Will Smith slaps Chris Rock at the Oscars

Wasn't talking about the reaction of Smith, I'm just surprised and a bit saddened that so many feel the need to defend Chris Rock to the hilt over a really tastless joke.

Why should she wear a wig? Just to stop people like you and Chris Rock laughing at her?

I wasn't laughing at her ffs. Its WS I was having a go at.

Why the fuck would I laugh at a lady with cropped hair? Do me a favour and don't try and guess my nature and I promise that I won't second guess yours.

You said that she should wear a wig so that people wouldn't notice her baldness and presumably make fun of it thus making her feel uncomfortable. That's really poor reasoning do you not think?

I just grouped you with Chris Rock because he made fun of her and you think it's fine.
 
So if I'm getting this right, a lot of people on here think alopecia is off limits for jokes, even further and that if a comedian makes a joke about it then smacking them in the face is fair game.

Fuck me, we really are in a shit state of affairs.

As the whole incident becomes more distanced I'm finding I'm more appalled to be honest.
What the hell did we witness?
I'm not saying take the award off Smith or anything remotely like it, but to have people saying that it's ok to assault someone because of a bit of banter is ridiculous.
Hollywood has always been a cesspit of hypocrisy, sleaze and "power" individuals but this just encapsulated it.

The Oscars should take back the award.

Any other 'incident', in its dodgy history, happened away from the stage and that's a different story, but Smith getting the award is actually condoning the violence that the Oscars (laughingly) says it doesn't condone!

If Rock doesn't change his mind and sue Smith he, too, is allowing the acceptance for people to display their displeasure to all and sundry because it 'comes without consequence'.

I know Rock, ironically, doesn't want to harm another Black man, but this is a repercussion that's far beyond that.
 
I don't get this.
Rock made a quick throwaway pun about someone's hair, her husband gave him the worst slap I've ever seen, Rock carried on as if nothing happened, husband later cried.
If Smith was offended why didn't he deck him instead of fannying about.
Rock should have given him a nice little undercut as he feigned his turnaway.
For someone who has supposedly trained in boxing to play Ali, that was pretty poor.
If you decide to defend your missus, at least do it convincingly.
