The jury is still out on whether Will Smith’s slap of Chris Rock at the Oscars was staged, but there’s plenty of reason it could be. The Oscars have had less than no buzz of late, and almost no one watches or cares.
It’s a party for spoiled and disconnected elites pandering to the creative will of people whose output is of little interest. And that hasn’t changed, but Will Smith smacking Chris Rock has gotten a lot of attention but pales with context.
While presenting Best Documentary, Rock joked about Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz before turning to Jada and saying, “‘G.I. Jane 2,’ can’t wait to see it.” The comment caused 50-year-old Pinkett Smith — who suffers from alopecia and has shaved her head — to roll her eyes.
Smith, 53, marched on stage and slapped a clearly shocked Rock. The audio in the United States was censored but clips from other countries confirmed that an irate Smith bellowed, “Keep my wife’s name out of your f–king mouth.”
Smith and his wife are in an open marriage. He can have sex with other women. She can have sex with other men. The left sells this as the evolution of marriage. But take a breath. Will is not concerned about what of Jada’s is in someone else’s mouth or vice-versa – if the arrangement is to be believed, but her name and a joke raises this degree of ire?
I’m not buying it.
Chris Rock is not pressing charges, making it even less likely this wasn’t more than theater. Staged. Will apologized. Chris Rock’s on tour, and ticket sales for Chris (he’s in Boston this week) are soaring. And yes, Jada has a condition that causes her to be basically bald, but she seems to be wearing it very well.
And people are talking about the Oscars.
It reeks of Smollett’s assault without the MAGA people.
As for Jussie Mollett, maybe he’s working out how to sell the idea that Will and Chris Rock poured gasoline on him and put a noose around his neck on the way home from “the Oscars” with a Subway sandwich at 2 am in freezing cold weather.
That’s more likely than him sleeping with Will’s wife. And then there’s the real issue. What are the Bidenistas and Congress sneaking through while people pay attention to the Oscars for five minutes?
Figuring out how to blame Putin for the tens of trillions in debt-ridden inflation they’ve perpetuated?
Male that 7 minutes, here are a few more memes.
