He was wrong but I blame it on privilege (wealthy and famous) not toxic masculinity."I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow
"I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it." - Mark Twain

I blame it on his relationship witrh his wife. He laughed initially but then he saw her and went up and slapped.
That's what women do to you. They are evil (but they smell so good, it's ok)
On a serious note, I agree it was unacceptable what he did

I voted wrong...
1) he did laugh but I dont know if he was just grinning before he realized the joke was about his wife's bald head - she's hot w/wo hair
2) Rock is a small dude
3) put a major damper on the ceremony and he was a guest
4) I doubt Rock knew about her condition
5) it was a cheap shot
otoh
1) terrible joke, imagine yucking it up over a woman who lost her hair from cancer treatmentsLast edited by Berzerker; March 28, 2022, 13:56.

If we were allowed to smack a comedian every time they made an off colour joke we'd have a lot more dead comedians."I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow

I appreciate his dedication to his wife, but violence is never an acceptable way to handle that type situation."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003

I like both Rock and Smith and I'm disappointed in Will
but he's not that dedicated they have an open marriage and both have had extramarital relationships

Rock may have stepped over the line, but this kind of thing has happened many times on televised awards. See Ricky Gervais, among others.
Will Smith committed assault and battery. There was no need to act out, especially on camera on a global live (OK, almost live) telecast. The fact that he was "defending" his wife does not excuse his behavior.

Will Smith couldn't just sit there and laugh about his wife's condition. A mistake? Yeah, probably.

by comparing her to GI Jane?
Thats not why Smith blew his stack, he thought Rock was making fun of her medical issue with hair loss
I can see having that reaction but I'd hope I gave it some thought first and realized Rock might not know and thinks Jada is making a fashion statement.
I really cant see Rock making that joke if he knew it was medical

Call me a jaded old cynic but:
Interesting that nobody is saying it was all just a big publicity ploy for the Oscars and the actors involved.
Makes me think that's exactly what it was.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011
