“...I don’t wanna say what we talked about, but there but for the grace of God go any of us. Who are we to condemn? I don’t know all the ins and outs of this situation, but I know the only solution was prayer, the way I saw it—the way I see it,” he said.

spoke about during the Oscars. Washington, Tyler Perry, and Bradley Cooper each approached the actor after he slapped Chris Rock over a joke at Jada Pinkett Smith’s expense. Thereports that author and pastor T.D. Jakes asked Washington about the slap while the actor appeared at his leadership summit on Saturday.

did he go to chris and see if he was ok? he is the victim in this scenario ..not that fool will

Truer words have never been spoken. Thank you Denzel.

The world has just seen what America offers to the cultivated society.

Right….now ws will find jesus and become a saint …so disappointed on Denzel..a

Clearly, Smith dismissed grace at the moment, and God has nothing to do with it. So, yes, people can “condemn” or hold Smith accountable.

Denzel Washington: There but for the grace of God go any of us. Who are we to condemn? Next scene: Will Smith partying his heart out at the Vanity Fair Party getting jiggy with his Oscar trophy like there's no tomorrow.

Denzel!...

Nothing fails like prayer.

Fuk you Denzel. God has nothing to do with this. Smith committed an assault and I condemn it as I condemn police murdering black people. Stop making excuses for Smith or suffer the consequences of being condemned too. Who am I go condemn? A person who knows right from wrong.

Prayers just make the one doing it feel good. Period.

“There but for the Grace of God..” bullshit is typical abuse dismissal. Should we say this after we beat children?

If you're after having a few drinks and someone insults a family member it's better to sort it out there and then rather than letting it swirl around in your brain upsetting you, after all it was a slap and he rolled away from it like he was expecting it.

This is not a heroic position for Denzel Washington. Acting as an apologist for Smith’s criminal conduct, Washington tries to shame our sense of injury.

Pulling the God card.

Why does Jada Pinkett Smith cut holes in her pants pockets? So she can run her fingers through her hair.

a normal person does not assault

Thought Will was a Scientologist

This eerily sounds like the propaganda BS that The Family cult pushes. If Will Smith was close with God, Will Smith wouldn't have violently assaulted Chris Rock over words.

lol prayer

I never thought of meeting a legit bitcoin trader after been scammed many times at my age but the heavens sent rachel_cargle guided me and help me make a living through bitcoin with my coinbase app, I recommend you to meet her now and also be a beneficiary of good work

All I know is Don Rickles never got punched in the face onstage during his entire career.

Denzel should avoid contact with the 🦨Smith the social stench can spread if you try to defend this criminal behavior.🤔

Yeah shut up., next time comfort the victim.

I'm sure all is fixed now

Say what Denzel Washington? Now and especially, on the subject of an Assault against a Comedian doing his job at an Oscar Event. One cannot and should not indulge in any form of equivocation about who is Guilty. Unfortunately, Will Smith acted like a thug..

I think will smith stank might rub off on Denzel

Oh Will, I do believe you judged and condemned Chris Rock on national television. Did you want Chris to turn the other cheek?

🤢

Jfc

Prayer: the ultimate cop out.

did lord xenu answer those prayers

If someone slaps Denzel then I hope he has this much forgiveness.

'Smith was raised in a Baptist household and attended a Roman Catholic school and church. In a 2013 interview, he said he did not identify as religious.'

Maybe a chance to move toward God & away from the Scientology that he got pulled into DenzelI ;I also knew when I kept seeing everything involving the Polyamorous discussions that the stress was building up for certain. That is where his Life Coach failed him. THR TheAcademy

Will Smith Never ‘Formally’ Asked to Leave Oscars After Chris Rock Slap: ReportThe news comes less than a day after the Academy said Smith ‘refused’ to leave the venue following the attack. DeBoy55868060 More time passes and the more i’m proud of Taylor Swift for surrounding herself with people who look exactly like her. “These” people are full of anger and they want to destroy white people. Look what happened between Taylor (a discriminated woman) and Kanye! If they really wanted him to leave they wouldn’t have given him an award 10 minutes later.
