glad it was Will Smith who open-handed slapped him, instead of Jada Pinkett Smith who would of GI Jane'd all over his face.

(9,073 posts)Smith just put the Streisand effect on blast with that.
It's everywhere this morning. I knew a little bit about that mess from cultural osmosis, but not with the granular detail I now do today.
So, well done there.

(839 posts)Will Smith tracks down everyone that says something bad on Social Media and slaps them in public while repeatedly saying keep my wifes name out your mouth. Cartman is a huge fan of the Pursuit of Happiness and wants to meet Will Smith so he tweets out some horrid insult at Jada. While theyre in town, Jada meets Kyle and tries to hook up with him. Chaos ensues.

(28,253 posts)...if the Smith's had held a press conference this morning, detailing Ms. Smith's medical condition and calling out Rock for his piss-poor attempt at a joke. I hope Will Smith cherishes that newly-acquired Oscar of his---and I hope he never gets a chance at another one. Giving aid and comfort to the nation's racists ought to carry a significant price.

(36,106 posts)Women do. Already people are debating whether the slap was justified, did Chris Rock know about her condition, did she goad Smith into doing it
ugh
We'll probably never know. But at the end of the day it was a dick move by Smith. He thrust her condition into the media spotlight when it's up to her to choose the venue for that conversation. (I didn't know about it - I see a beautiful rich woman with no hair I figure it's a fashion statement.)
