Of all the media i watch i was eagerly anticipating Dr. Richey's take! I was not disappointed! clear, concise, and a multilayered approach is why i watch! TY
Dr. Richey you are correct. No matter what Chris Rock is the victim and Will Smith is completely wrong. That's not how you handle things. Violence is not the answer.
Oh please, violence may not be the answer, but Violence is the American way. When one is born and grows up in America you get ingrained in this violent culture and all that around you gets embedded in one’s psyche. Look at the disgruntled people who shoot up the workplace because they got fired or bullied at work, Look at kids who learned from the adults and shoot up the school for being bullied or some other disgruntled reason. Americans, people who love and cheer at the hardest hits in football, people who love to see & cheer on MMA fights and watch a man get pummeled in the head even after he is down and out, people who bashed Mayweather for not being more brutal in his fights wanting to see blood and more damage, people who love movies and TV shows packed with violence, (majority of American movies and TV shows are about killing or someone hitting, beating someone else up), people who had NO problem with Tommy Lee and Kid Rock fighting at an award show over Pamela Anderson and said what he did was right, people who tell their kids the way to stop a bully is to fight him, people who loved the fights on the Jerry Springer show & those Housewives reality shows and all these other reality shows, people who love to see a white person get popped in the mouth for using the N word, people who have NO problem with cops killing unarmed black and brown people, people who have organizations dedicated to the hatred and violent acts of destruction against other races and religions, people who love to go to other countries and start wars over so called democracy, these are just a minuscule list that immediately comes to mind, however the list goes on & on & on. People on social media need to stop with the hypocrisy and self righteousness indignation of this one little act between these two men. Everyone is acting like it is the end of the world because a man slapped another man on TV. What they should be concerned with is if the allied nations try to stop Putin, nukes may be deployed and if they don’t stop him, he will continue to the next country and nukes will be deployed.
I was saying the same thing. Will showed his insecurities and most of all, his false sense of self. When you go pleasing people and want all to see you are flawless, the real you will come out. I'm kind of tired of them. They need to go sit down and be invisible for awhile.
If course he kept his cool,that's what happens when you reherse it,and if Will was really defending his wife's honor etc....The phantom slap would have not been held back and buddy would have hit the floor...Then he would figure out that,he shouldnt tell stupid jokes about the wife of someone that already dislikes me anyway.If you need some more material on how these specialty One-off shows work to make sure they trend for days...Just research EVERY Super-Bowl from the Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake wardrobe malfunction incident,where he clearly gets his hand to a specific place then tears off a supposedly Pro made dress.Any Oscar's show, Grammys,NYE etc etc ... something occurs to keep it relavent as long as possible.
I agree with most of your comment except the latter of it. Will Smith is the epitome of not taking himself way too seriously in the name of humor and having fun. Obviously, this hit different do to his wife having to be used as a joke bc of a condition out of her control.
Dr. Richey is on point. He would not have done that to Steve Harvey or Chappelle. That's not a man defending his wife, that was bully. 6 inches taller, 60lbs heavier.
I totally agree with you Dr. Richey. Adults don’t respond to words with physical violence. Will Smith should have been ushered out. Chris Rock handled the assault well. Somebody said if Mike Tyson had been Chris Rock what would have happened?
Actually we do as far as we can remember smh. Black ppl got hung for words. Kings killed ppl talking back n disrespect he's the ruler. Hell even God got stoned for his words so the book says nobody really knows. A smack is just a damn smack n he only caught the 4 fingers didn't even connect like ppl think yea ill give u a time n place for it. But Chris didn't file charges n I think at the moment I think Chris got aware of the why but still kinda n shock. Yea will would smack them im tired of ppl saying will wouldn't smack this person n that person yes he would've tf. It just would've been a fight but absolutely he would've smack Harvey or someone based on Jada n her shit. Yall mean to say if he'd slap one of them it's a fight. Another man got smacked oh lord welcome to the damn real world Hollywood n ppl here are humans and not perfect so shit happen shut up move on if he ain't file charges or suing then talk about it n move on it ain't that serious to us frfr only to the parties involved. Yall wanna blow this shit up for your ratings n shit nun more man got smacked not the 1st not the last worse shit happens on t.v smh. Will goin thru shit he had a moment of weakness based off a feeling from his wife i wish I would tell that man he wrong. Ppl do shit for the man n woman in their relationship all the time that's overboard. How many men got smacked by a female bc her feelings got hurt In public? Mo matter the size event famous or common ppl this shit here is just ehhh at best good talk for a day or 2 then that's it. Bad joke bad handling of situation by will but he handled it regardless and at the end of the day what we say what other famous ppl say doesn't mean a thing when it comes to a man n his wife period. It is what it is but ain't no damn body traumatized Wanda Sikes and nobody sickened Steve Harvey Jim carry just u Hollywood ppl who 4got we all just imperfect humans with emotions. Nobody is allowed to tell someone else how they should handle anything he did what he did that's that Chris already getting paid literally right after it anyways 40 to 400 a ticket foh. Hollywood got yall whipped
You don't have to go as far as Mike Tyson. Had that been a man of equal build and weight it most likely would not have happened. Had it been a WHITE MAN it most definitely would not have happen. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Will is paid 20 million per movie and is a valuable commodity who makes others very wealthy on the industry. DiCaprio, Clooney, Pitt, would not had such an insult directed at their spouse die to fear and respect.
As a white woman. I never saw any thing racial. I thought immediately that it was horrifying. Period. And sad. And a sense of entitlement. I didn't even think the joke was that bad. It had nothing to do with jada. I agree it had to do with himself. And at his age. He should know better. No matter what happened when he was 9. I do feel sorry for will Smith. Because obviously he has never gotten the help he needed.
In my opinion, Will Smith is dead wrong for putting his hands on another African American on live TV. He should have waited until they were in private to check Chris.🤔🤬😡
The comment Chris Rock made was a complement in original movie Demi Moore looked exquisite in G.I Jane . Jada Smith looked exquisite at the Oscars , had no idea about her hair problem, maybe Chris did not, the thing is Jada looked good. Thing I could not understand how or why someone would come on TV and talk about her entanglement with her husband Will Smith to the whole world, she was not upset then.
Yes! Suggesting that Jada was starring in GI Jane II at 50 years old was a compliment. Jada has been in other movies with a shaved head, she's beautiful (visually, not spiritually). I did not know she has alopecia, neither did Chris.
Will and Jada put everything in public so why get upset at this....the joke wasn't an insult that movie was about a strong woman. Chris is a comedian and if Jada was so sensitive then don't go to a place where you know comedians are going to be on stage. Will wasn't upset at that joke, Will has been so emasculated by this woman and he is probably upset with her for making him into a joke that he has misplaced anger and took it out of Chris.....
Absolutely correct! Conversely, no woman who suffers from a hair loss disease should not be the "butt" of a comedian's joke about her hair. Chris Rock " rocked the boat" in 2016 when he made disparaging comments about both Will and Jada, as well as another famous singer. A man's family should be off limits to comedians, free speech notwithstanding. Many of these same people( Men in particular) who feign outrage at what Will did are the same men who would not think twice about slapping their wife, girlfriend, sister, aunt, or mother. Hypocrisy much? Chris verbally "slapped" Jada, and Will physically slapped Chris. Both were wrong...
SmoothK Here! In all actuality, Dr. Richey, what Will Smith did was embarrassing to me as a Black man. It is crap like this, that gives certain people ammo to say "see I told you about them." We have to start showing each other more respect and love. We have to stop shooting, robbing and murdering and slapping each other. I don't want to keep giving those people one bit of ammo. I'm just sayin'.
Like Jim Carey said, "in this moment Will was only thinking about himself." This could have been handled so much better. Just embarrassing for everyone.
I’m embarrassed that we live in such a soft society, that a slap is offensive! we are a sad nation. We would be easily taken over. I hate MAGA and all the gun toting false patriots, but they are right that there are a bunch of pussies running around…. I am a Kentucky boy who is a democrat and voted for Biden and this is COMEDY! No racism. All for BLM ✊🏿 ✊🏾 ✊🏽
& WEAK,, when it comes 2-Being a REAL MAN!! INEXCUSABLE!!! Imagine if Chris DUCKED?,, & KNOCKED Wills Ass-OUT??! Will Busted an angloid-Lil-boyz Move. SLAP!! just like a Bitch,, 2-BitchSlap. :-( :-(
@Nighty-Nightful... totally agree. Last sunday night should have been every nominated actors greatest moment at the Oscars. Instead will smith took the greastest moment of his life to reveal to the entire world exactly how small he truly was. . So small in fact, I can't even put his name in capital letters.
Did ya all miss the part where will smith was laughing at the joke Chris Rock said about jada being GI Jane....??? Yeah, Will was fully, openly laughing. Until his wife gave him the look. Every husband knows the look... He got his ass outta the chair & smacked a person! On live on TV! His 23 year old son later stated:That how we handle things.... Jada has talked about shaving her head. She appears to wear a shaved head proudly, why is she now acting all insulted? Please.
Good thing Will never got slapped during his years of offensive jokes. Don't preach peace and love when you have none to give. Will, you're a bully and you have issues.
All I can say to Chris Rock is; “turning the other cheek,” is not always meaning getting a second blow to the face; “turning the other cheek” with humility and grace gives grace grains honor. “Turning the other cheek,” in that case, resulted in increased sales at Rock’s standup. Go placidly my dear brothers.’
They shouldn't have gone if their going to be sensitive. He's a comedian, they sat up front. Don't sit in the line of fire if you don't want shot. Will has never behaved in that manner about joking. Will is a comedian. Can't wait till he offends someone. Hope he gets knocked out.
What I can't understand black women instead of how about black men don't stand up for the crazy ass but they're on a man stand up for one of the hell about the man with wrongful standing up y'all set your ass down worry about them white boys snatching your ass off in the woods and treating your life they didn't slavery
Why is Jada supposed to have her feelings insulated from being hurt? Who said it was illegal to crack a joke about Jada? I could care less about coddling these spoiled movie stars. Cry me a river about her alopecia, I'm not losing any sleep over it. Will needs to seek therapy.
@Uriel Level up Riley ...First off Chris Rock was caught off guard. If "will smith" had slapped Chris Rock in that press room, Chris Rock would still be STOMPIN will smith into the floor like a RIVET. At least that's what I would have done, plus if you look at the slap up close Chris Rock actually balls up his fist ready to smack "will" back, but when "will" turns around and walks away Chris quickly relented . Anyhow Chris Rock probably figured "will smith" was gonna whisper something in his ear like: "lay off jada, that hoe is about to lose her mind over that BALD head of hers". Chris Rock had no idea that NIT WIT decided to end his acting career that night at the Oscars. What film director or producer in their right mind would include "will smith" in their film budget and/or cast his punk- azz into a movie nobody on the planet wants to see??
@Uriel Level up Riley.......The optics of what happened were bad enough, now imagine for a moment if Chris Rock had decked will smith to the floor. Now we have 2 Black men rollin around on that nasy-azz floor at the Oscar's with Cameras still rolling ugh! Front page News: " 2 well known black celebrities melt- down into hoody hood like mentality at the Oscar's" The story-line: well known actor will smith and celebrated comedian Chris Rock get into scuffle showing their AZZ fighting and wrestling down on the floor at the Oscars, because of the narcis- sistic re-action of a BALD headed hoe. Yes that would have been far worst. The devil was in the room, but luckily Chris Rock took the high road. "will smith" stock DROPPED, and hit ROCK bottom (no pun intended) after the famous slap. Chris Rock stock on the other hand shot through the ROOF.
Not necessarily in disagreement but it’s worth knowing that Chris rock created a documentary about Women’s hair and even featured black women with alopecia.
So what if she has alopecia? It's not fatal and she can afford the best wigs if she feels that badly. She is lucky she can rock that look. Will Smith's behaviour was unacceptable. They are adults and celebrities. They should be used to people talking about them. As a long-married couple, they should be able to handle each other and prevent each other from doing stupid things. She failed him. They are lucky Chris Rock decided not to press charges.
I agree 100%, because I think Chris should have pressed charges and then sued for damages. That's Chris's livelihood. His brand could be considered damaged. Who knows if he will get other hosting events. A nice 10 million dollar Civil suit would fix that I'm sure. If I was on the jury. Chris wins. Maybe Will is a much better actor than we all knew. He showed his real self and it's all Jackass!
I teach in middle school - this was exactly the situation we spend WAY TOO MUCH TIME teaching kids - not to respond to insults! Now, unfortunately, they have a new role model. Thank you, Mr. Smith. The real hero is Chris Rock, but he won't get the credit.
You call that little touch a slap. If it was a slap Wills finger prints would be pronounced on his face. I dont even think that he was slapped, He did not even feel his jaw. Now Will be able to distinguished his enemies and those who were envious of his successes
I like Will, but he was wrong!!! Now instead of us talking about Will winning the Oscar, we’re talking him slapping Chris Rock!!! If it bothered him that much, then Will should have handled that like a man & not a jackass!!!
Amen so damn true if his family can't take a joke then don't fucking go or watch a comedy show .. It was just a damn JOKE chris didn't mean nothing by it.
@@JOHNNYCHICAGO8 It wasn't a comedy show though. It was an Awards ceremony for a prestigious award. Will Smith and his family shouldn't have to sit through comedic insults to his family to participate. He had so many better options than committing assault and battery on a fellow SAG member though. He owes society and the Academy for that.
Dr. Richey, you are such a real one and the king of clear cut, common sense. Will Smith, gets no pass from me. He played himself in that moment. Instead of violating the entire Oscar event with his fake pompous behavior, he should’ve met Chris with a waist pinch backstage.
My heart broke to see a Black man attack another Black man. Not everyone is paying attention to Jada to know about her lack of hair! If you and your husband can announce to the world that you have an open marriage then I would think you have thick skin!!
Even if Chris knew Jada had alopecia, it still was not something that warranted a physical response. Will knew, and he initially laughed until he saw Jada's annoyance.
I have great respect for the way Chris Rock handled himself. He showed restraint..class and rolled on with the show like a pro. Can't wait for the new jokes😊
Thank you Dr. Richey! It's absolutely crazy how so many people are justifying Will Smith's erroneous reaction to words. The audience giving Will Smith a standing ovation after literally watching assault by Will Smith. Anyone else would be at least removed from the event and at most, arrested for assault.
When someone shows you who they are believe them. Will smith got up out of his seat, walked up some stairs, walked down a runway, sucker “punched” a smaller person whose hands were behind his back and strutted back to his seat with a smug smirk on his face. That was the real person. Everything else is his public persona.
I can't look at Will Smith the same way. That was a punk move. 52% of people approving Will Smith's actions. God I hate it here. People in this country have become garbage.
Jada didn't need protecting. Chris wasn't assaulting Jada. Will didn't assault Chris because of the joke. He laughed at first. That much anger indicates that something more is going on with Will. That benign joke was not malicious and no words warrant that barbaric behavior. Security should not have let Will on that stage. No one protected Chris from being assaulted and the Academy allowed Will to stay in the building. Disgusting.
He Allowed his wife 2 "MAN-ipulate" him into Busting a man- BITCH move! 1-that Could've Easily resulted in Jail,,& Or Lawsuit-$$$. EMOTIONS LACK LOGIC&COMMON SENSE. Jada's Look?? Motivated her man 2-SHOW his ASS in front of All his Stargazed counterparts!! good woman,,,? NAUGHT!! :-(
Even if he knew, still doesn't justify him responding with the violence. Alopecia is not a cancer diagnosis. My sister has it jokes about herself. Child Please. Chris Rock, rocks.
...some of you appear to be so naive....its so common for many ppl to joke about their faults, shortcomings, illnesses, etc, however its a huge difference when someone else is doing it on a large stage....and you have no clue of this? WOW!
Chris is repeatedly being let down by so many. Imagine how he felt after the physical and verbal assault including mental pain after Hollywood elites and millions around the world saw and then applaud Will. It was disgusting and appalling. What about the children watching and hearing the vulgarity coming out of his mouth. Thanks Jada for ruining your man. "that's the way you do it" 🤷and damn you sure did it
@@beautifulqueen2579 Will just fed the already going racist conversation that more black men kill and beat black men more than cops do. You should be pissed that a black man beat another black man on national TV over a joke. That's not going to help people take seriously, as they should, police killing and harassing, beating and tazeing black people.
@@carmenbell77 That "Entanglement" song made fun of him. There are so many men that would've beaten August's ass for that. His wife is trash. He should've left and found someone else.
But when you're knowingly being hateful, disrespectful and demeaning, that's a 'whole' nother level of evil and some white folk are good for being such and gonna get that azz tapped. Period
They were both wrong, why is it ok to make fun of people or make fun of their appearance? Violence and words both hurt. Anyone ever thought about all the people that suffer from Alopecia and how hard that must be to lose hair and get stared at and talked about because you look different? Violence and tearing down people is way too normalize. Everyone is so so judgmental and ready to bring each other down it’s sic🥴
Just another day of black-on black-crime in the hood. But they are rich and powerful so nothing will happen to them, looks like. Here's one for you. The perp should check himself into an anger management course, but no matter, as the whole thing was staged anyway.
@@daviscd6837 They didn’t internationally humiliate him, Will Smith did. I know I would take him for everything I could get because the video of what happened will live for the remainder of his career.
@@majorwalker5239 Thank you. Chris Rock seems to have something in for Jada, maybe he's unaware of it, but comedians usually know exactly what they are doing. And as such would be private, we don't know whether or not anything has been discussed privately between them. Chris kept poking the lion, publicly, and finally got scratched, publicly. Both wrong, but one really worked for a reaction. As to whether he knew why he got *that* reaction, I have known a lot of folks who were extremely verbally abusive and blissfully unaware of how unlikable that was; others used to "laugh" and move away; never saw any of them slapped, just alone, ignored.
I'm not sure who these people polled, but from what I have seen and read on the internet, the vast majority of Americans are very upset with Will Smith.
Ma'am with all due respect, how could Will Smith be the only one wrong when the first slap was a verbal slap that hit the entire Smith family in attendance? Then the second slap was thrown by Will Smith's right hand. I guess I you are using the the standards used by sports referees who always penalize the second violator.
Will is wrong. There have been many other situations in his marriage that were smack worthy. He didn't do so then. Jada always kept short haircut. So who cares. She should have been able to take a joke as well. It's hard to tell when she's offended. She maintained the same cold affect as she always presents. But again. Who cares. That's for Will to deal with his ice queen. His business. She should also exercise keeping their personal business private instead of using it to grab a coin.
Not surprising that more than half of the US is okay with the slap. the simple fact of the matter is that Chris Rock did not do anything illegal, but Will Smith cannot stand on that same ground. If you want to debate Chris Rock's joke, that is one thing, but as far as Will Smith's actions, that is a crime and there is no debate about that.
Your wrong, there was no calculation. You ever see a crazy person laugh or chuckle before they do some crazy shit. That was Will, he laughed right before he did some crazy shit. Why is he crazy or mentally unstable? Cause the woman he has loved for decades doesn't think he measures up, Will is not her style. 2pac is her style, August Alsina is her style. Will is the safe bet. Not hood, not a thug, Will is safety.
He did that because he has been trying to live up to Tupac's shadow and August, when Jada does not need to be in the Press red table talk that puts shame on her husband.
Will Smith has 4 inches and 40 lbs on Chris Rock. He wouldn't have stepped on that stage if Chris Rock had 4 inches and 40 pounds on Will Smith. Will Smith was grinning as he walked off stage and then went over and cried to Denzel. What a fake ass joke he is. How you gonna laugh at the joke and one minute later fake act so offended? I got nothing but respect for Chris Rock. Will can get lost!
Thank you dr. Richard I said the same thing I thought that that could have been handled a different way but as far as the Oscars go I am strong enough to know all that is nothing but a bunch phony PPL you are so right could have then something addressed after the show I can let them to my wife people thought but I do know they were going to drag that down in the dirt like always
The two parties involved are settling it behind closed doors, as they should. Why are all these ally lawyers trying to turn it into a messy war. No one was viciously attacked . Will Smith after seeing his wife visibly shaken by this blatant insult of her medical condition, calmly got up out of his seat, walked to the stage in plain sight, and slapped the man who insulted his wife, and mother of his children. Then he calmly walked back and sat down. Then Chris Rock realized his error and took it like a man, and calmly said; "Will Smith just slapped the piss out of me." Then he finished his speech. Then Will Smith told him why he slapped him stating; "Keep my wife's name out of your mouth." Then later accepted his Oscar. Opportunist want to make it messy so they can turn it into a financial opportunity. The Oscar's though a very uncomfortable PR moment, should be happy about the enormous spike in ratings and the fact this caused this year's OSCAR'S to go viral on all local and international social and media outlets. So let us go on to more important issues like World War 🌎 3 in Europe and Russia. Also the high prices of fuel and a pending food shortage.
@@robertadams1443 yup, show Chris da money! Chris ain't stupid. He literally voices a zebra. He gonna make bank and invest in insurance. Probably own Allstate or Geico next year. Fact is he gonna get paid!
Will was totally in the wrong point blank period and as a woman a real woman I would have stopped my husband because that was his moment not hers I'm Rasheeda
Has anyone seen the freaking movie?! GI Jane was a strong bad ass Elite soldier who actually shaved her own head, she was a hero ended up and winning against all odds...THIS WAS NOT AN INSULT, SEE THE FREAKING MOVIE ANGRY PEOPLE!
That's how I looked at it as well. G.I. Jane was a movie about a strong woman who becomes the first female SEAL commando. She was bad ass and her character was positive. How does that translate into a crack about alopecia is beyond me if Rock didn't know the situation.
They need to do something about these officers that's literally killing people every single day and they want to act concerned about a slap from Will Smith at the Oscar's.
She's not a strong confident woman. That's the thing. She's an ambitious, insecure, egotistical, self deluded below average performer who thinks she's on a mission for who the hell knows what. She's been riding WS's coattails for twenty years. Otherwise, she'd be a footnote in the entertainment industry. She's just not that impressive. Or as impressive as she thinks she is.
Will Smith at this point is completely broken and Jada is pulling all the strings. She broke down his masculinity on television during a talk about why she cheated on him. Her excuse was: “If he loved me enough, he would’ve known”. I think that Will Smith whole heartedly did not care about the joke Chris Rock made at the Oscars, but Jada looks over at Will once the camera pans away, as if to say: “If you dont stand up for me, this is why I cheated.” Keep toxic women out of your life because it can turn nice dudes into monsters…
She goes on her "Red Table" talk show and reveals her dissatisfaction with Will's lovemaking prowess and he slaps Chris for making a joke?? Will's frustration with his wife's big mouth led to that embarrassing situation. I'd be heading to divorce court if I were him.
Chris stood up as a man, took it & continued with his presentation. He did [his] JOB! What "Will" should now be afraid of is that Chris Rock has the option 2 file a huge monetary lawsuit, not only on him, but against The Oscar Organization & their security personnel. Chris now has 2 live with that type of humiliation 4 the rest of his life. All bcuz of a simple G.I.Jane 2 joke. I wonder if "Mike Tyson" told that same exact joke...would he have comfortably walked 🚶🏾♂️ up there & slapped "Mike Tyson" 🤔
I'm so over Americans holding celebrities to a higher account, rather than holding politicians to the same account. Will Smith just had a human folly. We've all been there.
"We've ALL been there???" Not those of us whose parents were not siblings. Not those of us who who don't eat with our feet. Not those of us who don't have the IQ of a stick figure. But carry on

Chris rock was all the way wrong on this how cant you make a joke about something personal to the whole world Chris rock knew Jada's situation and still look to disrespect her and him like it was cool to do that. He stood up for his wife as he should and Chris rock is lucky it was just a slap and not a knockout punch.
Chris rock was not a professional when you got personal in his jokes . And he knew he cross the line because if he didn't there would have been a straight up throwing of hand on that stage facts.
Manhood includes impulse control! Thank you Dr. Thank you. Because a REAL man AND women can take a joke. And that joke was a compliment if you really think about it. Oh please people just grow up and follow the shinning, stellar, spectacular, literally sensational example of TRUE manhood. Thank you Mr Rock for being a gentleman.
Of all the media i watch i was eagerly anticipating Dr. Richey's take! I was not disappointed! clear, concise, and a multilayered approach is why i watch! TY
I was the same. I'm in Scotland and of all the world media I was waiting for this.
Me too the doc makes sense

Love Dr Richey
I am proud of Chris Rock for having self control. He kept his ego in check. This world didn't need to witness two Black men fighting on that stage.
I agree with you 💯
Well said!👍
If you slap someone everytime your wife rolls her eyes. You won't be alive long
People forget Will started out doing jokes about people too.
Dr. Richey you are correct. No matter what Chris Rock is the victim and Will Smith is completely wrong. That's not how you handle things. Violence is not the answer.
Oh please, violence may not be the answer, but Violence is the American way. When one is born and grows up in America you get ingrained in this violent culture and all that around you gets embedded in one’s psyche. Look at the disgruntled people who shoot up the workplace because they got fired or bullied at work, Look at kids who learned from the adults and shoot up the school for being bullied or some other disgruntled reason.
Americans, people who love and cheer at the hardest hits in football, people who love to see & cheer on MMA fights and watch a man get pummeled in the head even after he is down and out, people who bashed Mayweather for not being more brutal in his fights wanting to see blood and more damage, people who love movies and TV shows packed with violence, (majority of American movies and TV shows are about killing or someone hitting, beating someone else up),
people who had NO problem with Tommy Lee and Kid Rock fighting at an award show over Pamela Anderson and said what he did was right,
people who tell their kids the way to stop a bully is to fight him, people who loved the fights on the Jerry Springer show & those Housewives reality shows and all these other reality shows, people who love to see a white person get popped in the mouth for using the N word,
people who have NO problem with cops killing unarmed black and brown people, people who have organizations dedicated to the hatred and violent acts of destruction against other races and religions, people who love to go to other countries and start wars over so called democracy, these are just a minuscule list that immediately comes to mind, however the list goes on & on & on.
People on social media need to stop with the hypocrisy and self righteousness indignation of this one little act between these two men. Everyone is acting like it is the end of the world because a man slapped another man on TV. What they should be concerned with is if the allied nations try to stop Putin, nukes may be deployed and if they don’t stop him, he will continue to the next country and nukes will be deployed.
Chris Roc started it and he is the victim? You must be joking. Will only touched his cheeks that was not even a slap. I did not even hear a sound.
As a Black Man we for sure don’t need anymore negative stereotyping of Black Men!
I was saying the same thing. Will showed his insecurities and most of all, his false sense of self. When you go pleasing people and want all to see you are flawless, the real you will come out. I'm kind of tired of them. They need to go sit down and be invisible for awhile.
Yes, Dr. Richey!!! Yes, you're so right! I was waiting for you to chime in.
Will Smith was WRONG, period.
I was impressed by Chris Rock keeping his cool after taking that blow. Of course unlike Will Smith he doesn't take himself too seriously.
👏🏻
No surprise Will Smith didn't help Aunt Viv get a pay bump. He is self absorbed.
He slapped him like a bish
If course he kept his cool,that's what happens when you reherse it,and if Will was really defending his wife's honor etc....The phantom slap would have not been held back and buddy would have hit the floor...Then he would figure out that,he shouldnt tell stupid jokes about the wife of someone that already dislikes me anyway.If you need some more material on how these specialty One-off shows work to make sure they trend for days...Just research EVERY Super-Bowl from the Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake wardrobe malfunction incident,where he clearly gets his hand to a specific place then tears off a supposedly Pro made dress.Any Oscar's show, Grammys,NYE etc etc ... something occurs to keep it relavent as long as possible.
I agree with most of your comment except the latter of it. Will Smith is the epitome of not taking himself way too seriously in the name of humor and having fun. Obviously, this hit different do to his wife having to be used as a joke bc of a condition out of her control.
Dr. Richey is on point. He would not have done that to Steve Harvey or Chappelle. That's not a man defending his wife, that was bully. 6 inches taller, 60lbs heavier.
I totally agree with you Dr. Richey. Adults don’t respond to words with physical violence. Will Smith should have been ushered out. Chris Rock handled the assault well. Somebody said if Mike Tyson had been Chris Rock what would have happened?
AMEN to that!🙌
Actually we do as far as we can remember smh. Black ppl got hung for words. Kings killed ppl talking back n disrespect he's the ruler. Hell even God got stoned for his words so the book says nobody really knows. A smack is just a damn smack n he only caught the 4 fingers didn't even connect like ppl think yea ill give u a time n place for it. But Chris didn't file charges n I think at the moment I think Chris got aware of the why but still kinda n shock. Yea will would smack them im tired of ppl saying will wouldn't smack this person n that person yes he would've tf. It just would've been a fight but absolutely he would've smack Harvey or someone based on Jada n her shit. Yall mean to say if he'd slap one of them it's a fight. Another man got smacked oh lord welcome to the damn real world Hollywood n ppl here are humans and not perfect so shit happen shut up move on if he ain't file charges or suing then talk about it n move on it ain't that serious to us frfr only to the parties involved. Yall wanna blow this shit up for your ratings n shit nun more man got smacked not the 1st not the last worse shit happens on t.v smh. Will goin thru shit he had a moment of weakness based off a feeling from his wife i wish I would tell that man he wrong. Ppl do shit for the man n woman in their relationship all the time that's overboard. How many men got smacked by a female bc her feelings got hurt In public? Mo matter the size event famous or common ppl this shit here is just ehhh at best good talk for a day or 2 then that's it. Bad joke bad handling of situation by will but he handled it regardless and at the end of the day what we say what other famous ppl say doesn't mean a thing when it comes to a man n his wife period. It is what it is but ain't no damn body traumatized Wanda Sikes and nobody sickened Steve Harvey Jim carry just u Hollywood ppl who 4got we all just imperfect humans with emotions. Nobody is allowed to tell someone else how they should handle anything he did what he did that's that Chris already getting paid literally right after it anyways 40 to 400 a ticket foh. Hollywood got yall whipped
You don't have to go as far as Mike Tyson. Had that been a man of equal build and weight it most likely would not have happened. Had it been a WHITE MAN it most definitely would not have happen.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Xmarkyaspot_ent
What in the heck is all this NONSENSE you wrote.
Will is paid 20 million per movie and is a valuable commodity who makes others very wealthy on the industry. DiCaprio, Clooney, Pitt, would not had such an insult directed at their spouse die to fear and respect.
Smith should have IMMEDIATELY been put in handcuffs and thrown out sent right to JAIL!!! I'd be suing the SOB for all he's worth!
Not my words: _"We can't condone violence between us and then condemn violence against us"._
bald headed witchh
As a white woman. I never saw any thing racial. I thought immediately that it was horrifying. Period. And sad. And a sense of entitlement. I didn't even think the joke was that bad. It had nothing to do with jada. I agree it had to do with himself. And at his age. He should know better. No matter what happened when he was 9. I do feel sorry for will Smith. Because obviously he has never gotten the help he needed.
My lovely wife pointed out that this was SOLELY Jada's responsibility and choice to address. Will took her voice away.
I believe she could've handled that without Will. Heckling is the tool she could've used and everyone would've had a good night.
Jada definitely played a big roll in this scenario. But everyone is scared to mention that part. Why?
By the country being split on this issue shows the terrible place as a nation we are in!
Facts!!
In my opinion, Will Smith is dead wrong for putting his hands on another African American on live TV.
He should have waited until they were in private to check Chris.🤔🤬😡
The comment Chris Rock made was a complement in original movie Demi Moore looked exquisite in G.I Jane . Jada Smith looked exquisite at the Oscars , had no idea about her hair problem, maybe Chris did not, the thing is Jada looked good. Thing I could not understand how or why someone would come on TV and talk about her entanglement with her husband Will Smith to the whole world, she was not upset then.
Yes! Suggesting that Jada was starring in GI Jane II at 50 years old was a compliment. Jada has been in other movies with a shaved head, she's beautiful (visually, not spiritually). I did not know she has alopecia, neither did Chris.
If Terry Crew would have told the joke, Will would have never left his seat.
Terry Crew let a man grab his junk. AND did absolutely nothing
Exactly 💯 💯
Will and Jada put everything in public so why get upset at this....the joke wasn't an insult that movie was about a strong woman. Chris is a comedian and if Jada was so sensitive then don't go to a place where you know comedians are going to be on stage. Will wasn't upset at that joke, Will has been so emasculated by this woman and he is probably upset with her for making him into a joke that he has misplaced anger and took it out of Chris.....
Maybe 🤔 Will should have STOOD up when his WIFE talked about their PERSONAL business on her talk show🤨
No human being was put on this earth to be slapped by another human being.
Absolutely correct! Conversely, no woman who suffers from a hair loss disease should not be the "butt" of a comedian's joke about her hair. Chris Rock " rocked the boat" in 2016 when he made disparaging comments about both Will and Jada, as well as another famous singer. A man's family should be off limits to comedians, free speech notwithstanding. Many of these same people( Men in particular) who feign outrage at what Will did are the same men who would not think twice about slapping their wife, girlfriend, sister, aunt, or mother. Hypocrisy much? Chris verbally "slapped" Jada, and Will physically slapped Chris. Both were wrong...
SmoothK Here! In all actuality, Dr. Richey, what Will Smith did was embarrassing to me as a Black man. It is crap like this, that gives certain people ammo to say "see I told you about them." We have to start showing each other more respect and love. We have to stop shooting, robbing and murdering and slapping each other. I don't want to keep giving those people one bit of ammo. I'm just sayin'.
Like Jim Carey said, "in this moment Will was only thinking about himself." This could have been handled so much better. Just embarrassing for everyone.
I’m embarrassed that we live in such a soft society, that a slap is offensive! we are a sad nation. We would be easily taken over. I hate MAGA and all the gun toting false patriots, but they are right that there are a bunch of pussies running around…. I am a Kentucky boy who is a democrat and voted for Biden and this is COMEDY! No racism. All for BLM ✊🏿 ✊🏾 ✊🏽

You are absolutely right.
@Nighty-Nightful... totally agree. Last sunday night should have been every nominated actors greatest moment at the Oscars. Instead will smith took the greastest moment of his life to reveal to the entire world exactly how small he truly was. . So small in fact, I can't even put his name in capital letters.
@@donniematonnie9378 "EXACTAMONDO"!! I Salute Chu. :-)
I was a Will Smith fan. Now since I saw how Rock was so cool about it. I am a Chris Rock fan.
So on point. Will Smith acted to redeem himself with his wife. Jim Carey said it perfectly also, Hollywood has no spine!
Will need to seek professional help to see why he is a lap dog for pea head Jada.
His wife doesn't care about him. Will is broken down. Still doesn't excuse what he did
Smith could've easily shouted something like "Not cool bro, my wife has a medical condition/alopecia" and this would've ended much less toxic.
Did ya all miss the part where will smith was laughing at the joke Chris Rock said about jada being GI Jane....??? Yeah, Will was fully, openly laughing. Until his wife gave him the look. Every husband knows the look...
He got his ass outta the chair & smacked a person! On live on TV!
His 23 year old son later stated:That how we handle things....
Jada has talked about shaving her head. She appears to wear a shaved head proudly, why is she now acting all insulted?
Please.
Good thing Will never got slapped during his years of offensive jokes. Don't preach peace and love when you have none to give. Will, you're a bully and you have issues.
Hi - Will has decades behind him of doing good. He is not a bully. We are all fragile and have our own breaking points. He is deserving of compassion.
All I can say to Chris Rock is; “turning the other cheek,” is not always meaning getting a second blow to the face; “turning the other cheek” with humility and grace gives grace grains honor.
“Turning the other cheek,” in that case, resulted in increased sales at Rock’s standup.
Go placidly my dear brothers.’
I'm with Chris Rock.....he's a comedian! Jada has put her own business out.
True statement.
They shouldn't have gone if their going to be sensitive. He's a comedian, they sat up front. Don't sit in the line of fire if you don't want shot. Will has never behaved in that manner about joking. Will is a comedian. Can't wait till he offends someone. Hope he gets knocked out.
What I can't understand black women instead of how about black men don't stand up for the crazy ass but they're on a man stand up for one of the hell about the man with wrongful standing up y'all set your ass down worry about them white boys snatching your ass off in the woods and treating your life they didn't slavery
I’m with Chris Rock too, he didn’t even go for obvious things that she has done. It was a hair joke!
Man Dr. Rashad is a great human being. 👏 Thank you for holding Will to the same standards that you hold everyone else.
Why is Jada supposed to have her feelings insulated from being hurt? Who said it was illegal to crack a joke about Jada? I could care less about coddling these spoiled movie stars. Cry me a river about her alopecia, I'm not losing any sleep over it. Will needs to seek therapy.
If people reacted the way Chris Rock did the world would beat better place
@Uriel Level up Riley ...First off Chris Rock was caught off guard. If "will smith" had slapped Chris Rock in that press room, Chris Rock would still be STOMPIN will smith into the floor like a RIVET. At least that's what I would have done, plus if you look at the slap up close Chris Rock actually balls up his fist ready to smack "will" back, but when "will" turns around and walks away Chris quickly relented . Anyhow Chris Rock probably figured "will smith" was gonna whisper something in his ear like: "lay off jada, that hoe is about to lose her mind over that BALD head of hers". Chris Rock had no idea that NIT WIT decided to end his acting career that night at the Oscars. What film director or producer in their right mind would include "will smith" in their film budget and/or cast his punk- azz into a movie nobody on the planet wants to see??
@Uriel Level up Riley.......The optics of what happened were bad enough, now imagine for a moment if Chris Rock had decked will smith to the floor. Now we have 2 Black men rollin around on that nasy-azz floor at the Oscar's with Cameras still rolling ugh! Front page News: " 2 well known black celebrities melt- down into hoody hood like mentality at the Oscar's"
The story-line: well known actor will smith and celebrated comedian Chris Rock get into scuffle showing their AZZ fighting and wrestling down on the floor at the Oscars, because of the narcis- sistic re-action of a BALD headed hoe. Yes that would have been far worst. The devil was in the room, but luckily Chris Rock took the high road. "will smith" stock DROPPED, and hit ROCK bottom (no pun intended) after the famous slap. Chris Rock stock on the other hand shot through the ROOF.
You mean we need more insults?
Will Smith just showed his ass! Chris Rock is a phucking comedian at the end of the day!!
What's phucking ?
@@chaddingle513 you really can learn a lot from a DUMMY 😏...it rhymes with duck and you go along with it😏
Everyone else gets it ...but you Chris Cringle
Not necessarily in disagreement but it’s worth knowing that Chris rock created a documentary about Women’s hair and even featured black women with alopecia.
Wow Sis.. You are absolutely right. Great topic for conversation.
I don’t know what polls you’re using but I’ve been reading comments the entire week and the majority of the support is with Chris.
So what if she has alopecia? It's not fatal and she can afford the best wigs if she feels that badly. She is lucky she can rock that look. Will Smith's behaviour was unacceptable. They are adults and celebrities. They should be used to people talking about them. As a long-married couple, they should be able to handle each other and prevent each other from doing stupid things. She failed him. They are lucky Chris Rock decided not to press charges.
I agree 100%, because I think Chris should have pressed charges and then sued for damages. That's Chris's livelihood. His brand could be considered damaged. Who knows if he will get other hosting events. A nice 10 million dollar Civil suit would fix that I'm sure. If I was on the jury. Chris wins. Maybe Will is a much better actor than we all knew. He showed his real self and it's all Jackass!
Then will cried nonstop afterwards, something is seriously wrong
What happened at the academy award is what privilege looks like! Will Smith should have been escorted out!
Will Smith was wrong to hit Chris Rock
Will Smith was dead wrong.
Will was not just wrong he was damn wrong !
I teach in middle school - this was exactly the situation we spend WAY TOO MUCH TIME teaching kids - not to respond to insults! Now, unfortunately, they have a new role model. Thank you, Mr. Smith. The real hero is Chris Rock, but he won't get the credit.
, spot on!
They were supposed to been friends. I’m glad he didn’t knock his ass out. Now he can a Cool couple million from his slap happy ass.
Well Middle School is a huge age difference between him and your students. Never never never show violence when you're upset. You learn to use words.
Violence wasn't called for. It is only called for when you are physically attacked. I'm glad Dr. Richey sees it that way too.
You called that attack? Will should have given him the boots.
You call that little touch a slap. If it was a slap Wills finger prints would be pronounced on his face. I dont even think that he was slapped, He did not even feel his jaw.
Now Will be able to distinguished his enemies and those who were envious of his successes
You call that violence. A little touch on his cheek. If it was violence Chris Roc mouth would be toothless.
I like Will, but he was wrong!!! Now instead of us talking about Will winning the Oscar, we’re talking him slapping Chris Rock!!! If it bothered him that much, then Will should have handled that like a man & not a jackass!!!
Amen so damn true if his family can't take a joke then don't fucking go or watch a comedy show .. It was just a damn JOKE chris didn't mean nothing by it.
@@JOHNNYCHICAGO8 It wasn't a comedy show though. It was an Awards ceremony for a prestigious award. Will Smith and his family shouldn't have to sit through comedic insults to his family to participate. He had so many better options than committing assault and battery on a fellow SAG member though. He owes society and the Academy for that.
@@exhaustguy true no one should be to talked about. but at the same time will smith did something wrong to
@@JOHNNYCHICAGO8 Will Smith definitely did something far more egregious and beyond the pale.
Dr. Richey, you are such a real one and the king of clear cut, common sense. Will Smith, gets no pass from me. He played himself in that moment. Instead of violating the entire Oscar event with his fake pompous behavior, he should’ve met Chris with a waist pinch backstage.
That was Will Smith being a fool for his narcissistic witch of a wife.
My heart broke to see a Black man attack another Black man. Not everyone is paying attention to Jada to know about her lack of hair! If you and your husband can announce to the world that you have an open marriage then I would think you have thick skin!!
😲😲😲 Wil perpetuated the stereotype that Blackmen are violent. Shame on him. 😥
Even if Chris knew Jada had alopecia, it still was not something that warranted a physical response. Will knew, and he initially laughed until he saw Jada's annoyance.
It’s called “instigating”
I have great respect for the way Chris Rock handled himself. He showed restraint..class and rolled on with the show like a pro.
Can't wait for the new jokes😊
I agree 😉👍
Yep.
bald headed witchh
He went out like a bitch
Will Smith got what he deserves, he laughed at the joke, then went to the stage and slap Cris, he got 10 years to cool off that attitude 😎
Thank you Dr. Richey! It's absolutely crazy how so many people are justifying Will Smith's erroneous reaction to words. The audience giving Will Smith a standing ovation after literally watching assault by Will Smith. Anyone else would be at least removed from the event and at most, arrested for assault.
He took a stand but in the wrong way
Will Smith was wrong & his wife should have stopped him! Chris Rock handled the situation like a pro!
Will smith's marriage is open to EVERYTHING EXCEPT JOKE'S 🤪
When someone shows you who they are believe them. Will smith got up out of his seat, walked up some stairs, walked down a runway, sucker “punched” a smaller person whose hands were behind his back and strutted back to his seat with a smug smirk on his face. That was the real person. Everything else is his public persona.
U right
I can't look at Will Smith the same way. That was a punk move. 52% of people approving Will Smith's actions. God I hate it here. People in this country have become garbage.
🥂😏
Jada didn't need protecting. Chris wasn't assaulting Jada. Will didn't assault Chris because of the joke. He laughed at first. That much anger indicates that something more is going on with Will. That benign joke was not malicious and no words warrant that barbaric behavior. Security should not have let Will on that stage. No one protected Chris from being assaulted and the Academy allowed Will to stay in the building. Disgusting.
He Allowed his wife 2 "MAN-ipulate" him into Busting a man- BITCH move! 1-that Could've Easily resulted in Jail,,& Or Lawsuit-$$$. EMOTIONS LACK LOGIC&COMMON SENSE. Jada's Look?? Motivated her man 2-SHOW his ASS in front of All his Stargazed counterparts!! good woman,,,? NAUGHT!! :-(
Will was wrong!
Point blank
Even if he knew, still doesn't justify him responding with the violence. Alopecia is not a cancer diagnosis. My sister has it jokes about herself. Child Please. Chris Rock, rocks.
...some of you appear to be so naive....its so common for many ppl to joke about their faults, shortcomings, illnesses, etc, however its a huge difference when someone else is doing it on a large stage....and you have no clue of this? WOW!
Whatever!
Chris is repeatedly being let down by so many. Imagine how he felt after the physical and verbal assault including mental pain after Hollywood elites and millions around the world saw and then applaud Will.
It was disgusting and appalling. What about the children watching and hearing the vulgarity coming out of his mouth. Thanks Jada for ruining your man. "that's the way you do it" 🤷and damn you sure did it
What about the children seeing cops killing unarmed black men, women & children. Thats more traumatizing than a damn slap
@@beautifulqueen2579 This is True! 💯
@@beautifulqueen2579 Will just fed the already going racist conversation that more black men kill and beat black men more than cops do. You should be pissed that a black man beat another black man on national TV over a joke. That's not going to help people take seriously, as they should, police killing and harassing, beating and tazeing black people.
He's not being a man. He didn't stand up to August, and his wife is an awful woman.
He is okay with someone sleeping with his wife, as long as he’s not making fun of her. Makes sense to no one.
@@carmenbell77 That "Entanglement" song made fun of him. There are so many men that would've beaten August's ass for that. His wife is trash. He should've left and found someone else.
Dr. Richey, you are absolutely right, Will Smith was absolutely wrong.
It was an assault.
Anyother time, place or people, there would have been an immediate arrest.
The mentality that justifies Will’s actions, saddens me and makes me fearful of our society. Under NO circumstance is violence okay.
Except for self defense
But when you're knowingly being hateful, disrespectful and demeaning, that's a 'whole' nother level of evil and some white folk are good for being such and gonna get that azz tapped. Period
They were both wrong, why is it ok to make fun of people or make fun of their appearance? Violence and words both hurt. Anyone ever thought about all the people that suffer from Alopecia and how hard that must be to lose hair and get stared at and talked about because you look different? Violence and tearing down people is way too normalize. Everyone is so so judgmental and ready to bring each other down it’s sic🥴
Violence is unfortunately necessary at times,but I am glad you didn't have to live like that. What happened was not necessary that was childish.
@Protect Black Women No violence is not ok unless your protecting your life or someone else's.
I hope Chris takes Jim Carey’s advice and sues him into oblivion.
Just another day of black-on black-crime in the hood. But they are rich and powerful so nothing will happen to them, looks like. Here's one for you. The perp should check himself into an anger management course, but no matter, as the whole thing was staged anyway.
CR is a G
No, Chris should sue the show producers and the Academy.
@@daviscd6837 They didn’t internationally humiliate him, Will Smith did. I know I would take him for everything I could get because the video of what happened will live for the remainder of his career.
I took Chris Rock's side from the gate because you could tell that he really didn't know why he got slapped.
That's about the third time Chris Rock made a joke about Jada pinkett at the award show
All the men's and women's out there that had their wives with them why didn't he make a joke about them
He knows, now lol
@@majorwalker5239 Thank you. Chris Rock seems to have something in for Jada, maybe he's unaware of it, but comedians usually know exactly what they are doing. And as such would be private, we don't know whether or not anything has been discussed privately between them. Chris kept poking the lion, publicly, and finally got scratched, publicly. Both wrong, but one really worked for a reaction. As to whether he knew why he got *that* reaction, I have known a lot of folks who were extremely verbally abusive and blissfully unaware of how unlikable that was; others used to "laugh" and move away; never saw any of them slapped, just alone, ignored.
@@majorwalker5239 Really!?! Do you have links to the videos showing the other 2 jokes?
I'm not sure who these people polled, but from what I have seen and read on the internet, the vast majority of Americans are very upset with Will Smith.
In his effort to humiliate Chris Rock while the man was doing his job, Will Smith humiliated himself so much more.
His job wasn’t to disrespect her. He knew when write the joke, it was wrong. He thought about the shock value at Jada’s expense.
Will Smith was WRONG WRONG WRONG . I don’t care who he is.!!!!
Ma'am with all due respect, how could Will Smith be the only one wrong when the first slap was a verbal slap that hit the entire Smith family in attendance? Then the second slap was thrown by Will Smith's right hand. I guess I you are using the the standards used by sports referees who always penalize the second violator.
It's called assault. It is a crime. Telling a joke is not a crime.
Whatever just keep his wife name out your 👄
Look it's also civil liability to slander another person on live television so what you saying both have to come before a judge
Will would not have slapped a white comedian like that. He knew he could get away with it with Chris.
He's not getting away with it
Such a cliche comment...Blah
Will is wrong. There have been many other situations in his marriage that were smack worthy. He didn't do so then. Jada always kept short haircut. So who cares. She should have been able to take a joke as well. It's hard to tell when she's offended. She maintained the same cold affect as she always presents. But again. Who cares. That's for Will to deal with his ice queen. His business. She should also exercise keeping their personal business private instead of using it to grab a coin.
All Will showed is he’s a coward
Chris Rock showed us all how to respond with class. Will showed us how to respond like an ass.
Real professional
Indeed
Not surprising that more than half of the US is okay with the slap. the simple fact of the matter is that Chris Rock did not do anything illegal, but Will Smith cannot stand on that same ground. If you want to debate Chris Rock's joke, that is one thing, but as far as Will Smith's actions, that is a crime and there is no debate about that.
I can't believe so many people siding with WS - despicable!
Exactly what the heck is go going on ?😐Everyone said the same thing he was defending his woman no 🙄.
Will is in his own sunken place
💯
Your wrong, there was no calculation. You ever see a crazy person laugh or chuckle before they do some crazy shit. That was Will, he laughed right before he did some crazy shit. Why is he crazy or mentally unstable? Cause the woman he has loved for decades doesn't think he measures up, Will is not her style. 2pac is her style, August Alsina is her style. Will is the safe bet. Not hood, not a thug, Will is safety.
He did that because he has been trying to live up to Tupac's shadow and August, when Jada does not need to be in the Press red table talk that puts shame on her husband.
Team: Chris Rock ❤
Will Smith has 4 inches and 40 lbs on Chris Rock. He wouldn't have stepped on that stage if Chris Rock had 4 inches and 40 pounds on Will Smith. Will Smith was grinning as he walked off stage and then went over and cried to Denzel. What a fake ass joke he is. How you gonna laugh at the joke and one minute later fake act so offended? I got nothing but respect for Chris Rock. Will can get lost!
If jada was a good wife she could have told will sit his ass down but she loved every moment of it seeing her man destroy himself
I really do not think Chris Rock knew about Jada's alopecia.
He used an open hand because he knows paper beats rock.
Thank you dr. Richard I said the same thing I thought that that could have been handled a different way but as far as the Oscars go I am strong enough to know all that is nothing but a bunch phony PPL you are so right could have then something addressed after the show I can let them to my wife people thought but I do know they were going to drag that down in the dirt like always
Only men on the down low let their wives sleep around. Jada has so much control over the situation that he can't even laugh at a joke!
Will Smith was wrong. Period.
I agree with you
100%
Men control themselves. Men don't attack others unless their or someone else's safety is endangered.
Doctor, you are so right about everything. So tired of the excuses that are being made for Will Smith
The two parties involved are settling it behind closed doors, as they should. Why are all these ally lawyers trying to turn it into a messy war. No one was viciously attacked . Will Smith after seeing his wife visibly shaken by this blatant insult of her medical condition, calmly got up out of his seat, walked to the stage in plain sight, and slapped the man who insulted his wife, and mother of his children. Then he calmly walked back and sat down. Then Chris Rock realized his error and took it like a man, and calmly said; "Will Smith just slapped the piss out of me." Then he finished his speech. Then Will Smith told him why he slapped him stating; "Keep my wife's name out of your mouth." Then later accepted his Oscar. Opportunist want to make it messy so they can turn it into a financial opportunity. The Oscar's though a very uncomfortable PR moment, should be happy about the enormous spike in ratings and the fact this caused this year's OSCAR'S to go viral on all local and international social and media outlets. So let us go on to more important issues like World War 🌎 3 in Europe and Russia. Also the high prices of fuel and a pending food shortage.

Has anyone seen the freaking movie?! GI Jane was a strong bad ass Elite soldier who actually shaved her own head, she was a hero ended up and winning against all odds...THIS WAS NOT AN INSULT, SEE THE FREAKING MOVIE ANGRY PEOPLE!
So because U view it one way everybody else is angry and have to agree with you
Sounds about white
That's how I looked at it as well. G.I. Jane was a movie about a strong woman who becomes the first female SEAL commando. She was bad ass and her character was positive. How does that translate into a crack about alopecia is beyond me if Rock didn't know the situation.
They need to do something about these officers that's literally killing people every single day and they want to act concerned about a slap from Will Smith at the Oscar's.
Soul Survivor 77, learn to read the comment as it fits the topic. You are a YOU PEOPLE obviously. Make sense when you address and reply to me.
Did Jada need a savior? Is she not a strong, confident woman, able to stand up for herself in whatever way she chooses? ♀️💜
She's not a strong confident woman. That's the thing. She's an ambitious, insecure, egotistical, self deluded below average performer who thinks she's on a mission for who the hell knows what. She's been riding WS's coattails for twenty years. Otherwise, she'd be a footnote in the entertainment industry. She's just not that impressive. Or as impressive as she thinks she is.
Will Smith at this point is completely broken and Jada is pulling all the strings.
She broke down his masculinity on television during a talk about why she cheated on him. Her excuse was: “If he loved me enough, he would’ve known”.
I think that Will Smith whole heartedly did not care about the joke Chris Rock made at the Oscars, but Jada looks over at Will once the camera pans away, as if to say: “If you dont stand up for me, this is why I cheated.”
Keep toxic women out of your life because it can turn nice dudes into monsters…
Will was wrong and I said what I said
dr. , I am proud of you. ASSAULT IS ASSAULT.
HE WAS LAUGHING.....
He slapped him to stay on her good side ...it was done to please her not because he thought the joke was offensive
Does this slap make Will Smith a KAREN! I think so.
She goes on her "Red Table" talk show and reveals her dissatisfaction with Will's lovemaking prowess and he slaps Chris for making a joke?? Will's frustration with his wife's big mouth led to that embarrassing situation. I'd be heading to divorce court if I were him.
Chris stood up as a man, took it & continued with his presentation. He did [his] JOB! What "Will" should now be afraid of is that Chris Rock has the option 2 file a huge monetary lawsuit, not only on him, but against The Oscar Organization & their security personnel. Chris now has 2 live with that type of humiliation 4 the rest of his life. All bcuz of a simple G.I.Jane 2 joke. I wonder if "Mike Tyson" told that same exact joke...would he have comfortably walked 🚶🏾♂️ up there & slapped "Mike Tyson" 🤔
That's exactly what I said to my husband tonight. Had Mike Tyson made the very same joke, Will would have remained seated, for sure!!😄😆🤣
I'm so over Americans holding celebrities to a higher account, rather than holding politicians to the same account. Will Smith just had a human folly. We've all been there.
"We've ALL been there???"
Not those of us whose parents were not siblings. Not those of us who who don't eat with our feet. Not those of us who don't have the IQ of a stick figure.
But carry on
@@verbalannihilator6641 You've got me confused with someone else, but carry on...
@@verbalannihilator6641 And you pretending that you have never made a mistake in your life is a damn lie.
@@meganalicia5947 It didn't call for 2 responses dear. If you weren't capable of comprehending my response, (which is totally understandable) please hire someone educated to explain it to you. #dismissed
@@verbalannihilator6641 Obviously two responses were needed because you attacked my character and intellect. And, I'm supposed to smile and nod? Did you actually read my initial comment? This celebrity BS is to distract us from the real issues. Bye
Chris Rock is a Comedian and he was professional in the way he handled it. Go, Chris!!!!
Yes he was 👏
Why not makes jokes about his own wife?
He crossed the line and got slapped....let's move on...
Chris rock was all the way wrong on this how cant you make a joke about something personal to the whole world Chris rock knew Jada's situation and still look to disrespect her and him like it was cool to do that. He stood up for his wife as he should and Chris rock is lucky it was just a slap and not a knockout punch.
Chris rock was not a professional when you got personal in his jokes . And he knew he cross the line because if he didn't there would have been a straight up throwing of hand on that stage facts.
Manhood includes impulse control!
Thank you Dr. Thank you.
Because a REAL man AND women can take a joke. And that joke was a compliment if you really think about it.
Oh please people just grow up and follow the shinning, stellar, spectacular, literally sensational example of TRUE manhood.
Thank you Mr Rock for being a gentleman.
