I thought it was disgraceful... The Oscars are supposed to be a distinguished event... They talk about white folks bad enough! Sidney Poitier..Chadwick alllll them shaking their head! In awe! Danzel Washington Halle Berry.. allll black folks are in shock. Look at Will he laughed at the joke! It wasn't until he looked at Jada and saw how she took it... Then he got up. Smh... It's just disheartening to see that... Will n Jada already caused strife at the OSCARS before... Now this... They din turned this distinguished event out! Smh
Nothing justified Chris humiliating Will wife. You humiliated my wife in public I'm a humiliate you the same place. If you can't understand a man defending his wife, then you need to question your manhood. There is no rationale for honoring my wife. Comics better be careful what they say. This isn't the first time comics have been assaulted for coming out there mouth wrong. What Will and Jada got going on in their marriage is between them. They both agreed that they could have entanglements. Chris lucky it wasn't a street dude because they probably would have pulled out a gun. Comedians need to go back to just saying jokes and stop personally attacking people with jokes. Times are changing people are sensitive today better be careful. Will Smith just set the precedence for what could happen to comedians in the future for coming out their mouth wrong. Kevin Hart talks about his own family he don't talk about other people's family that's why he's the biggest comedian today.
The most disheartening thing to me is how many ppl agree with Will’s actions. I TOTALLY AGREE with every point you brought up Rickey. You’re a wise man. Much respect to you!
I think people defending him was just a natural reaction and denial...like not Will no way is what was in my mind but the love I have for Chris Rock reeled me back in because I was definitely in parent mode like not my baby no way he did that without a reason but it's clear Will Smith was wrong. Praying for two Kings to come out of this ok... heartbreaking
I am not surprised that Rickey does not agree with what Will did because he like Chris Rock is one of the bitch made Black men that think it is okay for our men to publicly criticize and ridicule Black women about our appearance choices whether it be our wigs, weaves, lashes, edges etc. No other race of men criticize their women like Black men. There was no need for Chris Rock to comment on Jada's hair whether he knew about the Alopecia or not. Will treated him like the bitch he should have because Chris Rock was a bitch for ridiculing her hair.
@@joycewashington8621 I know. If Will felt a way and was gonna walk up there (after he laughed) he should've just told him to apologize. That would've been much better than slapping that man
I agree wholeheartedly with you Ricky and I’m a strong black woman! It’s no way I would have allowed my husband to get violent with someone and humiliate himself and me! That’s it!
Agreed! Any real, loving wife would NOT have allowed him to humiliate himself or mess up OUR money! As long as my husband has my back when it really counts, I'm good. And what woman doesn't make eye contact before or after a situation like this!? Very strange...
I wanted to hear your opinion of this matter, and I wholeheartedly agree with you. Praying for Will Smith because he’s hurting inside. Kudos to Chris Rock for not escalating the slap. God help our Black men.
That Will Smith & Chris Rock Drama was Pre-orchestrated Plot Plan Stage by the Brotherhoods of the Illuminati, Freemasons, Skull N'Bones, Jesuit and Occult, Entity Handlers of the CIA, Secret Societies and Elites. Those Two Actors Souls are Sold to the Devil Satan and they are all apart of those Same Brotherhoods and the Entity Handlers, just like the Oscars Awards, the Academy Awards, the Grammys Awards and American Music Awards to Name a Few. All of that was to Give the Oscars Awards More Ratings, Views and Followers.
Everyone know being compared to GI Jane wasn’t a distasteful joke. Demi Moore,who didn’t portray a woman with Alopecia, played a beautiful military cadet that endure disrespect and ended up saving the day! That was just Will & Jada’s drama spilling over from their home into the world and Chris just happened to be at the right place at the wrong time!
Oh please let this go we can all see at the time Jada did not care what Will did so continue to let Will handle the situation The whole situation was wrong and Will is the one suffering not Jada
I said the same thing, no one went to go check on the victim, Chris Rock, he was the one attacked yet got no attention to his mental or physical well being.
Totally in agreement with you this could have gone all the way wrong. Chris Rock my hats off to you for handling the way you did. I can't believe Will did this.
I feel the Smith's think they are untouchable and yes Will laughed at the joke until Jada gave him that look. So glad the cameras caught that. What does Will actions say to ppl that they can now attack others that make a joke they don't like? I feel the joke was not about alopecia at all. It's been posted that Chris Rock never knew Jada had alopecia.
#chrisrockisatool, CR owes JPS an apology..man up fool. He's a bully and a coward..WS is a good man. I can't say the same for CR given his history..I c why his wife divorced him.😃
Jada didn’t deserve the humiliation either. It wasn’t malicious to you cause you were not the brunt of the joke. You can’t judge what insults another woman. Black men need to stop trying to pick a part black women. Don’t speak on another man’s wife and maybe you won’t get smacked
Just because someone talks about your hair, or head, You think it’s okay..to punch them in the face 👎🏾👎🏾No way No how. I love Will…MORE THEN Chris, but at the end of the day, Will was out of line.💯
What u think Will Smith would have been doing to you after you hit him back yall act like he would not have been on your ass he already mad about his wife hurting 🤣 I'm sure he knows some fighting techniques from all those movies Will from Philadelphia so sure he knows how to fight
I lost all respect for Will Smith, and if you really look at the take, his ass laughed at the joke himself it wasn't until he looks at his controlling ass wife that you try so fuckin hard to get her approval, and saw that look she gave his ass , it was then and only then when he decided to go up on stage and make a complete ass out himself and if that wasn't enough, goes back to his seat and kept it going with that shit which came out his mouth. I always thought he was a stand up guy until that night and as for the Williams family I would have been so pissed at Will because this man just get an award for his roll he played as their father. Will us a punk and is a pyssy for Jada. He has a history of hitting ppl in their mouth but he knows who to hit, bet that. Final comment, he could have waited till after the awards to confront Chris if it was that damn serious, but Chris you held your composer but had that been me, Will would have had his ass kissing that stage, and he walks off like he really did something great, bitch sit yo punk ass down.
Bro, I agree with you 100%!! Give Chris the chance to explain himself! Why didn’t he think about the way Chris Rock’s family will look at him after this?? Straight up embarrassing and disrespectful!
Chris Rock's family will look at him as a GOOD MAN, in which he showed by his restrant... He was professional an continued to do his job... Not too many men that I know, would have had that kind of restraint.
You know what a GROWN man would've done? He would've scoffed at the joke and told his wife to chill the fuck out. REAL people don't take silly jokes as an afront to their honor. I swear men have become sensitive ass children lately. Ya'll need to grow some fucking hair on your chest.
I was looking forward to you weighing in on this Rickey and I absolutely agree with you. It was not okay, it was childish. My 13 year old son even said that Will Smith made a poor choice.
As a woman, I would never want my man to stand up for me in that way. What does a woman gain from allowing her man to put himself in a precarious situation in the name of defending her like that? Only a foolish woman would think that behavior was Ok. Yes, by all means, stand up for me, but do it in the right way. What Ricky suggested would have been more appropriate. I am saddened a disheartened by the whole situation.
Right, they have footage of Jada smiling and laughing about it. She provoked the whole thing cause he was laughing until she gave him the go get him look. As a woman we know our men and we know when and how to stop them from ruining their careers. Why didn’t she stop him? And why did she provoke him and let him continue to tarnish his name? 🤦🏾♀️ His speech afterwards showed a broken man. I honestly thought the whole thing was staged and now I’m on the fence. The video of her changed my whole mood tho 🤦🏾♀️ to know what she’s put him through (cheating on him and talking about it in detail publicly) then to provoke him to make himself look bad it’s all just sickening to me. I feel bad for him and I wish he would have went about it like Ricky said.
If you have had everyone in your mouth.... literally, are a celebrity like me, have spread our family business on a show as well as on other popular shows such as Oprah, have had multiple affairs I knew nothing about and have told the world that I don't satisfy you in bed... My woman or not, you can stand up for your damn self.
Well said Rickey! For someone to be considered a class act, that was awful. You did this on the night a black director was over the Oscars and you did this to another black man. Will certainly could have handled this matter so many other ways.
Yall don't say this much about white men doing aggregious things but when it comes to your own people yall publicly shame the man for doing exactly what a black woman has been crying for for year and that is the protection of a black man for a black woman!
Chris Rock's professionalism in that situation should have earned him that oscar award that they STILL handed to Will, on their stage, after he assaulted that man! Will was dead ass wrong.....period!💯
The crazy thing is the debating about this assault. We know damn well we as regular people couldn’t get away with what Will Smith did. Stop giving passes to clowns who think they above the law. If a white man would of walked up to Chris Rock we would of condemned it. So lets keep the same energy at Will Smith. I don’t do my people this way ever no matter if i agree or not with them.
This isn't about race dude, what!?! The entire point is WILL did this to a fellow human and it isn't right! No one cares what YOU wouldn't have done to your people, but I can guarantee someone in YOUR CLAN has walked up and hit someone before, so don't even try it! We ALL have folk in our races that do things we don't condone. So, you're right about ONE thing....the fact that if a white man would've tried this, it would be condemned....but so would ANY other race! People aren't talking about this bc they see color first. A person with love for his fellow human sees that it was the wrong thing to do before heading on to other aspects of the situation. Get ur mind off the wrong thing
I said the same, he couldn't said what he needed while in his seat & that would've let Chris know & then handled the rest backstage. It broke my heart to see that transpire. I think Will just took his frustration out on the wrong person.
One can't go without the other. If he just say, keep my wife name out your mouth without slapping him, more jokes probably would've came and not stopped. If he just slapped without saying anything, there would have been confusion on where the hit came from. Some would say, the root of it started from Chris Rock, whether it's true or not.
I thought Rebel Wilson and Regina Hall were more disrespectful than Chris was. They brought up stuff about the open marriage and boyfriends jokes that were distasteful as well and he didn't hit them
@@lovelyda5644 Demi Moore starred in a movie called GI Jane, the first female Navy Seal (Fictional Movie) and she shaved her hair during the movie which is what Chris Rock was referring to when he called Jada GI Jane 2.
@@ijustwanttosay7417 Thank u 🙏🏽 for sharing I didn't catch the joke unless it was about her hair still no insult many ladies bald she cute wear it well I've search it and I'll watch it later but it relates to Navy Seal she playing a strong 💪🏾 role very shameful move 😞 😕 😔 😪 wow unbelievable DL Hughley better watch himself he always calls some one out who set on ft roll. No more joke's 🤯😳😲 or the joke's on u🤔
@@lovelyda5644 You’re welcome ☺️ I also thought Jada looked cute with the bald head. I really don’t see the big deal. 🤷🏽♀️ I did not see calling her GI Jane as an insult. This situation could’ve been handled so differently and there would not be any of the discussions we’re having. I would have taken my hands and rubbed my bald head posing for the camera 🤣 But that’s just me. 😁 I just read that he apologized to Chris Rock. There should still be some repercussions for his actions.
Chris Rock should host the Oscars next year. He deserves it. He handled himself very well in an awkward, bad situation. He kept his composure - a strong, wise man.
You never ever put your hands on another person Ever! Thank you Ricky for speaking the truth, and I feel the same whether Chris Rock presses charges or not Will Smith should have been arrested for assault! Absolutely!!
Very well said. If he had been a “regular” person he would have been taken away in handcuffs. And to apologize to everyone but Chris was another slap. Then to go off and party like it was 1999. That shows he had no remorse for his actions. But this will give Chris some new material. He will be here next week. Makes me really want to go now.
@Alicia Brown All Facts!! I'm hoping I get a chance to see Chris Rock live too. He'll probably go ahead and do a whole tour, because those tickets will be selling out wherever he goes!
Protect black women, including Chris Rock's daughters and loved ones who witnessed his very public assault. If a victim doesn't want to press charges that should not stop the arrest of a public assault witnessed by hundreds & millions of on screen viewers. Followed by the public confession of the attacker. Salute to Chris for going forward with the show walking in professionalism and strength. It was a honorable counter to Will's deranged behavior.
Falsehood that’s not law. That’s your wishes against that man. Their can only be one victim and it’s not your eyes. Stop piling on. Our men stand up for their women you still put him down. If our women ain’t worth defending regardless then stop expecting it defend yourself. There’s other women that would appreciate the courage and love to stand up for them. Ungrateful. Your Jesus smashed up a temple, I guess you would arrest Jesus too.
I am so impressed with how Chris handled it. Will was wrong and it was so disheartening to see that. I'm sure Will has talked about someone and he's not a comedian. People need to remove the tree from their own eye before trying to remove the toothpick out of someone else's. #teamchrisrock
This was exactly what I was saying when I saw the incident, Will should've went back stage or waited until the show was over to confront Chris. Will took away a special moment not just from himself but from Will Packer (who directed the Oscars), Quest Love (who won in the category Rock was presenting), and Regina Hall and Wanda Sykes. He embarrassed himself and made himself look foolish!
@@marquezshine747 If you really got a problem with someone you want it handled in private. People who do stuff like that in public just be putting on a show.
No the mature classy way would have been to never humiliate Will's wife for a laugh period. Tell me that when you were growing up when people use to joke about your imperfections or lack of something it didn't hurt. Well it don't stop when you grown. The white man made it seem acceptable for their agenda to continue to make you ashamed of yourself and not assure of yourself. See they understand the universe and that as long as they can make you see negative images and experiences of yourself that's what will manifest in your life. It's all for their agenda to stop you from ever reaching self actualization of your true greatness and power but you don't see it because when you laugh you think your accepted and part of their or even your own community. But actually your joining them laughing at Yourself and your people. Your actually covering up or in denial about your short comings. WAKE UP PEOPLE.
@@charlesadams8018 no quite the opposite, ya see comedians job is to be funny and crack jokes had he actually known how she felt about it then he probably don't do it and you really should listen to Ricky take on this. Violence solves nothing and only gets you into deep trouble. Cause if that's the way you think you defending your woman you really don't need one. Cause if you think this...you moving off emotion, not common sense. And that mentality in the streets will probably get you shot.
That smack wasn’t just for Chris. I think he was in his feelings so deep and wanted to do it in front of the world. So the smack was for everybody who has had something to say about his marriage and his kids. He wasn’t thinking clearly and didn’t take into account where he was and who was watching. It was just a really bad decision.
They the one put their lives out in the world so they should learn to take the heat. He is a wimp, because he was laughing until she give him the look. He wanted to hit her, however she would take him for all he worth. The joke was a joke
Will reacted emotionally. If he would've thought about it first, he probably would've responded rationally. He could have demanded that Chris apologize for his joke and it would have shown how grown Black men should hash out their differences without resulting to violence. Will would have the respect that he deserves instead of the negative criticism.
I would press charges, Will and Jada is full of it, not a good role model, business Bing in the street for years and stop taking about personal stuff on red table I you don't want your business in the street.
@@brandonhardin2609 no accountability that's why she said that Jada ain't what we need either they care so much about her alopecia but didn't give a damn when she was fucking August in her matrimonial home as matter of fact they were hi-fiving her and didn't give a damn about how that made Will feel make it make sense
My wife of 12 years told me, If she was Jada and I was Will. She would have been discussed with that behavior and would have walked out of the venue. She would have told me, Now look what you did, you about to lose your Oscar, all you worked for, plus an Assault charge, all over a f@$king joke. I hope it was worth that hit to your ego." I think that's a REAL woman's response.
@Will Williams You're absolutely right, that is a real woman's response. Unfortunately, our culture thinks that putting hands on someone is a display of strength. But it's completely the opposite. Will (and many others) can say that he was protecting his wife, but anyone who believes that's how you protect us, you have a lot of elevating to do. There would be no satisfaction, or pride, in seeing my husband stain his name & reputation over someone's words. Much respect to you & your wife. 🙏🏽
Will, demonstrates a weak example of a man in control of his emotions and a impotent example of a Father to his SON! Chris, mastered HUGE self control. I now have major respect for, * Chris Rock. *
Listen. I just said to someone didnt Jada see her man getting up? As a wife myself I would've grabbed his tux tail and whisper in that gritted teeth death whisper that we wives do so well and asked " where the hell you going! Boy dont embarrass me in here tnight, sit the hell down!" She must have seen him getting up, wasnt she curious? Concerned? No? I dunno maybe it's just me then.
@@carolynharris5363 it’s not even a man controlled by his emotions, it’s a man controlled by his wife, he was laughing at first until he turned and seen his wife, if you let your wife’s emotions dictate how you respond as a man then you deserve every consequence that comes afterwards cause most of the time women don’t look past right than and there, your job as a man is to make sure your wife and family is protected, not how she believe she should be protect but what makes sure you all get home safe, if you have a wife like Jada and you a regular dude got bless your soul.

I don't think anyone went to him either they were all over there with Will Smith who was the one who assaulted Chris. But you know what that who they supported and not Chris.
I’m proud of Chris Rock for not taking it to the next level because the media would have made it a point to vilify black men as a whole. It took more courage not to retaliate ✌🏿
I am a lady and totally disagree with Will Smith's reaction. NOTHING can justify what he done!!! Now your children think it's okay to disrespect others and show their behind on national TV. My heart goes out to Chris Rock because he held himself better than I would have and he would have been going to jail BEFORE he got that award AFTER we rolled on that stage. Be blessed Rickey!

Being compared to GI Jane is actually a comparison of strength, determination, courage, and the ability to do what is considered 'masculine' as a woman. Women can be beautiful with or without hair. Having hair would not define her. That was the essence of GI Jane. If the only thing we got from that movie was about that character's shaven head shows how shallow we can be
I agree Rickey; this was so inappropriate to do, especially on TV. That confrontation needed to be done off-stage, off-camera. Jada & Will looking real toxic.
They both are toxic and honestly seems like they have way too much b.s. going on in their immediate family. They are the last two people I would even take marital and parenting advice from. They need to be red table talking on how to act like grown adults.
You hit the nail on the head! Me and my husband said the exact same thing about going backstage to ask for an apology. What Will did was wrong, it was classless, it was physical assault and it was embarrassing! Had it been my weight lifting husband or 2 teenage sons who both hold Black Belts in Martial Arts, he would've left the stage on a stretcher. Also, I don't follow Jada either and had no idea she had alopecia. I just thought she was rockin' a short hairdo. Which was cute on her. I've been to enough comedy shows to know that when a comedian takes the stage, Everyone is fair game. We all need to think before we act because, as you said, the cemetery is full of people who ran upon the wrong one!

@@awildaperez9349 please..ur using the word "ghetto" bz the behavior came from two ppl of color lik urself? There's a history of wht ppl getting violent @ the oscars w/other wht ppl, were they ghetto or just bein human? Do ur research b4 u speak..js
You are so right Rickey. He could have sat in his seat and cussed Chris out, never leaving his seat. That is what he did anyway. He went up and hit him and then cussed at him twice. smh WRONG to hit anybody and he did it on national Tv.
I've been waiting all morning for your response Rickey and I knew you were going to say this was not acceptable I agree. I'm so surprised of the comments. That was unacceptable. As a wife I would of not been happy with that. I would of tried to stop my husband and Chris really took the high rode. Smh...
I agree. I would never want my husband to react that way, on a stage like that. I said, wow if he had of confronted Chris Rock backstage, Chris would have come back out and apologized once he told him a thing or two. Its crazy people thinks that was ok
@@mobutter2879 yes and it's like at whatever cost he keeps trying to prove something to her I don't get it because he laughed at Chris then came back accepted the award and cried... what a crazy mess...
People are forgetting that Will was also laughing at the joke along with everybody else in the audience until he saw that Jada wasn't laughing. So evidently he thought the joke was funny as well. He could've told jada to chill its just a joke or he could've apologized to her for laughing if he wanted to make her feel better. At the end of the day comedians tell jokes about everybody so what makes her exempt? Im sure other celebrities dont like all the jokes comedians say about them either but they dont walk up to them and slap them. What happened to FREEDOM of speech.. Violence is never the answer
Will Smith's behavior was unacceptable - period! It's clear that Will has something wrong going on in his life that doesn't have anything to do with that joke.
No Chris rock was just as wrong disrespecting Will Smith wife or any other woman at that his problem is he joke around too much some jokes but not all that funny it’s time for Chris rock to grow up because if the shoe was on the other foot he would not like that also
Did Chris knew about her condition, I don't think he did. No one knew about it until after the fact, I think if he knew he would not have made the joke
Hrs a comedian. Guess you didn't see the whole thing. Because Will was cracking up until Jada said something to him. Will need to keep his hands to himself. He did that to the right one. Another man would have kicked him off that stage.
This is why black on black crime will never end. People out here marching and supporting the black lives matter movement and against police brutality and this type of behavior from a celebrity is just an insult to the cause. So many young men look up to these celebrities and want to be like them so bad and I think Will Smith should publicly apologize to all the young men who has witnessed this horrible and totally unexcusable behavior. And after he does that he should take some of that money he has and go buy him some sense because he has clearly loss his mind!
This is just sad on so many levels. This is the type of situation that set black people back decades. You know how long it took for us to even be considered for an Oscar and then they were few and far in between. It's so sad because these are all actors and comedians we have supported and been proud of as part of our culture that are role models. You are so on point with the black on black crime. I know for a fact no matter what was said if Chris Rock was any other race Will would have probably done what Rickey said he would do but there is no way he would have walked so boldly on that stage and slapped the person no matter what Jada's expression was. The fact that our race is the least respected by the world is shown even by our own. It's just a sad day that all the years of hard work Will has done over his career is going to be overshadowed by his actions in one moment. Aaaaand he's a comedian... the number of jokes he has told at the expense of others is countless and I'm sure he never stopped to consider their feelings. What if every person that has ever been the butt of your jokes came and slapped you? I'm a Will Smith, Chris Rock and Jada fan and this was just a sad day for us. Kudos to Chris for keeping his composure once reality of the situation set in.
I was saying what is Chris didn't know about her medical condition or what if he didn't write the joke. It was just a bad situation and Will should have had more self control. Then his son is on twitter saying "thats how we do it" I hope Chris is okay and I'm proud of Chris for how he handled himself.
The 94th Academy Awards event, the first time an entire Black production team produced. We were winning on so many levels with band leaders, music selections from the DJ! Two Black female hosts, then the slap from one prominent successful Black male to another! What Denzel Washington said to Will is priceless demonstrating brotherhood also Tyler Perry gave calming support. I wouldn't be surprised if they took the Oscar from Will. We prayed for Will and his family. We pray for Chris Rock. May God heal our race globally for us to come together in love not hate. Amen.
That’s thing that’s really blowing my mind. Like he literally laughed, saw Jada wasn’t with it. Walked up to the man calmly. Then slap him, like whaaaaat??
Exactly! My husband and I share your exact sentiment! He literally assaulted someone doing some he was paid to come and do. Then he was able to go sit back down and give his acceptance speech. I wonder if he would have done that to Seinfeld or Seth Rogan and if the same lack of response would have occurred.
They would've laughed their azzez off, Jada would've been shaking her head in agreement. We as black people's can always attack our own race but completely fail to stand up to white people.
I honestly don't think Chris would have made the joke if he knew she has alopecia. Remove the issue of alopecia. I love the movie GI Jane, I think Jada would body a GI Jane redo.
@mskellyp That’s what I thought once he made the joke. Like damn yeah Jada would be fire playing that role. I don’t think Chris was aware of her alopecia nor trying to be malicious with the joke.
@@ImWorthy4Real He's a COMEDIAN. A high possibility chance he did not know that she had alopecia. And like Rickey said it ain't like he called her a Prostitute. Comedy is dying, everyone gets hurt whenever they see the opportunity now.
He shouldn't have made a comment about her hair at all. He's a black man that came from a black woman and he's aware how women feel about their hair especially black women. He wouldn't have appreciated if a comment was made about his daughters nappy hair !!!!. It's been said for many years that she's been loosing her hair. That's a very sensitive issue to make a joke about
Kudos to you, Ricky Smiley, for calling a spade a spade. I was started to get pissed at all the news reporters and celebrities who were clearly scared to speak up and were tip-toeing around Will Smith's bad behavior. You could tell many were afraid of the backlash they might suffer for speaking ill about this "Hollywood Power Couple". I almost turned to Fox News today cause I know they spared them no mercy.
*What Will Smith could have done is simply fight words with words...!!! He could have gone up on stage, like he did, took the mic, & simply made a joke about Chris Rock's appearance. That would have been a more appropriate & reasonable response than violently & physically assaulting someone over a joke.* (SMH!!!)
@@RossaPorsche knock it off, one of the things I hate about people like you is that when these comedians cap on people, and they do to to everybody especially black comedians, there's always one particular group that always seem to think they're picking on them, when Chappelle went off on the lgbtq community they thought that he was picking on them, one even said it. just simply wasn't the case if you look at these guys's comedy routines they make fun of people. That is what they do.
I am in love with Rickey!!! What a REAL man looks like handling the situation! I wish you could talk to Will to give him good advice now to help him make it better for him. Just sad
I agree. I'm completely against violence. I totally understand Will's anger, but to respond the way he did was totally inappropriate. Fight with your words. 🤦🏽♀️
I luv the Smith's I understood Will's anger as well but the slap can lead to a whole lot of misery and separation from his family NOW Chris Rock has been talking about Jada since the movie with the Wayans brother
Thank you Rickey!!! Finally someone with some wisdom about the situation! A bad joke does not justify putting your hands on someone, because you can't control how the other person is going to react!!!
Thanks Ricky for speaking the truth. I'm amazed at the number of people who think that Will did the right thing. Well Will was wrong...PERIOD! Do not put your hands on anyone.
so this incident of Rich famous celebrities slapping broke your heart you got kids out here getting killed on a regular you got people out here dying and getting murdered on a regular 14-year-old boy just died on a roller coaster but Chris Rock getting slapped broke your heart
Straight up truth!! A lot of folks also in jail right now wishing they would have been wiser and used words instead of their hands to handle that situation that resulted in them losing their freedom all at the expense of standing up for someone else.
I agree with this message. Something is not right about any of this. I’m starting to wonder if Will had something else going on with him. It was way over the top.
@@mobutter2879 Exactly, he was laughing at first then it appeared Jada said something,then he went on the stage. I was very disappointed especially when he then used the "f" word TWICE! It took away from his win because all people are talking about now is the SLAP, not the award.🤔
It sadnesses me to see so many of us thinking that Will Smith was right in doing what he did! Real men don’t sneak another man! You pull that man aside and look him in the eye (in private) and get that straight!
Do they think he was right? I don’t think he was right… I’m just not that bothered by it. But that’s cause I did know about Jada’s issues and emotions behind hair loss so when Chris said the “joke” I felt sometype of way myself but I definitely wasn’t expect Will’s reaction. I don’t think Chris was either that’s why he was so caught off guard. I won’t say how someone should feel about something being said about them or their family but I just Will practiced more restraint. But it’s clear, he hit his breaking point… after 30 years he lost it. Now if he would have been arrested I wouldn’t be bothered by that either I mean he probably would have been released before he even made it to the precinct cause I’m sure his lawyer would have beat him there. But it would have been good to show that he is being held to the same standards as others. Cause I also thought he should have been removed from the show because we know if it were a lower level celeb they would have been removed. But other than that, I’m really not big that pressed about this. Will isn’t the first celeb to lay hands on somebody and he won’t be the last… Next 👉🏾
Something else is going on with Will Smith. He took his frustrations out on the wrong person. Kudos to Chris Rock for not loosing his cool like Will but instead chose to take the high road. I can’t believe Will Smith was able to walk out of there and not to the jail house. This is a mess and a total disgrace. He took away from the whole show and other guests of honor moments.
His actions was from a lot of pent up anger from everything thats been going on for the past two years and he reached a boiling point. The man knows how to take a joke but seeing Jada wasn't laughing like everybody else set him off and he got into protect mode over his wife. Even tho they had their situation going on out in the open that still is the women he loves and married to, they just had that one award show where the reporter brought up the entanglement again so enough was enough at this point and took it out on Chris
@@c0wboys4life I feel the same way. We don’t know what’s really going on with Wiil and Jada. Especially after Jada talked about the affair she had. If you’ve never been in a marriage or relationship with some whose cheated and it be public knowledge. It is PAINFUL. OMG. Especially when you decide to stay in the relationship and work on it. Its hard enough not being in the spotlight. It’s probably worst with celebrities like Will and Jada. Leave folks alone cause everyone has stuff they don’t want someone constantly bringing up.
@@mistic6628 Exactly and these entertainers gotta put on fake smiles and laugh at these corny monologues host do cuz they know cameras can be on them at anytime
The one I really feel sorry for is Questlove and his team. This was his first Oscar win and his moment was taken by this incident because people were so focused on whether this was real or or a skit.
Ricky is a good man. Because he is right on !!! The whole Academy production Disrespected Chris Rock. If it would have been anybody else they would have been asked to leave or arrested. I like them both but that was uncalled for!! Everybody clapping and cheering and poor Chris Rock got slapped and humiliated! Where was security. I know it happened fast but he should have been escorted out of the place. The whole thing made me sad either way you look at it.
I felt the same way Chris has always made controversial jokes. That's what makes him a GREAT COMEDIAN..The Academy is backwards I was like oh I guess there is something to the Hollyweird thing ppl be saying!!
@@tfoster5588 I agree with you about that. If it would have been me I would have been under the jail LOL. I just don't like violence. I think something else might have been on Wills mind. It was so shocking. You have a great one!
@@CaramelD1 True but it was the first time that a black man Will Packard was allowed to produce the Oscar's and he did a phenomenal job and what happened? That act overshadowed his accomplishment. A lot of ppl don't know about that because we're focusing on Will Smith assaulting another black man on national tv. Which further proved to the folks just what a lot of them have always thought. That was not the time or the place. Keep that mess in the streets outside of business.
@@swgame2511 I agree 100%. It is sickening and also disturbing to many. If a white man would have done the slapping a lot of these ppl who agreed with what Will did would have had a different opinion.
Now that it is coming out that the LAPD offered and was prepared to forcibly remove Will Smith and arrest him on the spot; and HOLLYWOOD ELITE decided to have someone ask Will Smith to leave without consulting with the black producer...and only Chris Rock who was dismissive of the LAPD and stopped what would have been an ugly scene for Will Smith who had refused to leave when asked; Chris Rock in the eyes of even many more people will garner even more respect and admiration. This could turn into a financial boom for Chris Rock's already successful career.
This type of public assault opens a doorway to comedians being physically attacked because someone in the audience didn't like a particular joke that was directed at them. Arresting Will after the show would have sent a message that attacking someone without provocation has consequences.
Agree totally! No consequences for the rich and famous, that is the message being seen. But, baby watch out for that Karma, God ain’t sleeping. There is repercussions to wrong doing. I hope Chris Rock is okay. He is one of my favorite comedians and is a class act. I wonder what his brother Tony Rock is feeling?
I'm so mad at his azz 😠 he think because he got money no jail time better than Chris I would had kick his sorry azz that wouldn't had been the last time he did that to me 🤨
thank you Rickey so well said.... not only is it folks in the cemetery for making the wrong decision but some are in jail for 25 to life for not walking away... People need to learn to think before they speak/react and look before they leap...
It’s was ok for her to embarrass him with her so called “entanglement” aka affair, but she was offended by a well known comedian making a joke about her hair. I don’t know how familiar people are with alopecia. And I’m certainly not saying she doesn’t have it but she has zero balled spots on her head
GURRRRLLLL I've been thinking the same exact thing since she mentioned it. I'm like last I saw, your whole head was covered. Now this? I hope we are both wrong. I hope she wouldn't lie about something like that, but........
Facts!!!! I think everyone forgot how she embarrassed her husband at the Red table !!! And messed with August for over 2 years hell Will dumb as hell!! Jada know what she be doing
THANK YOU RICKY!! I am in TOTAL AGREEMENT WITH YOU ON THIS ONE!! Will Smith was totally wrong for slapping Chris Rock!! He could have handled that in a much better way!!!! I'm so disappointed in Will Smith and I'm done watching anything that Will Smith name appears in at this point!!!!
I was saying this earlier how he could have sat there and said “watch your mouth” and that would have made it clearer than just walking on stage hitting the man. I felt it was some sucker shit
Thank you, all the rappers and black comedians have been calling her a sexual predator, and clowning Will, he didn't defend her then, not once has there been any story about Will confronting them, but Will attacked Chris Rock, a man he knew wouldn't say or do anything.
Thank you Rickey for continually being a positive black male role model and leader. I've been saying this all day while reading comments and reactions. No one is perfect but it's great to see a perspective on the correct way to handle these situations as a man. We live in an interesting time where less and less people black men in particular are having harder times choosing the right path when interacting with one another. Keep doing what you're doing.
@@R.R.1980 Exactly where was all that energy when he was at the Red Table? Now he want to defend his wife who publicly humiliated him and exposed her affair
Ricky Smiley thank you for being a man of integrity but you also honor and respect your mother.and I know she proud of how she raised you. God bless you
How can we teach our young people to behave and do the right thing. When we have grown people acting like fools in the public. Yes Rickey I totally agree. with you
I didn’t feel then nor do I feel now Chris Rock’s intent was not malicious or insensitive. In the moment he didn’t realize the impact of it at this time. “Intent doesn’t always align with the impact”. Violence only begets violence. Thanks for your take my man.
I’m so glad to hear your thoughts on this matter. I totally agree with you. Will should be glad that Chris didn’t come out with some super-power strength from somewhere nobody knew and slapped Will out of this world 😅. You just don’t handle things through violence. What an example Will is and a let down to his fans.
I totally Agree with you Rickey I said Exactly that. He could of Handle it in a Better Way. It wasn't Professional to do what He did. Because it's to much Already Going on with Our Culture As it Is. Wonderful Points Rickey !!!
That joke was inappropriate and irresponsible. If a comedian doesn't know about the actor/actress, he doesn't need to make a joke. Period. Keep your mouth closed.
@@BeBlessed70 When regular people go to a comedy show, they know that anyone is up for grabs...it's part of the routine. That joke still didn't warrant that slap on a whole stage .He wrong and it should cost him.
Last night was a sad moment for me and nothing to joke about as an African American living in a country that has labeled African American males as a threat, violent and lack self-control. I commend Chris for remaining professional and not pressing charges because he was clearly assaulted with millions of witnesses. And, if you’re saying he was protecting his African American wife, just remember you’re also saying it’s okay to assault another African American man who tells jokes as a profession. Resulting to violence should never be a person’s first response. Something we are all taught and teach our children and young people. Will clearly needs therapy and I pray that he gets it very soon.
You know what Rickey, you made a valid point of Will waiting backstage on Chris to have a man to man discussion.
I thought it was disgraceful... The Oscars are supposed to be a distinguished event... They talk about white folks bad enough! Sidney Poitier..Chadwick alllll them shaking their head! In awe! Danzel Washington Halle Berry.. allll black folks are in shock. Look at Will he laughed at the joke! It wasn't until he looked at Jada and saw how she took it... Then he got up. Smh... It's just disheartening to see that... Will n Jada already caused strife at the OSCARS before... Now this... They din turned this distinguished event out! Smh
Tru I would did the same took him aside or said on side stage my words.. etc
That is a hind sight response, not a initial reaction
@@lashawannajoyner5993 fck the Oscars 🙄
Nothing justified Chris humiliating Will wife. You humiliated my wife in public I'm a humiliate you the same place. If you can't understand a man defending his wife, then you need to question your manhood. There is no rationale for honoring my wife. Comics better be careful what they say. This isn't the first time comics have been assaulted for coming out there mouth wrong. What Will and Jada got going on in their marriage is between them. They both agreed that they could have entanglements. Chris lucky it wasn't a street dude because they probably would have pulled out a gun. Comedians need to go back to just saying jokes and stop personally attacking people with jokes. Times are changing people are sensitive today better be careful. Will Smith just set the precedence for what could happen to comedians in the future for coming out their mouth wrong. Kevin Hart talks about his own family he don't talk about other people's family that's why he's the biggest comedian today.
The most disheartening thing to me is how many ppl agree with Will’s actions. I TOTALLY AGREE with every point you brought up Rickey. You’re a wise man. Much respect to you!
I TOTALLY agree ♥️
Same I 100% agree
I think people defending him was just a natural reaction and denial...like not Will no way is what was in my mind but the love I have for Chris Rock reeled me back in because I was definitely in parent mode like not my baby no way he did that without a reason but it's clear Will Smith was wrong. Praying for two Kings to come out of this ok... heartbreaking
People just don’t wanna see him in that light. I don’t either but wrong is wrong. You can defend your wife without assaulting someone.
I am not surprised that Rickey does not agree with what Will did because he like Chris Rock is one of the bitch made Black men that think it is okay for our men to publicly criticize and ridicule Black women about our appearance choices whether it be our wigs, weaves, lashes, edges etc. No other race of men criticize their women like Black men. There was no need for Chris Rock to comment on Jada's hair whether he knew about the Alopecia or not. Will treated him like the bitch he should have because Chris Rock was a bitch for ridiculing her hair.
Hats off to Chris Rock. The situation could have gotten really bad had Chris not handled it the way he did. Will was wrong.
Yes because he actually look like he wanted to say something else but he kept it classy
I agree 👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
💯💯💯👊
he was shocked and like ni...a...is u crazy.....chris gonna have some new stuff for his act fo shure
I agree.
I said the same thing. Everyone out here giving Will a pass saying that was the last straw because he going through shit. Smh. The shit was wrong
He did not say anything bad about Jada
@@joycewashington8621 I know. If Will felt a way and was gonna walk up there (after he laughed) he should've just told him to apologize. That would've been much better than slapping that man
I agree wholeheartedly with you Ricky and I’m a strong black woman! It’s no way I would have allowed my husband to get violent with someone and humiliate himself and me! That’s it!
👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽!!!
Jada didn't know it was happening. She couldn't stop it.
That's the problem. You don't ALLOW a grown man to do anything.
Me too, I would grab my husband and say honey it’s cool we can check him later
Agreed! Any real, loving wife would NOT have allowed him to humiliate himself or mess up OUR money! As long as my husband has my back when it really counts, I'm good. And what woman doesn't make eye contact before or after a situation like this!? Very strange...
I wanted to hear your opinion of this matter, and I wholeheartedly agree with you. Praying for Will Smith because he’s hurting inside. Kudos to Chris Rock for not escalating the slap. God help our Black men.
Thank you and she is a beautiful lady too.
Give me a break! Will Smith is not hurting. Everybody knows Will and Jada both are crazy.
We got to be kin my last name Blackmon from Augusta ga
Exactly
Absolutely Agree
You literally echoed what I've been saying about this situation since it occurred. You hit EVERY nail on the head! 💯💯💯
Or hit the nail on the chin! Lol
That Will Smith & Chris Rock Drama was Pre-orchestrated Plot Plan Stage by the Brotherhoods of the Illuminati, Freemasons, Skull N'Bones, Jesuit and Occult, Entity Handlers of the CIA, Secret Societies and Elites.
Those Two Actors Souls are Sold to the Devil Satan and they are all apart of those Same Brotherhoods and the Entity Handlers, just like the Oscars Awards, the Academy Awards, the Grammys Awards and American Music Awards to Name a Few.
All of that was to Give the Oscars Awards More Ratings, Views and Followers.
Everyone know being compared to GI Jane wasn’t a distasteful joke. Demi Moore,who didn’t portray a woman with Alopecia, played a beautiful military cadet that endure disrespect and ended up saving the day! That was just Will & Jada’s drama spilling over from their home into the world and Chris just happened to be at the right place at the wrong time!
Oh please let this go we can all see at the time Jada did not care what Will did so continue to let Will handle the situation The whole situation was wrong and Will is the one suffering not Jada
This is why I respect you so much. You're not playing celebrity favorite. You're not pulling no punches with right and wrong.
I said the same thing, no one went to go check on the victim, Chris Rock, he was the one attacked yet got no attention to his mental or physical well being.
I am sure they checked on him. Just didn't get captured.
Soooo VERBAL attacks hurt LESS??? I LOVED THE SLAP!!!
@@charliemaculit566 simp
@@MsGrayst they didn't check on him like they did the perpetrator. That's clear he stayed for the rest of the show
Totally in agreement with you this could have gone all the way wrong. Chris Rock my hats off to you for handling the way you did. I can't believe Will did this.
Did you see Jada reaction afterward? it was like, are you going to take up for me because if 2Pac was a live, he would've.
@@pamelaowens3826 lol
@@pamelaowens3826 that's why he did it. He even laughed at first
I feel the Smith's think they are untouchable and yes Will laughed at the joke until Jada gave him that look. So glad the cameras caught that. What does Will actions say to ppl that they can now attack others that make a joke they don't like?
I feel the joke was not about alopecia at all. It's been posted that Chris Rock never knew Jada had alopecia.
#chrisrockisatool, CR owes JPS an apology..man up fool. He's a bully and a coward..WS is a good man. I can't say the same for CR given his history..I c why his wife divorced him.😃
I agree. Chris Rock wasn’t being malicious. He was being himself. He definitely didn’t deserve that humiliation.
Yes he did... Rock b------
Jada didn’t deserve the humiliation either. It wasn’t malicious to you cause you were not the brunt of the joke. You can’t judge what insults another woman. Black men need to stop trying to pick a part black women. Don’t speak on another man’s wife and maybe you won’t get smacked
It's a humiliation ritual they have been doing it for years to be part of the elite...watch how the bank account grows
@@mistiervin3159 you don't joke about a black women's hair period or get a swift kick in the ass
So right. Will needs to go to jail. And Chris needs to press charges and sue his butt.
I’m with you, Ricky! That’s how people end up dead or in jail.
Just because someone talks about your hair, or head, You think it’s okay..to punch them in the face 👎🏾👎🏾No way No how. I love Will…MORE THEN Chris, but at the end of the day, Will was out of line.💯
It go both ways
What u think Will Smith would have been doing to you after you hit him back yall act like he would not have been on your ass he already mad about his wife hurting 🤣
I'm sure he knows some fighting techniques from all those movies Will from Philadelphia so sure he knows how to fight
Especially in the black communities.
I lost all respect for Will Smith, and if you really look at the take, his ass laughed at the joke himself it wasn't until he looks at his controlling ass wife that you try so fuckin hard to get her approval, and saw that look she gave his ass , it was then and only then when he decided to go up on stage and make a complete ass out himself and if that wasn't enough, goes back to his seat and kept it going with that shit which came out his mouth. I always thought he was a stand up guy until that night and as for the Williams family I would have been so pissed at Will because this man just get an award for his roll he played as their father. Will us a punk and is a pyssy for Jada. He has a history of hitting ppl in their mouth but he knows who to hit, bet that. Final comment, he could have waited till after the awards to confront Chris if it was that damn serious, but Chris you held your composer but had that been me, Will would have had his ass kissing that stage, and he walks off like he really did something great, bitch sit yo punk ass down.
Bro, I agree with you 100%!! Give Chris the chance to explain himself! Why didn’t he think about the way Chris Rock’s family will look at him after this?? Straight up embarrassing and disrespectful!
Chris Rock's family will look at him as a GOOD MAN, in which he showed by his restrant... He was professional an continued to do his job... Not too many men that I know, would have had that kind of restraint.
You know what a GROWN man would've done? He would've scoffed at the joke and told his wife to chill the fuck out. REAL people don't take silly jokes as an afront to their honor. I swear men have become sensitive ass children lately. Ya'll need to grow some fucking hair on your chest.
I was looking forward to you weighing in on this Rickey and I absolutely agree with you. It was not okay, it was childish. My 13 year old son even said that Will Smith made a poor choice.
As a woman, I would never want my man to stand up for me in that way. What does a woman gain from allowing her man to put himself in a precarious situation in the name of defending her like that? Only a foolish woman would think that behavior was Ok. Yes, by all means, stand up for me, but do it in the right way. What Ricky suggested would have been more appropriate. I am saddened a disheartened by the whole situation.
Right, they have footage of Jada smiling and laughing about it. She provoked the whole thing cause he was laughing until she gave him the go get him look. As a woman we know our men and we know when and how to stop them from ruining their careers. Why didn’t she stop him? And why did she provoke him and let him continue to tarnish his name? 🤦🏾♀️ His speech afterwards showed a broken man. I honestly thought the whole thing was staged and now I’m on the fence. The video of her changed my whole mood tho 🤦🏾♀️ to know what she’s put him through (cheating on him and talking about it in detail publicly) then to provoke him to make himself look bad it’s all just sickening to me. I feel bad for him and I wish he would have went about it like Ricky said.
If you have had everyone in your mouth.... literally, are a celebrity like me, have spread our family business on a show as well as on other popular shows such as Oprah, have had multiple affairs I knew nothing about and have told the world that I don't satisfy you in bed... My woman or not, you can stand up for your damn self.
Well said Rickey! For someone to be considered a class act, that was awful. You did this on the night a black director was over the Oscars and you did this to another black man. Will certainly could have handled this matter so many other ways.
Yall don't say this much about white men doing aggregious things but when it comes to your own people yall publicly shame the man for doing exactly what a black woman has been crying for for year and that is the protection of a black man for a black woman!
CHRIS ROCK DISRESPECTED A BLACK WOMAN AND GOT CHECKED FOR IT. PERIOD!.
THIS IS NOT A BLACK ISSUE! WHITE GAZE MATTERS NOTTTTTT! GET OUT OF THE MENTAL SLAVERY!
WS needs psychiatric help, not to be celebrated.

The crazy thing is the debating about this assault. We know damn well we as regular people couldn’t get away with what Will Smith did. Stop giving passes to clowns who think they above the law. If a white man would of walked up to Chris Rock we would of condemned it. So lets keep the same energy at Will Smith. I don’t do my people this way ever no matter if i agree or not with them.
Absolutely correct
That's part of it, the law doesn't care about Black on Black crime.
FACTS
Will is white 🤔
This isn't about race dude, what!?! The entire point is WILL did this to a fellow human and it isn't right! No one cares what YOU wouldn't have done to your people, but I can guarantee someone in YOUR CLAN has walked up and hit someone before, so don't even try it! We ALL have folk in our races that do things we don't condone. So, you're right about ONE thing....the fact that if a white man would've tried this, it would be condemned....but so would ANY other race! People aren't talking about this bc they see color first. A person with love for his fellow human sees that it was the wrong thing to do before heading on to other aspects of the situation. Get ur mind off the wrong thing
"you can't do that" and you're so right. We can't normalize this as a society
I said the same, he couldn't said what he needed while in his seat & that would've let Chris know & then handled the rest backstage. It broke my heart to see that transpire. I think Will just took his frustration out on the wrong person.
One can't go without the other. If he just say, keep my wife name out your mouth without slapping him, more jokes probably would've came and not stopped. If he just slapped without saying anything, there would have been confusion on where the hit came from. Some would say, the root of it started from Chris Rock, whether it's true or not.
He took his frustration out on the person who hurt his wife in the moment
I thought Rebel Wilson and Regina Hall were more disrespectful than Chris was. They brought up stuff about the open marriage and boyfriends jokes that were distasteful as well and he didn't hit them
Exactly. I’m so disgusted with people defending Will. His anger also made him seem unstable because the joke wasn’t that deep.
Read his book.. he speaks on his past
Will your ass was wrong. Don't put your business on the Red Table. You can buy hair every day .So no hair.
Facts... hell I'm a fan of Demi Moore in GI Jane... thats an awesome ass movie..
Powerful Woman movie
Hell it was a compliment in addition to a joke..
Hell if I was Jada I'd be like wear is da contract... GI Jane 2 ... let's red talk table that... contract bitch.. ijs
Exactly, Will was out of line. I was so disgusted by what Will.
Absolutely right! Nothing justifies his behavior. And Chris Rock handled that very well.

I would have taken my hands and rubbed my bald head posing for the camera 🤣 But that’s just me. 😁 I just read that he apologized to Chris Rock. There should still be some repercussions for his actions.
Chris Rock should host the Oscars next year. He deserves it. He handled himself very well in an awkward, bad situation. He kept his composure - a strong, wise man.
You never ever put your hands on another person Ever! Thank you Ricky for speaking the truth, and I feel the same whether Chris Rock presses charges or not Will Smith should have been arrested for assault! Absolutely!!
Not even in self defense?
@@QYJ4456 I know
Very well said. If he had been a “regular” person he would have been taken away in handcuffs. And to apologize to everyone but Chris was another slap. Then to go off and party like it was 1999. That shows he had no remorse for his actions. But this will give Chris some new material. He will be here next week. Makes me really want to go now.
Well said
Yea party in shame.😅😅
@Alicia Brown All Facts!! I'm hoping I get a chance to see Chris Rock live too. He'll probably go ahead and do a whole tour, because those tickets will be selling out wherever he goes!
No, Chris did not press charges
Also, the entire audience standing up cheering when Will won the award was a COLLECTIVE slap to The Academy’s face.
Protect black women, including Chris Rock's daughters and loved ones who witnessed his very public assault. If a victim doesn't want to press charges that should not stop the arrest of a public assault witnessed by hundreds & millions of on screen viewers. Followed by the public confession of the attacker. Salute to Chris for going forward with the show walking in professionalism and strength. It was a honorable counter to Will's deranged behavior.
Falsehood that’s not law. That’s your wishes against that man. Their can only be one victim and it’s not your eyes. Stop piling on. Our men stand up for their women you still put him down. If our women ain’t worth defending regardless then stop expecting it defend yourself. There’s other women that would appreciate the courage and love to stand up for them. Ungrateful. Your Jesus smashed up a temple, I guess you would arrest Jesus too.

I am so impressed with how Chris handled it. Will was wrong and it was so disheartening to see that. I'm sure Will has talked about someone and he's not a comedian. People need to remove the tree from their own eye before trying to remove the toothpick out of someone else's. #teamchrisrock
This was exactly what I was saying when I saw the incident, Will should've went back stage or waited until the show was over to confront Chris. Will took away a special moment not just from himself but from Will Packer (who directed the Oscars), Quest Love (who won in the category Rock was presenting), and Regina Hall and Wanda Sykes. He embarrassed himself and made himself look foolish!
I lost all respect
So he felt his wife was getting disrespected in public and he has to be the one to address it privately?
Not to mention us as Black folks giving them what they want to see us against each other he was wrong period his wife & kids adding on making it worse

@@marquezshine747 If you really got a problem with someone you want it handled in private. People who do stuff like that in public just be putting on a show.
I agree with Rickey. That would've been the mature and classy way of handling things.
I agree ☝️
I totally agree.
off stage masculinity
No the mature classy way would have been to never humiliate Will's wife for a laugh period. Tell me that when you were growing up when people use to joke about your imperfections or lack of something it didn't hurt. Well it don't stop when you grown. The white man made it seem acceptable for their agenda to continue to make you ashamed of yourself and not assure of yourself. See they understand the universe and that as long as they can make you see negative images and experiences of yourself that's what will manifest in your life. It's all for their agenda to stop you from ever reaching self actualization of your true greatness and power but you don't see it because when you laugh you think your accepted and part of their or even your own community. But actually your joining them laughing at Yourself and your people. Your actually covering up or in denial about your short comings. WAKE UP PEOPLE.
@@charlesadams8018 no quite the opposite, ya see comedians job is to be funny and crack jokes had he actually known how she felt about it then he probably don't do it and you really should listen to Ricky take on this.
Violence solves nothing and only gets you into deep trouble. Cause if that's the way you think you defending your woman you really don't need one.
Cause if you think this...you moving off emotion, not common sense. And that mentality in the streets will probably get you shot.
A 10 second decision can cause you a lifetime of regret 🤦🏽
That smack wasn’t just for Chris. I think he was in his feelings so deep and wanted to do it in front of the world. So the smack was for everybody who has had something to say about his marriage and his kids. He wasn’t thinking clearly and didn’t take into account where he was and who was watching. It was just a really bad decision.
Facts that need to be recognized
They the one put their lives out in the world so they should learn to take the heat.
He is a wimp, because he was laughing until she give him the look.
He wanted to hit her, however she would take him for all he worth.
The joke was a joke
@@firstladypie760 Exactly, she gave him that look he sees at home. And he knew what that look was so he got up and embarrassed everybody.
@@firstladypie760 That’s straight facts !!
Will reacted emotionally. If he would've thought about it first, he probably would've responded rationally. He could have demanded that Chris apologize for his joke and it would have shown how grown Black men should hash out their differences without resulting to violence. Will would have the respect that he deserves instead of the negative criticism.
Will was definitely wrong. Chris is such a Professional with the way he handled being physically assaulted.
Chris is an example of what we don't want in the black community. We as black got to stop cosigner with nonsense.
I would press charges, Will and Jada is full of it, not a good role model, business Bing in the street for years and stop taking about personal stuff on red table I you don't want your business in the street.
@@GOGOGLOW2 why say that?
@@brandonhardin2609 no accountability that's why she said that Jada ain't what we need either they care so much about her alopecia but didn't give a damn when she was fucking August in her matrimonial home as matter of fact they were hi-fiving her and didn't give a damn about how that made Will feel make it make sense
Should have kick Will in his back when he was walking off the stage!!!!I see why everybody hates Chris! Be a man a defend yourself.
My wife of 12 years told me, If she was Jada and I was Will. She would have been discussed with that behavior and would have walked out of the venue. She would have told me, Now look what you did, you about to lose your Oscar, all you worked for, plus an Assault charge, all over a f@$king joke. I hope it was worth that hit to your ego." I think that's a REAL woman's response.
@Will Williams You're absolutely right, that is a real woman's response. Unfortunately, our culture thinks that putting hands on someone is a display of strength. But it's completely the opposite.
Will (and many others) can say that he was protecting his wife, but anyone who believes that's how you protect us, you have a lot of elevating to do. There would be no satisfaction, or pride, in seeing my husband stain his name & reputation over someone's words. Much respect to you & your wife. 🙏🏽
Will, demonstrates a weak example of a man in control of his emotions and a impotent example of a
Father to his SON!
Chris, mastered HUGE self control.
I now have major respect for,
* Chris Rock. *
Listen. I just said to someone didnt Jada see her man getting up? As a wife myself I would've grabbed his tux tail and whisper in that gritted teeth death whisper that we wives do so well and asked " where the hell you going! Boy dont embarrass me in here tnight, sit the hell down!" She must have seen him getting up, wasnt she curious? Concerned? No? I dunno maybe it's just me then.
@@carolynharris5363 it’s not even a man controlled by his emotions, it’s a man controlled by his wife, he was laughing at first until he turned and seen his wife, if you let your wife’s emotions dictate how you respond as a man then you deserve every consequence that comes afterwards cause most of the time women don’t look past right than and there, your job as a man is to make sure your wife and family is protected, not how she believe she should be protect but what makes sure you all get home safe, if you have a wife like Jada and you a regular dude got bless your soul.

I don't think anyone went to Chris Rock to make sure he was okay and that makes me sad and angry!
I don't think anyone went to him either they were all over there with Will Smith who was the one who assaulted Chris. But you know what that who they supported and not Chris.
Thanks for making so much sense. I am incredulous and appalled at the number of people that think this was acceptable behavior.
I’m proud of Chris Rock for not taking it to the next level because the media would have made it a point to vilify black men as a whole. It took more courage not to retaliate ✌🏿
You are so right!!!
OK so what about AFTER the show?
@@phenomfacemob1011 then do ya thing
@@swigg348 but he didn't tho
I am a lady and totally disagree with Will Smith's reaction. NOTHING can justify what he done!!! Now your children think it's okay to disrespect others and show their behind on national TV.

Being compared to GI Jane is actually a comparison of strength, determination, courage, and the ability to do what is considered 'masculine' as a woman. Women can be beautiful with or without hair. Having hair would not define her. That was the essence of GI Jane. If the only thing we got from that movie was about that character's shaven head shows how shallow we can be
Ikr?! For Jada to do “G.I. Jane 2” …it’s a good thing.
💯💯💯💯
I agree Rickey; this was so inappropriate to do, especially on TV. That confrontation needed to be done off-stage, off-camera. Jada & Will looking real toxic.
Because they are!
They both are toxic and honestly seems like they have way too much b.s. going on in their immediate family. They are the last two people I would even take marital and parenting advice from. They need to be red table talking on how to act like grown adults.
ditto
Chriss rock comedy is toxic. You can't to evil things and expect positive results. People hide behind labels as if it protects you from natural laws
@@annalove12320 WOW you explained that perfectly
Chris Rock handled it like a real man. He kept his cool. Will was definitely wrong.
You hit the nail on the head! Me and my husband said the exact same thing about going backstage to ask for an apology. What Will did was wrong, it was classless, it was physical assault and it was embarrassing! Had it been my weight lifting husband or 2 teenage sons who both hold Black Belts in Martial Arts, he would've left the stage on a stretcher. Also, I don't follow Jada either and had no idea she had alopecia. I just thought she was rockin' a short hairdo. Which was cute on her. I've been to enough comedy shows to know that when a comedian takes the stage, Everyone is fair game. We all need to think before we act because, as you said, the cemetery is full of people who ran upon the wrong one!

These ppl are funnier than CR or RS comments..CR threw a "friend" under the bus on a wwide stage to guarantee another hosting gig w/a pay increase..ppl witnessed a modern day house n. #chrisrockisatool
Facts!!! Nobody knew she had alopecia! Will is 1000% wrong. That shit was ghetto, and overshadowed the entire show.
@@awildaperez9349 please..ur using the word "ghetto" bz the behavior came from two ppl of color lik urself? There's a history of wht ppl getting violent @ the oscars w/other wht ppl, were they ghetto or just bein human? Do ur research b4 u speak..js
Rickey, you hit on EVERY point I’ve made myself concerning this whole damn incident!!! 💯💯🎯🎯✊🏾✊🏾
You are so right Rickey. He could have sat in his seat and cussed Chris out, never leaving his seat. That is what he did anyway. He went up and hit him and then cussed at him twice. smh WRONG to hit anybody and he did it on national Tv.
Ricky, you’re speaking the truth!! Will was wrong. No way around it.
……….
Never disrespect your beautiful black African people period
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I've been waiting all morning for your response Rickey and I knew you were going to say this was not acceptable I agree. I'm so surprised of the comments. That was unacceptable. As a wife I would of not been happy with that. I would of tried to stop my husband and Chris really took the high rode. Smh...
She (Jada) has proven, she doesn’t give a damn about Will.. She clowns him at every opportunity!
Me too!
I agree. I would never want my husband to react that way, on a stage like that. I said, wow if he had of confronted Chris Rock backstage, Chris would have come back out and apologized once he told him a thing or two. Its crazy people thinks that was ok
@@mobutter2879 yes and it's like at whatever cost he keeps trying to prove something to her I don't get it because he laughed at Chris then came back accepted the award and cried... what a crazy mess...
People are forgetting that Will was also laughing at the joke along with everybody else in the audience until he saw that Jada wasn't laughing. So evidently he thought the joke was funny as well. He could've told jada to chill its just a joke or he could've apologized to her for laughing if he wanted to make her feel better. At the end of the day comedians tell jokes about everybody so what makes her exempt? Im sure other celebrities dont like all the jokes comedians say about them either but they dont walk up to them and slap them. What happened to FREEDOM of speech.. Violence is never the answer
Yes he was laughing and then you do that bs to Chris tucker cause nobody knew of her illness but comedian gone make jokes on each other ..
Will Smith's behavior was unacceptable - period! It's clear that Will has something wrong going on in his life that doesn't have anything to do with that joke.
E X A C T L Y!!!!!
He's mad because Jada's printing about another man that's why he's mad.
Bingo
Exactly 💯 completely unacceptable
Agreed. Jada has been running will through the wringer for far to long. He's starting to appear weak. Even the slap was weak!
Thank you for telling it like it is…..this was an ASSAULT. Mature adults discuss things!!! Getting physical is NOT THE ANSWER!!!
NO, it's called, don't talk out the side of your neck OR you might get your A@@ whooped on the spot. LOVE IT.
Sometimes it is
My sentiments exactly Ricky. Will laughed too. Will was wrong to slap Chris. Kudos to Chris Rock, for maintaining his professionalism
No Chris rock was just as wrong disrespecting Will Smith wife or any other woman at that his problem is he joke around too much some jokes but not all that funny it’s time for Chris rock to grow up because if the shoe was on the other foot he would not like that also
I agree. 👌
Did Chris knew about her condition, I don't think he did. No one knew about it until after the fact, I think if he knew he would not have made the joke
Hrs a comedian. Guess you didn't see the whole thing. Because Will was cracking up until Jada said something to him. Will need to keep his hands to himself. He did that to the right one. Another man would have kicked him off that stage.
He did laugh then when Jada look at him ,then he got mad ,he was wrong on so many levels.
One of the best rationals I’ve heard about this altercation. Ricky Smiley is very WISE!!!
This is why black on black crime will never end. People out here marching and supporting the black lives matter movement and against police brutality and this type of behavior from a celebrity is just an insult to the cause. So many young men look up to these celebrities and want to be like them so bad and I think Will Smith should publicly apologize to all the young men who has witnessed this horrible and totally unexcusable behavior. And after he does that he should take some of that money he has and go buy him some sense because he has clearly loss his mind!
This is just sad on so many levels. This is the type of situation that set black people back decades. You know how long it took for us to even be considered for an Oscar and then they were few and far in between. It's so sad because these are all actors and comedians we have supported and been proud of as part of our culture that are role models.
You are so on point with the black on black crime. I know for a fact no matter what was said if Chris Rock was any other race Will would have probably done what Rickey said he would do but there is no way he would have walked so boldly on that stage and slapped the person no matter what Jada's expression was. The fact that our race is the least respected by the world is shown even by our own. It's just a sad day that all the years of hard work Will has done over his career is going to be overshadowed by his actions in one moment. Aaaaand he's a comedian... the number of jokes he has told at the expense of others is countless and I'm sure he never stopped to consider their feelings. What if every person that has ever been the butt of your jokes came and slapped you? I'm a Will Smith, Chris Rock and Jada fan and this was just a sad day for us. Kudos to Chris for keeping his composure once reality of the situation set in.
I was saying what is Chris didn't know about her medical condition or what if he didn't write the joke. It was just a bad situation and Will should have had more self control. Then his son is on twitter saying "thats how we do it" I hope Chris is okay and I'm proud of Chris for how he handled himself.
The 94th Academy Awards event, the first time an entire Black production team produced. We were winning on so many levels with band leaders, music selections from the DJ! Two Black female hosts, then the slap from one prominent successful Black male to another! What Denzel Washington said to Will is priceless demonstrating brotherhood also Tyler Perry gave calming support. I wouldn't be surprised if they took the Oscar from Will. We prayed for Will and his family. We pray for Chris Rock. May God heal our race globally for us to come together in love not hate. Amen.
Yes i agree our race really need a healing, we forgot about brotherly love and God. Less get back to the way we should be!!!
Amen
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
@@annetteharrison2817 I agree 100% with you. We need God, and we need to support and love one another. :)
Well said Amen
Well said. It’s a sad situation for Will. I think therapy is definitely needed.
You are absolutely correct. Therapy in the form of a $100M lawsuit.
The moment overshadowed Will’s win and especially Questlove’s win.
Exactly
I'm just trying to figure out how Will gon laugh about the joke THEN decide to do something
Because he looked over and seen his wife’s reaction.
@@jaithomas9409 I was thinking the same thing. Because he was having a pretty good laugh at first.
@@coppercuttie well he’s just as bad for laughing. He should have be just as offended as she was.
ruclips.net/video/3-JppTI6FEg/видео.html
That’s thing that’s really blowing my mind. Like he literally laughed, saw Jada wasn’t with it. Walked up to the man calmly. Then slap him, like whaaaaat??
Exactly! My husband and I share your exact sentiment! He literally assaulted someone doing some he was paid to come and do. Then he was able to go sit back down and give his acceptance speech. I wonder if he would have done that to Seinfeld or Seth Rogan and if the same lack of response would have occurred.
I said the same thing
Nope...
Suppose The Rock or LeBron James was giving the joke? How would Will have approached them?
They would've laughed their azzez off, Jada would've been shaking her head in agreement. We as black people's can always attack our own race but completely fail to stand up to white people.
Go head Rickey! ❤️ Yes, it was assault and Chris Rock handled it very well, so much respect to him. Many points made, you nailed it all!
I honestly don't think Chris would have made the joke if he knew she has alopecia. Remove the issue of alopecia. I love the movie GI Jane, I think Jada would body a GI Jane redo.
But you have to rennet this isn’t the first time he made a Joke about Jada at the Oscars!!!
@mskellyp That’s what I thought once he made the joke. Like damn yeah Jada would be fire playing that role. I don’t think Chris was aware of her alopecia nor trying to be malicious with the joke.
@@ImWorthy4Real He's a COMEDIAN. A high possibility chance he did not know that she had alopecia. And like Rickey said it ain't like he called her a Prostitute. Comedy is dying, everyone gets hurt whenever they see the opportunity now.
He shouldn't have made a comment about her hair at all. He's a black man that came from a black woman and he's aware how women feel about their hair especially black women. He wouldn't have appreciated if a comment was made about his daughters nappy hair !!!!. It's been said for many years that she's been loosing her hair. That's a very sensitive issue to make a joke about
My words EXACTLY
Kudos to you, Ricky Smiley, for calling a spade a spade. I was started to get pissed at all the news reporters and celebrities who were clearly scared to speak up and were tip-toeing around Will Smith's bad behavior. You could tell many were afraid of the backlash they might suffer for speaking ill about this "Hollywood Power Couple". I almost turned to Fox News today cause I know they spared them no mercy.
Right I agree with Ricky
Lol not even this could make me turn to faux neews.
*What Will Smith could have done is simply fight words with words...!!! He could have gone up on stage, like he did, took the mic, & simply made a joke about Chris Rock's appearance. That would have been a more appropriate & reasonable response than violently & physically assaulting someone over a joke.* (SMH!!!)
Lol
that's not a "power couple" tho. that's dome freaky fukery. that is all.
Chris STOOD STRONG, on his MANHOOD. Proud of him for how he handled that.
I agree,
I couldn't do it though,
I couldn't do it,
I would had reacted totally different.
It would had been WWE up in that b***h.

@@greenearthblueskies8556 basically
By disrespecting a Black woman’s looks? For comedy? Please sit down.
@@RossaPorsche knock it off,
one of the things I hate about people like you is that when these comedians cap on people,
and they do to to everybody especially black comedians,
there's always one particular group that always seem to think they're picking on them,
when Chappelle went off on the lgbtq community they thought that he was picking on them, one even said it.
just simply wasn't the case if you look at these guys's comedy routines they make fun of people. That is what they do.
I am in love with Rickey!!! What a REAL man looks like handling the situation! I wish you could talk to Will to give him good advice now to help him make it better for him. Just sad
I agree. I'm completely against violence. I totally understand Will's anger, but to respond the way he did was totally inappropriate. Fight with your words. 🤦🏽♀️
Ok I
I agree 👍💯👏
He been doing that his whole life. Sometimes people get tired and will slap the shit outta you.
I luv the Smith's I understood Will's anger as well but the slap can lead to a whole lot of misery and separation from his family NOW Chris Rock has been talking about Jada since the movie with the Wayans brother
💯 agree
Will was wrong for that, he SHOULD have handled that in a different manner.
He acted like an idiot
Will was wrong FLAT OUT we all grown got dammit
All I can say is I AGREE WITH YOU 100% ON EVERYTHING YOU SAID! Period!!!
Wisdom and Reason spoke thru you, Mr. Smiley.
Thank you Rickey!!! Finally someone with some wisdom about the situation! A bad joke does not justify putting your hands on someone, because you can't control how the other person is going to react!!!
Thanks Ricky for speaking the truth. I'm amazed at the number of people who think that Will did the right thing. Well Will was wrong...PERIOD! Do not put your hands on anyone.
This really broke my heart. To much violence going on in the world.
so this incident of Rich famous celebrities slapping broke your heart you got kids out here getting killed on a regular you got people out here dying and getting murdered on a regular 14-year-old boy just died on a roller coaster but Chris Rock getting slapped broke your heart
How much is too much?
People wonder why the kids are fighting and so violent
Exactly, We are so messed up Everyone overlooked the actual Victim !!!
The movies show violence as welll. People act like this is the only violence. What about that. This show promotes violence through the movies
That was so disrespectful doing that in front of millions of people. I agree with you Ricky
Straight up truth!! A lot of folks also in jail right now wishing they would have been wiser and used words instead of their hands to handle that situation that resulted in them losing their freedom all at the expense of standing up for someone else.
I agree with this message. Something is not right about any of this. I’m starting to wonder if Will had something else going on with him. It was way over the top.
The frustration of his marriage
Yeah, he was laughing at first..then took the temperature of the room.
My husband said the same thing
@@mobutter2879 Exactly, he was laughing at first then it appeared Jada said something,then he went on the stage. I was very disappointed especially when he then used the "f" word TWICE! It took away from his win because all people are talking about now is the SLAP, not the award.🤔
Maybe it’s more than alopecia… maybe it’s chemo 🤷🏾♀️
It sadnesses me to see so many of us thinking that Will Smith was right in doing what he did! Real men don’t sneak another man! You pull that man aside and look him in the eye (in private) and get that straight!
He did not sneak that man! Chris clearly saw him coming...what he thought he was coming 2 do, hug him for clowning his wife?!
Do they think he was right? I don’t think he was right… I’m just not that bothered by it. But that’s cause I did know about Jada’s issues and emotions behind hair loss so when Chris said the “joke” I felt sometype of way myself but I definitely wasn’t expect Will’s reaction. I don’t think Chris was either that’s why he was so caught off guard. I won’t say how someone should feel about something being said about them or their family but I just Will practiced more restraint. But it’s clear, he hit his breaking point… after 30 years he lost it. Now if he would have been arrested I wouldn’t be bothered by that either I mean he probably would have been released before he even made it to the precinct cause I’m sure his lawyer would have beat him there. But it would have been good to show that he is being held to the same standards as others. Cause I also thought he should have been removed from the show because we know if it were a lower level celeb they would have been removed. But other than that, I’m really not big that pressed about this. Will isn’t the first celeb to lay hands on somebody and he won’t be the last… Next 👉🏾
Rickey! I've been saying this all day. Then after the slap...he went up on stage talking about God has plans for him.....really???
Will made a punk move. But just wait until the other comedians get through with him.
@@KWd-ir9jc And?! Whatever they have to say, Will will be fine. Hell, not many of them are saying much about it now.
You're so right. Spoken like a true king and a real Man for sure
I respect Chris Rock. I was so impressed how he handled that unnecessary behavior.
Not me
Jada insults her family daily at the red table talk. Will should be slapping his wife in her for all the shit she spews.
He had no choice he knew he was off code...the slap brought him back on code...He got the message...They will be good friends now...
I don’t. I’m glad he got checked even tho Will should not have slapped him, he needed to be checked!!
Amen everyone was.i still can't believe that kinda foolishness happen on TV I won't surprise anyone now day's
Something else is going on with Will Smith. He took his frustrations out on the wrong person. Kudos to Chris Rock for not loosing his cool like Will but instead chose to take the high road.
I can’t believe Will Smith was able to walk out of there and not to the jail house. This is a mess and a total disgrace. He took away from the whole show and other guests of honor moments.
His actions was from a lot of pent up anger from everything thats been going on for the past two years and he reached a boiling point. The man knows how to take a joke but seeing Jada wasn't laughing like everybody else set him off and he got into protect mode over his wife. Even tho they had their situation going on out in the open that still is the women he loves and married to, they just had that one award show where the reporter brought up the entanglement again so enough was enough at this point and took it out on Chris
I agree
@@c0wboys4life I feel the same way. We don’t know what’s really going on with Wiil and Jada. Especially after Jada talked about the affair she had. If you’ve never been in a marriage or relationship with some whose cheated and it be public knowledge. It is PAINFUL. OMG. Especially when you decide to stay in the relationship and work on it. Its hard enough not being in the spotlight. It’s probably worst with celebrities like Will and Jada. Leave folks alone cause everyone has stuff they don’t want someone constantly bringing up.
@@mistic6628 Exactly and these entertainers gotta put on fake smiles and laugh at these corny monologues host do cuz they know cameras can be on them at anytime
No one checked on Chris because they know he has a strong backbone. That’s the action of a real Man!!!!
The one I really feel sorry for is Questlove and his team. This was his first Oscar win and his moment was taken by this incident because people were so focused on whether this was real or or a skit.
Ricky is a good man. Because he is right on !!! The whole Academy production Disrespected Chris Rock. If it would have been anybody else they would have been asked to leave or arrested. I like them both but that was uncalled for!! Everybody clapping and cheering and poor Chris Rock got slapped and humiliated! Where was security. I know it happened fast but he should have been escorted out of the place. The whole thing made me sad either way you look at it.
Exactly!! Why security didn’t step in? Why nobody asking if Chris is okay. Like that just show you a lot smh 🤦🏽♀️
@@UrbanAfricano93 I know the whole thing was sad. You Have a great day
I felt the same way Chris has always made controversial jokes. That's what makes him a GREAT COMEDIAN..The Academy is backwards I was like oh I guess there is something to the Hollyweird thing ppl be saying!!
@@tfoster5588 I agree with you about that. If it would have been me I would have been under the jail LOL. I just don't like violence. I think something else might have been on Wills mind. It was so shocking. You have a great one!
I agree with Ricky. He played himself by losing control in a professional setting in front of the "folks" at that.
In front of the WORLD...............It was a sickening display
The “folks” aren’t going to approve anyway. Look at how Judge Ketanji Brown is being treated?
@@CaramelD1 True but it was the first time that a black man Will Packard was allowed to produce the Oscar's and he did a phenomenal job and what happened? That act overshadowed his accomplishment. A lot of ppl don't know about that because we're focusing on Will Smith assaulting another black man on national tv. Which further proved to the folks just what a lot of them have always thought. That was not the time or the place. Keep that mess in the streets outside of business.
@@swgame2511 I agree 100%. It is sickening and also disturbing to many. If a white man would have done the slapping a lot of these ppl who agreed with what Will did would have had a different opinion.
He didn't lose control he did what you wouldn't do
💯 percent agree with everything you said. And he should have been arrested. That was beyond ridiculous the way he handled this.
Yes, he should have been arrested. Would he have slapped Billy Crystal if he had of old that joke?
@@larkstevens8456 No he wouldn't have. He wouldn't have left his seat. I think he knew Chris would not fight back.
Now that it is coming out that the LAPD offered and was prepared to forcibly remove Will Smith and arrest him on the spot; and HOLLYWOOD ELITE decided to have someone ask Will Smith to leave without consulting with the black producer...and only Chris Rock who was dismissive of the LAPD and stopped what would have been an ugly scene for Will Smith who had refused to leave when asked; Chris Rock in the eyes of even many more people will garner even more respect and admiration.
This could turn into a financial boom for Chris Rock's already successful career.
This type of public assault opens a doorway to comedians being physically attacked because someone in the audience didn't like a particular joke that was directed at them. Arresting Will after the show would have sent a message that attacking someone without provocation has consequences.
Rightly said. He needs to pay the price for the assault.
Agree 💯
Agree totally! No consequences for the rich and famous, that is the message being seen. But, baby watch out for that Karma, God ain’t sleeping. There is repercussions to wrong doing. I hope Chris Rock is okay. He is one of my favorite comedians and is a class act. I wonder what his brother Tony Rock is feeling?
Yeah man. That's a good point. Slippery slope.
I'm so mad at his azz 😠 he think because he got money no jail time better than Chris I would had kick his sorry azz that wouldn't had been the last time he did that to me 🤨
thank you Rickey so well said.... not only is it folks in the cemetery for making the wrong decision but some are in jail for 25 to life for not walking away... People need to learn to think before they speak/react and look before they leap...
Right and someone said it was Alcohol induced... Well, if that's the case then, Will, you should Never drink Again at any awards show!!

It’s was ok for her to embarrass him with her so called “entanglement” aka affair, but she was offended by a well known comedian making a joke about her hair. I don’t know how familiar people are with alopecia. And I’m certainly not saying she doesn’t have it but she has zero balled spots on her head
GURRRRLLLL I've been thinking the same exact thing since she mentioned it. I'm like last I saw, your whole head was covered. Now this? I hope we are both wrong. I hope she wouldn't lie about something like that, but........
The only thing I saw on Jada head was that facelift surgical scar
@@orchid4308 HAAAAAAAAA
@@orchid4308 😀😀😀😀 no way ...lol
Facts!!!! I think everyone forgot how she embarrassed her husband at the Red table !!! And messed with August for over 2 years hell Will dumb as hell!! Jada know what she be doing
THANK YOU RICKY!! I am in TOTAL AGREEMENT WITH YOU ON THIS ONE!! Will Smith was totally wrong for slapping Chris Rock!! He could have handled that in a much better way!!!! I'm so disappointed in Will Smith and I'm done watching anything that Will Smith name appears in at this point!!!!
I was saying this earlier how he could have sat there and said “watch your mouth” and that would have made it clearer than just walking on stage hitting the man. I felt it was some sucker shit
He did look at the full audio
I Would Love To Just Hang Out With RS 😂🤣🤣
Thank you, all the rappers and black comedians have been calling her a sexual predator, and clowning Will, he didn't defend her then, not once has there been any story about Will confronting them, but Will attacked Chris Rock, a man he knew wouldn't say or do anything.
Exactly Sir!!! Smh
Actually he went after the most non-confrontational comedian in the game✔️ Meanwhile not one of her bed buddies get touched! That is some BS💯
Thank you Rickey for continually being a positive black male role model and leader. I've been saying this all day while reading comments and reactions. No one is perfect but it's great to see a perspective on the correct way to handle these situations as a man. We live in an interesting time where less and less people black men in particular are having harder times choosing the right path when interacting with one another. Keep doing what you're doing.
So true👏
He didn’t slap her at the red table when she belittled him
Right, that what I had said
And he didn’t slap 👋🏾 August
@@R.R.1980 Exactly where was all that energy when he was at the Red Table? Now he want to defend his wife who publicly humiliated him and exposed her affair
@@R.R.1980 Are you sure about that?
Exactly he sat there and said nothing
Ricky Smiley thank you for being a man of integrity but you also honor and respect your mother.and I know she proud of how she raised you. God bless you
How can we teach our young people to behave and do the right thing. When we have grown people acting like fools in the public. Yes Rickey I totally agree. with you
I didn’t feel then nor do I feel now Chris Rock’s intent was not malicious or insensitive. In the moment he didn’t realize the impact of it at this time. “Intent doesn’t always align with the impact”. Violence only begets violence. Thanks for your take my man.
I’m so glad to hear your thoughts on this matter. I totally agree with you.
Will should be glad that Chris didn’t come out with some super-power strength from somewhere nobody knew and slapped Will out of this world 😅. You just don’t handle things through violence. What an example Will is and a let down to his fans.
I totally Agree with you Rickey I said Exactly that. He could of Handle it in a Better Way. It wasn't Professional to do what He did. Because it's to much Already Going on with Our Culture As it Is. Wonderful Points Rickey !!!
Listen comedians MUST be able to do their job without fear of harm. That joke didn't warrant that slap.
Exactly. Katt Williams, Richard Pryor, Paul Mooney, Dave Chapelle and others would have said worse.
It was bigger than the joke. This has been going on for years ok. Research research research. Chris had bad intention.
That joke was inappropriate and irresponsible. If a comedian doesn't know about the actor/actress, he doesn't need to make a joke. Period. Keep your mouth closed.
Freedom of speech, not consequence.
@@BeBlessed70 When regular people go to a comedy show, they know that anyone is up for grabs...it's part of the routine. That joke still didn't warrant that slap on a whole stage .He wrong and it should cost him.
Last night was a sad moment for me and nothing to joke about as an African American living in a country that has labeled African American males as a threat, violent and lack self-control.
I commend Chris for remaining professional and not pressing charges because he was clearly assaulted with millions of witnesses. And, if you’re saying he was protecting his African American wife, just remember you’re also saying it’s okay to assault another African American man who tells jokes as a profession. Resulting to violence should never be a person’s first response. Something we are all taught and teach our children and young people. Will clearly needs therapy and I pray that he gets it very soon.
Exactly
👏👏👏
You are 100% correct!!
💯
This is actually the most valid point I’ve heard all day.
You are so on point I agree with you 💯 percent!!!
