I don't know what medication Will was on before the Oscars, but they must have kicked in at that moment.
The Oscar Academy is an arse! Why they have comedians to conduct the ceremony with total freedom allowing them to make personal insults to the actors??? The Oscar Academy should take the blame and address this grave problem 👎👎👎👎👎
The Academy did not condemn his actions. Their words mean nothing. Just like Will Smith's words (apology) means nothing. Actions speak louder than words. The Academy did nothing and gave him a standing ovation. Their actions speak louder than their words.
He apologized! Apologized! If he wants to tweet or even goes on a tv program & apologize, it means absolutely nothing! It wouldn't be anything but him trying to cover his own ass after seeing the backlash from celebrities & the public. IF he was truly sorry & felt bad he would have addressed Chris the second he went on stage to accept his award but he did no such thing. The apology to audience & academy gave the vibe he was sorry so many had to witness it. Even though Chris Rocks joke was about hair saying Jada & GI Jane in the same sentence isn't a bad thing. G.I. Jane was a strong woman who never backed down. Jada did a boo hoo face when "GIJ" joke was said but she always mentions how she loves the bald look so I will agree with others who are saying "she knew this was an important night for WILL (& others) but made it about her!
Sorry but Im surprised this incident hasn't caused any racism. Then again, they were both black, which is probably why. (If one of them was white, then there would have been.)
That makes me think the academy (as well as other events like that) will think of black celebrities as criminals, and it will be "Oscars So White" from now on. (Good thing Whoopi Goldberg wasn't there, or we'd be reminded of what she said about the holocaust.)
There is no way they take oscar off will smith.he got standing ovation.just like roman polanski. polanski could not even step in to usa.for his oscar for what he did to 13 year old girl.i think Hollywood is sick.look it up.
"Batter up!!"
If you didn't think the Academy and Hollywood elites were scummy enough, now they're trying to silence smaller youtubers posting videos about this with lawsuits…

Too little, too late. He should have been removed from the event immediately.
"Not in line with THEIR standards." WHAT standards? These people have NEVER had standards!
At first I thought it was funny but will Smith actions are sickening
AMERICA – THIS WILL SMITH ACT IS THE TYPICAL EXAMPLE AND THE TYPE OF BEHAVIOR THAT THIS ABC NEWS STATION AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, OUR MORON PRESIDENT BIDEN AND THE REST OF THE SOCIALIST DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS WHO HATE AMERICA ENCOURAGES AND WANT TO BRING TO US. DEMOCRATIC VOTERS – DEFEND YOUR COUNTRY AND SAY NO TO ALL THIS STUPIDITY THAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WANTS TO IMPOSE IN OUR COUNTRY AND THAT THE MORONS OF THIS STATION ENDORSED AND APPROVED SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY ARE BEING PAID LARGE SUMS OF MONEY TO PROTECT THE DEMOCRATS. HOW COME WILL SMITH WAS NOT ARRESTED SHOWS YOU THAT THEY THINK THAT THEY CAN BE ABOVE THE LAW AND WHAT WE NEED IN OUR COUNTRY IS PEACE, SECURITY, LAW AND ORDER. NO WONDER SO MANY PEOPLE ARE LEAVING CALIFORNIA AND WHY HOLLYWOOD STARS ARE NO LONGER GOOD OR FAMOUS TO US. THERE ARE JUST TONS OF IDIOTS THAT DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT THESE DEMOCRATS WITH THEIR "SOFT ON CRIME" POLICIES, AND TWISTED IDEAS AS OF DEFUND THE POLICE, OPEN OUR BORDERS, JUDGES NOT PUNISHING CRIMINALS ETC. WILL RUIN AMERICA. NOW, DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS THE WORST??? THAT THIS FAKE NEWS STATION WON'T REPORT IT AND WILL LIE TO US AGAIN LIKE THEY DID WITH TRUMP WHEN HE WAS INNOCENT OF EVERYTHING AND THEY KEPT LYING TO US. THEY ATTACKED OUR GREAT PRESIDENT TRUMP 24/7 AND NOW TAKE A LOOK AT OUR COUNTRY. INFLATION UP, CRIME UP, ILLEGALS POURING UP, A WAR UP, GAS UP, GROCERY PRICES UP, ETC. BELIEVE WE THAT WE WON'T FORGET FROM THIS STATION THE HIDING OF THE 2020 STOLEN ELECTIONS AND EVERYTHING THE HIDE TO PROTECT THE WORST DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS EVER SEEN IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY.
BLM scripted scene
And yet, did nothing.
Those cheering baboons are all brain-warped and void of humanity
Chris Rock will be reminded of this assult every day for the rest of his life. Will Smith should be reminded of this assult every day of his life by taking away his Oscar..
Jada was Will's downfall.
Remember when jada blame Will for her cheating on him?
Ooh sorry i meant
Entanglement sorry jada entanglement.
The insurance will need Will gone. Will does not have better command of the English language. Smith did not apologize to me, my grandchildren, if I were a comedian. I could not play the Academy Awards. I will not watch King Richard and I will not watch the Academy Awards if Will Smith returns.
a "tweet" is not an apology tho.
A liitle late response. 🙄
Will smith slapped Hollywood in the face! Live on television,and there's nothing they can do about it! That was fuuuunnyyyy!!
Oscar academy cant be trusted they allowed violent happen
Academy says condem what smith reaction but doing nothing
Omg Jada was laughing after her husband slapped Chris on live television as shown in the video links is below.
https://youtu.be/YxGT4a5CFmE
Bravo to the person who took this video & posted it here!
Truth has been exposed!
Will Smith damaged himself and credibility of Oscar.
So next year Oscar or future years anyone could just punch or slap or scream F word to the host or any performer and at the end bring home the winning Prestigious Oscar????
He should have been escorted out right there and then.
He committed a crime or violence physically & verbally on the stage itself of Oscar! So disrespectful to all the people inside the venue & the academy itself!
He was even as well laughing for that joke. A joke with no malice or intent to hurt others at all that's why Chris even said he loves Jada as respect to her.
His award should be Revoked as Best Actor + Be ban Lifetime in attending Oscar + Revoke Membership in Oscar.
His speech is hypocrite, the opposite of what he just done on stage to Chris.
This is not only a civil case but as well a criminal case for physical assault & slander by deeds.
This act of Will Smith & Jada and their children not stopping their father for physical violence is a visible way showing that physical violence is common practice in their family! Shame on them!
If Will Smith could do this in live broadcast in television on stage during Oscar, what more behind the camera !!!!
And that other idiot woman saying she’s ashamed of being white!!!!!!
They won’t do anything to him …. imagine if smith was white he would be incarcerated!!!!! Will don’t mind other men doing his wife?????
The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
What's taking so long with actions to hold him accountable. If one of us did that we will be in jail..assaulting someone is considered a crime. Stop holding Wills hand and take action academy ridiculous delays…
Jada put her life on front street when she had an affair with her sons friend in their house while married to Will.
This is ridiculous. Overhair loss really, thousands of women lose their hair every day due to disease cancer treatment or hereditary. G.I. Jane was a compliment not a criticism. Call me G.I. Jane, fixing to lose my hair to the second round of cancer treatment within 25 years. Proud strong and hopefully beautiful. Demi Moore was definitely beautiful.
So who's supposed to be the devil that Denzel was referring to when talking to Will??
This was not the whole apology. If it was, it would seem sincere. The first part he gives reasons why which negates the excuse
Is supporting the Oscars now supporting violence?
Will Smith is an ass. Needs to be dealt with severely. This should have never happened. Will's first and last Oscar. He had no high moment. He's an ASS.
ABC is in trouble too with the FCC. For not blocking it out. And many people are upset because their young children witnessed it and they're writing letters. If ya did this for ratings, …. Oops. 👀
Will Smith, neanderthal. Boycott him!
The Academy had "serious discussions" about having Smith leave after he assaulted someone on stage. Wow. Scary. ÂÂ
That is truly entitled behavior.
Ok, something interesting. Hours before the show apparently, Jada took to her Instagram saying she loves her bald head. Also posted pictures of herself in not 1, not 2, but 3 pics of her selfish self, stating fingers crossed (but for who? Will was nominated not Jada) Her displeasure had him working in her honor, however, I believe she had him losing his mind because love is blind. Her narcissist rolls of the eyes for f'ing what man? Her narcissistic manipulative ways has him completely emasculated. Poor Will is neutered, completely ball-less and whooped over a constant cheating what? What he did was sad, and he needs help apparently. His personal life and what he did makes no sense. He still violated the law and I guess academy's code of ethics. Jada and Will should be banned, period. I do believe even though he might have earned that award, the hypocrisy in his speech was a joke, his refusal to apologize to Chris, and his refusal of not leaving after violation of the rules there, he earned the right for them to take it back. Let him have an empty one, without his name on it. I'll never see this movie now. Will, Denzel had a point, but uh … there's over 134 scriptures on the importance of guarding your heart and not being led astray.
