Will Smith slaps Chris Rock at the Oscars

So it has become clear that Will was in the wrong but it begs the question..

When is it right for a man to step in and defend someone be it a wife/family member/friend/stranger?

Easy. When they are under threat of violence. And I suppose if someone you didn't know in an unusual place was over the top on their reaction to your woman, generally speaking most men normally voice their disapproval. Which normally elicits an apology from the erring party. And failure to apologize, or if they doubled down or continued insulting or making your woman feel uncomfortable... Perhaps, at that point, a resort to violence is NOT acceptable, but understandable.

Here, We had none of that.
What We have was a mild joke by someone paid to make jokes about people in the audience.
2. Then a hurt celebrity in the crowd. (
3. Then, said celebrity's angry husband, who feigned an absence of anger as he cooly approached the hired commentator before sucker punching the unsuspecting victim.
4. In no way is this example EVER acceptable grounds.

That was so douchy

Kind of strange. Will Smith's wife openly cheats on him, then expects him to defend her "honour" when a joke is made a her expense. If she will not honour the marriage bed, why should he defend her?

How many more fucking times, they have an open marriage , he has been linked with plenty of other women , she didnt expect him to defend her honour , he just did it because he loves her

Or let's ask: should a man ever be put in a situation where he could damage another, be arrested or go to prison, when the couple could have chosen to walk away rather than ruin lives?

Words vs physicality.

In reality. Using the Alopecia as an excuse, was always just that, an excuse. She has talked openly about losing her hair at her red table show. She posted videos to her fans on some social media about it and about loving it. She's been spotted at different awards and shows with the buzzed look and ardonment on her heard including diamond studs. On multiple occasions, she's been complimented on her new look.

In all likelihood, it probably wasn't the joke that she didn't like. More likely than not it was Rock himself she didn't like. He made a joke about her not coming to the Oscars few years ago. The joke in essence suggested she wasn't the celebrity she thought she was.

I'd be willing to bet top dollar it was that joke that still had her miffed. And her reaction to the GI Jane joke probably had more to do with who was cracking it than what it was.

But either way, it was still Will who acted like trash. No one has to laugh at a joke they don't find funny if they don't want to. So Jada has no issue in my view regardless of her reaction. Will does.

His whole performance from start to finish was a show.
From his initial laughter to anger,the slap which is a peculiar action for someone supposedly seriously miffed,the smirk while strutting back to his seat.
The swearing knowing he was live on air to the tearful contrition while using god and defending women as justification.
A acting performance more worthy of a award than the dross he received one for.

I agree the whole thing looked like him play acting. Which unfortunately is deeply disappointing. I grew up watch Will Smith. And I liked himvaw far back as when folks thought he was corny and not gangster enough.

Oh well. Wish Chris Rock the best. All good can say.
