Like Denzel told him

At your greatest moment... that when the devil comes.

No cap tho, during his speech when he dropped that gem that moved me to a tear.

People not talking about how Denzel was coaching him and mentoring him, being a father figure/OG to the younger black actors in the industry

but IF rock knew about jada's condition and did the joke anyway then its meanspirited in that case he just got dealt with.


Even if he knew the reaction was excessive and uncalled for and a sign of the pussification of today's people.

And no more meanspirited than jokes

About Arnez Jay's joke about his retarded brother Rodney

Jokes about alcoholic relatives

Jokes about Gabourey Sidibe or other fat people

Jokes about Shaq's cocked eye

Jokes about people's relationships or sex tapes.

Jokes about poverty

Jokes about thick ass glasses

Jokes about what Stevie Wonder seeing something coming or him driving

Jokes about Will sabatoging his career cause Jada has him under a spell

Jokes about Mike Tysons lisp

The point is if you grew up and didn't play the dozens then you might be part of this young pussified generation that wants to limit jokes.

BIG FACTS to both of yall. After this incident, his spot in high profile films like summer action blockbusters or prestigious late fall/early winter oscar bait dramas is over. He gon have to fall back and do lower profile projects like Hitch and Focus. Or he can go the independent film route and do A24 movies or something. Man is about to go from commanding a salary of $25 million a film to potentially doing projects where he would make 300K-800k at most (since indie films have significantly lower budgets and its more about the art with them)

And as for that I Am Legend sequel, I GAURENTEE that Will is gon have more of a background role and MBJ is gonna be the actual star of the film, and I felt that BEFORE this incident. Shit for all we know Will might leave the project completely and have MBJ the only star in it. Will allegedly was trying to get a Marvel spot in an upcoming project but that shit DEAD now.
i believe he will be alright he smacked the right person.
now if it was a cac maybe
he will be back shooting big movies soon enough
to be honest he already came to terms that he is not going for money anymore
and do more movies taht he likes to
after the movie with his son didnt do well.

And because of their relationship, Chris couldn't just immediately press charges and sue.

It's a difficult situation for Chris. For some, it's easy to make a decision to press charges and/or sue.

I don't know what's best for Chris. But Will absolutely can go on without consequences of some sort.

I think a lawsuit (settlement) would be the best course and one I think most people would understand.

If I’m Chris I’m going scorched earth and everyone is getting it. Denzel….Tyler Perry…. White dude that plays the raccoon.…. Whoever was at that party with Will dancing. Jada they kids. All getting it. Tiffany Haddish….whoever runs the academy. I would become the black Andy Kaufman.

I think the real issue is that he escalated the situation beyond what many would say was reasonable.

And to your point, yes this is mild in a sense of overall violence. However, the stage it took place, the audience, the parties involved all contributed to this being far more high profile than your average crime. Whether he loses it all is out of his hands. That's the consequences he signed up for. He gave those that love to see Black men fall from grace & torn down enough ammunition to destroy everything he built over the 30+ years.

Chris Rock can't save him because his forgiveness of the situation only makes Chris out to be the bigger man. And the court of public opinion has already judged Will as a violent person with a crumbling facade of a marriage.

I agree and that shit is crazy, it just goes to show you when you’re black and famous the bullseye is on your back for real. Not only from whites but you’re own people as well.

For the record Will Smith throwing his career away on live television was way crazier than the OJ Simpson Ford Bronco chase.

I would throw in Jusse Smollett as well.
Honestly I don't know who made the dumbest spur of the moment, out of left field, crazy shit to mar or stain their career be it Will Smith with the on stage assault/slap of Chris Rock or Jusse Smollett, A multi talented actor/singer with a burgeoning career to potential superstardom ruined with his alledged, ill planned, hate crime hoax in Chicago.

Its wild how Will Smith has maintained a squeaky clean, positive image for over 30 years, man didnt even cuss when he was rapping....

and all it took was this to kill that image.

Actually this is the only thing in his favor...that it anomalous behavior. He doesn't have a history of acting out like that..if nothing else that should count in his favor.

I'm going to put myself on ignore in this thread and on this topic until something big happens.

The humans are rehashing the same points

no one's mind will be changed by ANYTHING written in this thread.

They coming in prepackaged and predetermined.

The next step in this observational experiment is to see what happens NEXT.

Chris legal moves

Will is no longer an academy member is that enough?

How are black women going to treat Jada now?

Till then I'm out

Long long prosper and keep your head on a swivel

No contest...Smollet.

Will is an accomplished superstar who has already done it all. He has already been winding down from big summer blockbusters etc for years and is much more active behind the scenes now. Plus his actions were clearly some spur of the moment shit.

Smollet was just starting to make it and actually thought out and planned that foolishness.

Again, Will is not Arnold. Will needs the support of powerful white men to exist as a powerful movie star. He has damaged himself in that circle. As I said, he will be working with Tyler Perry from now on. He knew how to sizzle and snap his fingers in the fresh prince and he will be a good side kick for Madea.
:lol:
