Will Smith finally issues an apology to Chris Rock saying he was, "Out of line, and wrong". Do you forgive Will Smith?

Question

Will said when accepting the Oscar that he wants to be a, "Vessel for love" and that "love can make you do crazy things". But until he issued an apology to Rock I considered his words just lip service. I take Smith at his word now. How about you?

MCheetah · Accepted Answer

Will's mouth is full of more BS than the dicks that have been in Jada's mouth.
He is such a joke and a failure of a man. I mean, any man with self-respect would NEVER let his wife sleep with other men, and then get dogged out by her on national television several times, including at the Oscars. I think he's mentally unstable, at this point. And if he wasn't rich (or black), his ass would've gotten locked up and Canceled by the same Hollywood vultures there to give him an award. I think the pussies at the Oscars are too afraid to strip him of his award cause it'd just give BLM a reason to resurface.

And ALL the people defending this literal cuckold disappoint me. You all are pathetic. Like I said several times now, if we want to go the route of being a violent society who physically attacks people for offending them, let me know now I'll be he first one to start Purging. You want another CHOP/CHAZ? Cause I'll agree to that if you do, but I have a feeling none of you will like it cause I play dirty. Like the "bring a hired militia to a gun fight" kind of dirty.

Seriously though, let me slap you red in the face since it's all "okay" to you. Your stupidity, childishness, and selfishness offends me. THIS is the kind of crap that makes me a misanthrope to begin with. "He was right to stick up to his cheating whore wife who doesn't respect him. Good on Will for slapping a 140 pound comedian who he knows wouldn't fight back! He's not mentally unstable at all!"

Seriously, I fucking society, at this point. I'm not even in a bad mood today or anything; people are just absolute fucking idiots nowadays.

Anyway, the TL;DR is: His apology was fake, he doesn't really care, and waiting like three days for him to be turned into a meme (yet again) by literally the entire internet (even me), doesn't mean a damn thing. He should've apologized while up on stage 45 minutes later.

And have you all forgotten about Ukraine yet? Cause you were all supposed to be distracted by this to forget about Ukraine. And the high gas prices. And COVID resurging.

"They'd have a gunfight after that! Somebody had to go!"

first of all i wanna say that other ethnicities and cultures other than native American blacks dont actually understand em like their own in our culture at least we understand defendin the honor of our women so bottom line pal some of us ain't really built like that to g-check another cat when he gets outta line now i respect and like both brothers Chris was outta line for what he said and got g checked for it now if i was Chris im tellin y'all right now i ain't built to just take someone pullin up on me and i dont do shit about it systematic white supremacy and the fact that Chris was even given the chance to press charges is the real reason this happened to begin with white supremacist basically get orgasms off of black folks fightin then got the nerve to try and check us on that shit that they already understand what it is but feel like with their etnicity power structure and God complex to go along with it actually permits em to try and check us based on em feelin like they're actually authorized to do that as a result of all that so sayin what I've sayin on this issue ill leave ya with that and im done

I think I am the only one about to say this; but; I think Will Smith's reaction was much less about Chris Rock and much more to do with emotional issues he has been having for years with his wife. I think it has all boiled over. I truly believe this. I believe he is extremely stressed by their marraige/dynamic. Everyone gets the feeling Jada does not value Will as much as Will values Jada. Will should have never smacked Chris Rock. I felt bad for Chris as he looked really embarassed. That being said, I DONT think the Academy should strip Will of his award. He has worked so many decades to get to this point and has never ever f*cked up before. What I think they SHOULD do is ban his presence from being at the award show for a certain number of years and emphasize that there will be consequences for assault.

DizzyDesii · Accepted Answer

I think Will has insecurity and mental issues due to not feeling like he's enough for his wife. So when Jada apologizes to Will (which will never happen), i dont believe his apology to Chris Rock. I mean i dont think Will meant to hurt him but he failed to standup for and impress his wife once again. He’ll never be enough in her eyes. And she's not a cheater because they agreed to an open relationship early on. But i do believe she doesn't respect him as a man. I also find him quite feminine. Overall, i see their relationship as toxic bt at the same time im on the oustide looking in

chefsam · Answer

Yeah, definitely forgive him. I think for him, he just snapped and had enough. After months & probably years of being embarrassed by his wife’s actions, people talking so much trash about his marriage to Jada, all the jokes and memes all done over the internet & live TV; he had enough of people playing with him. And also too, Jada has a disease that causes her to be bald; so I’m sure Chris Rock didn’t know that when he made that joke. Joking around about people is normal, always happens. Joking about someone’s family or condition someone has in the same room, that’ll happen

ohshee · Answer

Anybody that goes back and watches when people arrive onto the red carpet they have their picture taken in blah blah blah well when Will Smith and Jada walked onto the red carpet you can look at Will Smith's eyes and tell that he with irritated when you first got to that place I don't know what happened before you got there but he didn't look right and to be honest it's none of my business I think it was totally uncalled for but I think it was more than just a joke I think he was already irritated before he walked up and did what he did to Chris Rock

Genie23 · Answer

Yes, I do as his apology seems really genuine. I was very disappointed, shocked and angry yesterday as I really liked him as an actor and as a person and even follow his YouTube channel. This is not what I expected from someone who knows that many fans are youngsters and kids. He should have thought twice before doing something like that in front of everyone at Oscar and on TV.

laurieluvsit · Answer

FIRST TAKING THIS ENTIRE EVENT AT FACE VALUE HERE IS MY ANSWER:

If you are a Christian you have no other choice but to forgive him. I would indeed because the bible says that if you don't forgive, neither will you be forgiven.

As an Atheist, you can throw him under the bus without looking back... your choice :)

Will Smith finally issues an apology to Chris Rock saying he was, "Out of line, and wrong". Do you forgive Will Smith?

Now, all that being said here is this take.

The Oscars are in the tank. Ratings are at sewer levels because of all the debauchery that Hollywood is trying to force down the throats of the American people, and the mind control being utilized to do it.

This could have easily been staged and planned in advance as publicity and a way of boosting the ratings for future Oscar events.

At least that is up for consideration.

Miristheiss · Answer

The apology should be directly with Chris Rock.
Any public statement just given "to the world" is crap.
Who did he apologize to? Was it just some press release or twitter comment apologizing vaguely to no one specific.
Only a face to face or a one on one call to Chris will count. All others are just PR bullsheeet.

Dazed0N0Confused · Answer

He only did it because he could lose his membership in the academy & could never be nominated again. He should have stuck to his initial response of finding the joke funny & telling Jada she should go handle her own inability to be amused by a joke at her expense herself. Not going up & slapping Rock. Plus he should've been escorted off the property for his behavior!

ZackBan · Answer

I've always been a fan of Will Smith and as far as acting goes I always will be.
But he's an idiot outside of that.
And so is anyone who belives that humor should be sensored or limited.
When someone is making a joke it's simply a joke, you can not like you but you cannot go after the person making it.
How many times are we gonna see this happen, be it Dave Chapelle or Chirs Rock or any other stand up comedian. They will say things for shits and giggles and that's where it should remain.

DaveJord · Answer

I consider it all lip service... other wise referred to as "Bull Shit"! I do not forgive him, because there is nothing for me to forgive. I give two shits about it, because it doesn't effect me in the least.
But I guarantee you this, if I was a white man slapped Chris Rock I would be in jail for assault and rightfully so, so why is Will Smith be any different? So may levels of hypocrisy at play here... lol

In the end actions are greater then words... and he showed us that he has an flawed definition of love, or his action tell more about who he truly is.

lightbulb27 · Answer

He’s a good fella … been through the ringer. Emotionally in the edge and went too far… not unlike many others in the news that lose control of their emotions. Glad he wasn’t armed.

I don’t care but at least someone in society is owning up to their behavior. Maybe chris should work better jokes rather than insulting peoples looks? He was right though she did look gi Jane and it wasn’t that insulting. Two sides to every coin.

Gigi2019 · Answer

I'm sure neither Smith nor Rock will get the punishment that they actually deserve. Both men are already filthy rich and middle-aged in a post Hollywood era and they've already cashed their checks. If Rock sues Will for assault and battery, Will and Jada could sue Rock for slandering Jada and causing her pain and suffering. Let this hot mess go.

purplepoppy · Answer

He should be arrested for assault. If a member of the public did that they would be

fireforeffect · Answer

Violence can never be condoned. What should have happened is that Will Smith should have walked up to the Podium and asked Chris Rock over the Microphone, "how does it feel to make fun of a person with a disease?" Do you Chris Rock also go around and make fun of people with Cancer, or in Wheelchairs? How big a man does that make you feel to make money by making jokes of other people's infirmities?

England4eva · Answer

Love and violence do not go together. Thoroughly disappointed in will smith.

Jersey2 · Answer

His “wife” has screwed him up completely along with the ungrateful friend of his son, August. But that doesn’t change things. We all know if a white guy did what Will Smith did he would be cancelled immediately. Smith needs to be permanently banned from the academy.

If they take his Oscar, what happens, does it go to the next person, is there no one that won, is there an asterisk near his name?

DownIndaDumpz · Answer

I dunno. Maybe. But I think less of him as a person now and I don't like him as much as I use to.. I now see him as a weak cowardly unbrave man... He chose to do it to someone shorter than him who wouldn't fight back to look "tough"

Now he has to go do that same thing to someone his own size or bigger if he wants my respect back

Crepe_tart · Answer

Sure. I'm not that type of person who is like: I want him to apologize on his knees. But I wish we would get a response from Chris Rock too

blackgaletiger · Answer

Long story short, none of our view points matter in this situation. It all depends on Chris Rock and whether no not he forgives Will Smith. Only Will Smith knows why he truly did what he did and only Chris Rock knows what he could have done. Before we jump to any conclusion we should let Chris Rock speak for himself in a matter when he is ready to do so

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

I don't know if I believe him. I thought he slapped Chris Rock because he was a. Man of principle. But he's saying he let his emotions control his actions... That's not what a man does. Especially a man with a family.

I'm really disappointed in him. Loved Will growing up. He seems like someone who has been through a lot and lost his compass for life.

TommyMountainFigure · Answer

If this all wasn't for show he would have waited until he got him backstage THEN walloped him.. The fact this was all as public as it gets? Nah sorry.. For me this was 100% staged for publicity!
Disagree? Just look at the business they are in for Christ's Sake. Instead of it being in a movie, they carried it out live.. That's all. Nothing more!

Imsmurter1 · Answer

Even if will apologizes (which I accept) it tarnishes his image of being a civilized person (in my opinion). Someone makes a bad joke and his recourse was to use violence and profanity. It’s just not a civil way to deal with things period. The joke wasn’t even that offensive it was a super tame joke. Getting butthurt over nothing.

Heartache0405 · Answer

Yes, I forgive Will because it wasn't something he wanted to do. He was provoked by his toxic ass cheating "wife" who has him on a leashed shock collar and only let's him go when he's doing something that defends her and demasculates him and makes him look bad in front of the entire world. While she just sits there and smirks knowing what she did.

KostasKouvalis · Answer

Nah. He's only apologizing because he's taking heat for it. I always thought he was overrated, and now I have a genuine reason to dislike him

Still-alive · Answer

sure but this is gonna follow both celebrities for the rest of their lives now lol this will be the thing people will link Will Smith with forever now

josephinelcajon · Answer

No its too late! The only reason he said it was to save his ass!

cth96190 · Answer

Had I been in Chris Rock’s position, Will Smith would have been on the wrong end of a lifetime of devotion to Shotokan karate.
Will Smith fights like a drunk schoolgirl.
A block, an arm break, an elbow to his ribs and a back fist to the mouth and it would have been over in about two seconds.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

Two entertainers entertained us. What's there to forgive? Their cheap style?

JosyJosy · Answer

I would he definitely knew he was wrong. He is good at speeches but this time you saw him stressing, and that was because of what happened prior to that speech. He knew he did wrong and he's not proud of it.

Katebfun · Answer

I never had a reason to forgive Will Smith. He reacted like many people would to protect his wife. That joke was out-of line

Paige90 · Answer

No! I use to like Will Smith but will never watch his movies again

Киттйлинк · Answer

No. And doing his drama shit crying and saying love makes you do crazy things is repulsive. What a shitty ass person. The idiot audience laughs.

MrsTurkleton · Answer

The only person who should “forgive” or accept the apology is Chris himself, and maybe the academy.  He hasn’t done anything to us

AviatorTom · Answer

There's no reason for me to forgive anyone. That would be Chris Rock's responsibility

More importantly, Will Smith owes Jada, his wife, and apology, since he made such a big deal about her alopecia so that now everyone knows about it.

maverick2022 · Answer

Nope, apologizing afterwards doesn't make it okay. Will Smith is a joke. He doesn't write his own comedy or his own music. He's nothing but an act, through and through.

Datboi65 · Answer

Your forgiveness doesn't mean shit as far as I'm concerned. If Cris Rock forgiveness him, then he's good.

SaoirseS · Answer

He doesn’t need my forgiveness, I wasn’t the one he slapped.

Kiran_Yagami · Answer

Not unless there's real ramifications for his actions. Any one of us would be arrested for assault and banned from the event for life. But because Will Smith is a celebrity, none of that is likely to happen. He's gonna get away with it and use "love makes you go crazy" as an excuse, when in reality being cucked by your own wife on national TV is what makes you crazy.

katiesmuff · Answer

I didn't have a problem with him in the first place.

Agape93 · Answer

No apology needed to begin with, far as I'm concerned. He did good.

t-8900 · Answer

He should apologize to his own manhood if he can find it. Ah who am I kidding he lost it so long ago it's over for him. Jada got him so firmly by th castration scar it ain't even funny. What a total cuck. 🤡

Jkyutipi · Answer

Nope. Violence is never the answer. Especially not over a joke.

MecheD · Answer

That apology was truly bs. It should be issued publicly as the "assault" was. Words with no action displayed is the equivalence of the statement "I'm Sorry" in comparison to " With deepest regret". He's way to old for the childs play.

Daniela1982 · Answer

He embarrassed Chris on stage so he should apologize to him publicly on stage.

CandiceK · Answer

If Will went up on stage and slapped a woman, he'd be wearing an orange jump suit right now.

genericname85 · Answer

i love how the media acts as if there's not more important stuff to report on than some idiotic actor slapping another idiotic actor.

Armourdillo · Answer

I think the situation is a lot simpler than it seems. He had a human moment of losing control. Doesn't excuse what he did, but I don't see any reason to assume his apology wasn't real? Him and Chris Rock are pretty fucking close lol.

He should and probably does know better, he just got emotional. People read into it to make it about their virtue signaling beliefs.

SlightlyEccentric · Answer

The only person whose apology needs to matter to Will Smith is Chris Rock's. Like no one else needs to "forgive" him because they weren't the victim.

slatyb · Answer

I don't have to forgive Will Smith. He didn't slap me.

EricDavis10554 · Answer

It could just be a trap to lure Chris in for another slap.

douride2 · Answer

Why would I forgive him? He never smacked me. The only person who should offer him forgiveness is Rock. That is if he accepts wills excuse.

maymay2125 · Answer

Honestly I’m just tired of hearing about this and people taking sides. They were both in the wrong in my opinion. Chris could’ve just not said anything about his wife and will could’ve handled the situation better.

ColoradoKid · Answer

I can't say Will was right. That being said Chris should not have made a joke about some ones wife. Most men who love thier wives will defend them one way or 2. Chris being a comedian more than likely has a tougher skin when it comes to jokes.

RasmusAiken · Answer

Will Smith has lost status. I wouldn't wish for him to promote my products. Still I believe there is a solid guy underneath all that vitriol. He will need time.

888theGreat · Answer

Only because his ass is on the chopping block. He is trying to get less sanctions and punishment. I bet he is calling Chris Rock and his mother every name in the book.

He hasn’t wronged me so there’s nothing to forgive but if I was Rock I’d forgive him.

Don't care... It's all hollywood drama. Besides, *If Will Smith has to apologize, then so should Chris Rock for talking shit. The whole thing is just media noise.

IDGAS one way or the other (sorry about the vulgarity).

Wester1967 · Answer

Jada is pure toxic. Will needs an intervention before he gets himself killed. No amount of money will save you from a toxic narcissist relationship
