During Ketanji Brown Jackson's Supreme Court confirmation hearing, her husband, Dr. Patrick Graves Jackson, gave her his full support and quietly comforted her. Like a good man should. They both demonstrated grace under pressure during this harrowing process.

Takei is amazing...

Or, that's how you've been conditioned to react when someone is making fun of you in a public setting, no matter if you agree with it or not... but when he saw his wife, his actual feeling came out

If you watch the start of the video, initial reaction of Smith was laughing, while his wife was clearly not. Ressorting to violence just after laughing, worse walking quietly to your target and then out of nowhere punching him, is not "the heat of the moment"

If anyone did that in any decent theatre they would be forcefully ejected on to the street. Unless it was staged. The audience numbers have been falling for some time. Surely, Hollywood would not be so cynical. Or would they?

Security should have been called to escort him out. They would have in a less privileged environment.

Boom.

Who thinks he deserved this? No one deserves to be slapped in the face.

I choose free speach, for comedians too. Or especially for them, as sometimes truth is only bearable in a form of a joke. Like when my mum had cancer, got bold, like really bold, not like Jada buzz cut haircut bold. She is pretty with it, she rocks (sorry) that haircut for 30 years now on -off, just like her daughter and her hubby. Not by the way she went public with her alopecia, and she said straight "I can only laugh about it". So why is your hubby slapping dudes half his size now, under the name to protect you. One messed up family, strange things going on between them and behind the scene

I think people shouldn't be applauded for making jokes about any minority group they don't belong to

1) It’s not like she’s bald from CANCER. “Medical condition”? Puhleeze. 2)GI Jane is a compliment. 3) The Smiths have enough money to buy a small country, thanks to the industry that they have no business thriving in.

Chris Rock got what he deserved, and Dave Chappell deserved worse. There you go

Come on, if Mike Tyson can take the jokes.....

Logic is difficult for people today as truth is relative/constantly changing and no longer black and white. Not to mention we have all lost our sense of humor and more specially our humility and tolerance. In the case of the Fresh Prince, those that think it was OK see it as an act of honor-- a defense of a mate in the old sense of husband standing up to defend woman against another man and to restore her dignity in what was obviously a sensitive subject that caused embarrassment publicly. There needs to be a price paid for acting out of course, and I'm sure the lawyers and law enforcement will sort that out. But this also emphasizes the clash between the culture of the past 1000 years verse the growing confusion of right and wrong in our every increasing neurosis as a society.

Being trans is and being sick is the same thing?

Disrespect a man or his wife and you will get what's coming to you.

The guy who makes a joke on somebody's illness is not a comedian but an insensitive jerk.

I think the whole culture of award show hosts is vile and toxic. They are paid to stand up there and roast unsuspecting celebrities…

"Tasteless joke" You can condemn Will Smith's actions without downplaying how inappropriate and cruel the joke was.

I mean, Harvey Weinstien (i honestly don't care how his name is spelt) used to sit and get thanked constantly while being an absolute scum of a human....so not so strange from Hollywood's elitist.

So true and so sad

This meme applies to much of Christian history tho

Don't make jokes about it or Will Smith might take offense and hit you

And Chris rock owes Jada an apology for making fun of her sickness. That's why Chris isn't filling any charges, he knows he f****d up

We shouldn't be with Rock either though

We need a discourse on what is appropriate in comedy jokes. Rock has been going after her and all the Smiths incessantly. Making fun of Shumer for stealing jokes is edgy comedy. Making fun of an auto-immune disease or any body/health issue may eventually require a slap upside the head. Especially when more appropriate requests to stop have fallen on deaf ears. Will shouldn’t have done it to us viewers and the Oscars, but probably should have given the weasel a wake up call earlier on his harassment campaign. And what happened to CR? He used to be funny on his early stand up days. Now he’s a commercial actor or product shucker & tells weak sauce jokes. He’s worse than the comedians booked to perform on Disney cruises.

I mean, this horrible event did show the world that Nicole Kidman’s face can move.

Lupita Nyong'o's reaction be like that.

🤣 yup, that's all I've seen this morning. These exact 2 pictures.

All I'm thinking is Jada that was double embarrassed that night

Loves Rock's reaction and still doing WWE's face!

I can see his entire life, career flashing before his eyes in this meme

I'm thinking nobody wants to be WS right now...

I know that the votes were already there but he shouldn't be awarded yesterday! They should give it to the second runner up! We shouldn't approve those behaviours and the production of the awards should have better reflexes in these situations

This should be at the top

This- nobody cares anymore. Rich actors congratulating other rich actors for being rich actors is not something a lot of people enjoy anymore.

You mean there were people standing???

Then make him move to bel Air

I think he handled it pretty freaking well. Besides not apologizing to Jada for being out of line...

You missed the part where he is laughing

JayZ be like...I got 99 problems but a slap from Will Smith aint one of them...

Celebrity drama. Yawn.

Lol

Batman would never do that to Robin.
