About Last Night (The Oscars And The Apologies)
Last night Chris Rock told a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith. Will Smith laughed at the joke but his wife was not pleased at all then Will Smith proceeded to walk up on the stage approaching a smiling Chri Rock and without warning smacked him across the face. He walked back to his seat as the the stunned audience looked on, sat down and yelled 'Keep my wifes name out your mfing mouth' Twice, he said it TWICE to reiterate I guess that he was was really mfing serious.
Then he won an Oscar for Best Actor.
The internet has been buzzed all day going back in forth on who's right and who's wrong- Chris, got what he had coming to him, you don't talk about a man's wife' or 'Will was totally out of line to bring violence to the Oscars'.
The joke was about Jada's bald head. Her head is bald due to an automimmue disease where the white blood cells attack the hair follicles called alopecia.Since last night Chris Rock and Will Smith have issued apologies. Chris said he wanted to apologize to his friends Jada and Will. He said he was out of line but did not know about her condition. Will apologized to Chris saying "Violence in all forms is poisonous and destructive."
I wish Will had taken a moment as he strolled down that aisle to an unsuspecting Chris and thought 'Is this worth all the anger?" He and Jada are Hollywood staples and each is used to being in the papers, on the internet and being the butt of jokes. This is part of the life they signed up for, good or bad. Jada has regularly put their relationship and family issues on Front Street in her Red Table Talks and the most recent was her talk about her entanglement relationship with her son Jaden's friend who he invited to live in their home.
Will's reaction makes me thing this outburst of violence went deeper than Chris Rock's joke. Something else. probably all the jokes on the entanglement, had to be triggering him and Chris' joke was just the straw that broke the camel's back.
It was a very unfortunate evening that overshadowed everyone's wins and I'm glad to see that both men have made apologies however we teach our children to think before they emotionally react. Will has been in this business long enough to know better. Whatever is going on with him I hope he gets the help he needs because last night, Oscar night he showed the world that he is hurting deep.
