Somebody WILL Slap you!

Heya, everybody! Kinda hot today. I have no energy to write my article early because the hot is making me lazy to do anything. Now, it is a bit cooler. I have my iced tea and my fan on my side to keep me cool.

Thank you, sponsors!

So, my article for today is about the trending topic on the internet. It is about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock. Actually, I will never know that yesterday was the Oscars when the incident never happened. I know Will Smith as an A-lister celebrity. He is the genie in the live-action movie. On the other hand, it is my first time hearing of Chris Rock. Maybe I have seen him in movies but cannot remember.

I was just scrolling through TikTok and saw the video. Many people gave their reactions and comments on what happened.

This is my reaction and comment.

Nobody should joke about illnesses or diseases.

There are limitations when it comes to jokes. They say that jokes are half meant. Examples of hurtful jokes are about death, illness, mental health, etc. It is very evident in the world that we are living in now since the exchange of messages is very accessible and very fast. Some people are using technology to joke about sensitive topics. Chris Rock should know his limit when it comes to joking. It is also a prestige event where important people in the industry are watching and listening. He should have known better. It is really below the belt.

Control your emotions.

In the video, Will Smith went to the stage and slapped Chris Rock straight to the face. He was so angry and emotional after the joke. I cannot blame him for being angry and physical. The joke is about his wife's illness alopecia. The joke is very distasteful. For me, even though it is a very bad joke, Will Smith should have controlled his emotions. This is a live show and people and even children are watching. There is a proper time and place for our feelings to be said. There is a proper way of saying how we feel about things.

Respect the venue and organizers.

The Oscars is a very respectful and prestige occasion for beautiful and tremendous films. It is a celebration of creativity. I always think of the Oscars as one of the respected award-giving events. Everyone is dressed and groomed beautifully. Nothing beats Oscars. The incident of slapping is a mess. It is a cringe and awkward moment on television, to add that, it is televised live. People are invited and at least be on their best behavior. What happened is out of respect to the venue and organizers. Chris Rock and Will Smith should remind themselves that they are not in the parking lot, lol.

Do not resort to physical harm.

We do not live in 1500 anymore. We do not resort to fighting or war when we do not agree with someone. We are not living in rocks. We should know how to communicate better. We should act and speak like human beings. Yes, there will be endless arguments, debates, etc. in the world because there will be always disagreements. Will Smith should not resort to physical harm. He is hurt that Chris Rock joked about his wife's illness, but he could just sue him. He then apologizes to Chris Rock through Instagram. It is nice that he acknowledge his wrongdoings.
