Less than a week after Will Smith shocked the world by slapping Chris Rock during the Oscars, the star resigned from the Academy. Smith said he betrayed the institution’s trust.

Its sad how Jada can't take a light-hearted (unfunny) joke about herself but can publicly make her entire family, the butt of the joke repeatedly.
Oh please bro!
A vessel for love. Will, you and Jada are disgusting. It's disturbing how privileged you think you both are. If it bothered her so much, why doesn't she wear a wig, she can certainly afford the absolute best. Poor example to people. Shame shame
If Chris had stick to the script, this would be avoided. Come on 2016 you made a boycott joke which the smith didn't take lightly and now you want to do another joke my goodness it's no wonder you got bullied Chris, you asked for it. You don't start none, you don't get none.
Chris should be charged for not following the script.
So sad to see what have Will Smith become just because of his partner. I hate Jada. Selfish, mental disturbed bitchhJada. ErGhhhhh disgusting
I hope Will Smith will have courage to leave Jada soon 😓 this is all very sad turn. Although Chis isn't right but neither Will although honestly I will do more if I am Will/Jada. But Jada is just damaging Will brain heart and soul. And now everything around her, him, the family. I really hope he isn't scared to stand up and being happy again, truly happy. Being alone is not proven to be sad. Look at things differently, I hope you have better situation, life, eyes, heart bravery and life Will. Jada don't deserve a good man like you.
Don't demand more after the person apologize, be considerate to eachother. And solve the issue between you and your wife. Get better life. I wish Chris didn't get involved but it's very unfortunate.
I got my leg broken and kicked in the head, a cop rolled up and snickered at me. Amazing how celebs get treated for a SLAP.

These people from the academy are a joke, if a person like you or me had hit someone, the California prosecutors would already be on top of you, this was an assault not only on Chris but also on the academy, you must defend him with all your might law, like any of us, just because he is a movie star? he is going to go unpunished and they must put will in jail and not give him special treatment .
This is Johnny Depp x Amber all over again!
Will Smith ❤️ he proteccs!
His wife instigates and abuse him!
Chris rock dont care though it's K-A-R-M-A
he's a standup and his comedy centers on insulting his viewers, the gov't, and a lot of A listers he had it coming 😅
I just wish everyone would drop this topic. It was a momentary outburst of emotion, a one-off, one time reaction without thought for how it would be perceived. I believe Chris understands this and so refuses to magnify and prolong the incident by pressing charges. I think if Chris had known Jada suffered a medical condition she might understandably be sensitive about, not a decision to shave, he might not have "poked at her" with his attempt at humor. A new fashion statement is acceptable for poking fun but a medical condition not your own is not.
Will has admitted, in essence, that he should have had better control of himself and the incident is not the person he wants to be.
If everyone would just stop talking about it and rehashing it, it could fall into the past as a one time loss of control. For pity's sake, if it hadn't happened on camera at the Oscar's it wouldn't be getting this much attention. It would've simply been between Chris and Will and would've simply been settled between them.
Just DROP IT! I'm tired of hearing every one wants to publicly humiliate and punish Will. Leave it between Chris and Will, they are grown men and can settle this between them. They don't need the whole world butting in and trying to take it out of their hands. If they were toddlers you could slap Will's hand (the offending one) and tell him this was not acceptable behaviour so don't do it again. An adult equivalent should settle it and drop it into the history of the occasion.
Seems like along night
Words are not violence. What BS.
anyways, cant wait to see GI jane 2 hahaha…….
cmon, that was good
chris rock did the right for not pressing charges in his part, it will just make it more complicated and make it a big deal over something silly. i mean if he did press charges, that would give everyone to start talking about something again
I’m pretty sure Jada can take care of herself. They both looked very bored and bothered by the show.. like they had better things to do. Almost too good for the company that surrounded them. Very disappointing. Time to focus on the health of themselves and their lovely family.
Smith was trying to be pac
Will and jada’s marriage is toxic
Next time. we will see a TV series called the slap…
Sorry Chris , please 🥺 will Smith want help no leave him elone we are only Human.
Will Beta Smith,
Will you smash my wife Smith
Hypocrites and out of touch sheep in Hollywood gave Will (POS) Smith a standing ovation. The love of themselves and violence.
That's good news. I don't want to see him ever again. Despicable person.
That slap was REALLY meant for Jada…but Rock caught it instead.
The organisers let the guy who committed the assault stay after the incident and put the onus on the one who was assaulted asking him is to press the charges if he like.. what if Chris has pressed charges, then he would have become the bad guy again despite getting assaulted. The committee should take the ownership of taking action and make an example of the individual to prevent any kind of actions in the future irrespective of the fact it’s done by one of the golden boy. If corrective actions are not taken, the message to the world is nothing but what we see in our day today lives. The powerful can do any thing and get away with it.
The Production Mngr in charge of seating made a terrible mistake. Will and Jada didn't look seated side by side. Was this done through out the room? Bad!!
This is a calculated move from Will to save face. To quickly resign before they suspend you and avoid embarrassment!
I hate these type of females like Jada, she deserve to be bald and loosing her hair. I hate manipulation, look what kind of mother is she? Look how the kids turn up, she manipulate them they lost their Identity.
Great… we're heading towards Communism
Chris Rock: "I'm sure it's not that noticeaBAAALLD! BALD! BALD! BALD! BALD! BALD!"
There are several elements of appropriate trauma related social issues, one in prepared readiness of the loathing rapport in doubt/fear and anger… mb hunger and exhausted excitement… who will say what and what can that mean?
The other is the drive of unsupressing historical beliefs, meeting modern day values about what did happen to parents and grandparents, in a work ethic sense of responsibility.
When you find out as a child, what your parents went through, and you're revelating now wrongful and controlled this is!?!
It is an supressed outrage that takes hold of reason, upon the world, and every person you know….
It's sad. And that's a lot to have carried into your adult life.
Suddenly,
You didnt have those experiences
But, its effected everything about who you have been and could be… should you choose that.
Behind closed doors and in stand against the law, of segregation and racial profiling in your home front, my dad was a good sober father who was racist and refused all things in his capability of the modern world.
He influenced these senseless actions along with other Indigenous survivors, to some how hold onto something, that was what they believe to be the real truth.
I grew up confused in hypocrisy and doubt.
As a parent I found my responsibility in the world, when those ideas didnt work any more!
I had to find the real truth that all people are living today… in order for me and my children to have meaningful dignity and support.
I was judged and criticized!
Taken advantage of.
Especially labeled for being saved by Jesus Christ, in my darkest hour of need and saving.
People I grew up to trust and respect, werent so wise and smart, with traditional ceremony and cultural community.
I just couldnt wait for someone else to be ready to protect or help my family, anymore…. I couldnt earn that power, by standing by in silence.
Finding your voice within contraversy is very raw
