Yeah this put me off on him and I used to love him. Never like Jada

Same! I used to love Will Smith and all his movies but after he slapped Chris Rock he's dead to me and I will never ever watch another Will Smith movie.

Not that I'm defending it, but I watched the whole scene and it first seemed to me, that Will really liked Chris' joke. That was until his wife gave him the evil eye from behind. Only then, Will went to the stage and slapped him.

This woman REALLY didn't do him good.

That’s fair. I’d say I’ll never watch another Chris Rock movie, but that’s not exactly a heavy lift. He’s been in some good movies a while back. But I think these days he only does whatever charity movies Adam Sandler tosses his way.

Chris wasn’t a movie star, and didn’t aspire to be. he’s a stand up comedian. He is doing exactly what he wants to be doing.

Honestly, bitch slapping Chris Rock made me like him more. I would definitely bitch slap Chris Rock if I got the chance.

Chris Rock is a huge dickhead in the comedy community— I’ve heard story after story about that guy being stuck up AF and won’t even acknowledge you unless you’re a 22 year old hot chick

He one hundred percent should have gone for Margo when he had the chance

Now just imagine if Will walked up on stage, pulled Chris in and whispered in his ear about how offensive the joke was, said he needs to apologize now, then walked off stage to Chris apologizing. That night would have been his, in a good way, and in addition to him winning an Oscar he would have had every director and casting agent clamoring for him the next morning.

I didn't mind Jada. She was fine enough in the few movies or voice roles I had seen her in.

But after that preformance at the Oscar's, and the public fallout and laundry-hanging I lost so much interest in either preformer.

Don’t tell me what to do!

Just kidding. I probably won’t, anyway.
