Took an entire year to come up with that response? Thought he was supposed to be a comedian. Aren't they supposed to be quick on their feet, comeback-wise?
shareIf you only watched the top link you only saw a part of it. He was pretty brutal. And he probably waited for it to be around Oscar time to coincide with the one year anniversary. And maybe a little bit of him not being ready to address it. Not to mention accepting the 20 million to do it.
shareVictim-shaming...Nice... 🙄
Also, it takes a while to organise a stand-up show, and contrary to your bullshit argument, Chris did the *smart* thing and waited until he got a great deal from Netflix in order to give his 'comeback'.
The cynical thing you mean. He was probably making cash register sounds in his head about how he was going to make money off this even as the slap was being delivered. None of these people are authentic anymore. All they do is try to calculate how they can most easily make a quick buck.
You admire that? I don't. It's phony as hell.
After being physically assaulted, he's entitled to process and engage with it as he likes. Once again, anything else would be victim-shaming on our part.
shareAsking questions is not victim shaming. Talking about someone is not victim shaming. Questioner shaming is what you're attempting to do to me though.
"Physically assaulted". He was slapped, okay. No need for such huge words to pump a little thing up. You're phony as hell too. Get over yourself.
A slap *is* a physical assault.
And shaming someone who was physically assaulted is, suffice to say, a bad thing, and not akin to 'questioner shaming' (whatever that is).
Clearly you're trying to minimise an act of violence. Presumably you think it's acceptable to hit people and physically humiliate them in front of millions.
You're using weasel words. You think there's no difference between "slap" and "physical assault" in the ears of a hearer? Get real.
I haven't minimized anything. Stop trying to strawman me.
You're worthless.
A slap *is* a physical assault. In fact, an assault, doesn't even require a person to physically engage with another individual. A threat is enough. And after that slap, it's highly possible that Rock might have reasonably feared *even more* physical harm. In any case, it was an unreasonable act (and I say that as someone who actually sympathises with Will Smith, and *doesn't* think he should be cancelled or banned from future Oscar ceremonies).
shareIt's actually a smart move. He let the Smiths say everything they wanted about the incident, let the general public discuss this incident on the net, studied their responses and came up with something that is both hard hitting and difficult to argue with.
shareFuck Jada and double fuck Will.
Signed, million man.
I like Will Smith. I think he made a serious mistake, and people do make mistakes. I dislike when people make a mistake and it unnecessarily ruins an otherwise good career, so I hope Will continues to make good movies and learns from this.
That being said, Chris laid Will the fuck out! It was well deserved. I hope Chris made a shit ton of money while pissing all over Will.
Exactly how i feel too

Being banned from the Oscars was an over-reaction and just plain silly.
IMO, it was fun to talk about, but in real life this incident was not a big deal and a personal matter. But in show business everything is a big deal and nothing is a personal matter.
Any other fool would have been thrown in jail that night. Smith made a mockery of the whole shindig of self-entitlement. You do that at any other club's yearly meeting and you're banned for life.
Nah, this makes him look so butthurt.
Staying quiet made him look better.
I don't agree. Enough time has passed. If Rock went on the offensive the following week, it would have come across as his fighting back out of Smith's fist's reach.
I think the timing is right, no one sides with El Gran Cornudo and Rock will make a butt load of money, not come off as butt hurt.
I agree. Rock played this perfectly. His year long silence made Smith more of a chump.
shareI’ve been waiting for a while for Chris to address the Oscar slap and he didn’t disappoint.
He said a lot of the things I felt about the incident. Mainly that Will is a bitch for slapping him. He went after him because he is a skinny guy who couldn’t defend himself.
I am glad Chris also unloaded on Jada and all that bullshit about entanglements and the red table talk. She needed to be told off.
Chris has every right to not forgive Will. The apology wasn’t sincere, anyway.
I was shocked how "in your face" aggressive it was. Chris took it so lightly at the beginning and almost didnt want to talk about it. Then waited a year for this special and went full on Will Smith calling him bitch like 100 times. It was hilarious.
And spot on from Chris Rock with pointing that he is little skinny man, who had no chance with buff Will Smith in a fight. And Will choose him to hit instead of man his size that can hit back. And Chris Rock was 57 years old at the time.
Make fun of my wife and it'll take more than a year to get your nerve up to sass back, lol.
