Cute. This glorification of violence is gross. This isn't a movie, Willie and you think it is and this is somehow acceptable is wrong. The entitlement to think you can physically assault someone for making a joke is shocking.

Like the other person I would venture to guess you have never really had to deal with violence and the aftermath. Next level insecurity of yourself to feel the need to strike someone for a joke and pray and quiver in fear that there is no reprisal.

I would bet anyone on the forums would slap you, full stop. Maybe we need another poll.

never and nowhere. Chris wasn’t “talking shit.” making a single dumb joke at an event where that is expected and literally his job is a far cry from someone being in your face or otherwise pushing it.

I VERY MUCH doubt that for a multitude of reasons. You are adorable.

Interesting that you think you can define what "talking shit" or "pushing it" is for other people.

kinda sounds like i’m a grown up who understand appropriate behavior.

my husband and i are both in live events. among the bigger missteps here for me is being on stage when one should not be on stage. that’s a wasted white girl act.

I had Chemda’s reaction to Will Smith-like who would have thought he would have been the one to react like that.

Isn’t Chris Rock known as an insult comic? He was literally doing his job. Were they good jokes, no. He didn’t deserve to be slapped. And I agree that Chris handled it amazingly well.

What was really sad about this is that it took the joy and attention off the winner of the Documentary!!!! That was their moment that was stolen. I feel like that is what should be talked about more.

Is the implication that Will Smith does not understand appropriate behavior? Do we not have decades of evidence of him understanding?

Try being a grown up with empathy that understands people can have out of character moments that can be triggered by things that you personally wouldn't be triggered by.

that is my implication, yes. what he did was unprofessional and petty.

i live with Borderline Personality Disorder, trust i know what it is to fight inappropriate impulses. your feelings are not an excuse to put your hands on people. there are ways to handle it, this was not one of them.
