I don't understand why he stays with her. He's rich, attractive, famous, and powerful (probably). Seems like she's nothing special in any way.

God this shit comedy gold. It's a shame BB was suspended on Twitter, I know there'd be some top notch comments.

Let's not forget they gave a standing ovation to Roman Polanski after being accused of drugging and raping a 13 year old. Hollywood is a cesspit of morally disgusting people.
Edit: sorry about the 3 posts in a row.

Academy says they asked Will Smith to leave but he refused. Fuck this guy.

Will Smith may face "suspension" or "expulsion" from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for slapping Chris Rock during Sunday's Oscars. The Board of Governors of the body that oversees the awards held an emergency meeting to discuss repercussions for the King Richard star, who just won his first golden statue. According to a new statement on Wednesday, the Academy asked Smith to leave the ceremony but he "refused." The organization admitted they botched the handling of the incident.
"The Board of Governors today initiated disciplinary proceedings against Mr. Smith for violations of the Academy,s Standards of Conduct, including inappropriate physical contact, abusive or threatening behavior, and compromising the integrity of the Academy," the Academy statement begins.

What, don't they have security at events like this? Were they all playing Pokemon when this went down? Were they on a lunch break?
WTF is this shit? Asked him and he refused so they just let him have his seat anyways? The more this story comes out, the more the academy looks like a complete and utter shambles.
What a fucking joke.
What a giant god damned asterisk there is on this win for him. It is like collapsing in the fourth quarter in the Superbowl, dude was about to get everything he has been looking for post-Fresh Prince and international stardom. Imagine if Halle Berry had a "wardrobe malfunction" or Jamie Foxx dropped a couple of "N-Bombs" during their wins.
. . .just really, really dumb. Like I bet more people know about him embarrassing himself than know he won an Oscar.
Forcibly removing him would have been an even bigger shit-show and taken away even more from the remaining moments the man's peers were about to have.

Between this jackass, Baldwin, Weinstein's open secret, Polanski, and a tidal wave of others I don't want to hear one more of these degenerate fucks speak one more word about privilege or accountability.

Exactly. the biggest issue is that he wasn't kicked out and on top of that was given a fucking standing ovation by hollywood. Like WTF? How delusional are all these people. They go on stage talking about climate change and civil rights as if they really believe in these things, but have no problems giving a standing ovation to a bully who just assualted someone in front of a billion people?
The academy not going to security after Will Smith refused shows how spineless they are compared to that ref who gave him the red card without actually witnessing the headbutt trusting that line ref who saw it and made that brave call on the biggest stage of the world against possibly the best player of his generation.

All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
I'm pretty sure he fucks dudes on the side too.
They likely are under (or were) to give wide latitude for "viral moments" - so think Kanye West or the best picture fuck up a few years back. They almost surely didn't clock Smith as a threat - because why would they?

The article states they told his agents not Will directly. Don't know if that makes it better, but it's not certain Will was directly told.

There were rumors Will Smith was sleeping with his costars for years. Who knows, but they supposedly do have an open marriage! Not sure why Will Smith is all twisted now!

Divorce is expensive.
Divorce from a narcissist is 1000000x as expensive. Plus false accusations, drudging up bullshit. It can get really nasty.

Absolutely. Like Jim Carrey said they're spineless and won't have the balls to do it.
They need to do something though. Letting rhis go will set a horrible precedent. Everyone will think they can walk on stage and assault a comedian just because they didn't like a joke.

Alimony as well, Will Smith could end his career doing every shitty movie just to keep up payments like Robin Williams (RIP).

A life time of abuse and misery is no way to live regardless of how much $$$ is at stake. He could easily make that money back doing a few movies anyways. He has the star power and an academy award to back it up.

Sets a bad precedent for any other shows.
What's stopping people from storming a stage to slap a comedian or any show host just for the publicity.
What does this hold for future Oscar events regarding security? The fact the academy has moved this slowly to address these issues shows everyone that they are in fact like Jim said spineless. They're a joke is the motion picture academy and this show and award has become a joke and this is not the fault of Will alone.
There are some big issues in that organization.

I dunno why people in Hollywood don't just fuck and let that be the end of it.
There's tons of high end ass in Hollywood circles to be had and you don't need to pay millions for it. Just fuck and go home. Tomorrow find someone else to fuck. Jada's ugly anyways and its not the bald head.
Will could be sacked up with Taraji, Halle or Jill Scott. Jill may be an oil tanker in comparison to the rest but that's how you do it. You get that low maintenance, ugly ogre in between the hotties to keep you sane.

Question: are you Afro-Latino?
And it's not just anecdotal evidence based on people I know ... There's been numerous articles about it... Even lawsuits filed like the one from Chastity Jones for having locs (I hate the term dreadlocks but they DID tell her that to her face) ... Of course she ended up losing that fight ... They don't look "unprofessional" to me...
Or this little girl sent home with her whole natural hair saying it's inappropriate... It's a fauxhawk! All her hair was still on her head ..
Mom wants apology after daughter’s hair gets her sent home from school
The school district said the third grader's row of ponytails looked like a "faux hawk," which violated the campus dress code.
www.today.com
My question was because non-black people don't usually have the tight coils black hair does, which makes our hair, largely, unique. There IS a history of implicit bias towards black hair in schools, the work place, etc. And by history I don't mean ancient.
It's partly the reason why many black women used relaxers, hair straighteners, extensions and wigs to "fit in".
There's even a bill being considered in the Senate (it passed the House) called The CROWN Act no idea if it'll pass the Senate or die there but if you want to read up on the bill...
Text - H.R.2116 - 117th Congress (2021-2022): Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair Act of 2022

I have a hunch the Academy will let him keep the Oscar but expel him from the group. It's been done before. Might not happen, but my hunch is this.

I think they were Childhood sweethearts and she's been with him from before The Fresh Prince. A role he would not have got if she hadn't kicked him out the house to go an socialize when his music career was in the dumps. Unless that was someone different he was dating, I don't keep up with Hollywood relationships.

To those calling Will a psychopath...
What else has he done that rises to the level of being a psychopath?
You judge people on their worst day? Should people judge YOU on yours?

I’m sure if I had my worst day broadcast live around the world, people probably would judge me on it.
Anyway, I don’t think he’s a psychopath, just seriously emotionally unstable.

Nope. Jada was close friends with Tupac, not Will. Will was married during Fresh Prince... That's who his oldest child is with... His ex-wife. They're actually still close to this day.
I think they'll suspend him for a few years from the Academy... I doubt the SAG or whatever other guild will suspend him. Maybe he'll have to pay fines or go on an apology tour and/or PUBLICLY apologize to Chris Rock.
That's more than Adrien Brody had to do after he kissed Halle without her permission. She wasn't pleased with it at all.

I'm pretty sure low-key he won't be getting any more Oscars, even if nominated.

Sean Penn got nominated years after his shenanigans... It'll be years before Will can be nominated again. He just better be focused on fun movies and not Oscar performance type stuff.

My worst day involved the death of a family member.
Nobody is calling him a psychopath, just a dumb-ass.
He assaulted him on national TV. It was filmed.

Watching it now as I surf the net. Im only 10 minutes in as they are gabbing about what it takes to be a comedian. I'll see how the remaining 40 minutes go, but if Chris Rock is he white man's black man for sitting on a panel with 3 white comedians (Seinfeld, Gervais and Louis CK) and not spazzing out over CK (havent heard that part yet), thats some claim.
Edit: Just got to it now by luck... ballpark 15-17 minute mark.
Awwww..... poor babies cant take it that Rock and CK seem like longtime good buddies (I never knew this) talking about N word in a 2012 video. Unless they start talking about it again, it's already over at the 18 mark. The panel joked about it for about 1 minute or two, and they have already moved on to another topic.

I wasn't saying YOU called him that. But some did. That's who I was addressing. Not saying you're wrong at all.
