Hollywood praised a man who committed assault and battery. The hypocrisy is dripping.

@Human1000 They did. And who is "Hollywood"? (I haven't heard any reactions except here and one host on sports radio who seemed to consider the mention of alopecia as something so shamefull it must be hidden, never mentioned. Wonder how Steve Harvey feels about that?

@ChipmunkErnie Hollywood was at the ceremony. He was applauded, people laughed at his jokes, etc.

@Human1000 Oh, Fred and Ethel Hollywood. Gotcha.

@ChipmunkErnie At the actual ceremony. That is “Hollywood.” It was the Oscars.

@Human1000 Gee, so the place and everyone in it, in the whole industry, has one mind and one reaction. Gotcha again. LOL

@ChipmunkErnie Obviously not everyone, but at the ceremony it was as if nothing had happened. It was the Oscars, where the industry goes for its award ceremony. I wasn’t expecting this point to be controversial. Heck, I even hope I’m wrong and Smith is punished. But we both know that won’t happen.

And so yes, I call this hypocrisy because of how Hollywood generally supports non violence. Well, here it was, and Will wasn’t escorted out. He wasn’t arrested. He gave his speech, and received applause and laughter. Did you see it differently?
