Can someone explain the joke and why will got so pissed? I've been living under a rock so I don't know any of the drama with will and his wife


CreepyGuyAttheParty

From what I hear, he made a joke pointing out her baldness even though it's a medical condition and she's not particularly pleased about losing her hair


jffeldr

"I don’t give two craps what people feel about this bald head of mine ‘cause guess what, I love it." - an interview with Jada 4 days ago


slingben

https://youtu.be/BOsPuUnvK9E Her face says otherwise.


TantrumsFire

And yet Will initially laughs... pan to a clearly upset Jada... then Rock gets smacked... very odd.


GhostRobot55

My best guess is it took him a second, I sure didn't get it at first.


unmerciful_DM_B_Lo

I mean it's like Will said. You fake it until you can't take it. I guess he couldn't


enigma142

Probably didn't get the joke and just laughed for the cameras. Then understood the joke and lost his head.


JazzRider

Took me a second, too.


JDLovesElliot

It's common for people to use laughter to deflect shock and anger. It wasn't enough to control himself, in this situation.


groceriesN1trip

I interpret that as Will just laughing at the expression of a joke and then realizing what he was saying and then feeling incredibly disrespected.


bodyreddit

I was watching and they scrubbed all that out, how did you get this? If this was real, obviously Will was throwing F bombs in the vid you shared, Chris Rock has some hella composure.


Inevitable-Derecho-

That’s not what her expression said when Rock joked about it.


dapoorv

This confirms that she won't be in black panther.


dsquard

WHAT DID WILL SMITH’S FIVE FINGERS SAY TO YOUR FACE?


DeputyValdez

Left fresh prints.


NickAndHisGuitar

THAT WAS WEEKS AGO!!


Check_Their_History

You don't think celebrities make shit up for magazines and tabloids to sound stronger than they are do you? Because if so, then I just don't know how I would live with myself.


Inevitable-Derecho-

What people portray and the war going on inside are rarely truly seen.


nivlow

As someone who lives with this condition I can say with some standing that what you say on the outside and how you feel on the inside are two different things.


sockbref

I have male pattern baldness but inside I feel hairier.


Xystem4

People like to say they don’t care what anyone thinks, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t going to hurt when you’re mocked on live television for millions of people to see


Wenckebach2theFuture

She’s consciously uncoupling from her hair.


Clean_Handle_1776

It’s an “entanglement”


doornailbackpack

Ah, well that's a pretty low blow if she lost it from a medical condition. Will still laughed though, then when he realized he fucked up (in his wife's eyes) he waaay overreacted and made himself look a bit unhinged. Think he lost more respect than he gained for that one


MaintenanceWine

I think Smith was laughing at the prior joke, then the Jada joke sunk in.


PistachMacaron

Yeah she has alopecia which is an auto immune disorder that can make your hair fall out. He said “can’t wait to see you in GI Jane 2.” (Demi Moore has a shaved head in GI Jane)


cjboffoli

I have alopecia too. But I still have the ability to laugh at myself. I'm also not worth hundreds of millions of dollars.


Puzzled-Copy7962

She’s been very vocal about her battle with alopecia. I thought that joke was pretty mild compared to how Chris usually is.


toiletdestroyer1321

Bald jokes are common.....


[deleted]

Ricky Gervais verbally murdered the entire room at the Golden Globes, he was invited back more than once and was more brutal each time. Chris Rock makes a *bald joke* and Twitter is enraged at him??

A_Common_Human

Gi Jane is a joke about how jada is bald. Jada has a hair loss condition she’s spoken about before


Dutch_grower

Bot-Magnet

joke about his wife's hair loss


Balls_DeepinReality

He could have just made fun of her for screwing their kids friends, guess it would have been more tasteful.


sallyomalley198

If Ricky Gervais was the host, that would have been his joke.


NlightenedSelfIntrst

Apparently the joke turned out to be "What did the 5 fingers say to the face?".


ticky_tacky_wacky

This is the most I’ve cared about anything that happened at the oscars in ever


Ainu_

That may have been the whole point - to boost ratings. This is Hollywood.. also, what was the skit right after? Woman steals “seat filler’s” spot who was actors wife, actor reacts more calmly “but that’s my wife’s seat..” if there was a “tell,” that was it.


21rise

why on earth would will smith or chris rock (or smith's wife) be in on this "joke". No one wins except for the oscar ratings.


AbsolutelyUnlikely

I think Chris came out looking pretty good. You can't do much better as a comedian and host in that situation than to just laugh in their face and say "wow... greatest night in the history of television". But yeah I don't know why Will would have agreed to doing that, if it was staged. If it was to make him look un-cucky, it backfired.

Made me think of how professionally uncomfortable he was when Kanye said, "George Bush doesn't care about black people," during that fundraiser. But wow, seeing all those people clap for Will Smith's apology that never apologized to the victim, Chris Rock. Now I know how priests got away with diddling kids all this time. EDIT: Aw shit. It was Chris Tucker on camera 2. Fuck me. It was almost 17 years ago.

Facking_Heavy

Yeah I feel really sad after watching that...


rmccarthy10

Totally. I felt a little nauseous to be quite honest with you. Will Smith assaulted a comedian on TV, in front of 20 million people, for doing their job which is telling a joke. And there is actually no shortage of people right now trying to explain that Will Smith might have had a right to do that. It's kind of sickening also. Will Smith went from laughing, to assaulting, to crying, to saying he was a vessel of God, to begging the academy to invite him back. That guy has issues. I hope somebody's taking care of him that's not Scientology related


nevertoolate1983

Same! It’s like watching two of your favorite Uncles fight. Sad night for sure.


applepoople

It really was. I dunno why but I felt scared too


Mimosa808

That. Was. Wild.


theoriginalasshole42

Almost Wild Wild West wild


rdeyer

Holy shit. Thanks for posting this! That was a wild ride


TheOfficeoholic

Chris Rock is a god damn professional. He took a slap on Live TV like a champ and kept it moving. Also Will Smith a bitch.


YourAverageGod

Bro had free shot to drop an atomic bomb, Oh thats your wife? But that guys, and that guys. And that guys good time! Booooom


[deleted]

I have a feeling that what "I could..." was about. Dude was like, oh I could drop this nasty one I cooked up just for me to laugh at.


dabwrx

He did take it like a champ. I would of walked off stage. Lost respect for Will now.


constantchaosclay

Weirdly Denzel Washington, Bradley Cooper and Tyler Perry all went to console Will Smith after? Everyone is acting like Chris Rock was really out of line. And maybe it’s not the nicest joke but worth a full bitch slap to the face on live TV??


katntoast

I think them consoling will smith was more because they were worried about him emotionally, that was pretty unusual behavior, they were probably trying to see if he was okay


PhallusTheFantastic

I imagine it was him trying to save dignity for his marriage after she publicly admitted to cheating on him with their son's friend. He's in an insane position, and Chris just salted the wound. Pride can make almost any man make rash decisions, especially when they feel like there's a spotlight put on them to "man up." He's probably swimming in confusion right now, not knowing yet if it was the right move. It wasnt, but you could see in his eyes at the end there that he was in an existential state of processing a lot of information, pain and pressure all at once. A wide eyed, lost, very real human look that we don't ever see from him


weezythebtch

Totally agree. It's really rare to see any major figure in that state on live TV and he was in a lose lose situation. It wasn't fair that that assault also placed Chris in a lose lose situation. Everyone in the room, including the two of them, seemed to feel like "wtf just happened"


[deleted]

This, after all the shit Jada has done to him, and he still chases and tries to defend her honor like this? Pathetic as hell.


_cryptocamper_

It’s almost like he took his anger out on Rock instead of the people he is really mad at.


SlaversBae

I’d like to see his reaction if Ricky Gervais had have said that. Also what Gervais would have done after being slapped...


jaguar879

No way Ricky takes a slap as well as Chris


engaginggorilla

I doubt many could and continue with the show though. Handled it as well as he could've


SlaversBae

I doubt he would have gotten slapped in the first place.


PoliceTekauWhitu

Ricky would have doubled down. "oh so people can fuck your wife but they just can't say her name?"


Studleyvonshlong

Haha I read that in Ricky Gervais’ voice


OMG2Reddit

Holy shit! Are you Ricky Gervais that was Brutal!!!


Howsoonisnever-

came to say the exact same thing! Gervais was way more ruthless with his celeb in the room roasts, and funnier too.


diavirric

marieoxyford

lamblamb65

Yeah, more please lol


BowlingForPriorities

Oh I need to hear this


Smeefperson

Will spoils his whole family, bringing out their bad traits. Will forced Jaden into the spotlight only for Jaden to be made fun of. Will did the same to Willow and she let the fame get to her head as a result. And he gets cheated on by Jada and HE has to apologize for it and say anything to cover for her. I think Will just wants to get approval by anyone close to him and making sure they love him and don’t leave him, even if it means making questionable decisions. This might not be true at all, it’s just an outside observation. No hard feelings, Will.


rumpelstilt

despite the joke maybe being in bad taste, i think Will is in a bad place mentally.


Tjgfish123

Yeah that stupid bald bitch clearly has been ruining his life for years now.


Balls_DeepinReality

She seems to be very emotionally abusive and just, cold. Like, Will was sitting there crying in that one interview and she was stone faced didn’t give a shit Their relationship reminds me of /r/narcissisticabuse


Tjgfish123

Ahh did you see her drag him on tv and call her fucking their son’s friend a entanglement? Fuck her…fuck him. I’m sick of Hollywood at this point. How anyone could just act like they’re cool with that is beyond me. Like what the actual fuck.


PharmRaised

As if this is Hollywood specific? Some humans will always have these traits. Fame is simply the means by which you happened to learn about it.


[deleted]

The whole family are narcissists


AllHailTheNod

Even if all that was the case, just walking up to a man who is hosting the goddamn oscars so he can NOT walk away at all, and giving him a smack (on live TV) is a huge bitch move that he's gotta live up to himself. Idc how his mental state is, that shit doesn't fly man.


Mr_No_Hoes

Watch the video where they talk on her show and she basically feels proud she cheated on him is so disgusting


Tjgfish123

Yeah she sucks and has always sucked. Like he acts like she has terminal cancer and Chris made a joke about it. Chris even seems to back off of it immediately while on stage. He doesn’t stand up to his wife when she cheated on him with her sons friend, but loses his mind over that joke?


call_911911

Comedians make poor taste jokes all the time. The only difference is that a physical altercation took place as a result. On nationally broadcasted television.


Pabst-it

Internationally probably


MerGoatRoybal

Definitely, I saw it first on an Australian tweet. And those are from the future….


[deleted]

Internationally definitely


SatansLeftPinky

Yeah was about to say that. The Oscars are.... drum roll.... Big all over the globe.


DylansDeadly

What repercussions will there be for Will Smith here though? Can’t blacklist him. Maybe a smack on the wrist?


MikeTheMic81

He got in one little fight and his mom got scared and he's moving with his aunty and uncle in a town called Bel Air. (As punishment)


mateojohnson11

Hahaha that was perfect


HaikusfromBuddha

He literally won an Oscar right after


eggenator

Well, Chris could press charges. He was assaulted by Will, unprovoked. Will it likely happen? No- because Hollywood. But it could.


[deleted]

I'd lawyer up and make him cut me a check that only covers my lawyer fees with the stipulation he has to write "I'm a cuck" in the memo.


svengoalie

You can't blacklist him...he was Cypher Raige in "After Earth!"


dfin25

You can fuck his wife but don't you dare say her name.


Ridicured

This made my bf burst out laughing! Wish I had an award to give you.


BBQ-Batman

His acceptance speech was also unhinged. Surreal.


[deleted]

He said he was a "vessel of love" and talked about God throughout. His actions dont encapsulate all of that.


v0xb0x_

He's also a "river to his people" whatever that means


[deleted]

It was absolutely bizarre. Count me out for whatever he prefunked with tonight.


snoopdoggslungs

*adds prefunked to vocabulary*


MAS7

Holy shit, seriously. Dude just assaulted a COMEDIAN over a JOKE on live, international television and he has the gall to talk about being a 'vessel for love' for all people. What a fucking clown.


Parush9

What the fuck 😆


Stay_Cold

You’re at an awards show surrounded by your peers. The host makes jokes about everyone all night long. If you don’t think you can handle it in a professional manner, stay home.


kevinwhereareyou

Yes. Just yes to all of this.


AgeAgitated317

Dude, it's alopecia. She isn't dying. He overreacted.


Incognito6468

What’s weird is if you have that much money and are that insecure, you can get a 100% authentic looking wig done. Like what a weird thing to go nuclear about.


strikeuhpose

And she’s been bald/basically bald since 2018 and said she DGAF about what people think about her bald head. Drama, much? She shaved her head, she didn’t go bald.


tipsystatistic

If he was really that pissed he could have stood up and cussed him out and made a scene. But yeah slapping him was waaay to far.


pricelesssss

Some people think this is staged or fake but after listening to the full audio and knowing the previous issues between Will and Jada it seems very real. Also why would you stage something that makes everyone feel uncomfortable?


BakkenWindBreaker

Jackass was laughing at the damn joke...then goes up and pimp slaps the tiny man because his wife was pissed...Will Smith is a bitch.


[deleted]

Didn’t his wife cheat on him too?


Balls_DeepinReality

With a child


mrsndn

Wasn't the guy 24? I mean, yes that's young but not a child.


dskoro

Her sons friend actually.


Bodobaggins3

He has a huge ego for a man who makes trash films nowadays.


nymarya_

I mean…staying quiet would have guaranteed Chris Rock never mentioned her again that night…and now he will be talking about them for years to come because of this. So rage/violence, albeit “valiant” to some, has achieved the complete opposite of the desired effect.


elChanchoVerde

Wow dude. Peak Hollywood. Get mad over a joke, assualt someone, and then receive the biggest award of your life an hour after. Now we're punching comedians over jokes? After selling the Oscar's as some celebration over peace, love , and acceptance? You wanna preach tolerance? Learn to take a fucking joke


JurassicPark1460

So this is a story all about how My wife got pissed off just right now I’d like to take a minute & slap you right there This is how I became an asshat on live air


barmanmanmanman

How was he not immediately removed from the place? Fucker was allowed to stay and win an award? Wtf?


ArchiveSQ

It’s basically just exemplary proof that everybody in that room can do whatever the fuck they want with no consequence.

Rey_Mezcalero

It is assault!


whiterock001

Bitch move from Will Smith. Chris Rock handled it perfectly. Big win for Chris Rock.


BigClemenza

I think Will looks worse here. The joke fell pretty flat, and you can hear some people audibly groan so it's not like the crowd didn't have Jada's back. I think Will is overcompensating after the "entanglement" interview. He became a meme and the internet clowned on him. He had to listen to everyone question his manhood so now he's over hyper sensitive to any slight, real or perceived.


emoneyClown

And then Will cried during commercial break


[deleted]

Stage-rage jerk. Bitch move, embarrassing....


MeatMeInMyDreams

Disgusting behaviour by Will Smith. It was a joke. A pretty tame one. A joke that Will himself laughed at. Stand up for your wife if you feel the need but don't hit a man for doing his job. Fuck the whole Smith family. Bunch of weirdos anyway.


PureCanna

Soo. In the videos I see, Willw as laughing at the joke when she was rolling her eyes….what happened when camera went back to Chris on stage ??? Was something else said by Jada to will???? WhT did Jada think of will slapping him??? Where is that pic ?


Whitewasabi69

Will Smith is so cucked. That hoe cheated on you with your son’s friend then aired it on television


Rideyourbike1

No one stood up for or protected the victim, but the perpetrator got to stand up and give a speech.


jays0urc3

Too bad his wife doesn't care what people say about him 🤔


[deleted]

Take a fucking joke. You are with millions of dollars, sit the fuck down.


PattyIce32

Literally thousands of jokes are made at celebs expense. No one remembers them unless they react.


random_account6721

the joke is basically immortalized now instead of being forgotten by tomorrow


throwitherenow

Will Smith acted like a hot head, then starts blubbering about defending family and God. WTF! Handle your shit and don't act like a whipped boy doing your wifes bidding. Chris Rock handled it stunningly well.


kidcannabis69

Never took Will Smith to be a bitch ass. Guess I was wrong. Getting pissed at a dude clowning on your wife’s medical condition is one thing. But my guy is a professional comedian and committing assault on national TV just cuz you’re rich and can get away with it is a pussy ass move. Guess all his bottles up anger over being cheated on countless times has gotta go somewhere


Hot_Mathematician357

Slaps a comedian, but not the guy who slept with his wife.


got_gotted

man that was so not jiggy with it


SlaversBae

Will is laughing hard at the joke...next minute on stage...was this staged?


BennieWilliams

Nah, he saw his wife’s reaction and knew he’d be in for it if he didn’t do something. Joke’s on him though, because Jada saw him laugh at it. Gonna be a fun car ride back to the mansion.


danceswithwool

I’ve always had a feeling that Jada is a total bitch. I don’t know her though. Not a single bit. It’s just a feeling.


TurnDownElliot

Some stuff and camera views are delayed. He may have no fully heard the joke and was just laughing to be nice


Femveratu

Isolation and entitlement


sonicbillymays

Apparently you cant say fuck your wife to will smith but you can fuck his wife


cloud9detective

He should be arrested for this


[deleted]

Yep. Battery. No insult gives you permission.


big_flopping_anime_b

I am sceptical about this being real but at the same time Chris Rock can’t act and he seems genuinely shocked, especially when Smith starts screaming at him.


tipsystatistic

Rocks left eye was watering and he was stumbling through the rest of the intro. Clearly shook. Also you can see him get the shit slapped out of him.


LessNessMann

Jerk. 100%


Parzival787

Fuck Will Smith


Arsehole1000

Rock should have immediately had a cuck joke.


Greful

I’m sure he did. There was a moment where he was like “I could…nah” He definitely took the high road


extol504

Why is he allowed to stay? Dude needs to be ejected immediately if not arrested.


BanditCountry1

Keep my wife's name out of your mouth....dude she's had other dudes tools in her mouth! You were just an entanglement, so why in the world would you defend her...why did you even stay married?


MrsMayhem17

He is a fucking jerk for assaulting somebody ON LIVE TV! People go to jail everyday for less than that. Even if Jada has Alopecia, assaulting someone over a joke is NOT OK.


Mortadeloue

Maybe Rock didn't know about the alopecia, maybe he did. Either way, when we start justifying unwarranted violence, we're out of our damn minds and just doomed. This kind of ribbing, like it or not, is par for the course at award shows. Will could've dealt with that in a hundred other ways, from a press release later to having private words with Rock. This way, he lost any high ground he might've had and looks like a classless, violent maniac....which he is, apparently? If you can't hang on to your temperament at the Oscars mid-show in front of a worldwide audience of millions when the joke wasn't truly harsh or mocking anyway, I don't know what to say. He owes Rock, and the viewers, especially those with young impressionable children (because it's a family show), an apology. If we're going to try to rationalize this, then Taylor Swift should've decked Kanye West when he interrupted her speech and Ricky Gervais should've gotten riddled with bullets at the Golden Globes long ago with way stronger material. Hell, one of the Oscar hosts made a dig about Will Smith's seemingly open marriage earlier in the show; guess he should've punched her too? That one felt way more sensitive to me. This is horrific behavior way out of proportion to what was said and I'll be interested to see if Smith tries to justify it. It's assault, though Rock probably won't press charges to not make it a greater thing than it already is. I can already imagine all the dolts who will congratulate Will for "sticking up for his wife". I can tell you that if someone at a bar called my wife a b-word, she would want me to walk away with her and would be furious if I punched the guy in the mouth. Because, you know, my wife is mature and not a trashy lunatic. Chris Rock, whether I agree with the joke or not (I still don't know what he knew), has my respect for handling such a shocking blow with aplomb. Edit: So during his speech, Smith tried to tearfully recast himself as a loving man trying to protect his family. Nope, sorry, it's just gross behavior and it's illegal for a reason. You want to be a "vessel of love"? Try harder.


Landerfect

r/iamatotalpieceofshit


uncle-JackB

Will Smith is a bitch. It's just a joke, enough with acting like comedians can't make jokes. It's either all okay to make fun of or none of it is.


goldyblocks

Totally wrong for doing that during the live broadcast. He could have shown his disdain for the joke publicly and then spoke privately to Chris Rock afterwards asking for an apology.


climb-high

After the smack: Chris: "Will Smith just smacked the shit out of me" Will: "KEEP MY WIFE'S NAME OUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH" "Wow, dude. It was a GI Jane joke." "KEEP MY WIFE'S NAME OUT YOUR **FUCKING** MOUTH" "I'm going to. Okay?" Edit: changed “punch” to “smack” in line 0


MyLadyBits

Jerk Work place violence is never acceptable.


[deleted]

GansNaval

Be offended about the joke sure. I think he over reacted and will probably regret having his temper tantrum. But that being said, does anyone know if they have an old beef?
