Will Smith slaps Chris Rock at the Oscars

[Tb1981]

It's cheesy American celebrity hype... but it does make for good TV/publicity.

IMO, Smith has every right to slap the shit out of someone trying to bully his wife. Some comedians think they can say whatever they want with no repercussions. That's not how the real world works. By all means, say your jokes, but don't start crying when someone gives you a thick ear.

He didn’t start crying he took it and let smith make himself look really stupid.

Rock could have nailed Smith with a few more one liners as he sat back down But chose not to.

Smith looks like one of those piss heads who can’t take a joke in a comedy club and then gets kicked out

I think the worse message is that he was just allowed to sit back down and get his award 5 minutes later.

If you're hosting an event and someone in the audience assaults a performer, you need to have security escort that person out of the event as a minimum. Especially when you've spent the last 5 years telling everyone that you don't accept any discrimination, harrassment or violence.

That's a fair comment. Maybe he should lose his award.

'LAPD investigative entities are aware of an incident between two individuals during the Academy Awards program,' the LAPD said in a press release after the show ended Sunday.

'The incident involved one individual slapping another. The individual involved has declined to file a police report. If the involved party desires a police report at a later date, LAPD will be available to complete an investigative report.'

Which is their bullshit excuse for not getting involved in a hollywood slapping fight, but it's not true that someone needs to press charges. How else do you think police would get around victim intimidation and domestic abuse etc?

I can't beleive in 2022 people still think video evidence from 30 cameras is not enough for the police to get involved.

Can the Police Arrest Me if the Victim Doesn’t Want to Press Charges? - Erika Valcarcel, Criminal Defense Lawyer, P.A.

On occasion there are circumstances where police are called to chaotic scenes where tempers and stress are high. It’s not unusual that after the situation calms, the alleged victim regrets calling law enforcement. In these circumstances, you may wonder if you can still be arrested...

The only pity is it wasn’t Ricky Gervais presenting and Will Smith was wearing knuckle dusters.

Is it too much to understand that that the comedian tells jokes and the actors get awards.
That’s the gig

Yeah I can understand (obviously) why he’s reacted then. Not a funny joke. I don’t rise to jokes about my alopecia any more (although they’re hilarious and totally original) but I know some women spend a great deal of time crying when they’re on the end of jokes about what can be a very distressing illness.

I've had Alopecia since I was 14. Tormented at school, but you learn to roll with it. For women, I can imagine the effects of Alopecia are far more damaging.

Take it up with the LAPD then

Why would anyone watch that self congratulating, luvvie nonsense.

Exactly. Ego stroking event with the media sucking them all off. Far more important things to be concerned about
