A few schools of thought:
there’s the "sticks and stones” crowd who don’t think anything verbal justifies physical violence.
There’s the "two wrongs" crowd; Rock was wrong for the joke, Smith was wrong for the slap.
Then a few just think Rock got what he deserved and wish Smith had knocked him flat.
And some think the whole thing was staged.

@BabyLonia I don’t understand what there is to be said.

@bijouxbroussard I personally don't think Will should have assaulted Chris, but that's not because I think Chris's comment was okay. If Will hadn't assaulted him, the headlines would be all about Chris's joke, instead of Will's temper.

@Ghostinthemachine I have noted that females of the human species tend to be extraordinarily concerned about their hair, and human society in general frowns upon women who do not have hair.

@Ghostinthemachine
I tend to agree with this view. If I were to lose hair due to alopecia or cancer, I would very likely laugh it off as it would take my mind off my troubles and smile. At least for a moment. The problem is that we kinda expect other people to react the same, but often don't.

@CorvusBlackthorne I find females of the eagle species less concerned about baldness 🦅

@Niloo It is my considered opinion that had Mr. Smith not committed a physical act of assault, everyone would be chiding Mr. Rock for his poorly conceived joke. However, as it stands, Mr. Smith is in the spotlight for his act of aggression.

@Thatsright I bet nobody even thinks about assulting Mike

@Bklynbadboy12 I had suggested that Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson should be the next host. But Mike Tyson would be a good choice too.

@Quetzalcoatlus You must know that’s not new. That would be going back to the old days when comedians were thrown in jail for offensive content. Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, Dick Gregory.

It’s a comedy show where the audience traditionally gets roasted. I’ve been made fun of at a comedy show and so has my wife, it’s part of the act. It was hilarious and no one assaulted the entertainer..

In my opinion it was bad behavior squared.
At least Will Smith was up front about it instead of hiding in the shadows with a baseball bat.
People keep saying he was laughing in the audience - that looked more like a snarl to me.

Ricky Gervais would’ve made the same joke or maybe even a worse one.

"illness" she lost some hair, she isn't dying
GerOttman · 61-69, M
Probably because Will hit the dude instead of just making him look cruel and insensitive. He just played it wrong.

1. They are
2. Comedians are allowed to make jokes and are invited to do so. Chris Rock was invited and material screened.
3. It was barely a joke.
4. battery is illegal.
5. Will Smith lets men fuck his wife, but goes crazy when he sees her pissed off at a half-joke.
6. If Jada has what she says she has it's a very mild case.
7. Jada looks great bald, anyway, and we all know it.

Cause tv has been sucking lately and we have all run out of shows to binge out on Netflix.

The joke wasn't that bad of a rib. Roasting the crowd is a traditional part of emceeing. That said I don't think an open palm slap is that hig of a deal either vu5 come one Will amd Jada, get a little humility. It's alopecia ffs, not chemo. The whole thing is a big to do about nothing all around.
