it is a much bigger deal that she "is being made fun of". |

Nobody is saying cancel him (well some are but they always do) the issue in question is his physical response. The man physically assaulted another person for a comment - I agree with what somebody else has said that nothing is without consequence (I've said that for a while in past threads) - but Will should not be applauded or praised for physically assaulting somebody as his first response to a comment made, regardless of the comment. |

I think he had probably had too much to drink. This doesn't excuse his actions, but might explain his poor impulse control. |
