People are still processing Will Smith’s assault of Chris Rock during Sunday night’s basement-rated Oscar telecast. The shock of the ugliness froze everything. Never before has something like this happened, certainly not at the Academy Awards, which used to be seen as the classiest awards show of them all.(Snip) The very thing that (I believe) triggered Smith’s meltdown — his wife publicly humiliating him as a cuckold, is about to be talked about and examined more than ever. It’s one thing for Jada to have affairs. This is Hollywood, after all. But for her to openly discuss those affairs on a podcast is beyond the beyond.

The fact that he was laughing at the joke before he went up the steps tells a big story. If he had been a white man or a conservative or a lesser star, he would have been hauled out by security. Chris Rock is the hero in this episode. He was a class act.

Talk about Black Privilege! A black guy can very merrily get up from the audience and hard-slap a paid comedian ... who is there playing out his act to make fun of people ... because he feels he can. Just play it out in your head to see if it would be okay for a Trump supporter (black or White) doing that. Or any White guy hitting a black comic!
The Academy, to save itself, should issue a statement that they are suspending Mr. Smith's Oscar until they can hold a re-vote. Ask the full Academy to vote on whether he should keep it or it should go to the actor with the second highest number of votes. Do what the Olypics would do!

I never liked him, never understood the fuss about him, and thought he and his wife were self-aggrandizing weirdos.

The Oscars were bad enough as it is but Smith turned them into some BET-like spectacle.

Smith doesn't care that his wife bangs anything that walks. But he cares about a bald joke and goes ape horse hockey. The only adult at the Academy Awards was Chris Rock who took Smith's girly slap and professionally went on with his part of the show. Smith is the southbound end of a northbound mule.

The Academy Awards have become totally irrelevant to most people because almost no new movies are worth watching, and the actors are boorish.

What the people who were watching the Oscars from around the world actually observed with the Will Smith assault on Chris Rock was an instance of US Black on Black violence that happens time and time again, violence clearly motivated routinely by an individual serious lack of self-control by the perpetrators. Even in response to minor occurrences in Black “communities” across the USA, where elsewhere in most cases such occurrences are routinely solved by a verbal apology or by simply saying “sorry”. Rock is probably lucky the Smith did not have access to a firearm as he easily could have been shot right in front of the Hollywood elite.

What I find interesting is the extreme un-wokeness of it all. Everyone was complaining that the Award show was too woke. This is the opposite. 1. Smith is married to a real woman not a man. 2. Smith acted like a macho man and defended his "weak" woman. 3. Smith just acted and didn't ask for an fake apology.

Seems there’s a resurfaced video clip of a young will smith joking about a bald band member on the Arsenio Hall show. The internet never forgets.

This is not about the color of anyone's skin and it is sad to see the blatant racist remarks that have been posted (but then the same racism is oftentimes thrown against Muslims and Arabs here on this site). No this is a consequence of the present-day culture in America. Two glorified idiots who in the scheme of things have not made any meaningful contribution to the world have shown their true selves. This is an accurate representation of present-day America and it applies to people of all colors and religions living in this country.

See, I knew Nolte would get to the psychology of it all (and never once mentioned race in his analysis unlike many who wish to make this about nothing BUT race). I enjoy John's takes on Hollywood. That said my answer is "Nah." I like Will Smith, I like Chris Rock. (I may not like what they believe or even say all the time but I still think they are probably decent human beings who have good and bad days.) I have never liked Jada, even less so now the more and more we learn of her vile proclivities and her wacko upbringing.

If this was a stunt, and I highly suspect it was, articles such as this promote next year's show for the boobs that want to see what happens next. It's indeed Jerry Springer-esque, and guaranteed to draw eyeballs. How many times has this "assault" been seen around the world? Another story this morning tells that tickets for upcoming Chris Rock performances are booming in sales and price. Wanna bet he'll be back next year?

In 30 seconds, Will Smith showed every stereotype of black males to be true. Emotional, lack of impulse control, violent, vulgar.

Exactly #19, I bet Chris would get slapped like that every week if it boosted his ticket sales. Actors act.. always and comics love attention.

Laughter has many definitions #1. There is happy laughter of kids, then there is the smiling man who is going to smack you down or stab you in the back. I have to wonder if Will is staying with Jada because he doesn't want to divvy up his fortune. Rock was wrong about one thing, you don't make fun of somebody who has a medical condition they didn't ask for. Rock blew it.

#16 prove to me that being Muslim or Arab is a race. PROVE IT.
#16 Furthermore, if you object to people criticizing Muslims or Arabs, then the takeaway SHOULD be that the Muslims and Arabs should reform themselves and grow up instead of telling lies about their faith and blowing things up in order to get their way and gain "converts". Mohammed was a sick pervert who lies mouldering in his grave and his soul is being treated to an eternity of being violated by Satan and his ifrits...and Mohammed LOVES it. So there.

As my step-daughter (Mexican-American and liberal teacher) put it, "and after a night full of BIPOC representation, he had to show a black man committing violence(assault) against another black man"?
And, yet, Will Smith laughed at the joke, which clearly Jada was very upset about, and only then did Will Smith react as though he had to.
Still was uncalled for, and bad optics, as they say.

#23 your post appears to be the written equivalent of Will Smith’s slap and sad reflection of you. Perhaps deriving racism from race is misleading today but then I wonder if you jumped to Whoopi’s defense a few weeks ago regarding Jews as a race. The point being it was a very poor reflection of both Smith and Rock if the main take away for you and others is that this is par for the course because they are black then what can one say on this forum without devolving into a saloon environment. As to your comments about Muslims well they are disgusting.

Excellent commentary on what transpired. John Nolte nails it! Here old Will had the world on a string and was about to get the prize of a lifetime and he just totally blew it. Is that self-hate, self-destruction or was he just trying to impress a wife that he cannot trust to remain faithful? I don’t know but he really did a number on his reputation. Now, will the marriage collapse under the weight of the negativity he receives? Who knows? But man, to do something this stupid in that venue in front of an international audience is unbelievable.

I don't know much about Will Smith, but I can say that if my wife was having affair i wouldn't have been there with her in the first place and in the 2nd. place i would not have made a fool of myself when someone made a joke about her hair.
I probably would have shook his hand.

Will Smith didn't blow up anything Hollywood blew itself while Smith was playing the Fresh Prince of Belaire. Who cares in the not too far future the red carpet is going to be a drag queen show anyway with soy boys wearing man buns. FTO

To split hairs (hares?), #30, Smith has always taken roles as know-it-all smart a$$'s. He himself, not so smart, not so knowledgeable.
Furthermore, the racial elephant-in-the-room is blacks and hair. It's an obsession with them for an obvious reason and one plays with fire commenting on black hair. Maybe more dangerous than insulting one's shoes.

Islam is disgusting. Judaism is not. Race is not a biological fact. There are no other species of human than homo sapiens, regardless of their lineage or melanin content. Anyone who conflates skin color with a species of human other than homo sapiens is a liar and a thief.
Ill say it again: Islam is disgusting. Calling out Muslims for believing the lies of a dead perverted liar is not.

The entire thing was low class, but that’s Hollywood for you these days. Another strike against Will Smith is he sounded like the rich, spoiled brats playing victim. Oprah, Prince Harry, and his bride Nutmeg come to mind.

Why would a man be so offended at a (admittedly poor taste) joke about his wife's hair, yet be fine with his wife openly cheating on him? Also, why was Jada sitting so far away from him at the Academy Awards? Hollywood morality makes no sense to me.
