Can we demand a public apology from Will Smith?

@CassandraSissy I totally agree with you on your Kanye/Taylor point. Kanye was totally wrong for interrupting Taylor. But I’m saying that Will Smith is wrong for doing the exact same thing.
Am I missing something?
I don’t understand why some people are shaming Chris Rock.

@Faroutcat Sweetie, there's a difference between some idiot proclaiming someone has made a better album than you - art is subjective, after all - and someone [i]directly[/i] dissing your wife.....

Personally speaking, I was hoping that the Swift would have punched [i]him[/i]!

There's a way of saying things and bringing someone's medical condition into account is just wrong. What next? A person with cancer getting berated by a so-called comedian and told they're gonna die soon?

Not on. Totally not on.

@CassandraSissy Jada looked fantastic at that award show. She was talking to the press and overall seemed to be having a good time. She wore a designer dress. She certainly was not in a hospital gown or wheelchair. And she wasn’t wearing a wig because she looked fabulous with her shaved head. I know she has an illness but she certainly doesn’t show it. If she had announced that she was going to be in a new movie sporting her shaved head, everyone would want to go see it including me. So, I don’t see anything wrong with what Chris Rock said. As a comedian Chris is simply doing his raunchy humor like always. I don’t even think Chris was trying to be offensive. It was a G.I. Jane joke, not a joke towards Jada.
Is everyone supposed to walk on eggshells and tiptoe around Jada now because we are so afraid that Will might get mad again?

@Faroutcat Sweetie, 2 out of 3 people will have cancer. A lot of people that you might pass by in the street [i]have[/i] cancer. They don't look like they have cancer...because...you [i]don't[/i] have to look ill to have cancer....

Same with Jada's illness and condition. It's directed at her. She's already 'came out' with her condition throughout the media....so Chris would have to be insensitive or just plain...stupid! Which one? Up to the watcher.

The only other way it could have gone was if Jada shouted out that she had alopecia, which is not the kind of thing - as I understand - a person with that condition would do. Chris has, apparently, done programmes on black women and hair loss so you'd expect him to have a bit more about him than that.

🤔

@CassandraSissy You seem to know a lot more about it than I do. So I believe you and understand your point.
I’m not so sure if Chris Rock knew of her condition when he made that joke. Or if that was even his joke at all. Many of those award show hosts are reading off of a teleprompter and the jokes are written by comedy writers. I’m not sure if that was the case here.
As for the movie reference in G.I. Jane, Demi Moore was labeled one of the sexiest women in Hollywood at that time even with her shaved head. So, when I heard Chris comparing Jada Smith to Demi Moore, my initial thought was for it to be taken as a compliment; not an insult. Comparing any woman with a shaved head to Demi Moore would be a compliment.
Obviously Jada felt insulted in that moment. I hope she is able to get healing with her family and friends supporting her. And I want her to have a speedy recovery.
As for Will and Chris, I hope they can patch things up somehow. Will has made a sincere apology to Chris. It would probably be a good idea if both men seek out mental therapy from all this drama.
