Earlier, Goldberg theorized on what may have provoked Smith’s behavior. “I think it was a lot of stuff probably built up,” she said, noting there had been numerous jokes about Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith over the past few years, including Rock’s 2016 jabs. “I think he had one of those moments where it was just like, ‘Just stop.’ I get it, not everybody acts the way we would like them to under pressure. Some people just snap. He snapped.
Goldberg praised the show overall, including the work of its three hosts — Regina Hall, Amy Schumer and Wanda Sykes — and producer Will Packer. In December of 2017, following its expulsion of Harvey Weinstein, the Academy’s board of governors approved
I thought the haircut had to be for a film, too. GI Jane was a believable comment. I read C Rock knew nada abt why the hair loss, also Jada was amazing in the last Matrix movie and has a good career despite some jabs. Don Rickles never got punched on stage & he insulted them all.
This bitch audacity, she justify Polanski's raping of a fourteen years old girl... Just 4 years ago
Jack Nicholson attacked a man with a golf club in traffic, punched a prostitute, and invited Polanski to his house where he drugged and raped a 13-year-old child. Jack has three Oscars and Polanski has one. If they keep their Oscars, so does Will Smith for defending his wife.
I am
What about the consequences to Chris Rock for his bigoted ableist joke, and to the Academy for allowing it? (No, Smith shouldn't have hit him, but prejudice shouldn't be tolerated.)
Plenty of people are ok with it. Chris Rock won't be saying shit about Jada anymore.
No entity should take the Oscar from Will, He did a fabulous job. The only spot will Smith failed which upsets me horribly. His choice to listen to the enemy when he came whispering in Will's ear is going to have severe consequences... Because we are flesh
I can finally agree w her on something
What consequences?
Typical ridiculous statement of a fool that is WG….its ok to commit the crime if the victim doesn’t press charges.
Aside from pressing charges for Physical Assault, they should not only take the award from him, they should ban him from all future award ceremonies for life. Physical Violence is Violence. No serious consequences is to condone it. Jokes are just words. Sticks & Stones.
I can't believe they're taking Whoopi's Oscar away, but collective guilt is collective guilt.
Slap? Let’s call it what it was, it was an assault. To call it a slap is to make it sound like they were playing patty-cake.
Then the academy is endorsing the assault. They can take away and should. Disgraceful
The voting had been done! They should not take it, he earned it. However, he should have been escorted out last night and arrested for battery. He should not have been physically allowed to accept his Oscar
Oh shut up WhoopiGoldberg ! Are you seriously going to make excuses for this?! therealroseanne loses her her show because of a tweet, even you were suspended over a statement you made. He has no problem with adultery, but takes issues with a joke?! He assaulted him! takeitback
Yeah , cause the world cares what Whoopi & co. Think.
They absolutely should take his Oscar away from him!! He disrespected and embarrassed the entire community!!!
They damned well SHOULD TAKE IT!!! That tells me exactly what I need to know if they don't. Privilege is everything. Rules, behavior, decorum, respect all mean nothing as long as you are in the elite few. Starting to wonder if the kooks on the right have a point.
It would be the ultimate hypocrisy... (I lived through 4yrs of TFG so that's saying something.)
