The 94th Annual Academy Awards didn’t go exactly as planned last night. There was a mostly peaceful assault on stage, live.
Chris Rock was telling harmless bad jokes and in one, he joked that Jada Pinkett Smith is GI Jane. She is somewhat bald. Jada is sensitive about her hair loss struggle and looked very offended. It’s doubtful Rock knew she has alopecia.
Anyway, with that, her husband Will Smith went up on stage and slapped Chris Rock hard across the face. Smith went back to his seat and yelled, “Leave my wife’s name out of your f–king mouth.” The Oscars live stream muted Smith’s comments.
They didn’t kick him out. He got his best actor award instead.

Here is the unedited clip we got from Liberty Daily:
EVERYONE GETS AN APOLOGY EXCEPT CHRIS ROCK
The audience was stunned, Chris Rock was very stunned, and it took him a while to get back to telling bad jokes.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs took the stage soon after and said, “Will and Chris, we’re going to solve that like family at the gold party.” The Smiths laughed and clapped.
Smith later received the best actor award for his performance in “King Richard.” During the speech, a teary-eyed Smith said, “I wanna apologize to the academy. I wanna apologize to all my fellow nominees. This is a beautiful moment and I’m not crying for winning an award. It’s not about winning an award for me, it’s about being able to shine light on all of the people.”
Sure it is. Then he added, “Love will make you do crazy things.”
I guess Chris Rock doesn’t get an apology.
Maybe the Academy has to go back to no emcees or comedians. Better yet, why televise narcissists giving themselves awards at all?
JADA CHEATS ON SMITH BUT THAT’S OKAY
Mrs. Smith has been serial cheating on Smith and, possibly tired of being embarrassed as she announces her affairs, he said in September that they have an open relationship. Jada sleeping with other men is okay with him but a harmless joke is not. Maybe that’s what’s really bothering him?
Will Smith will not tolerate other men making jokes about his wife. He will however tolerate other men having sex with his wife. This is a man of principle.

Some reactions follow, a few focused on the victimhood of black women, but most didn’t appreciate it, especially other comedians who now have to worry about getting smacked.
Those defending Will Smith (as you should) please keep that same energy for the countless Black women, transgender people, and others who are often harassed and humiliated in the name of “jokes.” #Oscars

Many takes on here about Will Smith and Chris Rock, especially from people whose partners are not Black women (mainly white people).
I don’t care if it’s a joke or not, the amount Black women have to endure — people are tired of it. We have no idea what Jada has gone through.

Will Smith just won an award for being the best actor, but he couldn’t act like a human being during a joke.

Will Smith’s assault on Chris Rock may easily inspire the impulse of a drunk steak head in a comedy club to walk up to the stage and pop a stand-up comic because he didn’t like a joke. A hyper-toxic powder keg moment that validates horrible behavior.

What is the level of fame required to physically attack someone on stage at the Oscars and not be kicked out? Like, could a director do it? Hair and makeup?

Will Smith won and got a standing ovation – I’m in awe the show went on like nothing happened.. will smith punched a comedian for doing his job. He’s a celebrity in the front row of the Oscars where it’s normal to be roasted, bad taste or not
defending will = brainrot

In an earlier, more civilized time, insulting a man’s wife called for a duel. Even a generation ago, such an insult justified a smack in the face–at the very least. Nowadays, are we expected to accept any insult the Left decides to give us? Apparently we are.
My granddaughter has alopecia universalis, and if some cretin made fun of her condition, I and everyone who heard it would enjoy teaching him manners, with great force and enthusiasm, to ensure he learns his lesson. It is a mark of civilization to be polite to others. It is the lack of civilization when people feel free to belittle and denigrate people. Would Chris make fun of someone in a wheelchair? How about being blind? The answer, sadly, is yes, he probably would.
Will Smith apologized to the academy and the audience, but he should NOT have apologized to Chris the Cretin. Where is the cretin’s apology to Will Smith and his wife for insulting and hurting them? Just crickets; nobody expects the cretin to apologize to his victims.
having spent years in the theatre, I can’t help but notice Chris Rock’s pose as Smith approaches: hands behind back, leaning forward from waist, jaw thrust out in presentation, and hold real still as the target.
I call fake.
Pardon my language, but if you f*** Will Smith’s wife he is ok with that, but he is offended if you talk of her hair?
I don t buy it.
Also G I Jane ( actually Demi More) was kind of a hero for that role in that movie, so how was that an insult?
Chris Rock did not compare Jada’s hair to the hair on a rectum, did he?
I think the whole thing was staged.
Actually I am sure the whole thing was staged.
Making jokes about a man’s wife in public crosses the line. Will Smith Face should have gone after Chris Rock with bare knuckles and decked his ass. Maybe even send him to the Hospital to give him time to think about being Stupid. Chris Rock keeps reminding us that Black Culture has no Class! Chris Rock should have stuck to jokes about just Will Smith, not his wife. It’s lucky for Chris Rock that California isn’t an Open Carry / Conceal Carry State. I’d like to Chris Rock mouth off about a Man’s wife in a Red State. He’d likely be treated like a Russian Prisoner of War and shot in the Balls. One thing I love about living in a Very Red State, everyone is carrying, so everyone is civilized; at least in public! I think Mississippi voted to reinstate Dueling back in 1978, so maybe the Academy Awards should be held in Mississippi next year.
Reminded me of professional wrestling. When was the last time “The Oscars” was all the buzz the next day?
Are we sure it was not all planned and staged?
LMFAO! Coffee klatsch call and box wine auntie says…I thought it was part of the act.
This is lifetime CPUSA voter who lives by the beginning of the rural side well away from the consequences of the vote.
She’ll hire some replacements for yard work when it warms up.
O/T-Bungling Brandon has the lowest approval rating yet!
The $10 a gallon gas for regular and $1000 for a week’s worth of groceries isn’t even here yet.
We do have the world bazaar in the middle of Red State thanks to crony capitalist corporate criminal corksuckers and globalist/CCP traitors in apparatchikgov.
I voted stickers and Ukraine kitsch not accepted as currency.
(sad trombone)
Distractors gonna distract.
What is DJ Jazzy Jeff up to these days?
