The fact that the Academy are investigating says real. Whilst I don't advocate violence, I also think Chris Rock was well out of order with making the "joke" he did.

I'm undecided, if he was that upset why slap and not punch?

I think it was real. There is a lot of discussion whether it was justified though.

Rock made a joke about her lack of hair, which would possibly could be laughed off, but she has alopecia. So he was right to stand up for her, but was the slap too much?

I agree too the issue now is the Academy need to take the moral high ground ...will they take the Oscar away from Will Smith ?

Can the Academy been seen to condone violence whether Will Smith was justified or not in his actions ...time will tell.

I don't want to justify violence. Chris Rock has made questionable jokes about Jada Pinkett Smith in the past too, apparently. So it's not the first time.

I think you are about 18 hrs and 3 full threads late to this conversation…

All I will say is if I was Chris Rock I wouldn’t talk about what happened…

and Netflix can cough up 25-50 million dollars for a 1 hr special…

and he can then go to town!!!

And we will all watch it….And it will be epic!!!!

Unacceptable over reaction by Will Smith. In my view, his joke was complimentary, as she does look stunning - they are (or were) good friends. Will laughed initially. Then changed his mind. Was he goaded into it? Or just toxic masculinity protecting his property?

Jada talks openly about every aspect of her life, health, sex life on her TV show. I'm sorry, but it comes with the territory. I'll bet she's laughed at many similar jokes from Chris Rock over the years.

Sadly, her hubby has now made everything about "the slap". His first Oscar overshadowed.

Oh, and their kids were there. One of them tweeted later in support of the action "And that's how we do things!" I thought the days of telling your kids it's ok to hit people were long gone ....

Comedians often tell jokes that are unfunny, crude, rude, whatever.

The correct response is not to laugh. Will Smith laughed at first but then got up to assault the other guy.

My impression of Will Smith is he uses words to attack others who he sees in the wrong. Going up on stage of a live televised program and assaulting the presenter sends out the wrong message.

There will be loads of younger members watching live or the news who will take it as a cue to do what he did.

And his son said something like "That's how we sort things" is equally as bad.

Yep! And what a shame he ruined what should have been one of the best nights of his life. Joke was in poor taste but would have been much more powerful if he'd just spoken rationally about it and used his platform to call Chris Rock out rather than hitting him...

I think there is a fine line between having a joke at a "star's" expense and making fun over someone health condition.

Chris Rock must have known Jade Smith was suffering from alopecia so his joke was well out of order.

Should Will Smith have slapped him? Probably not but how many of us ordinary guys would sit there and let our loved ones be humiliated because of an illness? It was quite understandable.

Will Smith handled that badly. No way should you assault someone because they verbally said something you didn’t like.

It just gives people the impression that is ok to be violent to people if they something off the cuff.

What gets me is that they should have escorted him off the premises. Instead they let him collect his Oscar, and make some pathetic excuse about “protecting his family”, which was some toxic bullshit.

Got to give it to Rock he remained professional after. It takes guts to continue even after being assaulted like that.

Like what Michelle Obama said,

If they go low, you go high.

Looks like Smith went low, Rock went high.

Thing is, if Smith had simply said “not cool” at the time then Rock would have looked a dick. Then Smith could have made a powerful speech about his film and finished off with a Rock put down like trying to embarrass his wife shame on you etc and the whole place would have erupted in supportive applause.

Instead he made a long winded speech that was half about the film and half about what he had just done. It cast a cloud on the celebration of the film.

And when he finally got his Oscar he overshadowed it by his behaviour. And that will be what his Oscar will be remembered for. And I think that’s a shame.

That said, I understand his wife has been the butt of some other award ceremony jokes and maybe he had just had enough of the shit. Push someone far enough and they snap.

I think Rock and Smith both need to look at their behaviour and learn from it.

You have to feel for Will Smith, he's a talented actor but is married to and fathered total talent vacuums who only get work through Smith. Total leeches sucking him dry.

And then this happens. Jada gets pissy at a lame joke and then Smith has to sort it out.

Oh the attack certainly looked real. I used to do a fair bit of boxing. It looks like Smith really wound up and let that slap go.

Other factors point to it being real too. The fact Smith then swore angrily at Rock. If this was all staged, they never would have had swearing at that event. (Americans seem oddly averse to swearing of that sort in that type of event.)

And Rock was clearly surprised and shocked afterwards. You could see him struggling to process what just happened.

Where where all the producers and staff running out to sort it. They knew about it.

I've seen it and I believe its fake. He does catch him of course but that's just part of the act.

I mean he goes on tele talking about his wife having a boyfriend. You don't think he would do a little set up at the Oscars?

It was odd as an open straight hand slap from a guy Will Smith's size would floor most. If real, it's a shame as Smith was wrong. Insults vs jokes are always just a question of degrees, and used as an excuse for violence when he had much better ways of making his point

Ok Mayweather, well we will have to agree to disagree.

It got us all talking about it and everyone has a opinion on it, and that's possible job done for them, or maybe they will have him on their show do discuss "the slap" in the future.

Definitely. Will has changed. He didnt used to swear on his songs and was always fun and making jokes, plenty of fat jokes and bald jokes.

But now he seems angry and all over the place. And does weird things for attention with jada.

I've seen several comments like yours today, Why is it that men seem to think us women want them to physically attack someone if we are upset by something they have said? She was mocked by the 3 female hosts last night too, Should they have also been assaulted by Will Smith?

Real or not the little dick did deserve it. I’m anti bullying full stop. I don’t see verbal abuse being any different from physical one. Will had no choice but to protect his women. You want to make a joke that’s fine but don’t damage or play on other’s feelings

And Rock was clearly surprised after he was slapped, trying to process what the fuck just happened.

Ok Mayweather, well we will have to agree to disagree.

It got us all talking about it and everyone has a opinion on it, and that's possible job done for them, or maybe they will have him on their show do discuss "the slap" in the future.

Oh I'm sure we're gonna see every opinion and excuse under the sun about this incident on tv.

Definitely. Will has changed. He didnt used to swear on his songs and was always fun and making jokes, plenty of fat jokes and bald jokes.

But now he seems angry and all over the place. And does weird things for attention with jada. "
Trying to be his wife's "one true love that you only find once in a lifetime" (her words)

Unfortunately he doesn't pull off the gangster vibe as well as Tupac.

Also, Chris Rock was there doing his job. He's paid to make jokes, likely from a script the academy knew of in advance. I'd hate to attend a comedy show with anyone here who thinks Smith was in the right for assaulting someone over a joke, regardless of its content.

Does the severity of your implied butthurt gauge how far he can go violence wise. If you really hurt his wife's feelings can he use a weapon? Absolute joke of a situation and to be expected from a family that have clearly no grounding in reality.

If he had treated the joke with contempt. It would be over with. Now he's made a fool of himself and his wife is now the butt of many more jokes everywhere.

I now want a comedian who can fight to make similar jokes publicly or in Smith's presence repeatedly just to see how he reacts

I thought it was fake but the more i see it, it appears real. Will should have stayed put. Rocks joke at best was meh - he likened Jada to one of Demi Moore's big film - How dare he. But Wills reaction was odd, he laughed then got up, it was obviously due to Jada reaction to which he should have told her to deal with it. All this made Will look weaker. He has been punked by Jada numerous times. The disrespect never came from Chris Rock, it came from Jada. Will may not want Jadas name in Rocks mouth, but he should have made sure the other guys cocks werent in Jadas mouth. This all seems like a reflex to the cheating situation and embarrassment he has had from it.

Chris Rock is a docile guy, if it was anyone else he wouldnt have done it. He knew it. I honestly think if he did that to Rickey Gervais, Rickey would have laid him out. The joke is he looks so much weaker now. This Will Smith appears less confident, less masculine than the Fresh Prince.

"Real or not the little dick did deserve it. I’m anti bullying full stop. I don’t see verbal abuse being any different from physical one. Will had no choice but to protect his women. You want to make a joke that’s fine but don’t damage or play on other’s feelings "

What exactly was he protecting his woman from and that is such an archaic statement. He had plenty of choices in that moment, His behaviour is inexcusable.

Chris Rock should host next year with an hour long set about Jada, while wearing a crash helmet.

Well it looks like the oscars are doing an inquiry and it will be interesting to see what they decide. Personally I think some form of punishment is needed, Will Smith can not be seen to get away with this behaviour.

Hardly feels like an enquiry is needed. The whole world saw and heard what happened. They just want to buy time while things die down and the spin can be put out there.

On the punishment front, Smith should face the cops in the way any of us would if we publicly attacked a guy like that.

But there is a real issue the Academy will struggle with if they decide to take back his Oscar as a punishment. What about the likes of Weinstein? While Weinstein still has an Oscar (+ various others for his organisation) how the hell can it be justified to take back an Oscar for a slap?

He'll likely do an interview and express deepest regret.

"I think it was real. There is a lot of discussion whether it was justified though.

Rock made a joke about her lack of hair, which would possibly could be laughed off, but she has alopecia. So he was right to stand up for her, but was the slap too much? "

Didn't mind his Mrs taking someone else's cock though ay

It doesn't matter. Pretty sure it's not the law that you can attack somebody if you don't like their joke.

Not particularly, it was an aged reference that like I said would have been forgotten about in minutes.

However, Will, as a comedian has also made jokes about alopecia so he has zero moral high ground.

He's an insecure little man who wouldn't attempt violence against someone he didn't think he could bully.

Exactly, I can't believe anyone is attempting to justify his actions. I don't normally buy into the whole toxic masculinity is rife line but this whole "defending his woman" argument has me thinking its more widespread than I initially thought

"Thing is, if Smith had simply said “not cool” at the time then Rock would have looked a dick. Then Smith could have made a powerful speech about his film and finished off with a Rock put down like trying to embarrass his wife shame on you etc and the whole place would have erupted in supportive applause.

Instead he made a long winded speech that was half about the film and half about what he had just done. It cast a cloud on the celebration of the film.

And when he finally got his Oscar he overshadowed it by his behaviour. And that will be what his Oscar will be remembered for. And I think that’s a shame.

That said, I understand his wife has been the butt of some other award ceremony jokes and maybe he had just had enough of the shit. Push someone far enough and they snap.

I think Rock and Smith both need to look at their behaviour and learn from it."

I agree, I think it was Rock who made jokes about the pair previously

Any 'comedian' who resorts to insulting others to get cheap laughs just is not funny IMHO

You just don't know what goes on behind closed doors and I know I would be devastated to lose my hair as I'm proud of it and it epitomises me....If someone made fun of me publicly for it I'd be devastated

But Smith shouldn't of slapped him.

"She should put a wig on like most woman who go through chemotherapy and get on with it

Why should she have to do anything? Rock should have kept his mouth shut.

Do you think that's a valid reason for Rock being assaulted?"

Firstly, what does A have to do with B here? My comment was about Jada wearing a wig and the fact she shouldn't have to.

Secondly, as far as im concerned, if you talk shit about a man's wife, you brought her husbands wrath on yourself.

Now that dosent make the assualt valid, I'm just saying Smiths anger is understandable under the circumstances. Rock crossed a line but so did Smith. They both look foolish now and both parties are in the wrong.

If you want to live your life in the public eye then you have to accept the fact that your life is going to be scrutinised in such a way. She publicly made a big deal in the press about Will being snubbed for concussion, that's the extent of the previous jokes I saw. Standard current affairs comedy.

Likely blown out of proportion now though, like the GI Jane comment being reduced to being about her medical condition when It seemed to me to be a comparison between Hollywood stars who had a shaved head at one point or another.

I'm sure seeing the old footage of her husband making alopecia jokes is comforting though

So it seems the aggression/slap is a Scientology thing (the Smiths are members).
