Most Americans think Chris Rock had it coming.
More than half of those surveyed in a new poll said the comedian was in the wrong when he joked about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head at the Oscars — and do not fault actor Will Smith for smacking him on camera.
The Blue Rose Research poll found that 52.3% of people blamed Rock for the incident, compared to 47.7% who said Smith was out of line, according to a report published by Mediaite.com on Tuesday.
The poll quizzed 2,162 people online about who was “more in the wrong” in the Sunday night spectacle now been seen by millions.
While the majority of Americans younger than 65 blamed Rock, nearly 52% of those 65 or older chided Smith for losing his cool on the comedian.
Politically, the numbers were fairly even between supporters of President Joe Biden versus former President Donald Trump — 50.8% of Trump supporters blamed Rock while 50.1% of Biden backers said Smith was more at fault.
Rock was on stage during the Academy Awards when he pointed out Pinkett Smith, Smith’s wife, and joked that she could star in a sequel to “G.I. Jane,” the 1997 hit flick starring a bald-headed Demi Moore.
Smith took exception — his wife has alopecia which prompted her to shave her head last year — and smacked Rock before cursing him out upon returning to his seat.
On Monday, Smith issued a public apology, saying he “was out of line and I was wrong.”
@lazarus I couldn't be bothered to go back and look for photos to compare from earlier during the show. I just figured let me post this and one of my bitches on BGOL will jump through hoops to proove me wrong.

Believe these polls if you want to real niggas ain't got time to participate in this bullshit.
Will Smith would have some people coming for him if he was in the streets. No one likes a bully.
Just in!

Depends on who views who as the bully
I knew a situation in which two dudes got into an argument on a Facebook group (this was a class reunion facebook group)
Two former classmates got into an online argument and one dude made a disrespectful comment about another dude's daughter and said something to the effect of "during a roast everything is fair". Six months later he mysteriously got shot in the stomach and has to walk around with that stinky ass bag.
Everybody in the group thought he took it too far and deserved to get shot.
I just like to fight and argue over anything...my women be trying to calm me down...but I gone act a dam fool..brah
I looked at the totality of his career, he has alot of question marks with his movies that he does alot with Sony, than this final incident.
Will Smith Resume:
1. Cop Propaganda Movies
2. He is constantly doing side kick movies soft pedaling bioweapons with his movie production company Sony probably contributing to COVID-19. There is some type of messaging we are the intended target. Denzel got wrapped up into one of these piece of garbage movies produced by Sony.
3. Validates cosigns white supremacists activity for personal gain. He tried to rip off some idea that I hadn't really fine tuned, the issue is sending a signal that it is ok and not racist to do it. No surprise this fool was involved in something like this, cannibalism/greed at its finest.
4. Helped promote contract manufacturing of jobs that greatly affects the black community with college themed shows and presenting a fantasy world of being upper middle class after going to college.
It would be like a person promoting farm products made in other countries within the hispanic community, giving out scholarships, and pedaling some fantasy illusion that you will get a job at Google or Facebook.
5. Another President Trump repudiator whose economic agenda would greatly benefit the black community in lock step with the DNC. He does not mention this at all in his interview, just focuses on nonsense. At the time they did not have criminal indictments and other non sense to code signal this. This was the black elites bartering us to whites for their economic benefit.

Will Smith has criticised Donald Trump and the “absolute collective insanity” of his support.
6. Another one of their fantasies after trying to offshore as many jobs as possible is automation. Here as they do with movies about viruses is put their intended target as the lead character, code signaling their agenda.
I would like to see him retire, run his business idea he tried to rip off of me.

In Africa, a specific playbook was utilized to ensure a high infection rate of AIDS, we can see the same pattern being used today. It is not about releasing a virus to destroy people, it involves other tactics. By looking at these other tactics, it increases the likelihood that AIDS...

Chris Rock Responds to Will Smith’s Oscars Slap at Standup Show: ‘I’m Still Kind of Processing What Happened’
At a Boston standup show, Chris Rock offered his first public response to Will Smith's Oscars slap: "I'm still processing what happened."

Chris Rock Responds to Will Smith’s Oscars Slap at Standup Show: ‘I’m Still Kind of Processing What Happened’
By Rebecca Rubin
What’s on Chris Rock’s mind?
It’s a simple yet valid question, one that the world is wondering after Will Smith slapped the comedian on live television during the Oscars on Sunday. The now-infamous blow has been the topic du jour on every corner of the internet and television in the 48 hours since — but Rock has remained noticeably silent. That is until Wednesday evening, when Rock addressed the topic publicly at a standup show in Boston.
“Whoa, okay!” he exclaimed upon entering the stage in an all-white suit. The standing ovation from the crowd thundered on before Rock made another effort to get the ball rolling for the evening: “Yo, let me do the show!”
After a few more moments of applause, Rock immediately addressed the elephant in the room.
“How was your weekend?” he began, drawing a wave of laughter. “I don’t have a bunch of shit about what happened, so if you came to hear that, I have a whole show I wrote before this weekend. I’m still kind of processing what happened. So, at some point I’ll talk about that shit. And it will be serious and funny.”
https://variety.com/2022/film/news/will-smith-slap-oscars-career-fallout-chris-rock-1235217784/
An audience member then chanted “Fuck Will Smith!” before Rock continued.
“I’m going to tell some jokes. It’s nice to just be out,” he said before beginning his material.
There were at least a dozen local broadcast journalist set up outside the theater as early as two hours before showtime, bundled up in the thirty degree New England weather.
“This is insane,” one onlooker shouted as he walked by troves of cameras and on-air reporters around 6 p.m.
Prior to showtime, local religious leaders gathered outside the Wilbur Theatre to make a statement about “the incident regarding our brothers” and “send a message that violence is not the way to resolve conflict.”
“This is a teachable moment so we end the cycle of violence that is underreported in the Black community,” said Kevin C. Peterson, founder of the New Democracy Coalition, a non-partisan and non-profit organization that focuses on civic engagement, to a small crowd of reporters.
Event organizers at the Wilbur were not pleased with the masses that gathered outside.
“We have to get ready for a show,” said one Wilbur employee as he attempted to put up ropes outside the venue. “We’re trying to work now.”
Boston resident Sam Wisnia, 24, felt it was “serendipitous” that Rock was scheduled to make his first public appearance only a short distance from his hometown. He got tickets on Monday morning following the Oscars and acted early enough that he only paid $70.
“I didn’t watch [the Oscars] live but I watched the clip plenty of times,” Wisnia said. “I hope he leads [his set] with the whole situation and he can find the humor in it.”
Another Boston local Jesse Setaro, 32, saw an Instagram ad for Rock’s show “after he got smacked.” He paid $225 and considers that a steal compared to what others paid.
Setaro was unfazed by the frenzy of reporters outside the theater: “Why wouldn’t they be here? it’s a historic night.”
Rock’s taciturnity is perhaps the reason that ticket sales for Rock’s stand-up comedy tour have been nearly impossible to come by. By coincidence, Rock was booked to play several shows in Boston beginning on Wednesday before he embarks on his “Ego Death World Tour” next month, starting in New Jersey. It’s the first time that Rock has gone on the road in five years.
His four-day stint in Boston commenced on Wednesday at the 1,000-seat Wilbur Theatre, with one sold-out show at 7:30 p.m. and another at 10 p.m. COVID-19 vaccinations were mandated for attendees.
Tickets went quickly on Ticketmaster and were being resold on StubHub and other ticket exchange and resell websites for astronomically high prices. Original prices started at $49.50, but, in the wake of the shocking incident at the Oscars, they were going for as much as $800 to $8,000 on secondary sites. Admission to the 7:30 p.m. show was in especially high demand because many anticipated it would be the first time Rock would publicly respond to Smith’s violent outburst.
A StubHub representative said the site experienced “more than 25 times the daily sales” over the past two days compared to the last month. “It is incredibly unusual to see the spike we have experienced,” said Mike Silveira, spokesperson for StubHub. Similarly, the online ticket reseller TickPick wrote Monday on Twitter, “We sold more tickets to see Chris Rock overnight than we did in the past month combined.”
The incident in question occurred in the middle of the 94th annual Academy Awards, as Rock presented the best documentary feature category on stage. The comedian began riffing about A-list celebrities in the audience before going off script to made a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith and her shaved head. (The actress has alopecia, a medical condition that results in hair loss.)
“Jada, I love you: ‘G.I. Jane 2,’ can’t wait to see it,” Rock said referring to the 1997 action movie in which Demi Moore’s character has a shaved head.
Smith initially laughed at the jab. But after turning to Pinkett Smith and noticing her epic eye-roll at the joke, he quickly shifted gears and walked on stage to slap Rock in the face. At first, everyone — Rock included — thought the rouse was a bit, but it soon became clear that wasn’t the case.
“Oh, wow,” Rock said as Smith walked off stage. “Wow. Will Smith just smacked the shit out of me.”
After returning to his seat, Smith yelled, “Keep my wife’s name out your fucking mouth.”
Rock responded, “Wow, dude. It was a ‘G.I. Jane’ joke.” That prompted Smith to shout at a louder octave, “Keep my wife’s name out your fucking mouth!”
Rock appeared visibly shaken on stage and struggled to collect his thoughts. “That was, uh, the greatest night in the history of television,” he offered.
Shortly after the incident, Smith was awarded the Oscar for best actor for his performance as tennis coach Richard Williams in “King Richard,” a feel-good sports drama in which he plays the father of tennis icons Venus and Serena Williams. In a tearful acceptance speech, Smith apologized to the Academy and his fellow best actor nominees, but he stopped short of mentioning Rock. In his remarks, he also attempted to connect the altercation to his onscreen character in “King Richard.”
“Richard Williams was a fierce defender of his family,” Smith said. “Art imitates life. I look like the crazy father, just like they said about Richard Williams.”
Later in his speech he said, “In this business, you got to be able to have people disrespecting you. And you got to smile and you got to pretend like that’s okay.”
On Monday, Smith issued an apology to Rock on Instagram. “I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be.” He also said, “Jokes at my expense are part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally.”
Rock declined to press charges, but the Academy has launched an investigation into the situation to “explore further action and consequences,” a spokesperson said.
That damn Facebook
But that wasn't a facebook beef, that shit had been on going since at least 1997
I just think they were totally unprepared for it
Imagine if a fight happen at the BET Awards and they just let the person sit back down or he refused to leave. It would be perceived totally different.
It's like people are excusing Will's actions, because it's Will Smith.
ah, so basically you were a lazy dumbass that believed the first thing you saw. no problem. i don't hold any ill will to people with mental retardation.
Another thought...
Will was in a difficult spot. Either sit down and risk Jada demeaning him (again), and having people (especially Black people) clowning him, saying things like "Damn, you gonna let Chris dis your woman like that? You a bitch ass n**** for real!"...
OR...
...he could've did what he did, and he would be called "violent", "emotional", and people (especially Black people) saying, "Damn! You're getting emotional and wanting to hit someone who disrespected your woman, who really doesn't respect you because she put it out there that she was fucking a guy half her age - and you did didn't do anything to the guy who fucked your wife? You're a bitch ass n**** for real!"
Wow, I'm glad I'm not Will right now!

or he could he have just stayed in his seat and yell everything he did afterwards without assault. no risk of oscar being removed, show strength to his wife and those that like emotional bitch behavior, apologize for outburst later, and everyone moves on. This was the best option if he is so fragile to care what others think.
If you go back far enough you can see a Venus Williams nipple slip
Yeah but......
Naw...Will whooped a bitch...like every Real knicca I know do...or get treated like a bitch...by a Knicca like me.... brah
Yeah, I'll pass
Man, nobody black was watching that shit to care about the jokes
Nobody cared that Regina Hall joked them
If Will does nothing, than people would actually be talking about Will winning and if the movie is good or not. Normally Oscar movies get a bump afterwards, I bet the shit doesn't happen this year, because nobody actually is discussing the movies.
