He slapped him because of HER reaction. Go look at the video. He's laughing just as much as the rest of the audience before the camera cuts away. She 100% got on his ass about it so then he went and did that shit.
Are you implying that makes it better? Or worse?
Worse. He wasn't even actually angry. He did it because the woman who laughed about cheating on him on national TV gave him a dirty look. Threw away his entire fucking career because for her.
To be fair, he is probably set for life anyway. And I think his career was spiraling anyway. What good things has he been in recently?
I hear King Richard is good. I would say that might be a bit of a sign that is career wasn't really spiraling considering... You know... The night he slapped Chris Rock he was there to receive his very first Oscar in his entire career for his performance in that exact movie.
Does it matter? We know he can drop a stellar performance with the right production. Fact is, Will Smith isn't going anywhere unless he retires, he can have a career as long as Morgan Freeman's if he gets his personal life in check.
He'll be back.
Shit man, Mel Gibson disappeared for like 10 years after going all racist anti-semite on the phone yelling at his girlfriend that one time. Just laid low, then directed Hacksaw Ridge and everyone was just like "hey! He apologized, and this film was alright!"
Yup, he liked the joke until he turned to her and saw the death glare. Jada has always been horrible, and this is just another example of it. It doesn’t excuse his behavior, but it does point to why he did it.
