@JustJulie485 Thank you for proving Sunny Hostin correct. If you go to an event where you know people are going to get roasted, don't get mad when someone makes a mild joke about you.

Darn right! This whole thing reaked of someone feeling emasculated because of his wife airing their dirty laundry and lashing out to try to look manly.

@deadLEE15 Chris Rock was far more scathing toward The Spice Girls when he hosted the MTV Video Music Awards, and you never saw David Beckham slap him.

@ReadyFreddie5523 Saying unkind words would have been saying that he needs to be more worried about whose mouths his wife is on instead of a mild joke from a show where everyone there knows that they are fair game for a roast.

@JustJulie485 How many times did he make bald jokes at the expense of others? I was just thinking of Uncle Phil jokes, but someone found an Arsenio clip of him mocking a member of the band who was bald.

@deadLEE15 She makes movies, and so do his kids. Maybe your real complaint should be about nepotism in Hollywood.

Even if he knew she had it, it's just another word for baldness. Either own it or wear a wig.

@lauraprosser5084 Maybe they should stop airing their dirty laundry.

@onepartyroule The people who run these events hire the people they do for a reason. Just like you don't hire Lynyrd Skynyrd if you don't want to hear "Free Bird," you don't hire comedians if you don't want a roast. The Academy goes over this stuff with a fine tooth comb and knows exactly what is coming. Chris Rock has hosted multiple awards shows and presented at several others. Compared to the jokes Ricky Gervais does at these things, this was incredibly tame.

@onepartyroule Yeah, so you didn't see what was clearly reading off a teleprompter? Of course, they have to backtrack after allowing an assault to take place during their event. Re: the worse thing to do, last I checked, assault and battery was a crime. Telling jokes about hair loss isn't. Even if he knew that she had alopecia, this was not an appropriate response. How many bald jokes has Will Smith made over the years, but as a character and as himself? Not an episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air went by without a bald and/or weight joke about Uncle Phil, and most included short jokes about Carlton. Well, James Avery really was bald and stocky, and Alfonso Ribiero really is short, so those are about the person, not the character.

@onepartyroule If you don't want to get burned, don't go to a roast.

@onepartyroule What was preapproved? Look up the definition of assault and battery in California, and tell me why you think it doesn't fit. Legal Eagle did a video where he actually showed the definition.

@onepartyroule "At no point have I suggested that the SNAP was assault according to the law." Also you: "No one made the claim that it was a 'crime.'" Unless the "it" was a little clunky, it seemed like you were talking about the slap. If you were referring to the joke, the point is that the law clearly thinks that one is worse than the other.

@onepartyroule Then, in the eyes of the law, the thing that Will Smith did is worse than the thing that Chris Rock did.

@studio732jrl2 Let me break it down for you, white knight wannabe. Jada Pinkett Smith is a celebrity. At awards shows, jokes are told about celebrities. If you want to make your personal business known to the whole world, you invite this sort of thing. If you think that violence is an acceptable response to words, then you are a toxic individual.
