Anyone watching the Oscars? Will Smith just slapped Chris Rock and cussed him out

You people are nuts. What part of OPEN MARRIAGE don't you understand? Will Smith has boned more women than I've probably even known in my life. This one person with Jada that many of you keep bringing up is hardly her only one too.

Man, I certainly don't want to defend that a$$hole Will Smith, but he's not emasculated at all...only in the minds of those of you who don't understand.

I'm sorry, but allowing your middle aged wife to sleep with 20 year old guys is really messed up on so many levels. They have no respect for each other.

Wow. You are a dumb@ss.

It was clear as day from the beginning that this was not staged, and now after all that has happened since, it is crystal clear it isn't. Why would Will Smith agree to be involved in such nonsense? None of this makes him look good at all.

No publicist of either Rock or Smith would allow this to happen. Will Smith COULD have just been on the top of the world as a winner of Best Actor, but he forever sullied his award, a night when a TON of minorities won awards, when the producer of the show was a minority. One of my favorites, Quest Love, didn't get his proper time in the sun.

How can anyone in their right mind believe this was staged? It wasn't. I knew from the moment it happened that it wasn't. Clear as day. I am constantly shocked at the lack of observations powers so many of you out there have.

It's not a lifestyle I choose or that most people choose, but we have freedom in this country to do that if we wish. Again, you are wrongly doing what others are doing...thinking of this as him ALLOWING her to sleep with other men. This is their agreement. They have talked about this so much that I know about it even though I don't follow anything they say and could not care less what they do. They believe they don't own each other or their sexuality, and they have an OPEN MARRIAGE that they BOTH use to have sex with other people. I'm not sure that's a lack of respect for each other. It's just a lifestyle choice.

No one cares about Quest Love . Keep him in the back ground . F k Chris Rock , another foul mouth , just like Little Kevin Hart . Too many old people running the the Oscars , I would have more respect for both if Smith full on sucker punched him , and Rock finish his segment with a bloody nose . Then it would be over , and we wouldn’t have a day of press releases written by publicist .

I'll wait to see how Chris Rock responds to this lame ass apology before I make any final decisions about it. He acted like a child. He says he's a "work in progress." Well, a 53-year-old man should be further along in his progress than to behave like that.

If Chris Rock actually accepts his apology and forgives him, then I may be able to, but we'll see. If Chris Rock just says something like "we should just all move on," then that's not really forgiveness.

Even if I decide Will Smith is sincere with his apology, I will never look at him the same way again. He's one of the best actors to ever be on a television show. I posted his monologue from his Fresh Prince of Bel Aire show here once upon a time about him being upset that his father didn't want to spend time with him. It's truly one of the best pieces of acting that has ever been on the small screen. It's a shame he had to be such an a$$hole. I completely disrespect him now.

He's not the first famous person to lose my respect, and he won't be the last.

Bill Clinton

Bill Cosby

Alec Baldwin (from his many boorish behavior episodes, not the shooting thing)

Tiger Woods

Mel Gibson

Sleeping with people half your age is not a lifestyle choice in my opinion, it is downright cringy. I guess we disagree.

1) LOTS of people care about Quest Love. Dude may never win another Oscar. His moment in the sun was overshadowed BIG TIME by that ridiculousness.

2) No, F*CK Will Smith.

3) Chris Rock uses foul language. So what? I'm not fond of his n-word bit, but overall he's pretty funny and appears to be a decent guy. In any event, he did not deserve what Will Smith did to him.

4) If Smith used a fist and Chris Rock had a bloody nose as a result this would be over? Um...WTF are you talking about?

You should add Biden to that list because of his sexual assault of Tara Reid .

I would add .

Obama

Larry Bird

Joe Montana

Condi Rice

All the Kennedy brothers

I didn't say it wasn't cringy. But, of course it is a lifestyle choice. What are you talking about? The choice to have an OPEN MARRIAGE is a lifestyle choice. Hollywood men and women sleeping with others half their age is quite common. I agree that it's cringy, but it's common. We don't really disagree. You just don't understand their arrangement.

Um...no on Biden. Unfounded...and it's Tara Reade. Her friends all say she's nuts. No reason to believe her.

I definitely respect Obama. I never really respected any of the Kennedys.

I never respected Condi Rice.

I do not know anything about Larry Bird or Joe Montana to make me disrespect them. Maybe you can enlighten me there.

I don't think you understand my point. From what I understand she was over the age of 40 sleeping with a 22 year old. Will Smith I guess encouraged this? Being in Hollywood doesn't change anything about how messed up that arrangement is. So we do disagree.

I am not going to read over a dozen pages and 250 posts, if this has been said, I will say it again.

Will Smith would not have allowed himself to get so emotional about C. Rock's joke if W. Smith had not been cheating on his wife for years.

*** This is the most important sentence: Will Smith would not have slapped a famous multimillionaire White person, Jew or Gentile. Will Smith knew if he would have slapped a famous multimillionaire White person, W. Smith would have been arrested and ruined in Hollywood. [I know movie studios are not actually in Hollywood.]

Who is Quest Love ? Was he yelling at Rock . Usually TMZ are the best source for all things Hollywood , they didn’t mention this dude at all. You are wrong , Quest Love is not even involved in this .

Like Ali he only slapped with his punches, at first I thought the incident was as real as wrestling fight, but the foul mouth he said was too salty to be on network tv. So something was up, maybe they can a celebrity boxing match on Triller?

A lot of Trumpers in this thread pretending race doesn't matter.

One of the most disrespectful acts one man can do to another man is slap a man in the face. There is a reason for phrase, b!tch slapped. No celebrity match. C. Rock grew up hard in NYC. W. Smith made it worse partying so hard and showing no contrition afterwards. Yeah, yeah, Smith apologized to the Academy and his fellow actors. So what. C. Rock knows people. What Smith did was out of bounds.

...yes, and the box office ringing its arse off at the King Richard showings, queues miles long

And some try to say let'srun is not a magnet for r a c i s t s.
