It's so inspiring to see people immigrate from a third world, communist caste system, and so easily adapt to the woke Ivy League establishment culture in the US. A great example of assimilation and rags to riches in one generation.

This will likely be my bottom line on the subject.

I was mistaken.

Interestingly, #Pfizer were the sponsor of the #Oscars, and have a new #Alopecia drug #ritlecitinib likely coming to market later this year. #WillAndChris

What Angela said. Can't prove it was. Can't prove it wasn't, specifically because even if it was real, Smith was trying to make a point, not cold cock Rock. But it makes no difference either way to anyone's life, even Smith's or Rock's.

The result barely registers on my radar. The incident was good for a laugh. Whether or not it was premeditated makes me yawn. We have so many problems that are so much bigger.

The shyll actually has a point, for a change. The whole thing could have been scripted by Pfizer, to get hypochondriacs tearing their hair out. There's a conspiracy theory I'm surprised you haven't already sunk your teeth into.

The fact that Chris Rock didn't fall to the ground/go down to his knees tells me the whole thing was planned from the start. Smith probably didn't even hit him with all of his strength. The whole thing was designed to create shock value in order to get more people to tune in and give them more views they don't deserve.

What bothers me is that this incident has brought out waaaaay too many people commenting around the net about how it's acceptable to assault someone over words that hurt feelings. And not even that hurt the assaulter's feelings. The assaulter's WIFE'S feelings. Will laughed at the joke. Jada did not. I guess we're normalizing assault over words/feelings/disagreement now. Seems about the right trajectory for society these days....

(did seem a bit scripted though since Rock even leaned into the strike, presenting a clear and clean target which no one does when someone is storming at you)

Has Will Smith always been like this, or has something recently drove him over the edge?

If he has always been like this, it could be another case of Hollywood protecting a flawed insider and keeping it a secret for years. If that were the case, we will probably start hearing leaks of past outbursts from Smith.

It hits too close for home to the comedians and other live entertainers. While they would usually cheer wokeism and the “words are violence” and “punch a Trump supporter” memes, this is their turf and their jobs. Just like they love BLM and Antifa riots and looting until it gets near their homes.

As far as Chris Rock is concerned, it seemed like he was doing everything he could to defuse the situation, and keeping his hands behind his back may have been part of that effort. And something that no one has pointed out, it appears that right after the slap lands, it looks like Rock is getting ready to throw a right at Smith, but Smith had already turned to walk away, and Rock was trying to keep it professional. Bottom line is you can read whatever you want into subtle gestures.

He grew up in a two-parent home, scored a perfect 1600 on his SAT, speaks proper English, wears his pants pulled all the way up, and I think it's safe to say that a good part of his remarkable success was due to his ability to attract white audiences to himself as a clean cut black guy (kind of the entertainment version of Obama). When he rose to fame as a really young man, maybe even teenager, he always seemed mature and level headed. Of course, with celebrities it's hard to say what's real.

But it does seem like his marriage to Jada has contributed to his getting like this. She was famously in a relationship with Tupac when he was killed, and supposedly has always measured Will against him. It kind of seems like she wants Will to be more of a thug. And the observation of the different initial reactions to the joke of her and Will seems to fit with this.

Or it could be that Rock was leaning forward attentively because he was expecting Smith to say something to him sotto voce or in a stage whisper, and wasn't anticipating a slap at all.

This. You find what you look for.

If you look for signs or reasons to think that it was staged, you'll find them.

If you look for signs or reasons to think that it wasn't staged, you'll find those, too.

The strut of Will Smith was not indicative of a whisper to follow.

I do not know why this is even being talked about...Hollyweird has proven a good majority of them hate this country and everything it stands for.
