Wait did Chris Rock know about Jada's alopecia???? , I didn't think he knew.

If so then it's more insensitive for him to make that joke. But alopecia isn't life threatening like cancer , so unless Rock was just ignorant to the full condition still ?.

I mean i would wonder if she had cancer tbh and done my research to confirm she doesnt
but then at the point of then finding out that she has alopecia id have realised the joke was still distasteful for the oscar stage.

Yeah that's a point I suppose, so a lazy joke really, on a stage that big every joke should be researched for things like that. Still doesn't excuse Will hitting him though

Yeah to be honest I DIDN'T KNOW either that she had alopecia, as people change their hairstyles all the time .

Rock did nothing wrong and infact he was very professional and should be applauded for that.

The security should be ashamed. Smith could have had a weapon on him for all they knew. He should have been kicked out of the venue.

[Beso]

Team smith now, theres someone I would happily bitch slap for no apparent reason at this moment in time.

It's quite surreal, they had a very public relationship, and we're open and honest about EVERY aspect of their marriage. Jadas name was in everyone's mouth as people discussed the Smith family at length.

Why suddenly is she not allowed to be spoken about?..

Ah do you think he's been on the devil's dandruff?

I genuinely think Will Smith is heading for a breakdown

The Devils dandruff now Denzels pep talk makes sense!

I agree though that there's more to his reaction than just that joke. It's not a rational way to behave at a show where you're expecting to get roasted. Its not Wills first time at one of these things

Kizzy it's not a case of she "can't" be spoken about, it's the fact Chris Rock made a silly joke about her hair loss. But I don't think he knew about her alopecia.

Also it turns out there's a history ,and back in 2016 he made a dig about Jada then aswell.

Oh fgs though that isn't really a "history " that was 1 joke a comedian made 8 years ago and again a very mild joke

[Beso]

Do you think he has the power to cancel any usage of his, get my wife's name out your mouth, comment, on meme form?

[UserSince2005]

The more time passes the more shocking this is. The fact that he just got up on stage walked up to him and slapped him lol it’s just ridiculous

[Mystic Mock]

Chris Rock is a Comedian, why can't people just leave them alone rather than acting offended all of the time? I get that Will Smith probably thinks that he was being malicious, but I just think that Chris Rock was trying to do "edgy" humour and it's backfired on him.

Imo Will Smith needs to grow a thicker skin as celebrities get mocked all of the time by Comedians, or they used to anyway.

iirc, on one of her podcasts Jada has said that Chris Rock has been a problem within the Smith family for a long time, so there’s already personal beef embedded in the situation and I’m sorry, but there is a very big difference between making fun of people for the things they do and say and their illnesses that they have no control over, should Will have slapped him? Obviously not, it was ridiculously over the top, however, I don’t buy into the he shouldn’t have been offended narrative, when a joke is aimed at a specific person for a specific uncontrollable situation, people have the right to be offended if it offends them, since when is people having feelings a bad thing? Is everyone supposed to be heartless robots these days or?

I suppose it depends on if Chris Rock was really joking or not for me.

I do feel like people get offended at all sorts of Comedy nowadays though, I mean if Will Smith thinks Chris Rock was mean to his Wife how would he feel if someone like Frankie Boyle made a joke about his Wife? Because no doubt it'd be more offensive.

But some 'jokes' just aren't funny , and Frankie Boyle just seems to enjoy offending people. His joke about Harvey Price was mean spirited and cruel.

I know humour is subjective , and there's alot of boundary pushing going on . But it seems there's beef between the Smith's & Rock by the looks of it. And even when people don't react with violence,we can still see when they hate a joke made about them. People are free to feel how they want but it's how they react to it.

Perfect example is Seth MacFarlane who did a juvenile song about all the actresses 'breasts ' he'd seen on screen, they were all in the audience looking unimpressed.

Smith should have just told Rock that his wife has alopecia and that it's not fair to make jokes about her,and then left it at that . Or better still he could have roasted him back . Instead of resorting to getting physical & angry. It's ashame really.

I get not liking certain jokes, I'm sure we all have jokes that cross the line for us.

I just feel that some people nowadays take Will Smith's approach where it becomes a big drama rather than calmly just saying that the joke wasn't for him.
