Ricky Gervais on Will Smith's Oscars slap: 'I would have made a joke about her boyfriend'

The comedian, 60, was pushed for his opinion on social media when Best Actor winner Will, 53, stormed on stage following a joke about Jada's buzz cut from emcee Chris Rock, 57, during Sunday's 94th Academy Awards in Los Angeles.

The final proof, that US White, SS Senior, at poverty level is a 'White Supremist,' because we are NOT blind, nor Stupid, for believing what we ALL can see..Blackman assaulting another Blackman with MILLIONS of witnesses. Same as watching nightly news, violent crimes, by blacks!!

😂😂

How can a wife ruin her husband's career?

will smith could have saved him the humiliation.

Will, slap the shit out of anyone making fun of your wife’s medical condition.

Chris Rock is a bully!

🤣🤣🤣

Will just painted a Bullseye on her bald head for every comedian everywhere. We are all joking on her bald head now. Is he going to beat us all up. You people wouldn't have survived my grade school if you are really that sensitive. What a bunch of babies.

Now that’s funny. These outrageous Hollywood stars are paid so much money they need to develop a thicker skin. Rock’s joke wasn’t even that bad in my mind. Smith looked like an animal reacting. So gross everyone stood up after he won

Someone did ask why will never went for that entanglement dude. Ehh he messed up. Pff! 😒 there is no explanation that can justify that gutter nonsense display. At the Oscars too! Argh! Pathetic really!

joeNBC The incident was chrisrock denigrating jadapsmith and exploiting Will Smiths disposition in order to use the incident as a PR trophy. And who the hell is TheAcademy think they are permitting that as acceptable standards for their workplace. OSHA_DOL

And if Will slapped the shit out of him, it would have been deserved.

Chris Rock kept it 'clean' & didn't take advantage of the unique marital situation that was public subject.There were enough materials 4 his jokes on the 'complicated' relationship in Jada's unique marriage,but he was generous. Maybe Will was scared & the violence was preemptive.

Exactly. Chris Rock went for the corny joke. The stunner was hanging right there, but he passed on it because the Oscars are not the place for that much reality.

Trying to protect his wife!!! Lol now people all around the world are making more and worse joke about his wife now..

The joke wasn't The Rock's. He read it off a prompter. WHO WROTE THE JOKE?

ah ha rickygervais is a killer kkk, would love to see that! Oscars next year 'Hollywood barbecue'

Jada Pinkett Smith is the evil vixen who has the good man in her web. She can do all things and make him do all things in hopes of getting her approval ..... yep!

Chris Rock deserves an honorarium Oscar for showing discipline and control before the world. chrisrockhonorariumoscar2022

What a SHAME, A THUG of violence,disgraced whole world. He don't deserve any medals. Poor Chris, my heart goes to him. May God give him strength and overcome this Horror. 🙏

Careers will plummet after this violent display. We're not watching their movies anymore.

And this is why you are the master of humour!

He would as well.

People continue to critize the consequences and not the cause of the problem. People as Chris Rock, with only words, instigate agression and violence but they always get a free ticket! Stop word agression.

Oh I'm pretty sure his entire shows will be about her having an affair with their son's friend. As it should be.

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk pena que nao foi Gervais o apresentador

'WillSmith ...your wife is amazingly beautiful...she is a sign to bring woman abuse to the front lines...this vision my dear was your wife's spirit and I am so honored to be in the present...'

nice!

modesto_gabriel

I still don’t get it, what was so bad about that joke. Saying that she looks ready for G.I. Jane 2 🤷🏻‍♂️ WTF?! He did not insult her. So she goes to Oscar’s with that look and doesn’t want people to talk about it? 😂

'Now we know Will's limits about his wife, bang her it's ok, talk about her hair it's not ok.'

Wondering how he'll think will turn out if WillSmith was a white man

Or his boyfriend... 😬

seleno_glauber Legend.

Maybe Will thought he was August

Yeap, but…….should be about desease as we know new medicine is coming…

Se repitió , lo soñé ...o es una falsa ?

This is why he’s such a boss.

Will is p****. And Jada is a slot. He should have dropped her a** long time age after she f**** August while she was still married to Will. He may look mucho in the movies but he is a p**** in real life.

DAM STRAIGHT, with so much to work with Jada got off freaking lucky...! I hope comedians roast her pot stirring a$$ now

There is a new word coined for slapping someone. It is giving a Willsmith! Like I gave him a Willsmith. 🤷🏼‍♂️

rickygervais Or make a joke about this...

This pic says is all.

I'd like to have seen his joke. Guess we will have to wait til August.

Ricky Gervais is a global treasure. You can sleep with my wife but you better keep her name out of your mouth!

CRIME on TV? Call the LAPD!

Which one of them, rickygervais ? 🤔🤔

Now he is going to kill you

StellaRoyal111 Will Smith obviously couldn’t punch Jada’s lover August Alsina so he punched Chris Rock 🤦‍♀️😡

You know what I think will smith did was just WRONG and OUTRAGEOUS!!! For every like that means we should MURDER WILL SMITH!!!!! Every Retweet means we Smoke CRACK!!!!!! BACKTHEBLUE, ACAB!!!! (ALL COPS ARE BEAUTIFUL)

And you would have been bitch slapped

I think Ricky would have structure it differently and probably would Will would have not Slapt him because there is no previous beef, but Will is bad Watch 'Will Smith Slaps Journalist, SlapGate Prequel and Rebel Wilson Bafta Joke' on YouTube

At first I thought what happened to Will Smith, then I find out his partner is a Virgo & as alluring as Virgo women are, they will send you over the edge with frustration & anger regardless of how funny or talented you are. Anyone who’s been in a relationship with one will know.

Ricky Gervais is my spirit animal

Can't wait to hear the Will Smith jokes from Ricky Gervais.

Hahahahahah you are the best ricky

This man is so desperate for attention, fly away rickygervais

That's why we love him 🤣

Many fools saying they don't encourage violence, and then encourage it. 'I don't condone violence, but if that was my wife I'd do the same thing.' 'Not saying Will was right, but Chris deserved it.' Idiots.

Fresh Princess would've never hit a white dude. But these thug wanna-bes think it's okay to assault another black dude.

I’m sure he would too!

In these crazy times we live in, who would you rather be a Chris Rock or Will Smith?

Yes!!

Or his 😉

& wouldn't it have been glorious if rickygervais got the same treatment 🤣 Slap

You can sleep with his wife, but you can't joke about his wife. Principles. WillSmith willsmithslap WillSmithAssault

Yeah I would made many jokes about like was there ever a threesome thing since seen to be ok with her having a boyfriend but you know I too can’t wait for GI Jane 2

Oh snap!

I want to know what Gervais would’ve done if will smith had slapped him?

Exactly!

When celebrities make their private life Reality TV, they must accept they’re fodder for comedians. Gervais is brilliant & fearless- with radar for hypocrisy. Let him host next Oscars with Amy & Wanda.

Chris Rock showed grace under pressure and owned that room. Will Smith acted like a jerk. Jada has skin in this game. Grow up, that outburst hopefully makes Will the baby Smith an outcast and no longer the golden boy of Hollywood. Sickening

That would have been a better move!

Will Smith = No class Money doesn't change a person. Money and power magnify the qualities of the person, whether good or bad! Money and power just magnified Will Smith's insecurities!

Which one of them?

How about ask Jada if the drapes match the carpet.

If RickyGervais made the joke about JadaPinkettSmith, WillSmith wouldnt dare slapping n cursing a white man, he only did bec ChrisRock was black n Will thinks he is above him.sadbuttrue DoubleStandards AcademyAwards2022 ChrisRockvsWillsmith

Yes, indeed

Cuckhold is the word that comes to mind. :)

I would pay money to hear RG talk about the “entanglement.” 😂😂

Great response Ricky

Will did the right thing and the only person who should have apologized was Chris. I hate the hypocrisy. Just be a good boy and watch someone offending your wife. No and 1000 x NO. The force used to educate the so-called 'joker' was totally appropriate.

They shoulds 'got it on' there and then and kept it going to the whoops and holllering of the elite luvvies.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

chrisrock The reason he slapped Chris was not because of the joke. It was because he had been caught by his wife laughing at the joke and tried to get out of trouble with her for doing so ! It was a moment of cowardice. Stay true and keep making us laugh. ❤️

So true…..Ricky goes for the jugular.

Now that's funny rickygervais .

For the love of God Rickie you have to do it next year. All those actors cacking it will n one place. Brilliant!

Ricky Gervais is my hero ❤️

Probably they would have laughed about it. It seems to be something Jada is proud of.

I bet he wouldn't. It's easy saying that after the event when you weren't the one getting slapped.

Ricky is the best!

Would have love to see that, for sure

Yes he would of

Interesting that Will has no problem with men sleeping with his wife, but someone who makes a joke about her? She loved what was going on. Made no attempt to cool Will down. Only laughed.

😂

Will needs to finally drop Jada and her entanglement bullshit..he's an A list actor he should going to Leo Decaprio route and hooking up with hot women 25 and under. A women with a full head of hair preferably

Don’t you mean Boyfriends?

For those who side with Will Smith in all of this—next time you go see a comedian onstage, in the back of that person’s mind is whether a joke told will trigger a smithslap. Tough times for comedians.

Love Ricky Gervais 💕

Give reparations to black survivors. Help us bring harmful activists to justice w/ open conversation. fund for survivors of YCA artists: 💸 RSVP here: 🖤 YCAharm abuse abolition

Boyfriends…skank!

NATO needs to isolate Will Smith and all the academy oligarchs.

Entitlement, entitlement,entitlement! Some(not all) of these rich pricks just think they’re allowed to do anything that comes into their fat heads, with no consequences. This guy needs to be banned from the Oscar’s for life and return his Oscar.

Which is what Rebel Wilson did at the Baftas.

Rick Gervais needs to host next year and asked to be way more brutal to the Smiths!!!

That’s why we love you!! ❤️🤣❤️🤣

I would have loved to see that! Have they got an open relationship, did Jada ever confessed she cheated?

He is good mates with Rock.

🤭😅 BRILLIANT 😉

Will deserves respect. Not every man would stand up for his sons mates girlfriend.

😂😂😂

Yes You would, that why we love You... Ricky

I love Ricky. He just verbalizes what everyone is thinking but too chicken to say.

Which one?

Can we please hear it 😂🤞

Yes you would 😆😆😆

i want ricky to host next year so bad i could spit. he’d roast that awful family

Then Will can go on stage and make a joke about Ricky's girlfriend.

We need more people like Gervais

Exactly!

🤣

Excellent !

Chris rock didnot deserve a humiliation in public moreover a violation.

Lol! I would have stood up for MYSELF. I don't need someone else getting VIOLENT on my behalf.

And told Smith to 'KEEP YOUR HAIR ON' too? Its boyfriend(S) too in their 'in control marriage' by the sounds of it. I wonder if the song 'Girls & Boys' by Blur is 'their' song? 🙄 rickygervais

Next year, let Chris Rock's friend Joe Rogan present an award, make that same exact joke and watch Will Smith stay seated. 😂

It was staged.

You know Chris Rock had a rocket of a joke ready to go but held it instead.

Great to see the comedy isnt dead in some places rickygervais

If Ricky made the same joke as Chris, he would be call a White Racist and Will Smith would be touted as a Hero

😝😝😝😝😝😝💙💙💙💙💙💙

rickygervais 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 👏👏👏👏👏 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂😂😂

NateHilll

Now that’s funny 😂

That might have turned a slap into a fist.

LET ALL just jump on the band wagon now shall we ...who give a dam my dear

Justcuz2170 Which one would that have been Arron her sons best friend, the music producer,

Tjuuu😭😭This is SICKKK !🔥🙌🏿Check it out !🙏🏿🙌🏿 PodcastAndChill BBMansi
