- Will Smith made history by becoming the 5th Black man to win the best actor award at the Academy Awards.
Smith was nominated for his role as Richard Williams in the Critically Acclaimed film' King Richard.'
However, before the actor won the award, Smith walked on stage and slapped comedian Chris Rock for making a joke about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, and her bald head.
During his acceptance speech for his first-ever oscar, Smith apologized for his actions to everyone but the person he slapped.
Jada Pinkett Smith revealed in 2018 that she was diagnosed with alopecia. She has often discussed hair loss challenges on Instagram and other social media platforms.
On Monday, Roland Martin spoke with Dr. Jeffrey R. Gardere, a Board Certified Clinical Psychologist, and Robin May, a Licensed Professional Counselor about the smack heard and seen around the world.

Will Smith said, "Love makes you do crazy things." I disagree. Dysfunction and toxicity makes you do crazy things. Love is patient, kind, enduring, Love is not prideful, boastful or rude.
I totally agree
I totally agree!!She was mad @Him not Chris.
💯
Why yall black women don't tell HIM TO DIVORCE Jada. No black man gains success like him by being dysfunctional. But we see what EVE DID JADA IS NOT GOOD FOR HIM
My skin complexion and education was the but of black girls jokes
Chris handles himself with grace. He didn't even have to regain his composure, he never lost it. To have to carry on after something like this the way he did was amazing.
Yes. It was AMAZING ‼️
Agreed. Bravo Mr. Rock. After being slapped across the face; don't think I'd have the gumption to work the crowd and follow my written material.
But Mr. Rock is a veteran of the nightclub scene, Vegas, SNL, film and Oscar host allumn. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences knew what they were doing.
Absolutely AMaZiNG! I applaud him! He's the ReAL HeRO!
Good observation
A mans actions so who he is in real life rock was the rock in real life will smith show who he is in real life weak that red table talk is what this is all about will smith will let his feeling get the best of him about a woman who have show him no respect in real life whats in the dark will come to light this is about the disrespect his D list wife have showed him the pass 5 years the light have been turned on and his wife turned on the light weak move will smith this is what your wife have done to you
Jada was not attacked. Will has had a bruised ego for 3 years, crying at the red table and taking shit from Jada to his face about how August (her son's friend mind you) had her pretzel'd up in Will's house), saying in his book that he used to cry after busting a 🥜, his awkward kids especially his seemingly confused son. This was not about Chris Rock or Will defending his family, this was Will's chance to reclaim his ego and balls that Jada has snatched. His anger is misdirected. What about rock's kids and family that had to witness that shit. I will always defend my sistas, but Jada is the toxic one and she is singlehandedly bringing down one of our black heroes. Can we call a spade a spade for once damn!!
amen
Speak on it ...👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
💯
Spade👏🏾👏🏾
As usual Will Gave the white man what he wanted. Now we will hear about Will Smith proving how violent we are. Will git away not inspire of him being black. But, because he produces many Greens for them..
As Dr. Omekongo Dibinga stated, “we can’t condone violence between us and then condemn violence against us.” Well said!💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@DeeBee145
Exactly. 💯.😔
Agree
FIRST OF ALL THAT WAS A SLAP, ON BEHALF OF HIS WIFE. NOT AGAINST AN ENTIRE ETHNIC GROUP WHO WERE EVEN KILLED BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN, FIGHTING NONVIOLENTLY FOR THEIR CIVIL RIGHTS! THIS IS A REPLY TO DEEBEE145. THIS IS NOT THE SAME THING!
Amen, @DB101415!
Privileged is when you can walk on stage during a live award show and slap a man. Then sit back down in the front row and cuss him out.. Only to return to the stage fifteen minutes later to be given and award and make a speech acting like a victim.... If this is not privilege I don't know what is.
💯
Exactly
I'm glad he has it
your comment deserves a million likes... but did u see what u Got. ? 17... man, this world sucks. :(
Excellent commentary.
No one has the right to walk up to another individual and slap them because THEY feel they need it. It's called assault and it's illegal.
Period
Misdemeanor under California Penal Code 240 and punishable by up to 6 months in jail plus fines ! I hope CRock changes his mind and press charges!
Well said ! I am a woman and I don't need a man to defend me and to loose his reputation over me. I can love my man enough that I would want the best for him. Amen.
@@sunflower-oo1ff Agreed! My exact sentiments.
Apples and oranges? Why did you even have black Karen on. I found her comments off subject problematic and will keep us down as a people. So glad Roland called her ignorant ass out.
Richard Williams defended his family, but not with violence. He did it with determination, faith and hard work.
Thank you. They should have booed him at least for that.
King Richard was gonna smoke that fool in front of the convenience store until someone pull that drive by first..
And Richard lived in “Compton”, not “Beverly Hills”.
Lies u must didn’t watch the movie
Damn it. Will is not Richard.
He just publicly assaulted another black man and now he’s about love and doesn’t apologize to the man he’s assaulted? Really. He’s not protecting black woman , he’s trying to reclaim his manhood. Disrespectful and disgraceful
@ Erica F, and you know this how exactly? Well I guess the only way you would know is that you know Will Smith personally and know he lost his manhood and now he's out to reclaim it. Some of you people are so full of it. You don't know Will Smith and don't know jackspit about his manhood.
I agree that entanglement issues has fun...ked will up
@@unclesmooth6731 watch the language please
@@fayshanamayberry2794 This is a conversation for grown ups. Please don't try to inflict your feelings on someone else's thoughts and feelings. He said what he meant to say.
I truly hope Will gets help that he truly needs. He and his wife need counseling. And Chris, Jada and Will need to have a face to face conversation about the joke/hurt feelings..
As a black woman, I don't see the disrespect. He made a joke about an haircut. Did he know she has a condition? May be not. Not everyone follows Jada every move. As black women, we are taking this way too far and projecting in my view
I second this as a black woman 🙏🏾 if it wasn’t for this situation I too wouldn’t know she had Alopecia.
I agree but for the people that did know she had a condition as in Will and Jada it was offensive to them so people still need to try understand both sides. Not saying he was right but what is not offensive to you or us still can be offensive to somebody.
If you don’t see disrespect look again. The jab was personally attacking her appearance rather he knew about the condition or not, and that is a no no. People like you don’t get it until it happens to you. He should have kept the comedy general… not saying a very misogynistic insult disguised as a joke about her bald head. That’s horrible. And very tacky. Especially because it’s an illness. So since he didn’t know WHY she was bald, don’t mention anything about it at all. He kept all the other jokes general and about the actors roles. Jada Pickett is not Demi Moore. He was wrong for that. Hence the slap. In addition to all else the Smiths have had to deal with in terms of scrutiny over the years and not once “clapped back”. Will simply snapped.
@@servdv it’s comedy and it didn’t deserve physical violence though. It could’ve been an honest mistakes. Do you realize how many “oops” deaths there had been to present date? This is a situation that could’ve been easily dealt with after he accepted his award and went back stage with Chris. There are no excuses for this behavior.
Agreed 💯‼️
What are these women talking about? Jada needed to protect her husband, and his reputation and his special night. He could have handled that later. He messed it up for everyone, the first all black staff to produce the Oscars, and himself.
Really but black ppl slap black ppl everyday where are u then? Foh with this nonsense smh
true
THANK YOU!
Jada didn’t tell him to slap Chris..Don’t blame her for his decision
I know. It's like this females on there are defending Will's actions. WTF?
For all of you women who have sons & tell your sons that Will Smith's assault was justified, be prepared to visit your son in jail, at the hospital or at the morgue. These are the real world consequences for Will's actions. Rock didn't call Jada out her name. He didn't cuss her out. He didn't lay hands on her. Will's actions were NOT justified.
Exactly!! Will needs to get help. Him & Jada both.
👍🏼
Yes better ask my ex girlfriend
Absolutely! I know someone who was killed because they initiated an altercation with another person. Now two lives have been destroyed. Bad decisions sometimes have tragic consequences. Nobody wins in the end.
Omg...I so agree with you
Thanks Roland Martin for your panel discussion on Chris Rock and the slap by Will Smith. I am 80 yrs old and I remember the talk when I was a child “Sticks and stones can break my bones but; words can never hurt me.
Your presentation should be played in all the schools and on every TV network and especially the Black Network. Love it! Love it! Thanks Again, Ellen
You could tell Chris was shaken up, bless his heart. I felt bad for him.
Will walked up there like he was joking, basically snuck him.
That part! Not only was Will wrong, but Cowardly, at that!! Smh
.. Then went back to his seat & pretended to be King Kong.🤨🙄
@@MsAdreaL Remember the show FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR? He clowned Carlton in every scene. Maybe that was how the script was written, but it seemed as though he added more.
You mean he snuffed him. But I get it
Will is a f$cking punk. He needs to go back to West Hollywood for some "D"...that will calm him down "as usual"...
@@Rayrockny no she's right just a lil slang on it
My wife of 12 years told me if I acted like that over a joke, she would have been so embarrassed she would have walked out of the venue. She also said she would have chewed me out on the ride home... "Your dumbass about to lose your Oscar, after I made such a big deal about you not winning in 2016, risk getting an Assault charge and a hefty law suit, over a dam joke. I don't know what kind of King Richard ego trip you going through... but that's NOT how you protect me." To my Married Men... that's how REAL CLASSY BLACK WOMEN RESPOND. They are embarrassed by THUGS!
Absolutely 💯
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
True that!
I totally agree.
Truth! The sign of a man that loves me is not one who is going to make a complete a$$ out of himself on national tv but one that will care for me in normal day to day life!!!!
I am appalled that both black women on the panel actually support Will Smith in that foolishness. That was a horrible thing to do to another person over a lighthearted G.I. Jane joke. I bet if it were Dwayne Johnson telling the joke, Will Smith would have done nothing. Smith has disgraced himself in front of the whole world. I feel sorry for anyone that supports that kind of barbaric behavior. Roland Martin spoke with such wisdom in his final remarks.
Amen
The Rock would know that she is suffering from a disease.
What's even sadder is that "Black" women have been unprotected for so long that they are grasping for anything that looks like the "Black" man is finally stepping up to protect them. Sad but true.
You know the black woman gonna defend him because they ain't use to protection you don't see anywhere woman defending that
Why do so many cowardly black men keep talking about what they bet he wouldn't have done if it was this or that guy? 🤔 none of these men that any of you are naming are known tough guys outside of the roles they play.
Love that Chris Rock stood there like a real standup man, things could have went way left Hugs to you Chris for not reacting you stood there in a way that a great man does!!!!!
I have always been a Chris Rock fan but i have never had more respect for him than I do now. How he held it together I do not know. He really kept his composure. If he had tried to go back at Will as he was walking away then surely an already bad situation would have escalated into utter chaos.
@@thelawofdivineoneness458 Amen!
@@thelawofdivineoneness458 Yes I'm so very proud of him for being the great man that he is,showing the world that yes he was slapped in front of millions of people, but the world also saw him hold his great composure 👏 👏 ❤
@@lafara1656 Well said.
You’re the real hero Chris.❤️
As a retired nurse,i cannot count the times that i have been cursed and talked about,just for trying to get my patients taken care of. I could not go up and hit them,i was expected to take the high road as a supervisor,smith showed very poor taste and should be held accountable.
I was threatened at work last week and this whole thing is giving me flashbacks
@@damiondash3465 please take care of yourself,sorry that happened to you,but do everything you can to be safe,take the high road
There You Go !
Also a retired nurse, can relate to your story.
Okay - but he’s not a trained nurse: he pretends to be other people as a job.
The way I’m seeing this whole incident right now, Will Smith does not know whether he’s coming or going. I mean he is on full TILT! “Don’t Nobody” goes from chill to laugh to violently furious to weeping publicly like that!
I salute Mr. Chris Rock. He handled it exemplary to me given the circumstances. Mr. Rock recognized the magnitude of the moment and how it would impact for decades to come and chose the True Path of a Man.
Also, I think Mr.Rock witnessed the inner turmoil Will is in and pitied him.
Will, Get some help please.
Mr. Chris Rock, Thank You!
If you are broken in spirit he snapped! He was dead wrong, and missed an opportunity to apologize to Chris in this speech.
Exactly...like a Kanye moment, Ego...losing your marriage.
It sucks when you dislike a comedian so much, but out of the sudden you grow some respect for him. I would have not reacted the same way, and made the scene way more embarrassing instead.
Being married to a narcissist long term messes up a person's mind.
@@Jannbright24 Will Smith did apologize to every one else, EXCEPT Chris. What a jerk.
“But part of protecting black women, is also black men, protecting yourself, by not creating a situation where you may not be around tomorrow” Roland you better preach!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This part !
Sistas need to understand that such action has nothing to do with his masculinity.
It displays character of assertiveness.
Protecting what type of black woman
Say that cuz I wanted to say that. In total agreement. Roland crushed this.
This not difficult at all. It just not that damn deep! Will Smith was wrong and should've been arrested on the spot.
Jada wears the pants in the family and has a bigger pee pee than Will has. All this does is set back black people in being judged.
They stole the whole show. So many other oscar recipients that we haven't heard from that night.
Best oscar show ever I could cared less about anything else
Will did all that from an entitled egotistical place. The whole thing was slow motion, dramatic open hand slap, walked back to his front row seat, then continues to scream. Collects his Oscar with a standing ovation and long speech justifying himself, gave a weak apology, partied the night away and posted some ridiculous stuff period. He isn’t sorry, and he got the A LIST treatment.
🎯🎯🎯
Shows how mess up the world is
Amen
You talking about what other women won't do Please you don't know what you would do if put in a situation. People always monday quarterbacking.
Well written. Best critical thinking piece on incident. The only time apology would have been real was at his acceptance speech, directly addressing Chris w/o giving excuses. Crowd applauding Will minutes after the slap was spineless as Jim Carrey mentioned...they showed themselves to be socio-economic status climbers trying not to get marked by the all-powerful, influential force that is Will.
“We can’t condone violence between us and condemn violence against us.” Well said, my brother. We can’t have it both ways.
That makes zero sense..one has absolutely nothing to do with the other. People will always have conflict amongst each other that doesn't mean we shouldn't have a problem with conflict against us..make it make sense please.
Great comment...
@@SunshineKK99 These mfs just be saying anything like they Confucius or somebody and sound stupid.
@@SunshineKK99 What he is saying is we shouldn't be ok with violence only when it is done within our community but be against it when someone outside of our community is doing it to us. Violence is not the way to handle a situation because of a bad joke. You are speaking about conflict and he was talking about violence. They are 2 different things. Will chose to handle conflict with violence.
I endorse this statement 💯💯💯
Hats off to you, Roland! I enjoyed this convo. 🔥 I’m a black woman and I’m not offended. Protecting your family can be done while also protecting your brand. Jada has embraced her condition and openly seems confident in her skin, so I was taken back by the eye roll. Also, Chris prefaced the joke with “I love you”, and he didn’t compare her to E.T., Mr. Clean or anything unsightly. He said GI Jane, a fierce, brave and badass character who looks equally attractive without hair. Most young people didn’t even get it, but they sided with Will because it’s Will Smith. His own son tweeted “this is how we do”. That’s disheartening.
This is what I have been saying. He compared her to a beautiful woman not ET!! The Smiths were wrong wrong wrong. And they were proud of their actions through the vanity fair after party. They are only became embarrassed after seeing the backlash develop in the aftermath.
This!!!! 💯 💯 💯
Omg! I totally agree. I said the same exact thing.
That's what I was saying, if ppl haven't seen the GI Jane movie they wouldn't get the joke. Demi Moore was everything in the 80's beautiful strong representing women and that's what that movie was about, this being "women history" month!! I thought it was a great comparison.
YES! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 How quickly people forget how badass GI Jane was as a person. That should be compliment.
Will’s actions is a prime example of letting things fester inside
Roland, thanks for keeping it real. I wish two of the black female professionals on this show could use their platform to understand, support and teach that black women are not defined by their hair. For them to be DEEPLY offended by Chris Rock's comments suggest that black women are inherently so insecure or value their hair so much, that joke is worth FIGHTING for. We as black women regardless of hairstyle or length, have come too far to turn allow our minds to be subjected to feeling insulted, hurt, ruined by something so trite as a joke. Our fight is much greater than hair. There are truly worse things in life... and hair and ain't of them.
So true. I totally agree as a black women we should be judged as a person and not hair
A bill called The Crown Act was passed recently to protect US from hair discrimination. So it is a serious matter. We have always endured negative comments, jokes, people touching, taunting, and degrading our hair. So we have a reason to be insecure about our hair. This bill will help us with our insecurity but it will take time. We should support our sistas and judge them.
You got it all wrong Ki. It is not about black woman’s hair which black women value so much as you put it as much as white woman value their butt, but rather at her illness or disease which was the cause of the hair loss which chris exploited and joked at her expense.
I doubt she would have taken offense if Jada purposely shaved her hair as a fashion statement and Chris took a jibe at her.
Right on, Roland!!! Agreed!
So, a black man slaps another black man, and it's still the fault of black women. The blame placed on Jada highlights this. A very prominent man chose to break the law, assault, in the most public way possible and it's still her fault. Has she had him hypnotized, or lobotomized?
You can’t physically hit another person it is an act of violence bottom line. People on here are trying to justify violence. Then our kids can do it too. You guys are soooo wrong. Kudos to Chris Rock
Exactly
Please note this is a dark moment for Black History Smith actions has taken away from the light of our Greatness of our race period !
Thank You!
So black people aren't defending themselves these days huh.
@@thelonepoet1 you can't be serious.. ass whoopings in the black community ain't nothing new.. this just happened in front of them stuck up white folks at the Oscar's so people are making a big deal about it.. that slap was just a chill out tap from Will in our community
What was Jada being protected from, an insult ? Everyone gets insulted nearly every day. Jada elected to display her indignation provocatively, and Will responded violently. Chris Rock did his job like a true professional. This isn’t about defending someone, this is about a pair of unchecked egos masquerading as love.
Less than an insult, a tame joke by a comedian on the clock.
Very well said
Read Jada's body language she was humiliated.
Will Smith is suffering from long term Covert Narcissistic Abuse from Jada. This is totally about is relationship with his wife. Real love doesn't make you do crazy things. Narcissistic Abuse does that.
I love both artist, I feel Will was reacting to something internal. NO ONE NEEDS PHYSICAL PROTECTION FROM A JOKE it may sting but no one dies.
Mr. Smith just won an Oscar for playing a man that endured more than any of us will ever know to get his daughters to play tennis. The Williams sisters and Mr. Williams fought racism, bigotry, discrimination, games and anything else you want to add in to play a game, a sport they love.
There is no one here who can tell me that Mr. Williams did not want to beat down some of these people that were standing in the way of his dreams or the dreams of his daughters. Yet this man, this Black man, with two Black daughters, worked tirelessly in a mostly (nearly entirely) White sport and climate, by using strength of character and fortitude to help propel his daughters to become the Superstars they are. And ultimately they found success and have become icons!!! Enough such that a movie was made about their lives.
Mr. Williams did not resort to hitting people, he stayed strong, showed and exhibited pride, dignity, and power to his daughters and children, and that is why they became who they are. Mr. Williams navigated the minefields and knew every step that he took was not only watched by outsiders, but by his family. Mr. Smith just won an Oscar portraying this man, but it seems as if he learned little.
I just wanted to say that.
I needed to Get Something Off My Chest.
Perfectly stated. Thanks for getting that off of your chest.
My sentiments exactly.
Will Smith embarrassed the Black race. Whites are probably smirking at us.
Bravo! Perfectly stated. Don't risk it all to gain NOTHING. That reputation precedes you. Don't tarnish it!
Well said👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Mr Williams never resorted to violence and endured so much to see his black queens rise to the top and be the best they could be. Will played him sooo well, and then to resort to this😔 very disappointing.
@@MsPathow What a ridiculous comment. I think it's time to deprogram yourself from belief in the concept that the actions of one Black man is a reflection on all Black men. It's a concept rooted in racism.
“ love makes you do crazy things” is what every domestic violence perpetrator say do their victims! Literally !
The lady in the yellow is completely delusional!! Thanks for keeping it real Roland!!
Agree, She's making all those annoyed expressions, not very professional
All true. She's completely wayyyyy off.
Very much so !
She’s got problems. Seems some people are bringing their peeves and emotional and mental health issues to this and making it about stuff that we don’t even need to consider. Will was wrong. And he should train himself not to bark and bite on Jada’s command.
And this lady is absolutely delusional to the point that gravity is not even hold her down straight up in outer space👀😳🤯🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
The lady in the yellow made a fool of herself trying to disparage Chris Rock but ended up quoting him to make a point🥴🥴🤡, and even worse, a quote referencing a murder. Be quiet miss.🤦🏿♀️
Awesome point! I agree She definitely missed the mark on that one with her comments
Not intellectually stimulated by her stupidity wrong is wrong
💯 👍🏽👍🏽
She is a clown
hilariously embarrassing
Imagine... if Will would have walked up the stage and instead of slapping Chris he faced the audience and said “Jada, you’re the most beautiful lady here tonight and I love you till the end of time”. He would have elevated his wife, his family, himself, the show, the world, humanity, the universe.
Jada wouldn't have cared. She's for the streets & still yearns for 2pac.
@@DB-115 maybe but every other woman in the world would have died of envy and every young Man would have noticed
let it go yall.....it is going to be alright ......just pray for a negative to turn into a positive.....and leave it alone
That would be more appopriate and noble but when u r mad, there is no way u can think of a better way to respond.
Nevertheless, Jada shd have worn a headress if she wouldn't want to be noticeable, lest be d center of a joke.

Thank you Roland for keeping this discussion to what the truth is and should of been about...
If we start condoning protecting when it's not based on self defense or life threatening situations, we are going to have a lot more black men six feet under!!Feelings has it's place, but I would never let my husband risk his life/our lives based on what somebody say's.
100% correct. Protecting his wife would have been to lean over and whisper in her ear, baby your beautiful don't let this clown ruin our nite. I will address this with him later on, off camera.
This!!!!❤
Not just black, many people are going to endup dead!
Thank you!!
Did she tell Will to go slap Chris.???
Cut to the chase. Bottom line is, you can’t slap people when you feel like it!
Agreed. Okay. We can't be five.
Agreed!
Thank you!
@@ecatheatre86 crocodile tears
@Michael jf get with the program! We are not talking about the N word.
It's interesting how many black women are defending Will's violence as acceptable behavior under the label of defending a women. As a father who lost his eldest son to gunshot after he punched this thug who disrespected his female friend, we "have to" as black men be able to resolve conflict without violence, and our black women can't be egging on this violent behavior as the standard for their defense or making men feel like they are a punk if they don't throw hands, outside of self defense.
So what does that tell you about the character of these women...🤔
Well said. Profound.. Condolences for your son.
Agreed. There's no lack of prisons or plots of land for graves for Black men who can't fully comprehend the survival essentials in dealing with conflict.
Bravado and bluster can lead us to undo our intentions to protect and lead to our demise.
I too have a son, and I can not even imagine your grief. Heartfelt warmth from another Black Man. To be honest, I have made it clear to my son in no uncertain terms that _American Females_ are simply not worth the trouble. When saying _American Females,_ this does not include Real American Women (big difference between a "female" - who believes the standard equipment between their legs is some money making device - and a *_Real Woman_* ). *_Real Women_* were the keys to the generation of Black people who were part of the Great Migration out of the South. Imagine today, a Black Man telling his wife that _They_ were going to leave their geography for better economic opportunities elsewhere... and her replying "If that's what you think is best, it's what *We* will do"?
Not this Black Woman, it was dishonorable & disgraceful.
Chris handled the hell out of the situation!!!! He was amazing
Yes, Chris handled himself very well in the reaction of what Will did, but what I don’t understand is out of all the people in that grandiose theater, why couldn’t he have talked about anyone else?
@@hotgritz4sho you must not have seen the show!!!! He did talk about others!!!! Right before talking about Jada, he talked about a husband and wife that was sitting there! Can't remember their names. Either way, Chris, like I lots of people didn't know about Jada's hair problem!!!!
Roland you are absolutely right Chris rock he was a professional and he handling it very well I am so proud of Chris rock💯💯
My respect for Chris Rock has now gone through the roof. I admired how he handled himself
Lol, how he started it ?
@@mnmmnm8321 nothing he said justified Will physically assaulting him. Will should’ve addressed him backstage or taken a dig at him in his award speech. Will was wrong
Isn’t that what a kid says Cindy? He started it! Just too many of some silly children in adult bodies.
I lost respect for Chris Rock when he started making jokes about how black think and exist. and not about how we behave as he use to he has become very negative about black people with his jokes, watch his next stand up and see for yourself. Now Chris thinks he can insult a man's wife on national tv then the man is bold enough to slap the crap out of him on national tv plain and simple. We as black people are quick to condone each other just like our adversary wants us to do.
Donald, bold enough. See if he would’ve been ‘bold’ enough to hit THE ROCK. And you’re talking about him talking negative about Blacks now? Well Smith justified that negativity. How old are you? What world do you live in to think you can break the law over words? Ok, I call you a broke a€€ MF’r. So because my words hurt you does that give you the right to rob me because I have money? Good lord people. Grown people at that.
Those defending Will are not looking at the big picture. Will could have talked to Chris backstage.
I totally agree because if that had happened in the streets it would have been a totally different outcome.
I was raised in Chicago Illinois I live an hour outside of Chicago and every day on the news it is black on black crime...black men shooting up each other for nothing... innocent lives being lost over nothing and if we live in a world where no one can say anything because everyone gets offended then everyone will be dying...
it is no excuse for What Will Smith did he is not a role model for children he is now a poster child for professional thugs...and men who allow their wives to publicly humiliate them at their own whim ...
Jada has been disrespecting Will Smith too long and that's where his anger really lies
Exactly Dr. Camale D.
Yeah, and the irony is he messed up his own night! Stupid! That was a supposed to be a night to remember. In a good way!
Acknowledging Chris Rock's habitual disrespect of black women is not supporting Will Smith's actions. People have repeatedly admonished his actions. Will Smith's actions has overshadowed Chris Rock's persistent belittling of black women. It's intelligent to discuss the main issue of how little compassion and respect black people have for each other. Whether it's Will Smith slapping Chris Rock, or Chris Rock verbally slapping black women. Wrong is wrong, let's do better people.
The funny think the Smiths were the one's who had boycotted the Oscars a few yrs back and now they are the one who disgraced the stage .
Love how Roland shut down Sis about the quote not realizing it was from Chris Rock. Her whole argument when right down the drain.
I thought the exact same thing. The dumbfounded look on her face told it all.
Roland had to correct her a few times. For her and that older red haired lady to condone what will Smith did, while crying how black lives matter is just ridiculous!!!! Will Smith proved on live TV, in front of millions, that he IS NOT the positive, slightly intelligent person he's "performed" to be for so many years... WITHOUT REAL OR SINCERE APOLOGY! SMH Chris Rock handled himself like a man! His job is entertaining! He is a public figure! Which implies you CAN NOT get in front of people and just show your arse!!!
Yessss. He should have shut her down. She took everything to another Level, smh
Sis was lost a Will Smith fan
Jada didn't even try and stop Will or calm him down. She just sat there looking as Will was yelling and swearing. Knowing this was the biggest night of his professional career.
That is because Will Smith is the only one that can't see that Jada don't even care about him. Only thing she care about is herself and if she hurting he better be hurting too, Will Smith is a true and live beta male. Because how in the hell you going to defend someone who has already put your sexual relations out in public and then went and had an affair with her son's friend. Will Smith is being manipulated and overpowered by Jaden Smith. Why would this woman even try to stop him when she don't even have feelings for him she don't care about what happens to him or what happens to his career. And this man is willing to throw his whole career way over a Jezebel spirit. Damn this grown ass man started crying like he's some kind of little bitty kid. This is the main reason why I don't even believe in none of that psychology stuff because these people want you to believe in watching what you say to people when it's your job to tell jokes. And then this man didn't even go into no kind of deep down exposure of the joke, just a plain as movie joke let's keep it moving.
I agree 💯. She sat there like she wanted it to happen. She made it all about her.
Very passive aggressive
She probably told him to go up there.
In my opinion she was smug acting the entire night barely smiled she appeared negative
I'm Indonesian, a huge fan of Will Smith, this slapping incident was all over the news in my country too. My heart broke when I saw the clip. It's obvious Will is going through something personal. I just feel that after the whole "entanglement" drama with Jada, he was never the same anymore.
GI Jane was a badass woman and Demi Moore rocked that cut and movie. I personally thought Jada would've been a great GI Jane if she was casted, with her work ethic, she would've nailed the role. I thought it was a compliment.
Hats off to Chris Rock for keeping his composure and kept the show moving.
Completely agree.
Wanna to come to the U.S.?
Great comment 👍 love to Indonesia 🇮🇩 ❤
He was setting her up for a job and she blew it. you're right.
I agree ..samething i was thinking
As Michelle famously said ‘when they go low, we go high”
Chris went high and left with his dignity in tact.
@LIONESS PROUD C’mon ,I get words hurt. Free speech comes with consequences sometimes. Remember when you were young about sticks and stones can break my bones. But words can never harm me. Keep your hands to yourself. Period stop.
@LIONESS PROUD It's a joke. Deal with it. If you can't, enjoy jail or the cemetery.
@LIONESS PROUD ... That Part! Chris Rock is well informed about Black Women and Hair. Not only does Rock have Black daughters, he produced a Documentary on Black Women and Hair: titled "GOOD HAIR". Rock has a MORE than healthy understanding of "hair significance" to Black Women. Julianne Malveaux is correct, as is her fellow Panel participant: Avis. The whole scenario was 'ugly and unnecessary'. Avis is also accurate in responding to all the "ENTANGLEMENT" toxic duplicity. On all levels Rock's "joke" was a completely unnecessary, unprincipled and a unfunny 'personal' remark. Rock was not on his game and Smith's balance askew.
Black on Black crime
@@annowens5019 Well said 💯
Let us use the Will Smith and Chris Rock situation as a "Teachable Moment". We must unpack this moment for the young eyes watching. Blessings with Peace❤
No excuses. Totally unacceptable behavior. Needs to stop. He assaulted that black man because he knew that there wouldn't be any consequences. It's a disgrace
Totally agree
100%
Totally agree bro. All I hear are excuses from grown people. Would he have done this to another "Rock" Dwayne, would he have done this to Jerry Seinfeld? No, because he knew one would kick his ass and the other would have him disbarred from Hollywood forever.
I think there gonna be consequences, maybe no charges file, but at the minimum he will be ban from the Oscar's
I agree
Chris Rock could've went off on him. He could've cut Will and Jada into little, sad, pieces. But he didn't. Great job Chris. 🙏
And those two would have provided much material to him.
Why didn't will slap Jada and her boyfriend
Admire Chris Rock
It's sad for both of them 😔 neither was right
Chris didn't mentioned alopecia at all he just mentioned her role as GI Jane, because, yes Jada is an actress, therefore her look will make her a great candidate for that part. He was putting that out there. He first started out by saying , "Jada I love ya". Take that statement and turn it into a an opportunity for a next movie. Her strength speaks volume. Then the joke would have been on Chris. Love Roland Martin.
Will Smith was extremely disrespectful. This behavior is uncalled for. You should never go into violence.
you should never make fun of someone spouse who have a medical condition. sorry that the men in your family are soft. real men protect their family
I agree, is sickening to see how many people are so willing to defend Will Smith. He ruined the night for himself and everyone else after that shameful act of violence witness across the world. And the world looking at how many are condoling his actions.
Will slapped only one face and it wasn't yours. Violence is that young man walking the streets with an assault riffle and killing folks, and the knee to the neck that caused death, Violence is the group that rushed the Capitol building and shot and killed folks that is violence, A grown man open hand slapping another grown man in the face for running his mouth is called a reality check.
@@mda0214 you should discuss about it to August, he might have a different opinion.
@@mda0214 Real men use reason and logic too. The "family" wasn't in any jeopardy. I can't say if Chris knew about her alopecia or not. Couples generally try to caution one another when they see things getting heated in the hope's of calming the other spouse down. Jada did nothing. Well, to make a long story short, Will embarrassed himself, Chris, the Academy as well as the producers of the show. I like both Brothers and I hope they can work things out. None of us are perfect. Also, some real men did step in, and calmed the situation down. You can't solve problems by putting your hands on someone. Real men teach this to their children. They teach them to think. I hope you're passing it on, because it benefits the "family". I also sensed this goes beyond a joke from Chris Rock. There are no sides to take in this situation. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Will was wrong! A real man can admit when he's wrong. To his credit, Will did apologize.
Jada laughed when Will walked back to his seat. She was his trigger. Sadly, he did not care about the consequences of his actions upon the rest of Black folks world-wide. Chris didn't know about her Alopecia. The disrespect Will showed Chris was felt around the world.
Nicely stated
As a black woman it’s no excuse for this.
NONE!
I can’t believe these older black women are defending this.
I agree. Assault for a bad joke. Meh.
What if she had cancer??? Or is that condition connected to it??? Is it OK to joke about anyone's health condition??? 🤔
You know right. I am shocked as well by these women. Everything is not about all black women. We need to take accountability as well and stop always being victims. Roland is right in what he said. The wife and husband is one and must go in the same direction.
Agreed. They are discussing an entirely different topic
With age comes wisdom.
Wonderful statement, “We can’t condone violence between us and condemn violence against us!”
What it means?
same ole same ole.... "we cant condone violence ".........who said violence should be comdoned...............NOBODY. in the black ....chinese ....white....asian or any other race said that........N O B O D Y.
"black people" cant do anything without yall making an extra spectical out of it because of their race
oh.....dont be black and make a mistake ........you better believe ts going to be magnified......shouted over the hills..............Black on Black crime is going to be the topic........tthat is so lame
listen.....violence is not black ...it is all colors.....period
I repeat it is done by all races.............stop telling black people that..... THEY .... have to be perfect while nobody else is perfect either.........
Black people dont owe no more than anybody else do ...so why do yall trerat them that way .....why ......... ?
why they held to more accountability than any other human being........its weird.
they doing the same thing other races do.......why single THEM out for everything ....why shine a spot light for every single thing.......huh
if a black person farts .......its a problem......they gonna call it black on black fart or something.....
EVERYBODY DOES IT......dont they ..........................????????
you dont hear the term latin on latin crime.....chinese on chinese crime ......white on white crime .....but let two black people have issues ....and here yall go .......news broadcast...."black on black crime " happened today ".....smh
its ridiculous ..........come on.......... but yall dont see that tho .
yall know they love to put black people on blast for everything...........yall know this.........STOP.... it is abusive.....how bout that.......to be told you suck in that only you commit crimes amongs yourselves as a race and ....noby else does that...........lies lies lies...........ridiculouseness is this.
if anything....... these racist people all over the world who have judged and treated black people and brown people differently are the ones who should be under "constant scutany "...not the victim.
p.s. in the words of Bernie Mack.......this sum BULL
listen.... the rest of the world dont need no help from yall to decide what to do about the slap.........shut these conversations down........nobody died nobody bled...nobody hates anybody ...they will prabably make a movie together and become closer than yall would have ever expected....yall making it worst......just use your show to pray for reconciliation between two splendid.....talented.....MEN....NOT BLACK MEN >>>>>>MEN
This statement says it all
Exactly and what that lady was condoning as Will was defending his black wife who was bruised, you can’t pick and choose what’s considered defending us black women bcuz where I’m from I know men who has lost their lives for so call defending their women and everyone loses when words turn into violence PERIOD!!
Amen!!!!!
"We can't condone violence between us, and then condemn violence against us." Bam!
💯
Sure we can. Everyone else on the planet does it.
💯
💯
Powerful!
Ppl are assuming that Chris Rock knew of Jada’s condition…he was simply referring to her hair cut…would Will advise anybody else to handle the situation the way he did ? I think not…he owes Chris Rock A public apology
Chris Rock knew all about Jada's condition just like everyone else in attendance at the Oscars knew about her condition. I knew she had alopecia, I read it on some extension of facebook.
@@llhannah9297 He's not offended because they were both sleeping around...why would he be offended when he was doing the same thing. Maybe they have that kind of marriage like many other married couples.
@ Michelle Manuel, People are assuming that Chrissy Rock didn't know about Jada's condition. He referred to her haircut and knew what she had been through after finding out she had Alopecia but that's what he does. He makes it his business to know what's going on in people's lives and makes lame ass jokes about it. That's why he got bitch slapped. Chrissy Rock owes Jada an apology. Out of all the hundreds of people who attended the Oscars he pick Jada Smith out of everyone for his lame joke about her appearance. This wasn't the first time Jada Smith was the brunt of one of his lame ass jokes.
@@llhannah9297, Then It wasn't weird that Chrissy got the sh** slapped out of him either. He didn't make fun of that woman's appearance but he saw fit to make fun of Jada's appearance. He knew better than to make fun of that White woman's appearance wit his horse mouth. FYI, I don't have Instagram, Twitter, snap chat etc...I don't indulge in BS such as that. I read the Washington post, New York Times, and other newspapers and Magazines. I read about her diagnosis from an online magazine. Thousands of people knew she had been diagnosed with alopecia. Yeah Chrissy knew about her condition just like most of the people that attended the Oscars. That's what his mule mouth do, he make fun of other people's pain. He should have told a joke about why his wife divorced his a**.and how many millions she walked away with!!! GI Jane was a fictional character in a movie. It's so sad that so many of you think GI Jane was a real person.
Love Roland's statement.... Strength is found in walking away..... Will Smiths reaction was out of order and not the right thing to do. Your closing statement was great Roland....
I guess we found out that Will Smith is no longer one of the good guys. I am completely disgusted and appalled by his behavior and I wish Hollywood had the guts to boycott him. I can't believe they gave him a standing ovation when he won his Oscar!
"We can't condone violence between us & then condemn violence against us" BARS!!!!!
That was gold
Definitely BARS
Straight bars!
"strength is also in walking away...reacting in ways that do not escalate..."
Yes,Roland! You have spoken great wisdom!

💌
Chris Rock's instincts did kick in but his brain stopped him from his original impulse. That is a man to be respected. I love him more now. Watch his arms in the video.
That's facts. I saw him ready to react and him stopping himself.
Agreed. Mr. Rock is from Brooklyn, New York, Bedford Stuyvesant I believe.
An ambitious, hardscrabble determination has shaped his incremental success through his various veins of entertainment accomplishment.
A strike by the likes of an Oscar nominee of Mr. Smith's reputation I'm assured was not the worst of Mr. Rock's early professional comedy engagements.
Nonetheless, Mr. Smith's actions were fully unacceptable and unbecoming of a man in his position.
I saw it too. It was for a split second and then he caught himself. As bad as it is now can you imagine if Chris had hit him back!!!!!!!! Will damn sure wasn't in the frame of mind to keep walking away, so it would've been a full on fight at The Oscars with NO winners. That moment of what didn't happen may be the most pivotal one of that entire scenario.
Can't imagine Will Smith having the intestinal fortitude to smack Daniel Tosh, Seth Rogen or Jimmy Fallon if they were to make the same joke. Chris never lost his composure and demonstrated his maturity as a true gentleman with poise and humility. Much respect to Chris Rock.
Criss knew he deserved it
You have selective memory
Jimmy Fallon would never have the classless vindictive stance towards a woman, and he is very supportive of black women, as Tasteless Chris Rock is not. Chris has been bullying and disrespecting black women for a long time, as well as being completely offensive to older actresses.
Had Will tried that trick on a white performer, he would be under the jail right now! Oprah was the butt of many jokes, but she weathered the storm.
Or rapper 50 cents !!
"We can't condone violence between us an then condone violence against us". Powerful and truest statement
I think that should read "condemn violence against us..."
Did you mean "condemn" violence against us? Makes more sense.
@@listenup2882 thank you! Thank you, thank you!
@@truetalk5211 exactly! I got what was meant, just wish it was written as so.
Black on black crime even if it's Hollywood 🤥🤥🤥
It seems to be personal for the lady in yellow. I can’t believe she is defending violence. No matter how great the point is, her face still says he was correct in smacking him. SMH
Right. She the type that get her man killed over some foolishness. Sista in yellow from what I keep reading looks like the majority of Black women riding with Chris on this. This wasn’t a protect Black women moment. 🙄
"An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, but she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones" (Proverbs 12:4).
No it was not the right thing to do
I disagree. Our sister isn’t looking disgruntled because she supports violence. She’s looking disgruntled because Roland shut her down. She disagrees with him about making women accountable for their male partner’s actions. I enjoy and appreciate Roland, but let’s be clear-it’s still Roland’s show so he always gets the last word. A more productive conversation allows for all sides to be heard which he attempted to do, but her points were drowned out by Roland’s immediate counterpoints.
Absolutely. Will thought it was funny. Jada's reaction set it off. Roland was right. She could have de-escalated the situation by stopping him before he got up to go to the stage. She was not being threatened. Chris did not know about her condition. But it was a light-hearted, harmless joke any way. In other words, not that serious. Jada should accept some responsibility. IMO, their stuff goes deep; the underlying toxicidity at play between them was clearly apparent.
I bet you if the joke was about someone else, he and his wife would be rolling all over the floor, the height of hypocrisy in our ppl
Everyone's a hypocrite in some way.
Exactly!!!
spot on!
So true
Not sure, maybe. But at least fake laughter. Out of control all around!!
My wife would wrestle me to the ground before allowing me to defend her in that way and disgrace myself. Why are most of the people commenting on Will's juvenile reaction, not realizing that, there is something terribly wrong with Will and his relationship with his wife. Not everyone knows about Jada's condition and she puts herself out there in a way that gives the impression that she is emotionally secure with her situation. Both Will and his wife need counselling.
@Tammy Will and Jada were broke up will was with someone else when she messed around with Auggie they were separated
👏🏻👍🏻
That's cause your wife loves you and you blessed to have each other. Will has been emasculated but this woman.
So you're saying-she'd do the thing to you that she's objecting to when you only might do it?🤔Doesn't seem like the best way to teach someone how to better handle provocation somehow.
@@darrylschultz6479 You are kidding right? That's the same logic as not doing anything while someone is getting stabbed because you don't want to be violent. Which by the way is how the all the people were acting when a man was being assaulted.
Will Smith apology was another act.
Nothing sincere about it.
He's nothing like Richard Williams.
His daughters were constantly verbally assaulted by the masses, and he held his composer with class.
Will Smith didn't learn anything from Richard Williams.
There was no reason given for will Smith action rock did nothing wrong but proud of you Rock you are a real man 😃
“We can’t condone violence between us and then condemn violence against” 🔥
Best comment i have seen so far,you smart.
Agreed 🔥
Ok, they need to get a divorce very toxic that’s why she was cheating 💯💯💯💯💯
For those women to defend Will is why there's so much killing in Black America by Black Americans.
@@manola22 is that the best you can think of..
The takeaway for me from today’s show was simply this; “We can’t condone violence between us and then condemn violence against us.”
💯
I'm not surprised about Will Smith. Lately he's been acting as if he's bugger than life, he has issues, deep seated issues that have affected and he directed his anger to the wrong person, his wife slept with her child's friend and others then boasted on TV about it and all he did was smiled talking about open marriage...that had to have affected him and he's desperately trying to cover his shame...what a predicament.
If only more people were as wise as you 🎯🎤
Beautifully put!
Thank you thank you that is what I am trying to say. I am also concerned with our violence with some of our comments. I'm black they are my people. I could be their mother. It needs to be discussed. The comments are so geto by some people of power.. I also thank Rollen for respecting all concerned
Will Smith deserves to pay for that. Just imagine that a man can laugh with you over jokes one second and strike you the next. That's a fake coward.
I agree !
Wake up. Chris Rock was Cunning for white folks. Will Smith has carried himself with class for 30 years.
Its a shame how quickly black folks turn on their own, Most of us still think Michael Jackson was a rapist.
Will was 100% wrong. I applaud Chris Rock on how he handled it. For the people supporting Will saying he was right. Don’t get upset when another person slaps your face or your child’s face for standing up for themselves or a family member.
Hitting another person is unacceptable , that’s an act of violence , no excuse for a grown man .
He needs jailed!!!
You know a grown man insulting another adult especially on their illness to the world is no excuse
He is a boy in long pants. Children make mistakes. Adults make decisions. Sue the idiot
I’m a woman and I never knew Jada had an issue. I thought it was a style that she looks amazing in because I cannot pull that look off. We’re assuming Chris meant it as an ugly joke. He compared her to G.I. Jane!!! I watched G.I. Jane several times growing up and wanted to be gorgeous and fit and bald like her, which is the description Jada fits now. I’m so confused. People are so sensitive now. I honestly don’t think that Chris isn’t that much of an ass that he would make that joke if he knew Jada’s bald head had anything to do with an illness. The women on your show who are condoning this violence sound like they’re taking this personally. As a black woman I’m not understanding this at all
Alopecia is not an illness
Cancer is an illness
Millions of pple have alopecia
She has been going around like she is the only one
You know damn well he did not mean it as a compliment..please.
My first thought exactly, i actually thought it was a compliment. Unfortunately, Will Smith's actions just took that strong feeling away for that moment. Now i am just mad and disgusted by his actions and have lost total respect for him. Loser.
Jada has cut her hair off more times than i can count....I didn't know she had alopecia! So are people suppose to walk on eggshells around her bald head. That was grandstanding at its finest. If that was anyone else, they would have escorted them out the building and off the premises. Hollywood entitlement at its best! Chris Rock...kept it pushing...true professional.
Me either! I'm too busy working to keep up with celebrity social media. Jada has worn her hair short MANY times over the years. I thought it was just a style switch up. 🙄
Also, her alopecia isn't medically caused, it's from braids and extensions done too tight, too many times. Now suddenly it's Medical? It may grow back. The thing is I've never seen medical alepecia in a straight line before. Go look at her video from 2018 where she shows her hair lose.
@@robinkirk5218 I am so glad you said it. I have alopecia so do many women. The form of "alopecia" she is suffering from is incredibly mild & can be covered up by growing her hair out. She is an attention seeker & nothing else.
CORRECT Jade claimed to be comfortable with her bald head and she loves her bald head, she is definitely not.. do you think Jazzy would ack like that
Say that!
Chris Rock is such a mature and professional person even at the most awful and embarrassing moment. Hats off to Chris and we got his back. 💙
Will laughed at the joke at first. Once Jada gave him the "bat signal" he turned into a completely different person. I'm going to say the quiet part out loud: I believe Jada enjoyed that. If Will Smith continues to allow his wife Jada to embarrass him that's on Will Smith.
Will opened his mouth and let sounds escape, it was not a genuine laugh and I have watched him do that countless times. He wasn't laughing and he wasn't and isn't happy.
Jada Pinkett us is the "Puppet Master" and Will is ass we know.
YES...he needs to face his truth and make some better choices....
She is a narcissist and Both admitted to an open marriage “Jada’s entanglement w/ the son’s rapper pal” … Will is under her power and she’s loving it because it’s all about her pulling his strings. He’s at the top of his game and she’s totally washed up; so now she has ruined his Oscar moment in history.
This is not about Jada losing her hair is about will Smith slapping Chris rock in front of the whole world is it right no.
Eddie Murphy-"Its just jokes"
I stand with Chris
We stop children from hitting each other over insults. Tell them its "wrong".
Well shouldn't no insults be thrown I'm sorry 2 wrongs don't make a right but there's always a reaction to an action
@@swagg_9104 you would've thought he called her out of her name and a bad mother with the way Will reacted. His reaction was a bit overboard. Also, from my understanding, Chris wasn't aware of her illness, she looks beautiful. I don't think his joke was to insult or imply anything outside of her beauty. Did Will possibly perceive it differently? Sure. But the slap was still extreme, considering the tone of Chris' joke. I feel like Chris Rock got the slap that Will wanted to give the people who really have insulted/disrespected them. Yes, I know what he said about Jada last year for being upset with him for not boycotting the Oscars, but again it was a joke and no jab at her individually as a person. He joked about the situation it's self (the boycott).
Simply put, don't disrespect people. It really is that simple.
insults towards themselves, yes... but its a whole other matter when someone insults your wife, your mother, your child in your presence. I'm still not condoning it, but I understand its possible to lose it in that moment.
Black people have enough enemies to fighting and killing one another.
Roland,
You and your panel gave the best analysis of that situation!
"Getting Jiggy With It!"
I am so saddened to see this. Chris is a truly great man and professional. He saved the show even though he was assaulted. It is really heart saddening.
It seems to me that Chris was hurt and got off track. But the gentleman that he is, he got on track and kept the show going. Chris is the bigger man of the two.
Extremely disheartening!
@@MsPathow Exactly! Yeah he was hurt and off course for a second but he came back and kept moving forward!
It's an act
Yes, it really was heart saddening and sickening. 😞
A grown ass man assaults another man and then go on stage,cry like he’s the victim.😡😡😡😡😡
And too many of these women and some men condone this ish and basically high five him. I think Chris Rock hurt their dang feelings a long time ago.
The sad part is his okay with his open marriage but not okay with a joke. That some one writer for Chris... That is sad.
@@chadalahio8266 it was back in 2016 when Jada boycotted the Oscars ..Chris said something like who invited you Jada has a huge eagle she must’ve never got over it.
Pathetic to hit a 60 yr old man over words and everyone hugging and consoling him yet nobody stands up for Chris. Academy Awards are a joke. Will should have been removed instantly from the building.

Thank you Roland for being real and calling out bs.
That woman on bullcrap
What Roland said at the end makes more damn sense than any of what the others said. We always pick a fight with who we think we can beat.
Roland was spot on. Those women were so caught up with Black women's hair that they missed the most important point about the physical aspect and the repercussions that could escalate to someone being seriously injured or killed. These women have to look beyond their own personal issues and see the big picture. Too many Black men are killed every day by other Black men.
@@1234bbruce Well-said. You took the words right out of my mouth and saved me the effort of a drawn-out comment..thank you. They did indeed miss the point currently being focused on and instead, got sidetracked onto an emotionally driven tangent. All I heard was blah blah blah!
@@1234bbruce especially the lady in red and the one with braids, you could almost see the eyes rolling while Roland was opening up the show and giving his perspective
You are 💯% correct!! Those people spoke from a professional, fundamental, emotional, cultural and philosophical point of view. Roland spoke from a wider viewpoint of how to deescalate a situation on all levels. He triggers everyone involved and dissects the matter thoroughly. He does not discriminate. He's not emotionally attached to friendships and will not sugarcoat his words.. The point he made with Jade not stopping Will is spot on. What wife wouldn't do that? I would!! I really don't think Will would have approached Chris if Jade was laughing. I personally think he did that to cover himself from the catching hell later for laughing more than protecting her emotions. Respect is given all around to a women and a man especially in a marriage. Why would you laugh in the first place if someone is defaming someone you love??
True
Roland. You dropped the mic right here. 🖐🏾🎤 If Will handled that business by using words like you said, he would be remembered as the greatest black best actor in history. A shame that Will be remembered as a violent black man.
RM is so right @ 18 minute que. That was Will's night and I would have not allowed my man's night to be ruined!
I have very little respect for Hollywood! Will is a perfect example of why!
I respect Jim for having a back bone and speaking the truth even though some of his colleagues with rebuke him for it.
Chris Rock is a true gentleman and “good guy”!
I can’t believe he’s not pressing charges! I wish he would because people like Will Smith think they own the world and have the right to do what ever they want at other people’s expense!
Then he tries to justify it with his acceptance speech which clearly means nothing and has no action behind his words of love! He clearly doesn’t understand what love is! His wife is a narcissist and isn’t bald! My best friend has alopica and really is bald!!! You can clearly see Jada’s hair growing is at her scalp, that’s why no one believes she’s bald!
She's also a cheater of the 1st degree!
Yes, I loved Jim Carrey's response. This was sickening
. It isn't an excuse for Will. She shaved her head to head off the patchy look. I don't find Rock to be misogynist and it was a mild joke. Comedian's tell jokes.I found out she had alopecia when this incident occurred. Poorly handled.
Couldn't agree more...Not to mention when she cut all her hair, she made a video talking about how she doesn't care what anyone says about her head. Of all things, G.I. Jane should've been a compliment. I actually thought it was a movie she was going to be in, til Will's hands went accross Chris' face..Disappointing..Very disappointing.
If one of us slapped someone like this, we would just now be getting out of jail. The only thing that is pissing me off about this whole things is how we are overlooking how the wealthy are above the law.
No they are not! Chris trying to spare that boy!
I think the reason Will didn’t get arrested is because Chris didn’t press charges against him. Even if a Chris did, Will would bail himself out of jail anyway.
hell Ive seen our people go to jail for defending themselves from attackers like this..
Thank you!
If it was a rapper,they would have been dragged off the stage, because they associate them as criminals.... Not saying Will was the only one wrong here. I just feel he could have handled it mam to man in a different way.
No pass for Will from me. You can’t not going around hitting people for jokes.
Exactly 💯
for repeated humiliation? hmm. i think you can.
Did you read about the actor that was in the movie Ali? He said Will did him real dirty in that movie and actually had the whole crew against him, his last name is Rodriguez.
@@biegebythesea6775 very unprofessional. Pure id. Ruined the publicity and experience for the other winners like Quest Love for his documentary.
It's in their DNA, they have a long way to evolution. Violence is still in them.
The lady in yellow has issues, she needs counseling! Chris Rock you have integrity, well done for keeping your cool!
It was not an attack on her acting career because she was almost non existing and when she was acting she wasn't great at it.
Yellow dress woman is just reaching to justify Will misplace anger if he actionly was.
I agree. Also, Jada has issues with her hair because of past styling that thinned her hair. I don't agree that she has alopecia. She has thinning and a receding hairline.
This has nothing to do with disrespect of a mate, but more with emasculation, disrespect, and embarrassment. My grandfather always said that “if you don’t want your business seen by others, keep it off the streets”.
She discussed her illness on her program as a way to inform ppl about alopecia. I think most ppl that want to vilify Will are conflating their love life with his reaction of his wife being publicly humiliated and one has nothing to do with the other.
So true, but Jade took advantage of her son’s friend August, by having sexual relations with him during is his traumatic issue instead of helping him. August called her out because he was hurt and Jade had to do damage control.
Roland I agree with you 100% in my house we call that survival skills. Learn to walk away
They're going to be running this for years why couldn't it just be something you handle backstage I'm sure I'm sure it was just a joke it she felt that bad about her head everybody's been saying she wears it nice just stay home me and myself I think it went too far I love them both but I think you'll like it went too far and you know they're not going to let you forget it
This is not who will is.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get. He slapped another Black man during a worldwide broadcast. Outrageous. And then they all jumped up and clapped for him. And they were thinking, "That's what they're like." Good job, Will.
2016, when Jada releases the video about protesting the Oscars, who does Rock start in on? Jada Pinkett Smith.bHe basically said " nobody wants you here". You don't think Will saw that.? Wasn't Chris kinda pandering to the higher ups by slamming someone who chose to boycott? In 2022, he didn't make fun of Bardem and wife. But he went right back at Jada. That was TWICE that that black man chose to put another black man's woman down and make her a laughingstock.
@@noeltaylor3594 I don't agree with Chris Rock's statement in 2016 but it still doesn't deserve for Will to make a fool of himself and humiliate Chris Rock. This will unfairly be blanketed on the black male community as a whole. Whether Will was white or black it would be wrong, but he's black and that means something. The night was about praise and achievement, so sad it took a left so quickly smh...over Jada 🙄 chile please. Nonetheless my prayers goes up for them all 🙏🏾
I whole hardly agree! Understand this, I think Will Smith is a great actor, however the Smith’s are not exempt from jokes. Will did a bald joke many moons ago, how did that slap across his face feel to him! Oh!!! That’s right Will didn’t get slapped for that particular joke. I say all of that because, If Will isn’t offended by his wife infidelities or he himself putting his personal life out there for public consumption then I find it hard to believe that this is what set him off. If you’re not going to slap the teenager that’s humping your wife then for crying out loud why would you slap Chris.! The joke may have been distasteful but it wasn’t assault worthy. Will and Jade have said worst things about each other. And for those whose out there talking about protect Black women!! Ask yourself this !!! are we being protected against the things Rappers say about us / Black women Everyday. Keep that same energy when the Da Baby and the Lil Wayne’s of the world be talking that ish about black women and not a one black woman want to Cancel them. When they all should get the the same punishment. Black women if you’re not offended by everybody being disrespectful then you can’t be mad at anyone.
I believe that Smith was trying to keep face with his wife because he laughed at Rocks joke as well. Chris, regardless to what folk think, held the most integrity.
Most definitely I’ve always been a fan of Chris Rock now I have great respect for him
Will was not angry at the joke, he was angry that Jada made him the joke.....with August. Let's call a thing a thing.
I agree!
He was laughing at the other joke not the J.I. Jane comment. If it was a handicap person and he made fun of his appearance you would see it different and if a man made a distasteful joke about a woman and she slapped him you wouldn't say nothing. STOP THE HYPOCRISY YOU LOSER AMERICANS.
@@sweetangiegirl1 Stop it. That didn't have anything to do with you. You guys are reaching with this.
Totally agree. What I learned over the years. It’s not what you say , but how you respond, you as a human being are in control of your life and own actions. No one else
He overshadowed important moments for the black producer of the ceremony, Questlove's moment and made everything about he and Jada's toxic relationship. He was wrong and should never be invited back. People cannot arbitrarily get up and pimp slap someone because you didn't like what they said. Wrong time and place. I GUARANTEE HE WOULD NOT HAVE DONE THAT TO A WHITE PERSON IN THAT SPACE. HE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN CUFFS.
Truth.
He slapped a White person before so...no. He was wrong but he should be invited back. If Roman and Woody can come back then he can go back.
Facts💯‼️
@@SoupBone-bp1qk Not next year though. He has to be held accountable.
@@TheRmjr - Yes, he should be penalized but this talk about taking back his Oscar is stupid.
My son's saying:
You cannot control what a person say or do. You can control how YOU react to what he/she say or do.
Amen
My husband was upset about something when we were on our way to his dad’s funeral and he had to speak at the funeral and I told him not to get up there and bring anything up, to keep things good and that he didn’t want to make his dad’s funeral ugly and before he went up to say his speech I reminded him not to say anything out of the way and he didn’t, he actually put everything aside and said a beautiful speech and afterwards he thanked me
You are the perfect wife and You! what to say! What you said was correct to say! Women who does not have their husband's back are vengeful and manipulative sad people!! Thank you for supporting your husband the correct way bibically because he was grieving and full of hurt and in his pain like others who were there! So there did not need to be anything negative words released! You were his best friend and Holy Spirit used you as hlis sounding board to help him in a very painful moment in his life! You made things so much better for him that day! Thank you and I thank God for wives like you! I did the same thing for my husband when he was here on earth with me! He lives in heaven now since September 4, 2015 and I miss that relationship! Your are 🙌🏽 blessed and your husband is blessed to have you!🙏🏽😇
💯✊🏾♥️
you did a good deed.
A wise wife saves her husband from going crazy. Thank you for sharing
Great couple. I love it.
Honestly Jada is rolling her eyes. Will is laughing and what I find interesting is Chris saying that was funny.
Forget for a moment the platform and influence Will has. His own SON tweeted “And that’s how we do it” right after the incident. It was so sad. 😔
Not son, the daughter!
Seriously?! And just think that's his children watching what about all the children around the world that saw Will's disturbance action!!
Which one of his son would say something so 👿?😢😢😢
What if will would have slapped his wife that way when she was cheating on him with other men would his Son still tweet "that's how we do it" ?
Jaden may be letting us know something about what goes on in their private family life.
You walk on stage. You smack someone at a live event. You go to your seat. Shout obscenities. You STILL get an award. You give "teary" speech and don't apologize to the person you assaulted. And there's still no consequences? Instead you still get a standing ovation.
I think that says a lot about it says a lot about us as a society and how messed up Hollywood is. That if you make a good enough album or movie, we are willing to suspend reality and not do anything about what you (celebrities, politicians, preachers etc.) do because of how your talent or product of your talent makes us feel.
No one is above a joke, especially not a mild one. Jokes humanize us.
We are blinded by how GIFTED these people are and we over look their crap.
If Jada so insecure about her hair, do what I and millions of women do. We wear a wig…ijs. He was laughing until she gave that evil look.
@@doubled5927 Exactly! It's not like she hasn't in the past. All of her hair didn't fall out, she chose to cut it all off and everyone doesn't or didn't know of her alopecia diagnosis.she has worn beautiful wigs in the lasting several of her celebrity friends.
@@readytobenaturallyme3580 she only has a small patch of alopecia on top of her head. She has hair growth all over her head and besides she looks good wearing her hair short. She is just milking the alopecia for what it's worth. Her and Will are both narcissists with big egos.
@@readytobenaturallyme3580 Chris honed in on her hair which is in itself a national publicized slap in her face because even is some people didn't know, they do now! He linked it for the world and without her permission. No one is ok with loosing their hair and being the butt end of a joke at a work event in front of the world isn't funny. It took many to grasp was was being said but when the dots connected, Will wasn't happy...clearly. Chris was the antecedent to Wills slap. Both should have been escorted out of the building with an investigation. The behaviors were not acceptable. Will should not have received an award; he shouldn't have been in the building. A lot of changes need to be made by the Oscar's and policies on bullying and violence at these events should include immediate removal and subsequent consequences.
Ex eedingly well said Stone.
Protecting Jada from what?!! When Demi did GI JANE , EVERYBODY praised her for her bravery in actually shaving her head! And the shaved head for that character was not about shame it was symbolic of strength! So how exactly is being compared to a strong female character disrespectful? Make it make sense. This is Will believing he can just do whatever he wants.
Agreed. Now somebody put Jada in G.I. Jane 2 please. Chris was just birthing a blessing into fruition. See, look at Black cinematic Jesus, lol.
But it look like, Will don't want to produce the Demi Moore sequel with his wife starring in it, lol. But he cool with, "entanglements.."
Ain't nobody ashamed of Will or Jada. Multi- millionaire problems. Cute as hell. Kids cute as hell. Boi bye. Employable kids. Bankable kids. Who's mad?
Mr. Smith better take a page out of the script of the character for which he won an Oscar and continue to make his children great.
I really hope as a family the Smiths stop putting every aspect of their lives on social media. That also added to the disrespect Will may have felt mounting up in his life before hitting Chris .
Hollyweird family and the masses look up to these people???
