“Vaya, amigo”, dijo Rock. “Era una broma de ‘G.I. Jane’”. "¡Saca el nombre de mi mujer de tu puta boca!” le gritó Smith a Rock después de volver al público. La estrella de “King Richard” se abalanzó inesperadamente sobre el escenario y golpeó a Rock después de que el cómico hiciera una broma sobre la esposa de Smith y la película de 1997 “G.I. Jane” - aparentemente haciendo una conexión con el peinado de Pinkett Smith. Pinkett Smith, que ha hablado abiertamente de su lucha contra la pérdida de cabello debido a una enfermedad llamada alopecia, no se rio del comentario de Rock.

La broma de Chris Rock sobre la cabeza calva de Jada Pinkett Smith desató la ira de su marido, Will Smith. No es la primera vez que Rock se burla de la ...

Ahora todos tenemos que preocuparnos por quién querrá ser el próximo Will Smith en los clubes y teatros de comedia". Tienes razón (...) ¡Tampoco es justo que a Will le pagaran US$20 millones por Wild Wild West!", dijo el cómico en aquel momento, en referencia a la comedia que el actor hizo en los años 90 y que fue mal recibida por la crítica. No hay lugar para la violencia en un mundo de amor y bondad". Con el incidente, se ha reabierto la pregunta de hasta dónde llegan los límites del humor. No es justo que Will fuera tan bueno y no fuera nominado. Las bromas a mi costa son parte del trabajo, pero una broma sobre la condición médica de Jada fue demasiado para mí y reaccioné emocionalmente", continuó. "La violencia no está bien. Por no hacerle frente a mi padre, por ser un cobarde", escribió. La actriz Tiffany Haddish le dijo a la revista People: "Cuando vi a un hombre negro defender a su esposa. Las bromas son lo que hace Chris Rock (...) Esta fue una broma suave para él. Y amo a GI Jane". "Will Smith le debe una gran disculpa a Chris Rock. No hay excusa por lo que hizo. Perdió la cabeza".

Chris Rock declined to file a police report after Will Smith slapped him at the Oscars over a Jada Pinkett Smith joke. Here's everything else we know.

"The Academy is very conservative and I think not doing anything last night was a conservative approach," she says. Nevertheless, what happened was "a crime, a misdemeanor, and it could absolutely be charged if the city attorney wanted to pursue it, but I have a hunch they won’t without Chris Rock's cooperation." "I want to apologize to the Academy, I want to apologize to my fellow nominees. The "joke" he told might have been mean but it wasn't a crime. Not as far as Rachel Fisetknows. She's a former lawyer for the Academy (now a criminal defense lawyer in Los Angeles) who used to be among the team of lawyers who, with city lawyers, would work the Oscars before the show, making sure people without tickets didn't sneak in, and having them removed if they did. Smith apologized directly to Rock on Instagram Monday for his "unacceptable" and "inexcusable" behavior. “As the union representing presenters and other performers working on the Oscars, SAG-AFTRA is focused on ensuring our members always work in a safe environment," the statement said. If Smith's target had been, say, a police officer rather than a fellow entertainer, a prosecutor could make the case that this was a more "aggressive" offense, Solomon says. After the incident, Smith accepted the award for best actor for his performance as Venus and Serena Williams’ father in “King Richard,” saying: “I know to do what we do, you’ve got to be able to take abuse; you’ve got to be able to have people talk crazy about you. "Generally both are punishable by a fine of $2,000 and up to six months in county jail." We have officially started a formal review around the incident and will explore further action and consequences in accordance with our Bylaws, Standards of Conduct and California law." If the involved party desires a police report at a later date, LAPD will be available to complete an investigative report.”

The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences says it condemns the actions of Will Smith during Sunday night's Oscars and it will launch a formal review ...

Wins for Ariana DeBose of “West Side Story,” Troy Kotsur of “CODA” and Jane Campion, director of “The Power of the Dog,” all had made history. “In a way, I feel bad for Will Smith, too, because I think he let his emotions get the better of him, and this should have been one of the great nights of his life,” said former Oscar host Jimmy Kimmel on Bill Simmons’ podcast. The drama overshadowed some historical wins at an Oscars. The deaf family drama “CODA” became the first film with a largely deaf cast to win best picture. After the show, Smith posed for photographs with his family outside the Vanity Fair party. Not only was it a hard-to-fathom break with decorum on live national television — an incident so dramatic, even movie-like, that many initially assumed it was a staged bit — it seemed wildly out of character for one of Hollywood’s most relentlessly upbeat stars. Smith was honored Sunday for his role as Richard Williams, father of Venus and Serena, in “King Richard.” He hosted the 2016 Oscars, when some were boycotting the ceremony over the #OscarsSoWhite group of nominees, including the Smiths. Said Rock then: “Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. Until that moment, producer Will Packer had steered an orderly and lighthearted telecast that the academy hoped would restore the Academy Awards following last year's record-low ratings. Smith strode on stage and slapped Rock across the face. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences condemned Smith striking Rock, who had made a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, and said it would launch an inquiry.

"Hopefully it becomes a teachable moment where Will Smith can speak to people in an honest way about why that was not the way to go," Apatow said. "In this business, you've got to be able to have people disrespecting you and you've got to smile and pretend like that's okay." And to be a river to my people." "I'm being called on in my life to love people and to protect people. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be," Smith wrote. "I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong.
