You really want to compare Overeem Size to Chris Rock?

Ibime:


At least dampen it severely, and definitely take him off the box office category

In the sense that major studios won't call him up for projects then right?

Of course not. Will is a PG and R13 category actor. Being the public face of violence will take him out of studio consideration if the matter is blown up bigger than it is.

I think Raumdeuter is right, Will Smith picked Chris to express his pent up frustration and it worked out well for him. It's a gamble that paid off.

I don't know how Will Smith go reason to slap me and move back to his seat without being aided by another human or a mechanical /electronic device o.

As a person when someone tells me " I will beat you" in person (not online o), I believe it's just an expression of desire and nothing else. Whether u will be able to carry out that desire is another thing entirely. It depends on a lot factors, majority of which are not within Ur control.

Chris' joke may have seem out of line to will Smith, but will Smith acted like a pussssy and could've ended the night with bruises to more things that matter other than his ego if he had picked on another adversary wey no be gentleman o

Who Jada slept with is irrelevant.

Chris didnt even touch that low hanging fruit. Na the hair he target.

The koko is that if Chris did not say what he said, he would not have been slapped. We can highlight cause and consequence without justifying the slap.

This is Dayo here admitting that there are times when there's no point saying certain things because you don't know how the other person may react


You can literally change this phrase to never joke about a man's wife in front of his wife - same logic applies.

I'm saying the joke itself was not in poor taste.

Will has 99 problems and Chris Rock is not one of them. Since he signed up for that entanglement business his life has got twisted upside down (no pun intended)

The only thing he proved is that he is a puppet that marches to the beat of his 'wife's' drum. Living your life that way is never going to win him the respect he clearly looks like he desperately needs.

Slapping Chris Rock will not make his problems go away. Nobody is going to stop trolling him about his wife whether in his presence or absence. That is my point. He has not passed any message across. He will be tested even more moving forward because he chose to stay with a dodgy wife. You will say I told you

Will Smith ain't got that power bro is my point. He ain't sleeping Chris

Wrong, Will is still a bankable actor, and the woke crowd don't influence Hollywood as much as you think...
Will will keep on getting projects, Studios stop working with people when they stop being bankable...
If the issue gets blown up and his next couple of movies flop, then sure, but as long as he can bring in the revenue in this dying B.O times, he's getting jobs...

nihilistjnr:
Yes we know a gun can kill.

Why should we not argue with the guy holding the gun?

because the holder of a gun holds superior firepower whose effect means the end of your life and there is no comeback from a fatal shot

Say what you will about the man, he certainly lit up this year's Oscars....

Everyone's still talking about it while the two individuals involved are probably chilling now..
Will might make a public or private apology in a few days time and everything will be forgotten..

Amoto94:

Dare reference holocaust in a joke and watch Jews react to it with a pat on the back. For every action there's a reaction and you can't predetermined how a person will react.

Are we comparing the murder of 5 million people to Alopecia that 3 of 5 men suffer before turning 50?

Ibime:
Will slapped a short 57 year old man and started speech talking about God has called him as a protector and defender. Quit it bro.

Succubus energy will have you all over the place

We talking about kids and the example you want to put forward for kids as your main actor. There are many pressures that will die him that are not that obvious, from studio execs to commercial partners that put their products in films, to media reviews and hype to film critics. Unless he wants to be a rated R actor.

donjazet:
Again, I'm saying it, Will was a stand-up comedian for years, no way he doesn't see that joke isn't even nasty as what he must have dished out before.

Watch this video guys, see Ricky call the entire celebrity audience PERVERTS. Watch him call an A-list actor a pedophile to his very face. There is no line Ricky gervais didn't cross. These award shows are famed for their roasting sessions.

NOBODY has ever attacked an award host for a joke EVER!! No matter how bad it was and Hollywood is famed for it's bad blood and feuding between stars.
What will did is unjustifiable. And for him to still go back there and talk about "spreading love" in his acceptance speech just makes me wanna punch that big face.
There are far better ways to have approached the issue, not violence.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sR6UeVptzRg

Wouldn't try that with Gervais. Them no born am reach. Black man like am is the only soft target

Ibime:


Bro, had they sent Will out and denied him his Oscar, the matter will turn political and also an unsolicited injury to the Williams family.

Different political groups will start taking sides. Some black activists will say they denied Will cos of such and such but never punished Polanski while bleeding hearts on Twitter will try to cancel him, then the culture warriors on the right will also take their own angle. Some other group will start anti-violence campaign and bla bla bla

As things stand, everyone is laughing and that's the way it should be.

And I don't see it as assault, more like a hood discipline. Even the way Chris shouted "Will Smith just slapped the shit out of me" let everyone know that was a discipline. If he shouted "you just assaulted me", then the matter will take a different angle. If it's closed first punch, I would agree with you.

I get the hood discipline angle, I really do because na normal but on that stage with the world viewing and all the woke noise, it was really bad view and the Academy should have addressed it.

If Chris was white I believe Will is unsettled enough to still give the slap because that is how low he has dropped emotionally. The man is a piece of wreck right now and the trauma from his life experiences has a strong grip on him now. Chris is a professional's pro and a man with unbelievable self control and that is why we are laughing about it. It is the reason why he can say "Chris just slapped the shit out of me"...Another person would have instinctively beat madness out of Will, would we have blamed him? Another person would have retaliated immediately..

I am not saying deny him his award, the award was for his work from last year but I also believe the Academy has standards which Will violated. He should have been sent out, his wife or publicity team pick the award on his behalf. Polanski is a disgrace which will continue to paint the Academy black irrespective. Baba, that slap no be "Bitch Slap", na correct slap..You no see how Chris adjust him jaw afterwards? irrespective, physically attacking another person na "Assault".

At the end, we should just be thankful, it was Chris Rock and not another man on the receiving end.

My brother, if Bianca can slap Mrs Obiano and we laugh, why can't man slap man and we laugh. That na another angle.

Will is an Oscar winner, he doesn't conform to one niche..He's done comedic roles but he can knuckle down and do the gritties...
Various factors implies that everyone will be out to bury him but this isn't necessarily true, Will obviously has friends in the industry..
Studios who want his bankability will pay critics to give him favourable reviews, his critic friends will still give decent reviews..
Major studios like Disney and WB ill market aggressively and I bet you sponsors will still line up to part fund his endeavors... Capitalism rules.

The only thing that stops him is simply the people themselves once they stop going to his movies...
Possible other thing that can derail his career massively is a MeToo accusation and even that might be sketchy because it isn't as strong as it was 5-6 years ago...

In the end, it's all speculation on our parts but Will's career won't be ended over something as petty as this, woke culture isn't there yet in Hollywood...

Case in point, Dave's still working...

Will Smith will be fine....

Everything na risk and reward. Someone needs to pay for all this, still pay his big wages without knowing whether the public will still buy it to produce a return. Na that same capitalism go die him career if the matter did not end on a light note.

He should thank God for Chris who made light of the situation. Chris could have finished his career then and there if he reacted poorly.

Chris is an invitee to Hollywood, brought there to present every year and can't afford to fück up his yearly cheque. Will Smith can collect his networth from two films or one production for Netflix.

Will is part of the establishment, a studio owner and probably worked with, or given jobs to half the people in that audience.

The power disparity was too much, Chris gats humble himself

hmmm. who knows.

i have always suspected that will smith somehow iced allen paynes career for all those jack off worthy scenes with jada in jasons lyric.

i was expecting the dude to happen - and he somehow just disappeared. meanwhile forest whitaker of all people from that movie is now a bonafide hollywood star

Studios would simply bankroll a couple of his projects to check his bankability..

Actors with lesser star power have done much more brand damaging actions and are still going strong, the people decide if he's done...

A person like Will won't have his career ended by such mundane action...

Hollywood had been trying to cancel Tom Cruise for years before giving up...His bankability ensured man was in our screens...
