Violence is never the answer – no matter how bad or inappropriate a joke may be, says CNA Lifestyle’s Genevieve Loh. Here’s her hot take on the Oscars 2022’s most controversial moment.

television, beamed to millions across the world, and then proceed to yell vulgarities? Twice? AndYes, yes and yes he did.

I was one of the many watching the Oscars and the unexpected fracas played out entirely uncensored to my disbelieving eyes. Because who would have expected any of this to happen the way it did? So why, Willard Carroll Smith II, would you so uncharacteristically use violence in such a public arena to respond to a slight? Moments before what would be one of the biggest moments of your career – winning your first ever, long-coveted Oscar?Sure, it’s important to stand up for your wife. For your family. For all the brickbats one endures being in the harsh celebrity limelight.

Not only did he take it on the chin and continued presenting the Best Documentary Oscar but, according to the Los Angeles Police Department, he is also not going to be pressing any charges for the assault. As comedian-director Judd Apatow said in a now-deleted tweet: “He could have killed him. That's pure out of control rage and violence. They've heard a million jokes about them in the last three decades. They are not freshman in the world of Hollywood and comedy. He lost his mind."

Will Smith still is my favourite actor. As long as all of us are on Earth, nobody's perfect. One boo boo doesn't bring a good man down..

Chris Rock should apologize , and after that Will Smith too should say his apologies too.

Shouldn't

No. What about Chris Rock's insensitive joke on his wife then? so that's ok?... when his joke may have a longer-lasting psychological effect on his wife than the sore Chris got from the deserved slap?

Keep d Oscar. He defended his wife.

He should. This most civilized society condones this kind of public violence.

A best role of criminal

Emotions ; is one thing but getting physical?!

Yes. The Academy should rescind it. Smith selfishly stole the show from all the nominees and the winners. The smugness etched on his face when the 'Awscar' landed in his hands, 🤮. His speech reeked of hypocrisy and 🐂💩! He was blubbering because he was sorry and wounded - NOT!

he should be given another one

Definitely NOT.

No he should not be allowed. First of all, Rock is a comedian, therefore they might accidentally go abit far. Secondly, WS could have just told Rock verbal that he owns his wife a apology instead of smacking him and walking of the stage with a smirk on his face and thinking....

No . He shouldn’t . He won based on his performance as an actor . Smith just lost his temper . For me , Assaulting Cris was not an best decision on this situation . He should have taken this opportunity to bring awareness that this type of joke it’s “ not a nice one “

Violence is NOT ok !!!

For those who justified the violence based on the self-righteousness of defending the honor of one's spouse, I find your warped reasoning & misguided machoism in poor taste. Chris's intent was never to insult Jada. Will Smith was out of line. He did no win. He lost at the Oscars.

Should Chris Rock apologize to Will Smith because provoked him...

As a gentleman, he should

It’s very disgraceful to pull an act like that especially when kids are watching their idol behaving so barbarically. Even if Chris’s joke was too much there are ways to make him apologize and slapping him like a mad idiot certainly was none less than the lesser himself!!

Just a simple question did Chris Rock knew about Will Smith wife condition ?

Nothing bigger than love. Accolades can’t replace the love. WillSmith knows it.

No he deserve it. He laugh, angry turn violence and then cried. Wow..

nope .... he gt it from acting ... not being himself

Best Actor for Slappin'

nobody should be making fun a somebody’s condition. and will smith is just angry that somebody’s making fun of his woman. why return his oscar?

scripted

Why should Will return the Oscar ? Best Actor Oscar has got nothing to do with defending his wife. Who’s this wonder writer from CNA ?

A Man is defined how he defends his wife or his better half, regardless of the consequences. Comedians need to learn where to draw the line.

Of course. Only decent act he can still perform and then disappear.

I’d have bought the whole “defending her” thing a bit more, if he didn’t laugh first.

What an irrelevant question !!! Chris Rock has no right to make cynical comment on WS’s wife who is suffering fm a condition. That’s so insensitive

Why should return the oscar as he earn it. Same to the slap he earn it too

No

Who watched Oscar if there's no drama?

If I were him, I would definitely do the worst. No one has right to say anything about my wife.

Yes

Why is this even a question?

I mean, he perhaps should have won a 'best Actor Oscar' for that pathetic crocodile tear performance.

drama

He doesn’t have to return it because he won it fair and square. But he should never be invited back to the Oscars and should stripped off his Academy membership.

Yes!
