Will And Jada; What’s Your Take On This?

I've seen this one in facebook and I just can't believed at first because I'm a fan of Smith.. But later on I found out. His woman maybe offended and the reason why he executed such act but ..why does it have to be in that moment..he could've settle it after...man to man talk... Thry just created a bad image to the public and ..I still admired them because they get to ask forgiveness from each other..

Just two words.... "Show-biz"

Well, I don't really know what I would do, I might walk up to him and give him a warning but I don't think I will slap him, that's too rude

I don’t know I am not sure what I would do in wills place because true Chris went overboard with that joke and who knows what else he would have said if will didn’t smack the nonsense out of him but then again a black man slapping another black man on a big stage like that is not so ideal. That is my take on the matter sha

On one hand, I applaud Will for standing up for his wife and on the other, he should have kept his hands inside his pockets and not let the devil take over his head... I find both are at wrong, I mean, comedians tend to make offensive jokes and sadly those are the ones that get more views as people love dark comedy more.. but talking about other's health condition will and should never be a joke.. period...

On the same view, there is no reason for Will to show such supremacy on the stage and embarrass Cris to make this more awkward for everyone.. one can stand up to their loved ones without raising their hands. The whole thing is just a huge mess and both parties are at the wrong.. because of these two, people who got to win the award couldn't celebrate properly at all

There is a thin line between cracking a joke and making Jest of someone, Chris crossed that line and i'm sure he feels remorseful after the event. The joke was too deep. You don't joke with things like that. Will slapping him was it right? It isn't something honourable, though he did it to defend his wife or pass a statement. It's wrong. But the question we should ask ourselves is", if i were in his shoe will i do the same?" This question has no answer so it doesn't confirm if what he did was right or wrong. Why i say this is, if someone do the same to someone i love, there is probability that i will do the same. Since we are not the one in that situation, it's easy to say it's wrong, but to say the truth, i can't assure anyone that i won't react that way too, and i don't thin k anyone can say otherwise.

Is there a better way he could have done things? YES, maybe after a break, walk up to chris and speak to him gently and ask him to apologise. But in that situation at that time , with the pain you see on your wife's face, i doubt if one will be rational.

Moving forward, i believe Chris owe Jade an apology . If he do this, it will only be right if Will do the same, by apologising for hitting will but no regret.

He was trying to protect his partner but at the same time what if the guy has a harmful object on him like a knife, gun or whatever it would have been something else

Maybe Will should have sat back to reason before he allowed his emotions work it's place. I hope this doesn't have an adverse effect. I really can't put out my words in support or opposition. One part of me feels he was wrong to do that. But the other part of me feels he was right. I honestly don't know what I'd have done if I walked in his shoes.

It's not over reacting it's about defending

I admire the way you see the whole scenario with an intelligence and different perspective. But, @King_Gozie I think you should rectify something in the last paragraph "I love in a country" It's I live in a country*

I can actually understand the side of will, as what my partner said, Chris joke can be called bullying. Will's wife reaction about the joke hurt him and seeing he's wife being bullied make him do the action just to protect he's wife. It might looks unprofessional but you can't blame will, he's wife is he's life and so he protect her against bullying.

Some are saying that Will overreacted. But I support him.

What he did was not reasonable at all. Ok, what did you think will happen if Chris collapsed or decided to retaliate by doing the same thing to him back...... it might lead to something else. We should be very careful when angry to avoid paying for what we did not buy.

I don't know what should I react but for me in my on opinion. If I will hear a bad joke about my relatives or love ones I will do that too. Co it's below the belt, but if this is a scripted part hmm well human may know what punch line or best way to say it. If it's not below the belt oh common we don't need to do that in front of other or in live show. But still human might know what the right and wrong jokes will be out on the mouth.

Will maybe just protecting her wife,he might think that it's some kind of bullying to a bald woman,in which he has done in a inapproprieate way.But I think,there's no big deal with it right now,because there's no case filed and Will Smith has already given his public apology.In the end they're friends,I just hope that they forgive each other.

I am so excited to welcome April into my life but I am hoping to enjoy my assignment still by that time. I was not able to watch that hit show on TV that includes Chris, my apologies if I can't relate.

Oh my gosh! If I were will's wife, I will be proud of my husband. But alas, my take on this is that Will over reacted. He was wrong Acting that way..my opinion I said

I am not in support off will but sometimes, comedians should control their basket mouth

I was really shocked at the way will had reacted. I mean it was a harmless joke. Even will even laughed at it initially, so I wonder y he later hit Chris. BTW, apart from being an actor , will is also a comedian, so it was really unexpected of him to have reacted that way, since he was also into the business of poking fun at people. Thank God Chris handled the awkward situation with maturity and didn't press charges....God forbid if Chris hadn't been healthy, and had slumped as a result from the blow, the other man would have ended up in jail and Jada would continue to enjoy her life.

I would feel bad if I were will Smith too. And there is nothing anger can't cause. Making a joke our of someone's illness is bad though.

But I think he could have controlled his anger and probably wait till after the event. I also love Chris' reaction, he didn't react on stage and turn it into a street fight.

Also what bothers me was that he also laughed when Chris rock made the joke, not until he saw the reaction of his wife to the joke.

Will simply f'ed up. I understand though, could be something that, has to do with personal issues.

I agree with you. We need to be emotionally intelligent

Very much agree with you on this. But truth is that emotions are fickle and we may never know how we'll react in situations until it happens. Still, Will could have done better
