Slap slap slapity slap 👋

Hi all

Wow only just saw it after I finished my overnight shift. Wtf? I hope they led him out of the Oscars straight after that incident, if not... Well they just reinforced violence to the masses

willsmith This is bad...

Yes, he saw it as an expression of him being a 'vessel of love' or something. Weird.

Thank you Will Smith for giving us an example to show children on what not to do when offended by words. Hitting someone cause the person said something nasty to you is not the way to go. But thank you Mr Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

Black privilege, insecure marriage, insane ego. Toxic combo. arrestwillsmith

Staged

Either the non white / Caucasian form a parallel movie universe, or stop being overly sensitive and do PDA. A think roasting as a pass time originated in the USA? if your sensitive about your medical condition, stay away. Crying victim!! What will you do at a stand up show

So proud of WilllSmith WillAndChris to draw a boundary between comedy and body shaming.

Acknowledged? WTF does that mean

whatjusthappened

don't take it seriously LMAO these are all scripted as hilarious LOLX just don't ever do that without watching i am saying cause i have seen these kinda sh** more and more from shows

Violence over a Joke being acceptable is what then graduates to the justification of the murder and beheading of Danish cartoonists and Charlie Hebdo journalists. Hollywood Elites & Media should be ashamed for clapping and awarding this man with mental issues.

Ma chudaye

Chris should have slapped back

Yes. He acted so well in speech time.

Kind of inappropriate to joke on someone's medical condition. Alopecia can be mentally damaging. Just 'coz it's not cancer doesn't mean it's not serious or it gives someone the right to joke about it.

He was laughing. That was a cheap shot. I used to love Will Smith and all of his years of hard work. Its all gone now. How dare you!!!!

So is the world just going to accept the violence of Will Smith and let it be? Celebrate him? WillSmith Something very, very wrong here.

Can someone please show this clip to Delhi's CM & Standup comedian of India who unnecessary utter bad word with smile and thought it looks cool, no bro You hurting someone sentiments with your smile... KejriwalExposed KashmiriHindus YouTubeParDalDo WillAndChris

Chris you handled the situation well you have me support brother

I feel willsmith should have restricted himself... whatever rock said he said it in a comedic setting while performing. Comedians stay rough stuff while performing.

Bald men have been the butt of jokes since forever... Ill boycott WS movies

“Acknowledged” is a stretch. He scapegoated and whines about being a victim and basically called Chris Rock the devil. Get outta here with that bullshit.

He is a actor. So tears mean nothing. arrestwillsmith

WillSmith at The Oscars had a high and a low point in the same night. High point : winning an Oscar as BestActor. Low point : Slamming ChrisRock. Oscars Oscar Oscars2022 Oscar2022 OscarsFanFavorite willsmithchrisrock WillSmithPunch actors hollywood JaneCampion

सर्वांना विनंती आहे की, हा व्हिडिओ शेअर करा आणि हो, व्हिडीओ कृपया पुर्ण बघा.

Yeah. Fuck his tears. If you can't take a joke, be vocal. Not physically violent.

'It wasn't me, it was OJ'.

Here's the full video. Epic 😳😳😳😳

LOOOOL he smacked tf out of chris and chris took it as a homie thing

That wasn't apology. He was just glorifying violence hence , bull speech

george w. bush should Slap lenno thousands Times 😀😀 coz of his Joke

Despicable! Why didn't he have to leave? If I were his wife I would have knocked him down for 'defending' me (the paternalistic routine sucks). For what? At worst a lame joke Not gonna watch any Smith movie anymore!

He did not apologize.

But did he take the name of Chris Rock while apologizing?

Why was Will Smith allowed to stay front row for the rest of the show when he had just assaulted a person? I didn’t like what Chris Rock said but it doesn’t condone his behaviouror the academy for letting him stay!

Will smith's marriage is open to everything except Jokes 😂

Proud of What Will Smith did,He was my hero forever. ThePursuitofhappiness and SevenPounds.

But he didn’t touch him. His punches he throws in movies are more convincing than that and they’re not particularly convincing. It was staged. If it wasn’t Chris rock should bring assault charges. Then we’ll see if this shits real

He didn’t apologize or show remorse. He went off on a rambling tangent that made no sense during his acceptance speech. Disgraceful behavior. Ruined the entire night.

Tomorrow morning all the talk show hosts / desperate things will be booking WillSmith to promote violence and disgrace his own people even further! Crying 😂😂😂😂. Give it a rest!

Will Smith can do one. He didn't care about his actions, his true colours have come out. Get ready for the media crocodile tears for him.

Typical excuse from a god fearing man. 'A devil will test you ' bro what you did wasn't the work of the devil. You did that.

If Smith was white and had said: 'now polish my shoes, boy' the drama would have been bigger than Ukraine.

'acknowledged' We all saw it!

Acting skills. PR team would of been all up in his ear to fix it asap

Seen what happened. Full video

😋

He should have apologised to his wife and every other person who worked so hard for making it about himself. Is his wife his property?

This nigga smith just “protected” someone who cheated on him? Damn Will, you need to grow some balls

Will shld HV controlled his emotions coz his win is now overshadowed by what he did to chrisrock , white folks constantly want reasons to speak badly of black people in general, to then watch two black men act a mess & choose Violence is just a no!no!🚮 Oscars WillAndChris

For the love of God how is an Oscars2022 Host saying “Jada, I love ya. G.I.Jane 2 can’t wait to see it, all right?” be a justifiable excuse for WillSmith or anyone for that matter to disrespect himself, his upbringing & professional ethics & go slap ChrisRock 😳😳😳

Well done

Will smith obviously laughed to the joke Chris made about Jada, so why is he so angry....

Will Smith should have been denied his Oscar after the violent strike at Chris. But it was a headline catcher for the awards.

👍👍👍

I don't understand why he punched him because he was laughing. Then oops wifey is not happy, damn I thought Chris was funny. OMG let me man up then boom, he punched Chris. Who does that? Will should take anger management classes. He can't take jokes

Slapped him straight into August

What would have happened if a white man slapped a black man on stage at the Oscars!! This this have been treated the same….

Not falling for it. It looks scripted.

Since when did a soft as butter slap in the face become 1st degree murder? What a bunch of pussies in here. Warning to the world....insult any of my family members publicly like that and a polite slap in the face is the least you'll expect in return. Lock me up now.

And blaming the devil…

What WillSmith did was wrong. You don't slam someone over a bad joke before hundreds of millions of people. ChrisRock's joke wasn't of the finest, but maybe he simply didn't know that JadaPinkettSmith 's haircut was health related. Nobody's perfect, neither Chris nor Will.

You should be very careful now my brother I always love you🙄

Clone malfunction

Can't she get a wig or something to remedy that

America is trying to STOP the violence! Trying to teach our children to use theirs words to talk things out NOT to HIT. Will Smith showed our children to hit a person then walk away like a PUNK ( he did the punk walk not cool) disgusting move on Will’s part! Bad example!

He never apologised to Chris Rock!

But Chris he's a joke guy, come on Smith,, everybody was laughing just Smith becomes emotional

No he hasn’t acknowledged it. He apologised to everybody except Chris. Was the joke in poor taste? Yes. But comedy is always going to Be poking fun at somebody. rickygervais is caustic and sharp has anyone hit him yet? No. Will became a violent troll shame

Very staged, no security? Yeah righto lol

It wasn't right for the Grammy to continue and give him the award. They should have set an example, we have too much violence going on around the world and black on black should not be allowed especially for a stupid reason like that. He was laughing at the jokes.

Pendant que nous parlons ici de Will Smith, veuillez diffuser la chanson de mon ami.

No lie, he sounded like Mike Lowrey there😅

WillAndChris Will demonstrating his tribal heritage. GetaSenceOfHumour Uptight LostAllRespect

His behaviour was not acceptable. Violence is never the answer

But this is what comedians do for a living though

Hollywood BS.

He is crazy

Chillout a little bit Will. Try out this channel so you can control your impulses:

Chris joking about Jada's med condition was poor and distasteful. However,Will WAS LAUGHING ALONG. And whatever the context was in this case, it is still assault.

Who will Rock Chris with a slap? Smith Will WillandChris

willsmith chrisrock Smith Will Rocks Chris 🌚

Will Simp🤦🏾‍♂️

It should have ended in a cold war instead of physical assault.

What does 'acknowledge the incident' mean ? 😂

Will Smith: 'Keep my wife's name out of your mouth Evil Reply: Apparently you couldn't keep it off August's D**k 🤫😝🙃

Will Smith now remembered for all the wrong reasons. Nothing honorable or justifiable in his actions.

It was just a joke from Chris Rock. Will Smith did not need to go out gun blazing at least the guy also told jokes about other people there Las las both of them na my guys. Will Smith bringing his acting roles to live 🤪🤪 Chris Rock taking his Nine to Five job too seriously🤪🤪

Scripted! Let's Move On..

Let's be fair with this headline, he didn't apologise rather used a vague colloquial statement about gratitude and love

Assuming the comedian is of white skin, I doubt if Will would have slap the person....

DENZEL WASHINGTON TO WILL SMITH BE CAREFUL AT YOUR HIGHEST MOMENT IS WHEN THE DEVIL COMES OUT. Retweet and watch the full video. Its not okay oscars willsmithjadachrisrocktherockwillandchris

This act is dangerous for all the comedians across the world. Will Smith should be penalise.

BLACK, RICH CELEBRITY physically & verbally assaults person on global TV event not charged with crime. Makes mockery of movements BLM, MeToo , stop domestic violence, stop war, equality for all etc. BLACK, RICH CELEBRITY above the law, his arrogance & privilege matters only

He didn't acknowledge shit. He never once mentioned Chris Rock by name, never once apologised to Chris Rock himself, never once attempted to make amends for his shameful display. Man made his NAME as a wordsmith but had none of the right words this time.

If Will Smith's award is taken away, you need to do the same for SEXUAL ABUSER AND HARASSER Harvey Weinstein. 80 awards should be thrown in the dustbin.

Do you think will smith did the right thing here? WillSmith WillAndChris Oscars

WillSmith fu¢ked up his TheAcademy best actor win because of his exaggerated reaction 👎. Full marks to chrisrock for how gracefully he tackled the situation. WillAndChris willchris Oscars AcademyAwards

shameless deed by will smith

Wow. Smith Will slap a Rock because he's maritally Jaded?

Just Imagine If It was KEVIN HART, That made that Joke And Got Slapped By WILL Live On Stage.

No he didn't acknowledge shit...

Ffs really ?

Should Be stripped of it He's violent End of

Such a shame he did that ShameOnWillSmith that's disgusting . I really use to respect him as an actor but not now .

The joke was in bad taste but that doesn't give you the right to use violence.

DO NOT JUSTIFY HIS ACT! HE DID NOT APOLOGIZE DIRECTLY TO HIM, HE DIDN'T EVEN TAKE HIS NAME! Nuh-uh! You getting paid by Smith's PR team?

thalaivar169 update

That's how a man Do it👌🏻

Will Smith's speech at the Oscars was just a way to justify violence. Those crocodile tears can't cover his shame! Oscars

This is absolutely ridiculous man can’t even take a joke, and so now it’s acceptable to assault someone if you’re getting an Oscar

Smith didn't acknowledge a damn thing... don't try and make out like this is excusable.

I would have loved Chris Rock to slap him back!! Oscar’s are struggling, good publicity stunt!!

He did not acknowledge the incident in his speech. Will should’ve been thrown out of the oscars soon after the incident. What happened was unacceptable. If you can’t take a joke, don’t go for such events. Sit at home.

I'm glad Chris didn't apologise for the joke. And I hope he never does.

That’s usually how abusive men apologize, with tears running down their face. Violence is never the answer. Clearly Will has no self control.

Bullcrap

Strip Will Smith Of Oscar ! Sign The Petition !

This is disgraceful behaviour

So totally staged.

And actors gonna act. 😐

Will Smith in damage control. He should apologise to Chris

Chris is a comedian, comedians make jokes about people and they always have, it's nothing new. Chris didn't tell a nasty joke. Will assaulted a comedian who was working on live television. Will should be charged with a felony and owes Chris an apology. chrisrock

Yeah but had the other Rock said that joke, w smith would have done nothing! His true character is revealed.

I never trust any American who drags God into anything. Including not when that American has just physically assaulted a person in front of millions of witnesses. I hope Smith does NOT get away with it. I really do hope that.

Love Chris Rock! Will, not so much.

WillSmith ZelenskiySlap

Real as it gets. I would have defended myself- Smith would have gotten his ass kicked on national television. 🤣

If this was real, then why aren’t the police investigating it? He clearly assaulted another person in front of thousands of eye witnesses. A best it’s aggravated assault

Chris Rick needs to apologize to Jada Pinket Smith for the disrespect joke about her Alopecia condition!

If it is for real than it is disgusting by Will Smith, should be banned from future Oscars, he needs anger managment classes and should definitely be charged for assault

Will

A common excuse from an abuser is that 'love will make you do crazy things' about 5 minutes after they hit someone. Oscars needed a domestic violence trigger warning tonight. That escalated to violence so quickly it makes you wonder what else he handles this way. 🤔

Tears streaming down his face. Give me a break. He should’ve been arrested.

What tedcruz should have done to Trump but TedCruzHasNoBalls

He belongs in jail.

Will Smith’s anger is just as bad as an unruly airplane passenger. Uncontrolled anger / action isn’t allowed. Love as reason for violence isn’t allowed. The TheAcademy needs to come out w a statement.

He tried to justify his actions within the depths of his speech. He should be arrested.

Toxic masculinity is alive and well.

Peak black on black violence.

what a bitch

He did not acknowledge it at all. Staged.

Shame on Will Smith. It was a joke, albeit a tasteless one. So unprofessional of him. On live TV. Embarrassing.

He did? By basically saying… “Chris look what you made God make me do!”

RealWillSmithFP is a hypocrite and a vessel for nothing. The simple fact that he was able to deliver a speech after his actions makes the academy hypocrites as well. This behavior of his also goes against the Williams sisters' entire brand. What an embarrassment. Oscar

Will should have put his hands on August alsina for blowing his wife’s back out not Cris rock for making a joke

I was looking just like Lupita Nyong'o during that craziness aka the theslap with Will Smith and Chris Rock Oscars2022 Oscar AcademyAwards2022 Oscar2022

“We don’t talk about Jada, No, No.”

Smith seems like a bit of an over dramatic knob and he proved it tonight. It’s a joke and then he goes on with a self serving speech and the academy doesn’t cut it, when they cut the director of Drive My Car after like 20 seconds. If Chris sued I’d completely understand.

I think the world needs to see this kind of stuff, not everyone’s gonna let you just run your mouth 😂

Will Smith is disgusting
