He didn’t do anything wrong, at least not more so than you or me, he’s just not funny anymore. And his serious stuff was always very meh.
He didn’t keep up with the times.
Speak for yourself. He’s done way more wrong than me
He’s a scientologist that made a scientology propaganda movie together with his son. Doesn’t get more cringe than that.
Ahh I didn’t realise he was in the cult.
Not officially. But he’s best friend with Cruise and his kids went to Scientology schools.
Dang, that’s disappointing.
I thought Will Smith was one of the better celebrities. I don’t keep up with this stuff, though.
Which one was the propaganda movie?
After Earth
I suspected it was that one. I never knew it had anything to do with Scientology when I first watched it, I just know that it was pretty terrible. Thanks for the answer.
Oh damn I didn’t know he boarded the scientology kooky boat.
I sometimes wonder if those celebrities are being paid though. I have no evidence of that, it just seems like something Scientology would do to try to gain traction.
I mean, they purposely recruit Hollywood stars to help lend credence to their cult. They don’t treat them the same as the normies and just basically shower them with praise and adoration to make them think Scientology is awesome.
Didn’t he punch some guy in the face for making a joke? Pretty sure I’ve never done that…
I thought he slapped a man for making a joke? I can see why many folks would see little difference, I mean violence is violence, but if we’re talking degrees Id rather get doses of slap then punch. Still unacceptable in the situation, however, and I believe what ever issue Will had that night skills have been handled in private.
All that being said, the man has aged and people move on.
Will Smith is 6’2" and played Muhammed Ali. I can think of a lot of people I’d rather have punch me than get slapped by Will Smith.
He slapped a friend for a cheating whore that humiliated him a few months later, she was the biggest mistake he ever made, she was basically a stone drowning him while he was gasping for air and for that he’s not just an asshole but a dumbass and there’s also his cult bs, he could have had the world if he wasn’t so stupid.
Tupac died just to get away from her
He slapped someone for making a joke about his wife. Both were kinda out of line, so it balances out.
I don’t really take anyone clutching their pearls over this seriously. They need to grow some balls.
No. It was a super tame joke, and Chris Rock was literally doing exactly what he was paid to do that night. In fact, he probably didn’t even write that joke
It’s fine if you think that’s an excuse.
You can read my second statement to see how I view people like you.
Please explain how I was clutching pearls with my comment.
Chris rock.
He made a joke about Jada’s Alocopeia (the hair condition thing, if I spelled that right.) and also some jokes about their open relationship.
So, most of us can understand the impulse, I imagine. And most of us have enough sense not to make fun of medical conditions on a stage that large. To their face.
Alopecia
That doesn’t warrant getting on stage to slap a guy. And… As a guy, who slaps another guy? If you’re at the point of violence, who wouldn’t just throw a punch? Slapping another guy is embarrassing in and of itself.
I didn’t say it did, don’t put words in my mouth.
I did say I understood the impulse.
As for slapping instead of punching? Me.i would.
Broken hands are not fun; and once you’re there, you’re gonna want your hand working afterwards.
