 So, you all know me. I almost never talk about celebrity stories unless it kind of crosses into the realm of Politics, but I have to make an exception for this story. I want to talk about the slap that was heard around the world Now I'm not going to play the video for you odds are you've seen it multiple times I don't know if it violates YouTube's terms of service So we won't take any risks, but you all know what happened Chris Rock made a joke about Will Smith's wife Will Smith subsequently walked onto the stage of the Oscars slapped him right across the face and then screamed at him keep my wife's name Out of your mouth now. I did not watch this live. I had no idea that this was going on So I log on to Twitter and then I see everyone talking about this. It's trending And my initial reaction was that it was staged, right? because this is an award show Sometimes maybe they'll do skits and when I saw that Will Smith was laughing at the joke that Chris Rock made I thought okay, he's in on the joke. They're both doing this bit and You know Will Smith slapped him so hard that I thought there's no way that Chris Rock would be able to just absorb that blow And then when Will Smith walked away, you know, he was kind of smirking a little bit But then when I realized it was absolutely not staged when it was 100% real Was when Will Smith was yelling at Chris Rock That's when I realized wait a second. This is actually 100% real because Chris Rock's reaction Was so bizarre to me like if I were slapped in the face in front of millions and millions of people I Don't think that I would be able to just brush it off that easily He said Will Smith just smacked the shit out of it and that made me laugh So I thought okay, this is all fake but watching it back, you know, you realize oh my god This is actually real Will Smith just slapped Chris Rock across the face What do you even say to that that's that's insane now have so many thoughts on this I actually made bullet points so For me wondering how Will Smith went from laughing at the joke To then getting outraged to the point where he'd physically assault someone on national television I think that Benjamin Dixon had a tweet that really explained it well He said I watched it again and truth is it looked like will laughed at the joke himself while Jada was pissed I could be wrong, but it seemed more like oops. Let me make up for it bingo bingo I think that that's what's happening there now I'm gonna tell you my thoughts on it But just to give you a little bit of an update to the situation Apparently Chris Rock will not be filing a police report Although there is this possibility that will Smith could lose the award that he won later that night But some have pointed out that Harvey Weinstein for example has never had any of his awards revoked for doing much much worse So it doesn't seem like that is the best form of accountability. Just you know at face value Now during the commercial break following that incident Will Smith was apparently talking to his publicist And there were other celebrities that were seen Comforting Will Smith as Scott Feinberg of the Hollywood Reporter explains during the commercial break Will Smith is pulled aside and comforted by Denzel Washington and Tyler Perry Who motion for him to brush it off will appears to wipe tears from his eyes as he sits back down with Jada With Denzel comforting Jada and will's rep by his side You can also see a better image here of Bradley Cooper with Will Smith seemingly comforting him this is courtesy of Getty and As I see all of these celebrities Comfort Will Smith as I see him win this award and then get a standing ovation My thought was did anyone check in with Chris Rock because he just got slapped across the face really hard So is there anyone that's kind of by his side saying hey you're doing okay? You still have this show to host so I mean I was just wondering about that and again I'll tell you my thoughts in a second, but I just want to get through all of this first My favorite part about this is the insane political aspect that people are trying to shoehorn in so you you had Max Blumenthal of the gray zone Suggesting that maybe this was a false flag operation orchestrated by I guess the CIA On top of that you have Dave Rubin bringing in the supposed woke elements take a look You know we could also add like the weird woke element of race to this So it was black-on-black violence, which people obviously treat a little bit differently I suspect that if Matt Damon had gotten out of the crowd very pasty white Matt Damon had gotten out of the crowd and Smacked Chris Rock we'd be there would be riots in the streets. Oh my god. Just shut the fuck up. Just shut the fuck up You know, I disagree with some of the takes here, but that's the dumbest take The false flag operation definitely the most bizarre unhinged take But in terms of my thoughts on the situation Okay The joke was bad the joke was not good at all and I feel like celebrities don't even try anymore Comedians rather don't even try anymore So Jada Pinkett Smith has I guess talked about her struggle with alopecia and she shaved her head So, you know, it's a sensitive issue and for Chris Rock to joke about that. It's it's pretty gross But then the joke wasn't even good you joked about her being the star of gi Jane too What even is that joke? And I feel like comedians nowadays. They just don't try There was another joke throughout the night where Amy Schumer joked about don't look up and said hey, don't look up the reviews. I Mean Amy Schumer. Have you been in any movie that's been good ever? I mean every single thing that I see her in she's insufferable and overly pretentious So I mean comedians just don't try they don't try and they're insufferable 99% of the time having said that though Was that response warranted? No under any circumstance. I don't care what you say as a comedian You shouldn't walk up on stage and slap someone. What the fuck were you thinking will Smith? And I say this is someone who's been a very huge fan of Will Smith all throughout my life all Throughout my childhood as I was growing up will Smith was an idol to me I was a fan of everything he was in the fresh fresh Prince of Bel Air men in black while while West everything huge fan of will Smith But still fan or no fan I can put aside my feelings of him and how talented he is and say will Smith You can't do that. You can't slap someone Why what made you think that was acceptable now? I don't think that he thought this through right? It was the heat of the moment. He saw that his wife was hurt perhaps or was trying to do I don't know damage control after his wife saw him laugh at the joke. So he walked up on stage slapped Chris Rock I mean first of all, it's bizarre to me That he was able to just walk back to his seat and then enjoy the rest of the show How was he not kicked out by security? How was he just? There after that, I mean if it was anyone else who wasn't a mega wealthy celebrity They would have been kicked out like if I attended a comedy show and I walked up on stage and slapped the fuck out of the comedian on stage I would be kicked out. I would probably go to jail But because it's a celebrity he can get away with it But what's also bizarre when you introduce this element of class is that will Chris Rock is also a celebrity and celebrities They look out for their own right? It's part of this club This whole thing is like an elitist circle jerk But so was Chris Rock not signaling for security during the commercial break at least to get him the fuck out because he just slapped me I don't want him here because what if he tries to slap me again? I mean, he's very clearly unhinged and I hit a nerve But I mean he just slapped me. Why is he still here if I slapped someone wouldn't somebody, you know Have a question about that or think maybe you shouldn't be slapping someone But because it's will smith we make an exception. No fuck out of here So, um, this whole situation is so Weird to me and I tried to put myself in wool smith shoes I don't know anyone with alopecia So, you know, I'd imagine that that would be a really hurtful joke, especially if it's made about someone that you love But trying to Change the context to see if I could rationalize his behavior there So what if I were there in the front row and Chris Rock made a joke about me that was really homophobic and just Not even funny just really gross and below the belt Would I still think it was acceptable to walk up on stage and slap him across the face? No, I would not because I'm an adult and you don't fucking just assault people Who say things that hurt your feefies that's not what grown-ups are supposed to do right not okay Now you can get me to accept a slap and justify it If we change the context a little bit more like if it was Henry Kissinger on stage a mass murderer Or donald trump. Okay. If somebody walked up on stage and slapped him across the face I wouldn't care, but when we're specifically talking about Jokes and we're limiting it to things that hurt people's feelings Not okay. Not okay at all Now I will say that you can tell that will smith knew that he fucked up and probably regretted it later on Because I mean How embarrassing, you know, you react Irrationally you lose your temper and you slap someone across the face now, you know The following day is going to be everyone talking about this. You're going to look like an imbecile And you know, he probably realized that he fucked up now when he accepted his award He said love will make you do crazy things Sure, I think that that's that's something that does happen But that doesn't justify what you did You should be publicly apologizing to chris rock You know, you can say chris rock also owes will smith an apology because that joke wasn't funny And you know, this is a sensitive subject for his wife But to slap someone over a fucking joke No, not okay. Not okay And I like will smith But I mean in my opinion this kind of ruins Him he goes down in my book because of this Because you know, I always thought that will smith was somebody who You know was just He wouldn't do something like that I always thought of him as this really cool guy jokie and You know, he would be able to contain his emotions, but apparently not chris rock, however, just fucking I don't know how he contained his emotions again His joke was stupid But he didn't deserve to be slapped over it And the way that he just absorbed the slap again. I've got I've got to talk about that It's insane to me. It's like if you storm into the first boss in elden ring market And you know, you've got no Uh, you you've got a shitty, you know weapon You're not leveled up at all and you try to attack market. He just absorbs the blow That's what we saw there bad comparison. Most of you won't get that But you know will smith was a level one And chris rock was a level 99 And you're gonna have to level up to Actually affect him Now I will say that slap was so hard that if will smith closed his face Or closed his fist And hit chris rock in the face He probably would have knocked him out because that was a really hard slap And again, we're showing the still image on the screen right now not going to show the video But that was a hard slap So I just it's so bizarre to see something like that Um, I don't know what else to say. I'm obviously against it. I think that violence is not acceptable um and Yeah, that what else left is there to say I think that will smith should be ashamed of himself. He should be apologizing to people and denouncing violence um, and uh Yeah, anyone who tries to excuse this Sorry, this is inexcusable. It's unjustifiable Again, the joke was gross the joke was disgusting But what's worse than a joke is physically assaulting someone you you can't do that. That's that's not okay So yeah, there's my two cents for what it's worth. Um Bizarre very surreal thing to witness. I kind of wish that I was tuning in live because I wouldn't know How much more of an impact that would have made on me, but I don't think I've ever watched The oscar's live. I just feel like it's so boring and I hate celebrities It's like this elitist circle jerk and to see them there and their fancy clothing Getting people to take pictures of them everyone fawning over them. I just hate it like it it feels Really gross and classist to me But um, you know, this is one that I certainly wish I would have tuned in for because holy shit. That is fucking insane and wil smith Unhinged do fucking better. What's wrong with you?
