Smith came across as: Insensitive - laughed at said joke about his own wife. Bully - Storming the stage and physically assaulting CR. Inconsiderate - Throwing F Bombs ona family friendly live TV show. Emotionally unstable - Laughter then Violence. Entitled, Egomaniac, Asshole - No apology to CR for striking and cursing him. |

Wow, well done to the bigwigs at the Academy, even got an obscure BMW online forum talking 5 pages so far about this thing. What a bizarre setup to cause controversy, it's probably all over the news now.
I'd LOVE to see another angle on the supposedly slap but I bet it's not there unless it gets leaked. If you were Chris, would you fold your hands behind and stick your head out all expose seeing a supposedly angry Will coming at you? Again, why would Will stance up before the single slap and why didn't he follow up w more confrontation? Looking back, doesn't really make sense, an angry man defending his wife's honor isn't going to do a wimpy slap on another man, and he definitely wouldn't just be one-and-done. Chris didn't even wince/his face didn't show any mark cause there wasn't any contact. Will slipped up for a microsecond though as he let out a smirk walking back. I give him massive props for the verbal tirade though, almost sold me...almost. Once again shows that ppl can be manipulated to believe whatever is being portrayed by the media.

Otherwise if not, this appears to be another case of two different sets of rules, one for normal folks like us and another for the rich and famous. |

if only chris would have left with "Damn... if you think Will is mad in March you should see him in August"
^ saw that mentioned on an IG post. If that really happened Will would have left on life support lmao.

Good article but these guys are pros, like I said, he was very convincing and indeed later on did win an Oscar. Hell, Bill Clinton consulted these guys before he was questioned about the whole Lewinsky scandal. They know exactly how to sell something. Anyway, just a bizarre way to drum up interest and controversy over a dying awards show. EDIT: can OP add a poll or is it too late? Would wanna see "Gun to head, was this REAL or FAKE?"

I don't think their goals are that grandiose, they just wanna regain some interest in their dying show. However, it's not the first time something happens to try to divert attn from another, but this is not it.

That along with, "guess we got into a bit of an entanglement".

As questions swirled about why the actor Will Smith had faced no repercussions for slapping the comedian Chris Rock during Sunday night’s Oscars telecast, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which administers the awards, said Monday that it had condemned his actions and was starting a formal review.
“The academy condemns the actions of Mr. Smith at last night’s show,” the organization said in a statement. “We have officially started a formal review around the incident and will explore further action and consequences in accordance with our bylaws, standards of conduct and California law.” |

Staged. Watch the video. Will Smith needs to move on from their "open" relationship - that become open when she cheated on him. Let's get back to BMW talk.

Weird thing is the US has a history of "roasting" famous people, the joke wasn't that bad GI Jane isn't an insult..it was all over blown, WS laughed at the joke then suddenly went on stage and slapped CR because his wife that sleeps with other men rolled her eyes? I mean really? I'd have said get one of your boyfriends to sort him out... The whole thing is very unseemly and WS has done himself no favours.

My point is will they reference the slap if JPS and WS are not there?
