They don’t want to get slapped too.

Willsmithinu is gonna make us all rich! 🚀🌙🔥🎰💵🤡🌎

Because it's not a pattern. He's going to be in big movies because everybody loves will Smith

It takes ages to gain a good name n respect and needs mere 10 seconds to loose it..damn 🤦‍♂️

Sometimes money doesn’t talk.

Will Smith sealed the deal on his career. He knew how comedy went being in the business of entertainment but he ignored the rules. There’s plenty of fish in the sea.

Hypocrisy everywhere

According to his punk ass kids, that’s how the family “do it” he means does it. All that money will smith got and his kids still want to act like they gangster

Of course they do. It's PR

They won’t do anything because it is C.R.E.A.M.

Will smith 👉 he didn't have to slap the producer, he did entertain people and whenever and wherever you heard the same 'joke' yes it's true that the audience didn't have to laugh at Will Smith's wife - because of the hairstyle! but also a slap was not necessary!

Don't blow it all out of proportion, don't insult a man's wife.or you will suffer the consequences.

Chris is naturally beaten Do you allow Smith's slap, but do you allow Chris' verbal violence? Oscar executives who allow verbal violence are less than feces

They're waiting to see what lines will play best.

Violence never the answer. There's an adult way to deal with it later. Like two adults. Pull his Oscar.

It's a belligerent violent culture

Woke leadership. Hypocrite’s

Waiting to see which way public opinion goes...
