Overreacted. Smith is in the wrong.

I love comedians and telling jokes is what they do.

Anyone who has watched these awards shows for the past +25 years knows that some jokes are told at the expense of celebrities, politicians, famous people, world topics in general.

I think that Rock has been a part of the industry for so long that he knows when, where and what to say... the Oscars are not a Netflix-HBO special... it's not a comedy club where he can tell darker content... Rock is a professional and did not come to the 2022 Oscars wanting to damage his career in any way.

The biggest question I have about this entire incident is if Rock did or did not know about Jada's health issues?

If he did, then it's quite shitty of him to tell this joke (specially during the Oscars and also in front of the Smiths).

If he did not know about Jada's health then Will overreacted and Rock shouldn't have been slapped-punched.

I think Rock did NOT know about her health and did not deserve to be physically assaulted.
