I would like to see if the korean reaction was the same had this happened between a famous korean actor and comedian

Damn, never thought Will Smith would release an apology. Dude really spelled out bigger person lol.

Okay, guess we can move on now right?

Chris Rock isn't pressing charges. Will apologized.

Don't know if Chris will accept it. That's for him to decide, but this is all everyone has been talking about today. Me included.

Just imagine what would happen if a White actor had slapped Chris Rock and you will have your answer.

interesting

I've always said one has to bear the consequences of one's actions - apology or not

Quote from TheHeretic

Just imagine what would happen if a White actor had slapped Chris Rock and you will have your answer.

or if one of the 3 stooges made the joke instead of Chris Rock and Will slapped her.

No this wouldn't happen here in Korea. Not because our entertainment industry is more " professional" it's because the ridiculous high standards in place would get whoever did the assault cancelled,jailed and sued all in night even if the attack could be morally justified.

As for this situation? I think it was rather dumb of him to do it and speak volumes about his own life and his relationship more than it does about chris. Let's look at the facts he was laughing at the joke and only changed tune because of her reaction. Second the joke in question did not seem bad he refences her to gi Jane. Who was a admirable strong woman warrior. If anything I'd consider that a compliment. Second it's kinda funny you would hit your close friend for this, over someone who is manipulative and has hurt you multiple times and cheats on you.

Yet that's the hill you chose to die on?

Chris Rock doing aegyo...I would pay to see that.

Chris Rock should apologize tho, and he deserved the slap

Now Jada (the woman) is manipulating Will (the man)? Ok... Uhum... Ok... and now all jokes are ok!!! Great!!

The funny thing is: if a comedian did a "unfunny" joke about kpop their career would be over

Quote from SandyBee3

You haven’t seen their Red Table Talk from 2 years ago ?

Also you think a woman isn’t capable of doing so ? Why cause men are mentally stronger than women to not be manipulated by them it only works the other way round?

People actually thought the joke was funny, everyone including Will himself laughed. It wasn’t funny anymore after he went over to slap him. Than it got serious.

Depends on the Kpop joke and who is targeted. Also just because you (not you, but in general) don’t think a joke was funny, doesn’t mean it was unfunny in a general sense. You have the right to not find something funny, you got the right to even feel offended. But that doesn’t mean it’s the same with for others.

What i don't understand is how "manipulation" is being used as an argument here over THE MAN "MISTAKE".

The joke was unnecessary imo, idc about you guys giving free pass to comedians, some of them are s

Quote from SandyBee3

The manipulation wasn’t in reference to this situation here. He was clearly in the wrong here, completely his responsibility lol. Nobody is blaming Jada for this, she can defend herself and like I mentioned earlier in this Thread I don’t like this whole “ man getting violent to protect his women honor “ thing. It’s pathetic.

But talking about manipulation here is the same as trying to link it to the situation. It doesn't need to be talked right now or on a thread where she is just a victim

Quote from SandyBee3

And yes Will thought it was funny at first too until he saw his wife’s facial expression.

He lost it because it was a build up. The past 2 years he and his wife have been the center of many jokes they, tbh, set themself up with.

It's amazing how people keep ignoring this

Idk but if you watch the Red table with them , it seems like there is a lot of manipulation from her side

I don't think he was manipulated in this particular incident because there was barely time for that but it just makes you wonder about what kind of relationship they have if he goes from laughing to punching in 5 seconds after seeing how pissed she is

We could say it is not our business but it was them who talked their dirty laundry in public in the first place so ofc even now people are assuming stuff

Quote from SandyBee3

I don’t think they really care tho. It’s a hot topic and many want to leave their two cents.

On Twitter some people already managed to make it about themself. Now there is a fraction that sees in Will someone who commits domestic abuse towards Jada or his kids and it reminds them of their troubled childhood were their Dads were abusive.

Whaaaat

why am I still surprised sighs

Because she is known to manipulate him, notice during the event he himself laughed at this joke. He fully heard and understood what was said. He only changed his stance once she showed disapproval for the joke. Keep in mind this joke wasn't even considered disrespectful. She is known to shave her hair because of her illness. Now wether Chris knew or didn't know about it is up for debate. But my point still stands her being referenced as gi jane is not disrespectful. She was being compared to a strong beautiful woman actress Demi more, and in the context of the movie this is a strong woman warrior she willing cut her hair to join her brothers in war to defend her country something that today is has more meaning when looking at the current situation in Ukraine where many women have joined the men and took up arms to defend their home and family. So for her to be offended by this seems silly, and a low point for Will to act on it

Quote from SandyBee3

I took it as a jokingly compliment. When I first heard he made a joke about Jada’s bald head I thought it was something insulting.. like for example comparing her to Voldemort or something…. But G.I Jane ?

This ?

Yup that's her and I don't see how any woman or man being compared to someone you'd identify as courageous and strong as insulting. Ironically movie and tv shows like her helped women gain equality in the military especially for women who wanted to be army rangers and navy seals amomg other combat units they earned that right not to long ago in a historic achievement as some of the first women to graduate ranger school etc and earn the rank to be amonst forces like seal team 6. It also shed light on issues women service members had be it female specific issues or one's regarding inequality or discrimination

You don't decide what is silly or offensive to another person. If you get hurt by a "silly" joke i won't judge you bc of it, idk where it hurts to you neither what you experienced in your life to find such a "silly" joke hurtful. Just stop this manipulation conversation, focus on the men or you can't?

I can't at people really trying to involve women even in situations like this. Focus on who made the joke and who throw a slap.

What you took isn't the gospel true. The joke wasn't to you neither. You just need to think "why did this woman felt so offended over this joke?" just try to put yourself on her shoes and MAYBE you'll understand. If not, don't just talk about what she should feel. Interpretations are bound to be different, but feelings are different AND individuals, you won't feel her pain, neither i think you are trying tbh.

The conversation about her and manipulation cannot be left out. You are trying to push a narrative i am not. That can't be ignored knowing the totality of the circumstances prior to the slap. You can go back and watch the video second by second. He willingly and happily laughed at this joke. But decided to take it seriously a few moments later only because she disapproved of it. And knowing how he had acted or reacted in the past throughout their toxic but very public relationship shows. So the incident is not entirely on him.

Yes, let's blame her bc she didn't laugh at a joke totally unnecessary and uncalled let's blame her for everything. This whole situation happened bc she didn't like the f-ing joke

My biggest f you all to the ones who are yet again doing what our society does the best!! Over analyzing to try to see where they can insert the woman as the wrong!!!

And about their relationship: "your take over a relationship you don't live neither knows absolutely nothing (just what you see on internet "woooow") means nothing to the said relationship!" Your opinion is just your opinion. You seeing a video and trying to automatically call it "toxic" won't change my opinion, just that you view it that way.
