Also, for the record? Chris Rock should sue. You don't want the precedent out there that someone can come up and do that crap ever again. You sue them for enough money? People think twice about it ever happening again. Also, the Oscars need to have security off stage going forward. They just like for the fans shouldn't let celebrities up on the stage.
First of all, "blame shifting" is not a two-way switch. It's a slider, kind of like the left-right balance on your audio equipment. Your statement earlier of "Having said all that? I still whole heartedly believe "don't start nothing, won't be nothing" applied here" seems to clearly indicate that some of this debacle was Rock's fault. It simply is not. As I mentioned before, this is all on Smith.... hard left, all the way to the end of the slider switch on Will Smith. Period.
Where did it slide? Where exactly? Where exactly did I ever shift from saying both parties share some responsibility.My I'm

Now, as a separate conversation, if you wish to discuss Rock's joke, it truly is a different thing. Put simply, I found it a little eyerolling and clumsy, but not horrible. Just curious.... Did you ever watch any of those old Friar's Roasts from some 50 years ago on TV??? There were some vicious cuts in those and I never saw anyone take a swing at anyone. Same with the White House Correspondence Dinners.... those got pretty wild on occasion an no one ever gol slapped. And I didn't see it as a slap at her disease..... She had been out on the red carpet earlier talking freely about it and that Will actually liked it that way. The GI Jane joke was simply an obvious joke. Hell, I've spent over 30 years of my life being ribbed about being bald and I simply have fun with it. Both Will and Jada would have done well and simply smiled a bit a waved a finger (not the middle on) at Rock. But. of course, that's simply my opinion.
That’s some A+ #1 victim blaming you’ve got going there.
She brought him on live TV after her affair with the pool boy.
Irrelevant though.
That's why he was saying she is a narcissist by doing that. It doesn't excuse Will's behavior or Rock's poor judgment.
When Rock first made the joke, they cut to them and Will was laughing but Jada was not. I'm not convinced she told Will to do what he did, but I am convinced she told Will she wasn't happy.

But it was all staged! This is what Will wanted!!!Will Smith has resigned from Academy membership.
Will Smith Resigns From Academy After “Inexcusable” Actions at Oscars
The actor says he’s heartbroken for depriving others of their opportunity to be celebrated and will accept all consequences for slapping Chris Rock at the awards show.
Why are you so hung up about it? lol. They are actors. All of em. It's Hollywood. Weirder things have happened in that neck of the woods IMO. Nonetheless, yes, it could have been 110 percent real.
No it hasn’t. Then faking this while it hurts Will in ever conceivable way would officially become the weirdest ever. There is simply no denying this is real.
I’m hung up on because I’m at wits end with a big chunk of Americans creating idiotic conspiracy theories and then never admitting they were wrong when their theory was proven 1000% false.
I wonder if Will resigning is the equivalent of a college who has violations self imposing a penalty so the NCAA comes down easier.
This whole thing is simply your opinion. I know how hard you are striving for the "truth" and "facts" on this....but ultimately, you don't know anything more than I do on what was what. But, I still respect your opinion on the matter... I won't assume you're wrong.
I gather he still gets to keep his Oscar... but won't be at any ceremonies in forthcoming years. It certainly won't keep him from working in the industry... probably just inhibits his ability to be nominated for any industry sanctioned awards.
He won‘t be able to attend any Academy ceremonies and can’t be nominated for any awards.
For someone who makes it a point to not waste his time on people like me...at times you sure like to waste your time on people like me. I'm flattered once again. Thanks.
