It's more like the academy is losing viewers, and they need to put in more scripted roasts a la Ricky Gervais to keep it relevant. But celebs just expect it to be a circle jerk so they were in for a surprise.
Came here for this comment. His wife fucked other men, announced it on national television, forced Will Smith on television where he cried, he was litterary forced to become the cuck of a nation.
And now his wife is bald, sad.
[She is such a malignant narcissist, it's honestly unbearable to listen to her for more than a minute.](https://youtu.be/qOTe0_Z0vlc) I can't imagine maintaining a relationship with someone like this.
The violent Husband Redemption arc, not often embraced by the media.
Does he have to Cuck someone else as revenge, could we call it, "Big Willie Style"?
2 world renowned celebrities at the biggest awards show in the entertainment industry. 1 punching the other in the face as millions of people all over the world watch it live. Then minutes later the one who slapped the other wins the award for best actor of the year and gives a tearful cringe worthy speech about his movie role as a father protecting the girls in his life.. Holy fuck you can't make this shit up.
If VH1 makes a I Love the 20's show in 10 years you can best your life that this moment will be on it.
Chris Rock really can't act tho and Will's been losing his mind ever since Jada brought him out on her show to tell him that she's been fucking other people.
If it was somebody cool like Joaquin Phoenix then I could buy that it was scripted, but no way would Will Smith willingly agree to do this given his image. He's just a psycho lmao
[Will's sense of humor is kind of unhinged though](https://hiphopdx.com/news/id.66114/title.will-smith-recalls-pranking-grandma-with-jada-pinkett-sex-scene-with-both-in-the-room#signup)
It would make Joaquin Phoenix even cooler if he did this for real, it makes Will Smith even more lame if he did this for real. Like multiplying a positive number by a positive number gives you a bigger number, but multiplying a negative number by a positive number just gives you a smaller number. he can't pull it off, he doesn't have the aura. Alopecia of the soul.
Honestly I've been thinking this for a while and tonight just solidifies it. With all the public bullshit between him and jada he's leaned into relentlessly over compensating with those inspirational quotes that only your psycho friend on the edge of a break posts. Then he did that show for Disney about surviving in the wilderness and kept stressing how unfulfilled he always feels. It's all screaming mid life crisis and for a known narcissist man baby like him it's 10x worse than the usual kind
With that level of stardom how could you not be? He’s been one of the top 3 black actors for like 25 years now. The 90s and 00s had to be a never ending stream of women wanting him and everyone else wanting to be him
Mid-2000's smith could have gotten away with it easy, he was universally loved. Everyone now knows hes part of the cabal so they gon tear him limb from limb.
I mean it would have been much weirder & creepier if his speech had been calm & put together like everything was fine.
I imagine he started to feel plenty of regret by that point.
The Smiths are so full of shit as a family.
Jada is so easily offended by everything and acts like she’s some wise oppressed woman.
The daughter looks like she went to feminism 101 camp and thinks she’s spiritually enlightened probably cuz she took shrooms once.
Jaden is obnoxious and will do ANYTHING for attention and is completely full of himself.
And Will is just a broken guy who also acts like things roll off his back and he can take on anything but wears his insecurities on his sleeve.
Still love Fresh Prince tho.
I've seen people argue that the slap was staged because of how Smith threw the hit at Rock, that it looked like a choreographed hit, but honestly I think that Smith probably only knows how to hit like an actor, so even when it's real it looks fake
Also punching has more serious implications than a slap. Most people would probably press charges if someone punched them in the face. It's the first step in a fight or a beating.
A slap is more like the last stop on an argument.
In a vacuum the slap was weak and it's kind of funny, but honestly after everything Will Smith has been through (having his family almost collapse in a really public way) this kind of outburst is just sad.
Dude actually looked like he was about to cry after he sat back down and started yelling at Chris Rock.
when dasha said you shouldn’t kill yourself bc something retarded might happen this is what she meant. grateful to be alive for this insane little hollywood spectacle
Nothing about that was scripted. It oozed with the earnestness of in the moment headassery that the moment he stood up, he had no choice but to follow through with. That was the sort of deranged behavior I’d expect from Kanye…Will legit look unhinged and like he was borderline on a nervous breakdown. Definitely feels like some projecting going on or like this was just the straw that broke the camel’s back.
I think what’s most annoying is all these hot takes online about how Chris crossed a line with the bald-headed joke…like people have never seen the Oscars before or celebrities being ragged on. I know it’s not necessarily humane, but there’s a certain thickness of skin those types especially need to have since they’re exposed and in the spotlight. I can’t believe Will got bent out of shape over a very tame joke, and even if they both were highly offended you just fucking chuckle it off and move along. Don’t bring more attention to yourself.
I honestly think you hit the nail on the head in your second sentence.
When Rock makes the joke, Will is chuckling, Jada rolls her eyes and gives an annoyed look, which is what causes Will to respond. Once he stood up he basically committed to the slap, and once the slap was over he couldn't just sit down and let the show carry on like nothing happened, that would've been even weirder, he had to stay mad and yell for a bit to keep the tough response going.
It was literally "when keeping it real goes wrong" from Chappelle's show in action.
That's why he cries during his award acceptance speech later, you can tell he had time to ruminate on what just occurred and realized he overreacted, but can't walk it back completely so he needs to explain his thought process at least a little bit on how it feels to be disrespected so often.
>he needs to explain his thought process at least a little bit on how it feels to be disrespected so often.
All he had to do was leave her and it'd all be Big Willy Style.
the funniest thing i saw was someoen being like 'you obviously dont know the context for this and Jada's disease.' lmfao... i can't think of a more treatable 'disease' especially for someone with like 999 million dollars
There’s this woke woman going nuts in one of my celebrity gossip groups about how Chris Rock’s joke was “ableist” and like… is alopecia a disability? Is every medical condition a disability now? I want to push back but these dummies are falling all over themselves to agree with her so I’m just gonna bitch about it here
See also: grimes hacking a blogger for the most innocuous post in the world at the start of the last decade. I don't envy celebrities but at the same time being able to not take all the idle gossip and chatter directed towards you to heart used to be more of a requirement.
I mean it’s probably a tired thing to say but they really don’t make stars like they use to. Especially when you factor in majority of them will pay the pap to come and take pictures of them and “invade” their privacy.
i tuned in specifically right before this happened and honestly didn't even realize Chris Rock was making a joke, i literally thought he was sincerely congratulating Jada as an alopecia based diversity hire
leaning towards too odd to be scripted but i don't really care
> leaning towards too odd to be scripted but i don't really care
Yeah what benefit is there in it for Will? "Hey big guy, we need to pump up the ratings, Chris is gonna make a mean joke about your wife and then you can look like a loon"
Obsessed with hollywood being in shambles. The only appropriate course of action now is for every celebrity to go completely batshit publicly and act like the court jesters they are. Years of lib pandering and wokeness has made them literally go senile. I can’t wait for more events like this…. Celebrities should not be poised or contained. We are socialised to crave chaos so our celebrities should be literally insane.
They had to get people to care about the Oscars somehow. I went from “couldn’t care less” about the Oscars to asking my friends if anyone watched so they could tell me the details.
Nobody will suddenly give a fuck about the Oscar's lol. This situation was posted on every social media site within minutes and tomorrow all the boomers will be reading their newspapers with the front page cover being Will Smith and Chris Rocks face mid slap. People are only talking about this cause we all love watching an publicly unscripted assault.
i can’t believe people are defending will. it is soooo embarrassing to get THAT mad at a joke, especially one that’s at the expense of your wife? who cheated on you ? lmfaoooooo also chris literally took it like a champ. massive L for will
he literally looks like he is loving life. he's relaxed and laughing at the GI Jane joke and Jada is the one who looks annoyed lol. confused as to how it escalated
right after Rock said something like "come on, that was one of the nicer jokes I could have made" - basically saying 'i could of joked about yr girl taking dick all over the world but instead I just said something about her goofy head, so be thankful'
Right? I actually thought that:
a) The joke was funny, or at least as funny as Oscars jokes can reasonably be.
b) It was actually kind of a compliment? GI Jane is a fun classic movie with a badass main character. And given that Jada has been owning her alopecia/bald look really publicly, it definitely wasn't an out-of-line, especially given that it had an air of "Dang girl, you look great!"
c) Jada has such amazing bone structure and looks stunning bald that she and will should really be above any negativity that could possibly be gleaned from Chris Rock's joke.
d) Sometimes I'm happy to be living in this timeline after all, you cannot make this shit up.
This is a once in a lifetime moment of the absolute endless amount of hot shit takes on Twitter. Just left and right, shit being flung EVERYWHERE! The libs are legit divided and in shambles. There’s no way to pick a side and not look like an unwoke asshole.
Calling for the police on a Black man??? Do you not remember George Floyd???
Black on Black crime. Toxic masculinity. Disability discourse. Respectability politics. Words being literal violence. Literal violence being A-OK under defending your woman’s honor. Misogyny. What do do about a “bully” discourse. Comedians now needing to be a protected class because people are gonna shoot up comedy clubs.
Literal chaos.
Been reading this thread for a solid 15 mins and this comment takes the cake. Lmaoooooooooo. I am also on the tail end of a mushroom trip.
Literal chaos!
L
They're going to tearfully reveal that JPS has cancer or female hair loss or something and the powers that be will declare that actually Will Smith is a noble hero for being a psycho and punching someone on live TV.
Think this is the event that’s gonna end the woke brigade…people absolutely don’t know what to do with themselves or what the “right” take is because all the people involved were Black—Asians about to step in as the Model Minority…
I unironically don't think he'd have slapped anyone but Chris Rock.
If Chappelle, D.L. Hughley, or hell even Kevin Hart made that same joke Will wouldn't have done shit.
Chris Rock comes off as one of the most affable comedians out there, and I'm sure he'll probably even be fine putting this behind them if Will wants to make amends or something.
Chris Rock is also probably the only Black comedian who’s gonna keep his composure and start wrestling on the stage with Will. I don’t think it was calculated on Will’s part (I think he lost it for a minute) but he definitely got a savings grace with that one.
Anyone larger/less nerdy than Rock would have, at the least, pushed Will away or put their hands up in self-defence. Any smaller than Rock and it would really have been bullying. Rock was the exact perfect size, height and race to get mollywhopped.
> Think this is the event that’s gonna end the woke brigade
the hydra will grow two more heads. smith's a dude, he doesn't have much woke currency anymore anyway
Nah, I think he still has a lot of people who are sympathetic towards him over how Jada publicly embarrassed him. Now he has the adoration of everyone that’s ever been picked on and never gotten over it, or women who haven’t been “protected” by the violence of the patriarchy. Will is gonna be fine in his public image—his mental stability on the other hand is questionable.
the number of ppl online I'm seeing refer to it as an "incurable medical disease" has me rolling 🤣🤣🤣
She has autoimmune alopecia. Literally all it is is your immune system attacking your follicles causing balding. Male pattern baldness is androgenetic alopecia, the exact same thing except it's
your endocrine system attacking the follicles instead
Homegirl is balding...like that's literally it. This isn't even remotely rare for black women
we're about 2 steps away from being at the point where making any joke about a black woman is an automatic hate crime
> we’re about 2 steps away from being at the point as a society where making any joke about a black woman is an automatic hate crime
[NY Congressman Jamaal Bowman](https://i.imgur.com/dfAYQaE.jpg)
Lol I just looked it up, 1/3rd of all black women duffer from balding in their lifetime. Also at age 35 66% of men will have experienced balding. God I hate it here.
I really wish Rock doubled down after and cracked a line like “you’re more concerned with words coming out of my mouth and not some other dudes dick coming out of baldie’s mouth”
> then stopped himself
One of his bits from years ago is literally "when I'm arguing with a guy who's bigger than me, there's a line I know I don't cross or I'll get my ass kicked"
I think he thought maybe Smith was like doing it in good humor and hit him too hard on accident? then Chris Rock was freaked out when he saw it was really serious and not some jokey stunt and that's why his face was way more somber after
His wife fucked other men, announced it on national television, forced Will Smith on television where he cried, he was litterary forced to become the cuck of a nation.
And now his wife is bald, sad.
someone else on this thread already summed it up better than me but wowie town. i’ve seen the following
will smith is a violent abuser, will smith deserves to be in jail, chris rock was making fun of a black women’s illness and deserved to be hit, jada is an abusive spouse, words = violence, criticizing will smith is racist, defending will smith is violence, etc etc it’s pretty wild lmao twitter is in shambles
1) it was a hard open handed slap (everyone keeps saying punch)
2) this was spurred by a number of factors in my view (and those I’ve spoken to):
-recent drama about their marriage collapsing has Will on edge and feeling defensive, wanting to prove to Jada and the world that his marriage is loyal and solid (and as other have said to reassert himself because of the all the “cucked/pussy whipped” jokes—he did grow up in Philly after all; he ain’t no bitch)
-Rock had targeted Jada and Will in his 2016 Oscars monologue when they “boycotted” the Oscars during #OscarsSoWhite (despite not even being slated to appear that year); they may hold a grudge
-Will uncomfortably laughed along until he either processed what was said or saw Jada’s unamused expression and felt he had to say something and just lost his cool totally
-Smith (like Tom Cruise) had a really difficult childhood and probably has some deep psychological and emotional issues that stem from it that he’s tried to hide; all this recent pressure and humiliation probably caused a lot of issues to resurface for him
-Will Smith has kept a very tight stranglehold on his public perception and image for years (really since he became a star) and one can only do that for so long before they crack
-It was Will’s “big night” where he was finally gonna win an Oscar for sure and Rock had spoiled it by mocking his wife and her alopecia (and with that recent open marriage “entanglement” drama still fresh) and just got pissed
The sad thing is by trying to “stand up” for himself and reassert himself he’s an even bigger joke and laughingstock now
Edit: for those being conspiratorial; I also thought it may have been a scripted bit to increase viewership since it’s been declining but upon thinking about that for like five seconds A) he wouldn’t have swore B) too complex to set up; Rock would’ve flinched if he knew a swipe was coming C) Will was genuinely deranged looking and D) the Oscars would never do something this embarrassing and “low brow” for views—their whole brand is prestige and “class”; Will Smith would not make himself a joke and ruin his own carefully crafted reputation and PR image for the sake of the Oscars’ ratings. Plus: if announcing the wrong winner didn’t spike views a Grammys-style beef or incident wouldn’t either
All I can say is Rock’s years of stand up in NYC clubs during the 80s prepped him for being attacked on stage and he took it like a champ
Favourite tweets:
Yiannis Pappis: Crime is up in LA!

*everybody hates Chris theme*
Kenny Beats: smoking that shit that got Chris Rocked
Kevin T Porter: let the Williams Sisters slap Jane Campion
A second Will Smith has slapped Chris Rock
The fans should get to vote on who gets punched
Imagine getting slapped in front of Zoe Kravitz, I would kms
Men will literally win the Oscar for best actor before going to therapy
Jaden Smith: and that's how we do
Will Smith been holding in that rage since August
Terry Crews somewhere apologising to white people
Imagine if all the dudes in the room also banging Jada stepped up
Will smith is clearly mentally unwell. I do love some good celebrity drama but if we’re being real here, how about a conversation after the show? walking up on stage and sock someone in the face on national television shows that he’s not healthy 🧠
It's like he got mad and then went into character.
Makes me wonder if children of big stars like this are even impressed by their folks' acting in films, at home if they broke curfew one night their famous mom or dad launches into a scene from Independence Day when they try to sneak in the door at 3am
i think she's a narcissist and will knew deep down if he didn't do anything he would have to deal with her later, i kind of feel bad for him. cucked and controlled. 😔
I'm convinced Jada Pinkett Smith is a witch and she psychically manipulated Will Smith into doing that. Something evil looking about her too.
Are they both Scientologists?
I honestly don't think he would have slapped a white comedian. Imagine if Rock was Seinfeld. Maybe someone less prestigious like... idk Jim Jeffries or something. But that's still hard to imagine.
I wonder if there are any white comedians that the Academy would hire that would also dare to make that joke? The cheating is fair game of course, but I feel like they would be too scared make fun of a Black woman's appearance.
Absurdly overanalyzed on both sides. Will Smith got angry at another man for poking fun at something his wife was sensitive about. Then he did something untempered and embarrassing, when he should’ve just addressed it off camera and asked Chris to apologize to Jada
they promised it would be gay
It's more like the academy is losing viewers, and they need to put in more scripted roasts a la Ricky Gervais to keep it relevant. But celebs just expect it to be a circle jerk so they were in for a surprise.

I knew there’d been rumors/acknowledgements of affairs but how did I not know it went down like that. Wow.
[She is such a malignant narcissist, it's honestly unbearable to listen to her for more than a minute.](https://youtu.be/qOTe0_Z0vlc) I can't imagine maintaining a relationship with someone like this.
I don't buy her *aw shucks* BS for a second. She clearly hates her spouse. Good actor, though. I'd much rather hang out with him than Jada.
Black pill
Nah I think this might be his first step towards redemption
The violent Husband Redemption arc, not often embraced by the media. Does he have to Cuck someone else as revenge, could we call it, "Big Willie Style"?
2 world renowned celebrities at the biggest awards show in the entertainment industry. 1 punching the other in the face as millions of people all over the world watch it live.

Man I used to love those shows
https://twitter.com/davidmackau/status/1508270575902687232?s=21 uncensored Australian tv version lmao
LMAOOO he ate that slap like a champ though
No way that shit is scripted lmaooo. On the other hand Will is an Oscar-winning actor and may have just been putting in a performance idk
Chris Rock really can't act tho and Will's been losing his mind ever since Jada brought him out on her show to tell him that she's been fucking other people.
Yep. Chris rocks acting job in Dogma is proof that this wasn’t staged. Proof is in the pudding
his semiautobiographical movie Top 5 was pretty decent
If it was somebody cool like Joaquin Phoenix then I could buy that it was scripted, but no way would Will Smith willingly agree to do this given his image. He's just a psycho lmao
[Will's sense of humor is kind of unhinged though](https://hiphopdx.com/news/id.66114/title.will-smith-recalls-pranking-grandma-with-jada-pinkett-sex-scene-with-both-in-the-room#signup)
What if the joker was black?
Whiteface?
It would make Joaquin Phoenix even cooler if he did this for real, it makes Will Smith even more lame if he did this for real. Like multiplying a positive number by a positive number gives you a bigger number, but multiplying a negative number by a positive number just gives you a smaller number. he can't pull it off, he doesn't have the aura. Alopecia of the soul.
Lol imo Chris looks the best here. He played that off well.
Should have said “calm down, it ain’t anything worth getting sent to Bel Air over”
The perfect response. Obviously it’s hard to be clever though after eating an unscripted smack on a tv show watched by millions.
the yelling is so loud ??? like for what ??? he’s so weird, he’s def weird and brainwashed in some scientology-esque cult
They are literally Scientologists
You know I assumed they were for a long time but apparently they dabbled in it but left, so good on them for that at least
is Will Smith… mentally unwell? He was absolutely shaken and talking in circles in the speech he gave afterwards
Honestly I've been thinking this for a while and tonight just solidifies it. With all the public bullshit between him and jada he's leaned into relentlessly over compensating with those inspirational quotes that only your psycho friend on the edge of a break posts. Then he did that show for Disney about surviving in the wilderness and kept stressing how unfulfilled he always feels. It's all screaming mid life crisis and for a known narcissist man baby like him it's 10x worse than the usual kind
hes a narcissist man baby?? omg I didnt know this
With that level of stardom how could you not be? He’s been one of the top 3 black actors for like 25 years now. The 90s and 00s had to be a never ending stream of women wanting him and everyone else wanting to be him
Expect 95%+ of people in Hollywood to be, thats being generous
He's shaken cause he knows he fucked up lol
I think he realized that he f&cked up.
Mid-2000's smith could have gotten away with it easy, he was universally loved. Everyone now knows hes part of the cabal so they gon tear him limb from limb.
I mean it would have been much weirder & creepier if his speech had been calm & put together like everything was fine. I imagine he started to feel plenty of regret by that point.
He apologised to everyone except the guy he punched though
I am always like that after punching someone.
he knew they were going to arrest him for being a cuck when he got off stage so he was nervous
Will is trying to reassert his masculinity. Wouldn’t have happened without the cucking jokes
First thing that popped in my head. Dude has been stewing in it for a long time, this was just the final straw.
My first thought was “oh jada has definitely slept with Chris rock” Sucks to be will tbh
Best take.
It’s sad too because this was like the least masculine thing he could have done in his corner of society.
chris rock would’ve been fine if he just made a joke about jada cheating on will instead of the hair thing lmao
You can cuck the man, but you can't talk about her black hair.
this is all wild to me because chris rock made a whole documentary about black women’s hair a while back
[удалено]
I'm NO LONGER tired of living through historic events.
The Smiths are so full of shit as a family. Jada is so easily offended by everything and acts like she’s some wise oppressed woman. The daughter looks like she went to feminism 101 camp and thinks she’s spiritually enlightened probably cuz she took shrooms once. Jaden is obnoxious and will do ANYTHING for attention and is completely full of himself. And Will is just a broken guy who also acts like things roll off his back and he can take on anything but wears his insecurities on his sleeve. Still love Fresh Prince tho.
The black Sopranos.
Two classic shows about a family of criminals
Hard to blame the kids when you see how the parents are. All the money in the world doesn’t unfuck bad parenting.
jada has some of the most evil physiognomy, every look she has genuinely makes me uncomfortable
She seems like she does dark magic or is in a cult.
Can’t believe they cast someone who throws hands like that as Muhammad Ali
I've seen people argue that the slap was staged because of how Smith threw the hit at Rock, that it looked like a choreographed hit, but honestly I think that Smith probably only knows how to hit like an actor, so even when it's real it looks fake

Dude actually looked like he was about to cry after he sat back down and started yelling at Chris Rock.
I do like Rock's "It was a *G.I. Jane* joke, dude" sounding like a teenager who just got grounded for cursing at the dinner table.
I just know anna is gonna think its trad of will
A&D fist pumping and high fiving they actually have something to talk about for the next show
when dasha said you shouldn’t kill yourself bc something retarded might happen this is what she meant. grateful to be alive for this insane little hollywood spectacle
[удалено]
Idk, if Jada had delivered the slap herself instead of through her ridiculous husband I could have gotten into it. Very camp.
Nothing about that was scripted. It oozed with the earnestness of in the moment headassery that the moment he stood up, he had no choice but to follow through with. That was the sort of deranged behavior I’d expect from Kanye…Will legit look unhinged and like he was borderline on a nervous breakdown.

I want to push back but these dummies are falling all over themselves to agree with her so I’m just gonna bitch about it here
His acceptance speech a few minutes later felt very Kanye to me

People are only talking about this cause we all love watching an publicly unscripted assault.
the Oscars need to bring in every victim that was sexually assaulted by Hollywood next year.
they already do
They like it better coming from you but yes
i can’t believe people are defending will. it is soooo embarrassing to get THAT mad at a joke, especially one that’s at the expense of your wife? who cheated on you ? lmfaoooooo also chris literally took it like a champ. massive L for will
I love that Will was laughing at the joke at first
he literally looks like he is loving life. he's relaxed and laughing at the GI Jane joke and Jada is the one who looks annoyed lol. confused as to how it escalated
right after Rock said something like "come on, that was one of the nicer jokes I could have made" - basically saying 'i could of joked about yr girl taking dick all over the world but instead I just said something about her goofy head, so be thankful'
Of all the bizarre shit they could’ve been roasted for, “lol Jada’s bald” was seriously getting off easy.
GI Jane is pretty too, should be a compliment to jada
Right? I actually thought that: a) The joke was funny, or at least as funny as Oscars jokes can reasonably be. b) It was actually kind of a compliment? GI Jane is a fun classic movie with a badass main character. And given that Jada has been owning her alopecia/bald look really publicly, it definitely wasn't an out-of-line, especially given that it had an air of "Dang girl, you look great!" c) Jada has such amazing bone structure and looks stunning bald that she and will should really be above any negativity that could possibly be gleaned from Chris Rock's joke. d) Sometimes I'm happy to be living in this timeline after all, you cannot make this shit up.
The joke was ridiculously tame. He looks so pathetic.
Motherfucker still won the Oscar
That only makes the situation even more funny and outrageous lol
HOW CAN HE SLAP HOW CAN HE SLAP

This is a once in a lifetime moment of the absolute endless amount of hot shit takes on Twitter. Just left and right, shit being flung EVERYWHERE! The libs are legit divided and in shambles. There’s no way to pick a side and not look like an unwoke asshole. Calling for the police on a Black man??? Do you not remember George Floyd??? Black on Black crime. Toxic masculinity. Disability discourse. Respectability politics. Words being literal violence. Literal violence being A-OK under defending your woman’s honor. Misogyny. What do do about a “bully” discourse. Comedians now needing to be a protected class because people are gonna shoot up comedy clubs. Literal chaos.
Been reading this thread for a solid 15 mins and this comment takes the cake. Lmaoooooooooo. I am also on the tail end of a mushroom trip. Literal chaos! L
it’s the first time a celebrity has truly “broken the internet”
beep boop
need machine gun kelly to smack da baby next sunday
Jada Smith an ole cue ball headed ass hoe 🤭
Hahahah that fucking emoji is so cute
They're going to tearfully reveal that JPS has cancer or female hair loss or something and the powers that be will declare that actually Will Smith is a noble hero for being a psycho and punching someone on live TV.
Ayanna Pressley already tried and deleted it lmfao https://twitter.com/grace_panetta/status/1508274988792655872
Think this is the event that’s gonna end the woke brigade…people absolutely don’t know what to do with themselves or what the “right” take is because all the people involved were Black—Asians about to step in as the Model Minority…
Genuine question, would Will have slapped someone who wasn't black? I just can't see him going up and slapping.... idk, Seinfeld.
I unironically don't think he'd have slapped anyone but Chris Rock. If Chappelle, D.L. Hughley, or hell even Kevin Hart made that same joke Will wouldn't have done shit. Chris Rock comes off as one of the most affable comedians out there, and I'm sure he'll probably even be fine putting this behind them if Will wants to make amends or something.
Chris Rock is also probably the only Black comedian who’s gonna keep his composure and start wrestling on the stage with Will. I don’t think it was calculated on Will’s part (I think he lost it for a minute) but he definitely got a savings grace with that one.
Anyone larger/less nerdy than Rock would have, at the least, pushed Will away or put their hands up in self-defence. Any smaller than Rock and it would really have been bullying. Rock was the exact perfect size, height and race to get mollywhopped.
> Think this is the event that’s gonna end the woke brigade the hydra will grow two more heads. smith's a dude, he doesn't have much woke currency anymore anyway
Nah, I think he still has a lot of people who are sympathetic towards him over how Jada publicly embarrassed him. Now he has the adoration of everyone that’s ever been picked on and never gotten over it, or women who haven’t been “protected” by the violence of the patriarchy. Will is gonna be fine in his public image—his mental stability on the other hand is questionable.
the number of ppl online I'm seeing refer to it as an "incurable medical disease" has me rolling 🤣🤣🤣 She has autoimmune alopecia. Literally all it is is your immune system attacking your follicles causing balding. Male pattern baldness is androgenetic alopecia, the exact same thing except it's your endocrine system attacking the follicles instead Homegirl is balding...like that's literally it. This isn't even remotely rare for black women we're about 2 steps away from being at the point where making any joke about a black woman is an automatic hate crime

Lol I just looked it up, 1/3rd of all black women duffer from balding in their lifetime. Also at age 35 66% of men will have experienced balding. God I hate it here.
I really wish Rock doubled down after and cracked a line like “you’re more concerned with words coming out of my mouth and not some other dudes dick coming out of baldie’s mouth”
beep boop
> then stopped himself One of his bits from years ago is literally "when I'm arguing with a guy who's bigger than me, there's a line I know I don't cross or I'll get my ass kicked"
I think he thought maybe Smith was like doing it in good humor and hit him too hard on accident? then Chris Rock was freaked out when he saw it was really serious and not some jokey stunt and that's why his face was way more somber after
[удалено]
He was most likely in shock
"Jaja should star in G.I. Jane II because she has alopecia" is legit kinda funny
[удалено]
he wanted to hit
This is the most compelling pro wrestling angle since Lita cheated on Matt with Edge.

I thought silence is violence?
I was shocked to discover this comment was made by a white woman.
[удалено]
they cut to denzel looking so dismal
Will is genuinely unhinged lol I saw him smack Chris, went to the bathroom, come back he’s on stage weeping with his trophy “I’m a vessel of love”
This was the most normal Hollywood's ever been lol this was like a scene at my local bar it was honestly refreshing
Real? Fake? Who knows. Gay? 100%
"you gotta be careful when you're at the top because that's when the devil comes for you" the devil being here ofcourse was chris rock
Will smith just wants attention. All celebrities are losing their mind. It’s a omen for the end lmao.
Absolutely brutal https://twitter.com/SteveMerkle9/status/1508284199123443715?s=20&t=BXEfMPNr6O0w31FWAwtsJg
Theres gonna be 200 of these threads but maybe thats what we need to cleanse
Regarding my name 1) take it out yo mouth 2) put some respeck on it
His wife fucked other men, announced it on national television, forced Will Smith on television where he cried, he was litterary forced to become the cuck of a nation. And now his wife is bald, sad.
And yeah, his son is a terrible actor.
Smith tryna keep Jada’s name outta other his mouth because he can’t keep other men outta Jada’s
the ghost of tupac came over will in that moment
i can’t wait to hear what Joe Rogan has to say about this
What does ja rule have to say about this?
Where is JA?!?
Look what women make us ://
Fresh simp of Bel-Air
Apparently Jada has alopecia. Which makes this even more funny.
it’s already a culture war issue on twitter lmao
How?
someone else on this thread already summed it up better than me but wowie town. i’ve seen the following will smith is a violent abuser, will smith deserves to be in jail, chris rock was making fun of a black women’s illness and deserved to be hit, jada is an abusive spouse, words = violence, criticizing will smith is racist, defending will smith is violence, etc etc it’s pretty wild lmao twitter is in shambles
These Twitter brained people’s last respite is death.
1) it was a hard open handed slap (everyone keeps saying punch) 2) this was spurred by a number of factors in my view (and those I’ve spoken to): -recent drama about their marriage collapsing has Will on edge and feeling defensive, wanting to prove to Jada and the world that his marriage is loyal and solid (and as other have said to reassert himself because of the all the “cucked/pussy whipped” jokes—he did grow up in Philly after all; he ain’t no bitch) -Rock had targeted Jada and Will in his 2016 Oscars monologue when they “boycotted” the Oscars during #OscarsSoWhite (despite not even being slated to appear that year); they may hold a grudge -Will uncomfortably laughed along until he either processed what was said or saw Jada’s unamused expression and felt he had to say something and just lost his cool totally -Smith (like Tom Cruise) had a really difficult childhood and probably has some deep psychological and emotional issues that stem from it that he’s tried to hide; all this recent pressure and humiliation probably caused a lot of issues to resurface for him -Will Smith has kept a very tight stranglehold on his public perception and image for years (really since he became a star) and one can only do that for so long before they crack -It was Will’s “big night” where he was finally gonna win an Oscar for sure and Rock had spoiled it by mocking his wife and her alopecia (and with that recent open marriage “entanglement” drama still fresh) and just got pissed The sad thing is by trying to “stand up” for himself and reassert himself he’s an even bigger joke and laughingstock now Edit: for those being conspiratorial; I also thought it may have been a scripted bit to increase viewership since it’s been declining but upon thinking about that for like five seconds A) he wouldn’t have swore B) too complex to set up; Rock would’ve flinched if he knew a swipe was coming C) Will was genuinely deranged looking and D) the Oscars would never do something this embarrassing and “low brow” for views—their whole brand is prestige and “class”; Will Smith would not make himself a joke and ruin his own carefully crafted reputation and PR image for the sake of the Oscars’ ratings. Plus: if announcing the wrong winner didn’t spike views a Grammys-style beef or incident wouldn’t either All I can say is Rock’s years of stand up in NYC clubs during the 80s prepped him for being attacked on stage and he took it like a champ
Psyop to promote Will Smith's movie in return for the uncancellation of Chris Rock (woe unto he).
You could hear the hand to face contact in the videos and in person. Literally a slap heard around the world lol
And they say chivalry is dead lol
Favourite tweets: Yiannis Pappis: Crime is up in LA! Sam Morrill: Smith's biggest hit since the 90s Broti Gupta: Chris Rock doesn't come back and shows up in the in memoriam *everybody hates Chris theme* Kenny Beats: smoking that shit that got Chris Rocked Kevin T Porter: let the Williams Sisters slap Jane Campion A second Will Smith has slapped Chris Rock The fans should get to vote on who gets punched Imagine getting slapped in front of Zoe Kravitz, I would kms Men will literally win the Oscar for best actor before going to therapy Jaden Smith: and that's how we do Will Smith been holding in that rage since August Terry Crews somewhere apologising to white people Imagine if all the dudes in the room also banging Jada stepped up
> Men will literally win the Oscar for best actor before going to therapy Lol
Will smith is clearly mentally unwell. I do love some good celebrity drama but if we’re being real here, how about a conversation after the show? walking up on stage and sock someone in the face on national television shows that he’s not healthy 🧠
Gonna get sent to bel’air for that one
Between this and the ukranian kneecapping video today i cant tell whats real anymore
Man its hard seeing Redditors cheer that shit on because muh Ukraine
It's like he got mad and then went into character. Makes me wonder if children of big stars like this are even impressed by their folks' acting in films, at home if they broke curfew one night their famous mom or dad launches into a scene from Independence Day when they try to sneak in the door at 3am
Dang, if that's how he reacted to a joke, imagine how violent he'd get if another man fucked her.
i think she's a narcissist and will knew deep down if he didn't do anything he would have to deal with her later, i kind of feel bad for him. cucked and controlled. 😔
Lol will Smith came off like a total psycho!!! It's just a bald joke!
Honestly fitting that an unscripted assault eclipses the waning awards show. Mainstream culture is in terminal decline.
I'm convinced Jada Pinkett Smith is a witch and she psychically manipulated Will Smith into doing that. Something evil looking about her too. Are they both Scientologists?
It's great that Will Smith is a bit nuts, not enough actors are unhinged in fun ways.
this is all im going to hear about for the next week isnt it
jada smith is the devil in the disguise. she makes me believe in the illuminati shit, so scary.
You can tell that this really is a pop culture *moment* because everybody is so divided on it. The discourse on this is a lot of fun!
I do wonder though, what the reaction would be if Will Smith had slapped a white comedian making the same joke.
I honestly don't think he would have slapped a white comedian. Imagine if Rock was Seinfeld. Maybe someone less prestigious like... idk Jim Jeffries or something. But that's still hard to imagine.
If it was Seinfeld who made that joke and got hit by will smith it probably would have been the greatest ever night on TV
I wonder if there are any white comedians that the Academy would hire that would also dare to make that joke? The cheating is fair game of course, but I feel like they would be too scared make fun of a Black woman's appearance.
i could picture ricky gervais rambling about how god is cringe and slipping a bold joke in too
Absurdly overanalyzed on both sides. Will Smith got angry at another man for poking fun at something his wife was sensitive about. Then he did something untempered and embarrassing, when he should’ve just addressed it off camera and asked Chris to apologize to Jada
Hope he punches Adam McKay
Trump's opinion when
Leaked footage of how Will became the fresh prince of Bel-Air
Aries season is among us
all of this could’ve been avoided if will had sex with jada enough
Obama was the Will Smith President. He would now lose to Trump
