One person could have made the Oscars better.

[PdamnedQ]

Will Smith hit somebody like it was in his own house.

The event was not his house.

Let's consider how dire things might become if, going forward, an offended audience member "X" decides that just like last year, "I'll slap the shit out of MC "Y."

X = anyone including, child stars.

and

Y= anyone including, child stars.

But, you have to admit that saying, "Keep my wife's name out your fucking mouth!" sounded just like a line from some kind of movie about a tragic self absorbed, but truly insignificant, ass.

Whatever happened to, "You like me, you really, really, like me."

Thanks, bully boy for showing everyone the Oscars are just trash.

"Come on Butterfly, it was just a luncheon, let's go home and get away from these assholes."

1. Lots of problems created by Will Smith for...

Will Smith.
Every muscle bound, smart ass that Will will see in public, is going to start “pushing his buttons” about his wife.

[Walleye]

2. I hadn't thought of that. Perhaps he will live to regret it after all

[Omnipresent]

3. That temper of his will probably short circuit his career.

What director wants the liability of a star, who is physically capable of assaulting people on the set?

[Walleye]

4. The Academy of motion pictures is already talking about not inviting him back. We'll see if he ever

Gets nominated again. I think this incident after the initial shock factor is going to leave a real bad taste in the mouth of the people who were there

[Buckeyeblue]

6. Yep. You advertise yourself as a fighter then you're going to have to fight

I still can't believe Chris Rock didn't fight back.

[CommonHumanity]

13. Chris Rock was the real man and I admire how he handled the debacle

I don't think enough has been said about Chris Rock's incredible grace under pressure. Imagine if he'd met violence with violence to prove he too is a "real man". Instead he met it with something akin to disbelief.

In my view, Chris Rock, is the one who behaved like a real man, aka a rational man in control of himself and one who does not resort to violence when someone acts like an immature asshat.

If any lesson should be taken from the debacle, it should be Chris Rock's grace under pressure before an audience of thousands. He displayed his grace even further by not capitalizing on the incident or giving it more attention. He has remained largely silent on the issue and allowed Will Smith's ridiculous action to speak for itself.

Will Smith appeared to be seriously unhinged. Will Smith crying during his acceptance speech reminded me of Kyle Rittenhouse. Crying after he belatedly regrets his hideous toxic behavior. His excuse about attributing it to love was a lame excuse for his inability to manage his emotions.

[Omnipresent]

14. Knowing how Chris Rock thinks...

He wasn’t going to press charges, because he knows everyone is dying to hear about his experience, in his next upcoming standup act.

Yes sir, Will Smith gave Chris an opening for a funny bit, and Chris is going to use it!

Thanks Will!!

[CommonHumanity]

16. Both men put their character on display for the world

Chris Rock is one badass dude. Anyone who says Chris Rock should have hit back has unfortunately fallen under the same toxic masculinity spell as Will Smith.

[Buckeyeblue]

20. I'm not sure I agree with that

Rock should incredible grace in that circumstance. But had he fought back, it would have been understandable. Sometimes you can't maintain composure after your physically attacked. And that's being human. It has nothing to do with toxic masculinity.

5. Hollywood needs to demand Will Smith get mental health before working with him again.

[Demsrule86]

8. There is nothing wrong with him mentally, he was pissed. I can't believe we are still talking about

this.

[Emile]

10. Will Smith is struggling with his mental health and has been for several years!

Don't believe me? Try googling it!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Oh. You researched it on the internet but provide no links, nor credible links. Okay. Got it

There is some vague stuff, but needing "therapy" now? You haven't even begun to make a case and if you don't, then it is just a slam you are slinging around.

Anger management classes? That's another story.

[Demsrule86]

19. Why would I do that and why would I believe half of what is on the internet.

It is not my business...Will Smith and Chris Rock have come to an understanding...no charges. Why do we think such things are our business or even matter?

[Demsrule86]

7. Chris Rock made fun of a medical condition...he is a jerk if you ask me.

And he is not funny.

[Omnipresent]

15. You should watch comedians like Don Rickles.

Chris Rock comes off as nice compared to him.
Besides that, Will was laughing before, he thought it hurt his wife’s feelings.

[Demsrule86]

17. I have seen the footage and I didn't think he was funny at all. I see no difference with what

Chris Rock did then what Trump did when he made fun of mentally challenged people. A young girl in my daughter's school tried to commit suicide because of the kids making fun of her. for alopecia. It is not funny.

[Omnipresent]

21. I was talking about Don Rickles, not Trump.

Watch Don Rickles and you will understand the comparison I was making.

[Buns_of_Fire]

9. TFG could have been the presenter instead of Chris Rock. nt

[Demsrule86]

18. I agree.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. Wrong. You don't get to hit people even in your own house

Abusers hit partners in their own house.

Doesn't make it right.

So when you write

The event was not his house.

... it is very bogus. Please don't do that.
