Did smacking Chris Rock hurt Will Smith's career at all even? I don't recall people being against Will Smith, more like that Chris Rock shouldn't have been talking poo poo about Jada's medical issues.

I'm quite willing to be corrected, but as far as I was aware it was just the latest in a gigantic list of pathetic ignominy, including (but not limited to) his wife telling him she cucked him on live tv.

He hasn't had a hit in forever, Suicide Squad got slammed, they couldn't get Michael Bay for Bad Boys III, his wife fucks his son's friends and tells people, and he came off like a massive over-sensitive caveman for slapping Chris Rock.

Both of them are loving nuts. Jada is a rather cruel woman and loving hates Will with every fiber of her being and Will is like a cult member and just takes it and begs for more. No wonder their kids are a bit loopy.

Thing is of all that Chris Rock was mocking her for her hair, which iirc had fallen out because of chemotherapy or something similar, which is kinda the situation where you're an rear end in a top hat if you DON'T slap the comedian across the kisser

Watching her show, the way she talks to him and about him she's clearly dripping with either hatred or regret. That's the impression I get. I mean she's even getting a bit delusional about her relationship with Tupac saying it was her that he proposed to when he was in jail. Other accounts state otherwise. I'm just on mobile right now otherwise I'd post some videos.

No, it was alopecia. Which I guess you shouldn't make fun of either but she's got a full head of hair aside from a small spot, she just shaved her head at the time.

You know, there's a simple solution to this.

Get a divorce. If you're not happy in a relationship any more, admit it has ended and move on. What's that? You don't want to do that for XYZ reasons, probably financial and ego related? Then you're just basically inviting more pain and suffering. The power is always in your hands to change things.

So many warning signs like Gemini Man where he’s costarring with a CGI younger version of himself, or After Earth where he tried to claim of all the available actors his son was the best qualified.

Would have been fascinating to see live reaction of Apple executives watching the Slap, when they had poured a ton into Emancipation & were expecting the narrative to be a best actor win and maybe Oscars for Apple TV, but felt like the release got quietly handled.

Like lol given the bar for celebrity insanity these days slapping Chris Rock barely even wobbles the bar

If anything it's some refreshing actual passion from a dude who seems to be terminally milquetoast and keeps overthinking his career to the point where everything he's in is garbage because he won't take any risks

It’s also incredibly :yikes: that she was heckled for her hair, from Chris Rock, director of documentary “Good Hair”, a documentary about the poo poo black people, especially black women, get for their hair.

During all that crazy, at some point, Jada went out and said "oh yeah me and will are basically estranged and don't even sleep in the same house anymore so everyone is making this into a big deal"

Which, really, just made everyone go "wait what the gently caress"

I'm definitely on Chris Rock's side there, he said she could star in GI Jane because she was looking kinda tough and military. It's not like he said "hey Jada, Automatic For The People was your best album" or anything like that

I swivel on it - I don't think it was a "let's all laugh at the bald woman" moment, and I think he would have made the same joke if her hair was cut short for fashion reasons or a role or something, but a bit of reflection on it might have made him think to maybe leave that one on the discard pile given her reasons for styling her hair that way.

Yea if the comedian makes a bad joke they can be up there on stage looking bad and then get flack for it afterwards. Or hell even if Will went up and told him 'hey that was out of line please apologize' that would still have been pretty weird. The Slap made me feel he's very insecure.

The really dumb thing about the slap was that Smith was going to be on stage with the microphone in his hand in like, 20 minutes and could have addressed it then. Or if he lost then someone would have put a microphone in his face at some point in the night regardless. He overreacted because at, first he laughed at the joke then tried to get his reverse course back.

He just reminds me of a dude I know in a really lovely relationship with a wife who clearly doesn't love him, who overcompensates by being really defensive about his wife. Can't say a bad thing about her. It probably settles his heart to think, "well at least no one can say I didn't try my hardest." Will Smith should just get a divorce

Yeah but you gotta understand the hold Jada has on him. This has been going on for decades. There are stories from the start of the marriage where she'd show up to the set of The Legend of Bagger Vance to throw golf balls at him if did what she'd call a "plan b take".
