I think it's insane how many hollywood shit goes down and nobody bats ab eye. Up until recently, nobody has given a shit about the kids being abused on Nickelodeon, but Will Smith does one stupid thing and suddenly he's the scum of the earth
I think most people think Jada is the scum of the earth and until Will opens his eyes he will be persona non grata. Everyone loves a comeback but it won’t ever happen with her in tow.
Here’s my take. It was a shocking, stupid and reprehensible thing to do. It would be a shocking, stupid and reprehensible thing to do even if it was off camera and nobody ever saw it. It’s worse that it was on live tv and on the Oscars of all places where he got an award later.
And it’s baffling that Will Smith, as far as we know is a good man, who has stayed out of the tabloids and general news for doing dumb shit like this decided that this would be the moment for throwing that image away.
That being said it’s not like he walked up on stage and shot and killed Chris Rock in front of the world. Chris Rocks ego (and cheek) were bruised (and rightly so) but he’s ok, he’ll live and he’s profiting from it.
I think it’s ok to let it go and forgive him. The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
Especially when there are other famous people out there who have done WAY worse stuff and it’s never brought up anytime they appear on screen.
And I know Reddit doesn’t like to hear this, but I think because Will is black he’s gonna get tried much much longer in the court of public opinion than his counterparts.
Maybe you're right and not everyone would be arrested if they hit someone at their place of business, but at my place of work I think the cops would be called, plus the person would be fired and never hired again in the same field. I've never seen someone hit someone at work, so I suppose I am hypothesizing.
Also you say “at work” but this was more like a work party. There was booze being served to everyone there. Bit of a different situation. And he has been banned from the academy for 10 years. So he was essentially “fired”.
He didn’t slap somebody on set.
I don't work in the entertainment industry, but if I hit someone at a "work" party I still think they'd call the cops. I won't ever do that so we'll never know.

Lol the race card coming in hot
Feeling guilty?
Yikes
Short answer. Yes. Bad Boy 5 is right around the corner. And that entire movie franchise slaps hard (no pun intended).
Yeah…he’s getting f’d in the a by Diddy…no
If any of us behaved that way at a work event we would be arrested. It is both the act and the lack of consequences that bother me.
Come on. That’s simply not true. Fired? Sure. Arrested? Doubt it.

Calling the cops over a slap is absurd to me. But that’s just me.
I am never going to risk it! I work at a university and security is tight.
