That generalizes to EVERYTHING in the movies.

Worked for John Wayne.

Not to mention Saint Reagan.

The only role Will Smith might get now is as lead in a modern re-make of the old movie, “He Who Gets Slapped.”

Unacceptable.

Bad things can happen when you react emotionally to trolling.

Neither does making a joke out of his wife’s medical condition.

What he did made him a punk in my book

I hope he just fades from sight. Maybe he can sell air fryers on TV?

It brings to an end the saying ‘slap happy’.

He didn’t gun him down he just bi**h slapped him for the crude joke at the expense of his wife. Maybe he could have waited after the show but that slap was deserved in one way or another.

I’m split on this. An egregious insult demands immediate response, and sometimes it’s the wrong response. Smith and Pinkett-Smith might have more effectively showed their disdain by immediately rising and very obviously exiting—stage right. But then again, I understand Will Smith’s flare of temper. I have a temper that is controlled only by…knowing that if I unleash the demon, I won’t stop with just a slap.

Nobody dares to use the term in the political or entertainment worlds, but the action was nothing more than “black privilege”. Mel Gibson got a wake-up-education and Smith is now starting his.

Oddly, Rock’s stupid not-funny quip is the most lucrative one he has had in his career.

Just another overrated, overpaid Hollywood thug.

I have read elsewhere that between the “joke” and the slap there was an extended shouting match between the two men, but that it has been deleted by all American media because it was loaded with “forbidden” words.

Yet such an exchange hasn’t even been mentioned on any of the media I go to. So, was that claim a lie? Or was the slap just too juicy for them to allow it to be diluted by “context”. I honestly don’t know, but I wish I did.

Actors make a career and sometimes life out being something other than what they are. If you get a chance to actually know them some turn out to be great (Paul Newman comes to mind, knew him a bit from his racing life), some are likeable but not very bright (Reagan, according to an older couple I knew who were his landlords early in his career), and some shouldn’t be allowed out without an adult chaperone. I’m with Duane Ott on this one. I understand it perfectly, realize that it wasn’t ‘socially acceptable’, but not sure what I would have done. More likely to have thrown a shoe at him. Look it up.

Wait there, Stallone believed that his role as Rambo made him a role model for US troops.

I don’t dislike Smith as an actor so I’m not rooting for his career to be over. Mostly I avoid his movies because they’re so often “uplifting” and I don’t like “uplifting” movies, but I saw “King Richard” and I enjoyed it, and I enjoyed him in it.

That being said, I thought his tearful acceptance speech/apology/‘I am a vessel of love" self-justification, however sincere, was self-righteous and not-to-the-purpose. If you say "I’m trying really hard to be the shepherd" AFTER you’ve shot Ringo in the face, you ain’t the shepherd.

“Acting like . . .” If it made him a hero in Jada’s eyes perhaps that’s all he cared about at the time.

OMGGSA.

I’m on Will Smith’s side on this one.
