Will Smith won an Oscar but its not the Reason why people are talking about him
Will Smith Should be celebrating tonight because he won Best Actor in a motion picture. His performance in King Richard finally won him the elusive awards. He had been robbed of winning the Oscars throughout the years. I still believe he deserved an Oscar when he got nominated for The Pursuit of Happiness. However, that prestige and recognition got covered up by the controversy. People thought it was scripted at first, but it is accurate. The man who was known to be chill finally lost his cool when Chris Rock made a Joke out of Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair. Rock, Shaded her by saying she will be starring in a G.I Jane 2. G.I Jane is a Demi Moore film where the actress shaved off her hair because she plays a female navy seal.

It was an awkward moment that made people silent because they couldn’t believe what they had just witnessed. Apparently, Smith lost his cool because his house was going through a condition called Alopecia. Its condition is more common in men but also occurs in women. Alopecia patients are suffering from hair loss. Three Years ago, Jada did an interview where she admitted that she was going through hair loss.
Hair is a sensitive issue to women, let alone Black women, because it is harder for them to grow hair. It is a hard decision for her to just embrace her condition that she cannot control. 2 months ago, she had come to terms with her hair loss and showed the world her bald head. A woman’s hair is her crowning glory, so it is not an easy situation for her.
Will Smith’s Night ended on a positive note because he got to win the Best Actor Award. Mostly Actors thank a list of people whenever they won an award, but Smith explained his side on why he ended up acting on impulse and losing his cool.

Chris Rock’s jokes are below the belt and sensitive, so he deserves that humiliation. Comedians always hide behind a shield that “it’s just comedy.”

You should not stoop to the level of someone who is making an offensive Joke. I don’t tolerate violence and will even refuse to apologize to Chris while Chris remained professional the whole night.

Twitter got a Field day with all the Memes created out of this fiasco. Andrew Garfield is on Twitter tight away reading the feeds.

It was uncencored in my country’s TV so Will was really saying foul words to Chris Rock after the smack. He had enough of him after Rock’s Jokes about Jada years ago.

Jada is lucky to find a man who will defend her from bullies. Now that is a real man! He is not afraid what people will say if he give a bully the punishment they deserve! Chris Rock has always been annoying to me. Most Stand up Comedians are because they think they are untouchable.

Anyone who feels the joke was “too far or insensitive and had crossed the line” doesn’t understand humor. There are few boundaries, and if you can’t laugh at or make light of a bad situation, you’re likely to be unhappy and damaging. Will has the right to defend his wife, but hitting someone on live television, particularly during a prestigious occasion like the Oscars, is unacceptable.

In that apology, I didn’t hear him say Chris Rock! Will, and Jada, Go hide under a rock if you can’t take a harmless read. I can’t believe he’d do something like that. Chris Rock, on the other hand, handled the situation admirably. As you can see, he is completely unfazed. Will Smith, that’s not cool.

Getting hit in the face is inevitable to Stand Up comics especially during roasts. They should find a way to make people laugh without rubbing someone the wrong way. Comedy on the expense of someone’s feelings has always been making me uncomfortable. I avoid comedy bars because I know I am sensitive from jokes because I have ptsd from getting tease on school.

The academy now stated that they have launched an investigation and will explore further actions. It’s amazing how Chris Rock maintained his composure and proceeded, even making joke of himself being slapped. Maybe the show wouldn’t go on if he had hit back.

No Need for investigation. Chris Rock has been targeting Jade with his roast every opportunity he had. Will should have confronted him in the backstage instead though.

Will loves Jada, and he still defends her even if she has cheated on him before. She is very public about her entanglements, and Chris Rock’s previous jokes are about it.

This is bigger than just the two of them apologizing to each other.
This night was not a “Will Smith ONLY Night”. This night was a night that was supposed to be the high point in the careers of many people in the entertainment industry and all everybody was talking about was … Will Smith SLAPPED Chris Rock.
Then they awarded Will Smith an Oscar.

There is no debating this, Personally, I didn’t think Chris Rock’s joke was really all that offensive. But I think Will Smith’s reaction and what he did … OFFENDED EVERY INDIVIDUAL WHO WAS NOMINATED AND/OR WHO RECEIVED AN ACADEMY AWARD THAT NIGHT.

I just realized Jada and Chris Rock starred on a movie together before. They were both in Madagascar. So maybe that’s why Chris Rock was confident to roast her because they had been colleagues in a successful film franchise.

He got a 10 year ban but the award is his the academy said. He won’t be able to attend events in person or virtually during this period.

If I were the director and producer of G.I Jane, I would make G.I Jane 2 a thing now because this is the free publicity it needed.
