TW⚠️ Assault
What happened between Will Smith and Chris Rock at the Oscars was justified (Thread)
#AcademyAwards #WillSmith #willsmithchrisrock
1. Context

Before we get into it we need to understand 2 pieces of context. What Chris Said, and why it was an issue.

First of all, Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith's wife who's also an actor has been suffering from alopecia for a decent amount of time already.

Next...
2.
And for someone who's an actor, who's been in the spotlight for her entire career, she's been very open about the fact that she has alopecia.

And the struggles, both physical and emotional, that she's endured because of it.

Which I'd say is pretty brave.

Next...
3.

Chris Rock made a reference to G.I Jane, which is a movie about a woman needing to shave her head entirely bald as a requirement to join the army
4.

There would have been no way that Chris Rock wouldn't have known about that.

They are in the same work circle some would say, not to mention the fact that they've worked together at one point.

So definitely well knowing about Jada's issue, that was a severely low blow
Next.
5. Chris made a remark about Will Smith's wife, publicly ridiculing her, live on television in front of millions about something Will knows she has been physically and emotionally struggling with for a long time.

Next...
6.

Will defended his wife how he should have.

Of course taking into account the rage which would have contributed to Will smacking Chris across the face, which is justified.Who wouldn't feel completely enraged seeing someone you love be completely slandered in front of you.
7.
Will being a husband, who's job is to protect his family,

Did exactly what he was supposed to do.

Although sure it was against the law to physically assault another person, Chris instigated it entirely.
@chrisrock , you're a really funny dude.

But you should never be allowed to host the Oscars again.

As far as feuds go, that was incredibly low.
9. How are we going to sit by and ask Will to apologize for defending his wife?

He did as he should.

@chrisrock should be the one to issue a formal apology to Will and MOST IMPORTANTLY Jada herself.
