In reply to the discussion: Holy shit. Will Smith vs Chris Rock. [View all]OneBro
(1,159 posts)133. Bizarre.
Will Smith initially seemed amused by the joke while Jada seemed stunned. The punch seemed fake. I wasnt stunned until Will started yelling. My first thought was that he only felt the need to react after realizing Jada was unhappy with the joke.
Chris seemed underwhelmed by the punch or slap or whatever it was, but he was extra-whelmed by the yelling and cursing.
Sad if any part of it was real; sad if any part of it was fake.

Rock was miked. The sound of the slap/punch sounded like film editing because the mike amplified it.

Considering Jada has Alopecia which leads to her baldness, it was a joke in bad taste.

Rock knew, they are close friends and Jada has come out about her condition.

I have alopecia. I'm not bald. No one but my doctor and hairdresser know (and a close friend).

I bet I can cite instances where you would agree a slap is understandable, if not justified.

I hope his career and reputation are more damaging than getting arrested.
