Smith’s wife had short hair.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.
Please try again later.

he should have been arrested

Crap

The man’s clearly lost it.

Black on black crime so it's cool...

And?

I'm not going to whatever movie they are trying to put people in a good mood about, I just don't like Will Smith or his wife....or even going to the movies anymore. Ricky Gervais explained perfectly why, if you mist know

move on from this dude

Yawn! I have no use for either of these losers!

Who cares?

The way that Jada looked at Will after Chris made his comment about her baldness was what set it in motion.

Ahhh the PR image-fixers have finally gotten to work. Time for the Will Smith contrition tour.

bottled up rage.... as in too much testosterone injection?

Who is Will Smith?

Pathetic excuse for a human

This belongs on the last page of the weekend edition.

Now that he has something to promote, he apologizes.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 He didn't lose it. He didn't wanna lose Jada. He found Chris's joke funny. We all saw that.

His pocket will feel the effects.

Enough with these stories - worry about something important like recessions, runaway inflation, exploding borders, inner city crime - you know, be journalists.

Will must be losing money. Where was this 1 year ago?

im pretty sure he would've been able to control his anger if it were a Hells Angel cracking those jokes instead of Chris Rock.

Still fake news. It was just a way to grab attention. Watch the original video and you can see it's a Hollywood slap, performed by Hollywood's best

Old man still processing his childhood, omg.

Apparently a lot of Black men have bottled up rage. It’s playing out on the streets in the largest US cities.

New movie … time for PR repair work. “I did a bad thing but I’m a victim too.” Sure Will, you’re not excusing your behaviour, but you brought it up for some reason. Lost respect for Trevor Noah for facilitating this BS.

He’s learning how to forgive himself…lol…what?

Will who?

Smith only made one mistake. The fact it wasn't Jada that was on the receiving end of that slap given she was the one who had an 'entanglement' with August Alsina.

Great news. Totally BS

funny how WillSmith isn't in jail, like average guys who 'Lost It'. Chris Rock - Black People VS. Niggaz (Bring the Pain 1996)

Oh really? I'm sure this has little to do with an upcoming movie.

Will Smith needs to understand that an apology is simple. No explanation required. His “explanation” of his childhood is b.s.

His career is over yous will be irrelevant soon if yous don't do better 🤣🤣🤣🤣. No one cares about will Smith anymore.

Don’t care 🤷🏽‍♂️

When you cancelled, you start to listen…

Are we really still doing this? This was totally staged. Just let it go.

Everyone makes mistakes

It was staged. They are professional actors

Wills slap

Bullshit.

Jada wears the pants in their relationship

So his bad behavior is because, he had anger. Try anger management.

Nobody cares… think how many people die for the war right now

I pay for your publication. Don’t post this crap. Nobody cares.

Bottled up rage over what? Growing up as a privileged American? Being astronomically wealthy and famous?

Oh really

Gotta love the celeb apology tour….

WASTE TIME! Garbage family racist and degenerated couple.

NOBODY CARES

Nobody gives a shit. Chris Rock sold out all his shows the next week after the slap so he doesn’t give a shit either.

They need to ask him why they staged that weird event in which he slapped him also what happened to his children

He's the victim, right?

Wow, I didn't realize it was a horrific decision. All good. Any new movies to promote?

STOP GIVING THIS CRIMINAL A VOICE!!!!

WSJ goes tabloid. wow.

He should let Chris Rock slap him at next year's Oscars. I think everyone would feel ok about moving on after that.

Congratulations WSJ. You published worthless fluff. Will Smith had a big, satisfied grin on his face when he hit Rock. That's not someone who 'lost it.' That's someone who thought he would get praise and accolades for what he did. Now he's begging so he can make more movies.

Assaulted someone then partied that same night. Now That’s Privilege.

Lol..People always say mistake? It’s called a bad decision. A mistake is something you do in error a bad decision is caused by using poor judgment. I think Chris Rock would feel better if Will apologized at next year’s Oscar’s😆

I would slap some dude disrespecting my wife, too. Dude is one of my hero’s. Glad to see someone stand up for their morals, ethics, opinions, and family respect.

Weak.

New movie coming out? Yeah, let’s get you in front of a camera and say you are sorry. Just not to the victim’s face. Indeed, Chris Rock was a victim of a crime.

It was all good as he was laughing at the joke before Jada gave him the Look of Death.

It was certainly a mistake. It was not however a mistake that should overwhelm Will Smith’s body of work or his ability to move forward. He apologized and since charges were not pressed then he can learn from this and move on. None of us are perfect.

bad decisions = booze

Rage from being cucked out all over Hollywood? Don't blame Rock for your wife being a whore. Just get out of that relationship.

The prisons are full of bottled up rage

Everyone agrees it was a bad decision. Why are we still talking about it?

Everyone was thinking it, he just went ahead and did it.

He slapped Chris. R and in return the world slap him back

Simp, can't believe people looked up to you 🤦🏽‍♂️

that's who he is now: the guy who slapped Chris Rock, live, at the oscars.

…and he’s paying the price.

Good explanation William
