Homefuck Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Chris Rock should file a police report. Regardless how insensitive you perceive his joke; Chris Rock didn't commit a crime last night. Will Smith did. Based on his behaviour I believe Will Smith feels entitled to use violence without facing consequences whenever he sees fit. What a sense of entitlement. Really disturbing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coma16 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Good for Rock to not file a police report. Shame on the Academy for not escorting Will Smith out immediately after the incident. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatrickS77 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 While Smith's actions have been widely condemned on social media, with many arguing he should be charged with assault, his 23-year-old son, Jaden Smith, shared a tweet shortly after the incident, which said: "And That's How We Do It."

TheGeneral Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Will Smith just seems like the most frustrated guy in all of Hollywood. With all the shit from last year and now this, that man just doesn't seem happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 My takeaway from this is that the whole thing encapsulates the "do as I say, not as I do" attitude I see from all sides, all over the world right now. Dude gets up and gives a tearful speech about how we all need to love, understand and treat each other better. Then, moments later, uses violence in front of a world wide audience because something upset him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post downzy Posted March 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 28, 2022 I've mostly stopped watching movies awhile ago. Checked out The Batman yesterday but I really don't plan on wasting any more of my time on the medium and those who make them. Last night was confirmation that the entire film industry is a waste of time. The biggest problem wasn't Smith's assault on Rock, which was bad enough all things considered. The biggest problem was the standing ovation Smith received fifteen minutes later. How Smith was still in the building is beyond me. But there they all were, Mel Gibson included, applauding someone who just openly assaulted someone for a rather lame joke just fifteen minutes earlier. If there was a moment that crystallized how pathetic the industry has become, that was it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this is a UK centric view but how is Rock not protected under some sort of workplace Health and Safety? He was assaulted whilst doing his job. Surely at the very least the Academy is duty bound to immediately remove the threat? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely at the very least the Academy is duty bound to immediately remove the threat? It's and indictment of the academy itself. More proof that if you're powerful enough you can do whatever you want. He should have been escorted out of the building the moment it happened, as it would have happened if a non-celebrity had acted in this manner. -------------------- And to those saying Smith was protecting his wife's honour? What is this, the 1920s? It was a bad joke that didn't need a physical response. The Smiths get paid millions of dollars and do everything they can to put their private lives in the public sphere. Even if Rock knew she had alopecia, there's no justification for WIll's actions. Jada is a grown woman, she doesn't need her "man" defending her honour. I don't know why this stupid situation makes me as angry as it does. But the whole thing is infuriating and further pushes me away from the industry as a whole. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see if they actually follow through. It really shouldn't need much consideration. If there's no consequences who the fuck is going to want to host in the future? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jekylhyde Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Rock's joke was really dumb and un-funny. A bald woman? Joking about something so ordinary wasn't funny in the 90's when G.I. Jane was released, let alone in 2022. But a poor joke is no excuse to hit anyone. In the worst case scenario, Rock could've fallen down and hit his head. There are people who have died that way or have gotten serious brain injuries. You can never know what happens when you hit a person. I wouldn't take that kind of a risk. Ruining someone else's (and/or mine's) life like that. I mean, I do understand why Smith was pissed off, but if you can't control yourself and you start hitting people like that, then there is something wrong with you and you need help.

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Missed it live, but saw it on yahoo.com the unedited version. I understand how Will could be upset, but unfortunately comedians go too far sometimes. He did apologize to Chris and Jada just seemed to blow it off, but she tweeted something like this is how we do it. Honestly, who the hell cares? I don't think Will should lose his Oscar and Chris isn't filing any charges. I hope something stupid happens at the Grammy awards show, so we can move on from this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
