He did not apologize to Chris Rock. He apologized on social media ... big difference. It's not a real apology.
Well said. Jada was NOT in danger and Chris Rock is a PAID professional comedian. Finally, it's said just how it should be- Thank you Chuck!!!! NO one should be supporting Will and it's sick that people (celebrities included) are. Violence over a verbal joke? Sad. Chris Rock handled this way better than 90% of people would. Most respect to Chris. Alopecia is NOT a life threatening condition to top it all off.
I agree. The audience enabled him with that shameless standing ovation. People feeling "sorry" for Jada did not even understand what alopecia is. It is not a life-threatening condition. Princess Caroline of Monaco experienced it several years ago. Her hair has since grown back. For a person who opened intimate details of her personal life to the world and said she didn't care, is suddenly offended by a harmless joke??? Give me a break! Will has an anger management issue because he has hit someone before during a press event in Europe a few years ago. If the Academy truly believes in the code of conduct rules in their organization, then they should have enforced the rules and had security usher him out of the building. What if Chris Rock fell and sustained a concussion??? Would they have done something then? Where was security? I have no respect for Will Smith.
Jada made a video on social media, & didn’t care what anyone thought about he bald head, & one video she was laughing.
So to make this a issue at the Oscar’s , she knows Will was going to sucker punched . Will had a lot of problems on his plate & Chris Rock took that punch for everyone & everything in will’s life .
I will never pay for anything Will F*** Smith
It is also thought her balding has to do with her wearing wigs and the glue has caused this.
Her condition is not due to cancer or sickness. It's due to years of color chemicals and scratchy weaves.
Will Smith reinforced the negative stereotypes of the reckless, angry Blackman. Rock did the polar opposite. A striking dichotomy in plainview.
It’s disgusting because Will Smith was laughing at the joke and then decided to go and assault Chris Rock. If he found the joke about his wife so offensive, then why was he laughing. It’s disgraceful!!!
When Will saw that Jada wasn't laughing, that's what got the Wild Wild Westman out of his seat. It embarrassed,so many people including me. Just think how people of color have had too fight, for a place at a awards ceremony. Not to mention being award for any part they may have played.
It seems like just a couple of years ago, that psycho Jada
was complaining that there weren't enough blacks at the Oscars.
Sandra Johnson you might be right, other option : he first laughed, then understood the joke. Lets not forget they are all being filmed and know it, they laugh at shit without even listening sometimes...
@@sandrajohnson5397 That's you advacting violence, then using the crybaby victimization race card to get your way. Will "Dumbo ears" should have been arrested for his psychotic meltdown, & then sued along with the hypocritical, "hate whitey" Oscar's.
@@anouarkrassimovich7481 yea but he was sitting in the front row and was looking right at Chris Rock, how could he not have been paying attention? Lol
Will apologized but in that apology he excused it saying it was because a “ protector” out of “love” he even referred to doing it for God. That’s not an apology
You're right. It's pure narcissistic delusion.
He also didn't apologize to Chris himself. He apologized to the academy and his fellow actors.
....and also doing it because of Richard Williams.
Yeah, to me, that wasn’t an apology, far from it. He tried to give a justification for his shameful act.
Will didn't apologize for shit. His PR team put out that statement to limit damage control over the incident. That's not from Will.
His apology was pure bull. He called his actions 'inexcusable' then immediatly followed it up with an excuse for his actions. Pure bull.
I didn’t even know about her hair. I just thought she shaved it like Willow. The entire thing was silly but Chris Rock handled it well. Jada is a nightmare of a woman. She has treated Will like CRAP. He has become a p whipped fool.
@@realhousewifeoftransylvania1.0 Agreed, if she had Alopecia she would be completely bald, instead it looks like she shaved her head and, just check Alopecia videos on youtube it's sad, REALLY sad I'm NOT so sure the Will Smith spectacle was waranted
Shes shaved her head multiple times over the past 30 yrs... its alopecia not a terminal illness ffs... she could wear wigs and stfu
@@realhousewifeoftransylvania1.0 or she got a bad weave that pulled her hair out
@Nom De Plume Exactly! I know any type of hair loss is traumatic, but they sound like they are exaggerating it to excuse it sometimes.
@@debbieangel9376 I am offended for the REAL Alopecia people with auto immune disease!! She pulled her own dang hair out!!
When Chris looked side to side after the slap, he must have thought he was in an alternate world, an alternate reality when nobody came to his aid.
Will Smith would have NEVER in a million years slapped Denzel Washington, Bradley Cooper, Brad Pitt, etc.. Bullies always pick on someone they think is below them or weaker than them.
No ..but they also showed their true colours by supporting Smith..all of them bully boys
True, if Dwayne The Rock Johnson made that joke Will would just be like; hey man, not cool.
Exactly
keep in mind that the 'trigger' here was Chris' joke.
Chris Rock needs to sue the Oscars organisation.
Also, this guys is awesome!
This guy nailed it in every aspect. Said it better than anyone else I’ve heard.
Yes, I agree. 👍
I never watch the "awards" and I can't believe what will smith did. I used to like him. USED TO. He should have been arrested. They're all horrible for staying and applauding!
CANCEL that whole family of WACKOs!!!
imagine how you would feel if a degenerate and dangerous man like DJT gets to run in 2024. WS and his momentary loss of control would be like a walk in the park compared to that. But then again, most Americans seem not to bothered with such a thus and misfit going free .... not even an apology, yet for all intents and purposes see WS and his loss of control as perhaps America's crime of the century. Great capacity for hypocrisy, the US and its hysteria over this.
The reason Will wasn't arrested is that Chris chose not to press charges against him.
How about instead of keep my wife's name out your mouth how about keep your hands to yourself
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I wish Chris would have said that. But Will most likely would have come back. I’m shocked security didn’t make him leave. Chris handled it well.
"don't hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself"
Smith had to prove his LOYALTY to his wife by assaulting someone who DARED to poke fun at her, which is SAD the more you think about it.
I was arguing with someone yesterday on CZcams because they defended wills actions..basically advocating violence. But any normal person would see that Will could have said as he made his speech that his wife has a condition so didn't appreciate the joke but to get up and march on stage to assault someone Infront the whole world..was not the way. He then cried out of humiliation and guilt. He made a fool of himself Infront of the world.
actually Will deliberately did this to HUMILIATE Chris. Not the other way around. He always disliked Chris and this was just an excuse to vent his hatred. And frankly if Chris had gotten angry it would not have been as humiliating for him. By smiling even after the slap, it makes him look like a fool. And yesterday was April fools day btw
think about it...are you more likely to tune into the oscars next year? I know I am...
You are correct!
Not only that but he claims he acted in such a way to defend the honor of his wife, when in reality he was defending his fragile ego.
He claims defense of his wife yet he did not even mention her in the acceptance speech. 🤦🏽♂️
No need to argue with strangers on CZcams.
lets hope Jaden slaps somebody next year . at the end of the day, this was great entertainment whether WIll had punched,kicked, spat on or even defecated on Chris as long as they entertain me ITS ALL GOOD. That's HOllywood's job is to entertain people. both Chris and WIll are great performers lets hope people can learn to forgive WIll instead of all this hate
Great interview. I was horrified that Will Smith physically assaulted Chris Rock and also that it was in front of millions of people. My opinions that he did it because he thought he was entitled to. Even after he did it, he continued to verbally abuse Chris.
I am a big fan of both these men, but won’t be able to look at Will now without seeing him as a bully who hit an older and smaller man, and didn’t have the respect to apologize to him at the podium.
Chris has my respect for being the “bigger” man here.
Very well said. Before this night I thought smith was a good man. Now I know he’s a pitiful bully. Chris Rock showed exactly what a real man should be.
@@blindkimberly1360 obviously you have not kept up with Chris's character over the years. He is no Angel! I hope both grow from this and not listen to the Media!
@@dianemccray718 I’m sure he’s not an angel but Chris Rock never slapped anyone at a live event lol
what really got me was that smug look after will slapped chris; he was really proud of himself
GI jane is a compliment. Shes a badass, ass kicking independent woman... theres nothing offensive in comedy, its the point.
Exactly. Solid movie, ahead of its time.
I agree Demi Moore rocked that movie.
@@lisanewton3154 exactly. Jada could never.
I agreed with you, GI jane is a strong character so no ofence on that, She still a beautiful woman with little or no hair, let's say the joke was a mild bad joke, It could be handle in a different way, Will disappoint me, and Chris earn my respect for his composure. This tarnish the whole event.
that was not the reason Will slapped Chris. He simply wanted to humiliate him on live tv. He once stated he did not like Chris' grinning face....
I actually gained huge respect for Chris Rock
Yup. I can see it. Most parents now in the aftermath of this will be so happy to encourage their children into a profession of stand up comic' where you get paid to insult or ridicule others for a living.' And not to forget as many are claiming and holding to high esteem stand up as the last frontier of free speech' and implicit in that 'free speech' is the blurred line between what is 'funny' and what is an 'insult'. That Rock himself said, that there is a list which the academy provides, as a guideline as to what cannot be used as jokes is itself a joke - where then is this holy grail of 'free speech' if there is a 'list' of no-no's? Making fun of someone's illness is not funny. Physically assaulting and cussing is not acceptable. This fracas happened because of a mistimed, inappropriate, personal dig at someone. However much we want to overplay the assault and underplay the diss is a testament to our own hypocritical thinking and biases.
you're not along everyone has OK he might take action. Later! Who knows
A d I lost all respect for Chris Rock. Creep.
If the Academy does nothing then they should at least thank will for single handedly killing the Oscar's
🙄
Agree
I didn’t see any footage of anyone going to Chris Rock to see how he’s doing or supporting him. Denzel and others went to Will and he’s the aggressor. I feel bad for Chris Rock and I hope he sues the Academy and Will.
I think Denzel, Tyler and Bradley were trying to reason with Will and remind him how his actions could change his image by his actions in one minute. Unfortunately the damage was already done. I can understand what they were trying to do but it was too late. I am thinking that they may not have approached Chris Rock because he was managing himself better than Will was. Will always had a big ego and a big mouth. I was hoping that Denzel or Benedict would win the Oscar.
He started the shit
I think in most conflicts, you go the aggressor first to calm them down so things don't escalate, then approach the victim. But I was so upset and disappointed when they allowed him to stay and receive an award
Agree that he should sue them
I'm sure denzel was acting spontaneously to stop will smith from causing harm, we all witness or seem on news where people injured and kill innocent people. denzel didn't think just reacted, in a volatile situation.
This is exactly what I said. Teaching our children it’s ok to use physical violence against words is never ok. Never. I’d like to point out the publicized apology from the bully was written by one of his publicists. No way he would ever be able to give that kind of detailed apology. Chris Rock handled everything like a real man. I appreciate him so much.
Why does everyone assume Chris Rock knew about Jada’s alopecia? His reps released a statement that he didn’t know. I believe him because not everyone follows Jada on social media and not everyone keeps up with the Smiths 🙄🙄
This comedian being interviewed is both hilarious and insightful. Easily my favorite commentary on this whole situation. Even the host couldn't contain her laughter.
Chris owes Will nothing. Not a meeting, not an acceptance of an apology. Chris did what he needed to do for the rest of the night and is hold his head up and show he is the better man.
The joke wasn't about alopecia! It's a compliment!
i get that you are standing up for chris, but to say it like his intention was a compliment is too biased. you know it was meant as a joke when he was saying it in the middle of a comedy routine, and also said, "sorry jada." why would chris randomly compliment her during a routine on stage?
I understand that he may have lost control, but the part that I am very disappointed with Will Smith is that he didn't apologize to Chris Rock. If he had apologized, it would have been a huge difference. He can apologize later, but it's not the same. He should've apologized in front of millions of viewers, the same way he slapped Chris in front of millions of viewers. This is just my opinion and point of view.
@@HomeEduSchool I agree! Nothing he did would of satisfied people. They are just too judgemental and critical when they themselves make mistakes all the time!
Agreed
@@dianemccray718 like this comment
This was so appropriately said! My heart goes out to Chris Rock and his family…I mean, this is a man who has children…children who had to witness their father being assaulted on national television by another man with zero repercussions. It’s sickening.
I loved Will Smith but my opinion of him has changed.
My opinion of him went out the window when I found out the way his wife carries on and when I heard that she slept with there sons friend. He should have taken his dignity and self-respect and the door That is not acceptable in any marriage open or not yuck
I love Chuck Nice. Such a smart and funny guy. Everything you're saying is so true.
Chuck, You are such a decent man, and I am glad that you called Will Smith out, as he should .>>>Will Smith has done irreversible damage to the OSCARS, Black people, stand-up comedy, as to society.>>It's a disgrace that so many people finds excuses and/or try to justify Will's actions in any way.
Dude is spot on about how the apology should go down ….. that’s the only way Will will survive this.
It was a joke... if you cant take a joke, stay home... ffs... if will was a normal peasant like the rest of us he would be in jail for assault. If a seat filler had run up there and hit him theyd been tackled and escorted out....
If it had been Kanye, he'd have been committed!
I was living in LA a little over 10 years ago, and a friend of mine met Chris Rock at Jamba Juice. He said that he was a nice guy.
Great interview,the fact that Will Smith did not apologize to Chris while accepting his award showed just how empty his words were.. Something tells me it wont end well for Will Smith..
Chris didn’t mention in his joke anything about alopecia, loosing hair, bolded, not whatsoever!! He just suggested that she could be in G I #2 which I consider certainly very flattering not degrading, because Demi Moore is the most beautiful woman in the world, smart, and bold!! I love Will, but I don’t aprove his lowless behavior at the Oscar’s..
I dont think Chris was suggesting that Jada looked like Demi Moore, with that remark. If he was, he likely would have suggested "Hey, how about you starring in a remake of 'ghost'?
@@wylier
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It takes a lifetime to build a reputation and a second to destroy it.
No doubt that Will felt a tremendous amount of hubris for him to walk on that stage and assault Chris, for words....Jada wasn't crying, she wasn't hurt, she was annoyed. Will's action is because of celebrity privilege, wealthy-people privilege.
Jada has been confident in rocking short hair for years, not everyone knew she had alopecia. Roasting celebrities at award shows has been a Hollywood tradition for years, decades. If you don't like the roast boycott the Oscars, like she did in 2016.
The whole Smith family needs serious help. I am still in SHOCK he danced and hammer it up clutching his award. I would of gone to bed on my knees.
"ASSAULT IS NEVER OKAY " The Oscar's should address this act in a meaningful way paving the understanding forward that this is NOT ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR for anyone!
Btw: Jada is beautiful with/without hair!
She may be beautiful but she has a toxic personality.
In Will Smiths' defense, living with a psycho like Jada Pinkett
would probably make any man phukn crazy.
And not in a good way.
WRZ 2022-04-01
The Academy has the obligation to protect the safety of everyone in that room, not just Chris Rock. When someone assaulted someone that person needs to be escorted out the room. There are no excuses. Can you imagine if Will Smith picked up a chair and threw it across the room and injured someone else who sat nearby? You can't take chances when someone is that angry because their behaviors are too unpredictable.
@@yendang5403
Good point that I never thought about before.
On deaf ears - Will's compatriots applauded him minutes after.
It was a funny joke...an innocent joke, Chris even said before saying the joke " Love you Jada "....but nope...with her smug attitude, Will's wife, instigated the whole thing and ruined her husband best night...and also the best night of so many other people present .
Shame on her.
Thank you! So glad someone else sees her, their twisted dynamics.
Exactly
Did you hear Rebel Wilson's joke about them?
He did it though! Will did it. His fault. 100percent.
I will say it again you consider it an innocent joke so what you're saying to the world and to children is go to school put down make innocent jokes about maybe a kid with alopecia they wouldn't know their kids that has muscular dystrophy go ahead the adult said it's fine to make jokes about them it's called bullying..
God, I've been watching so much StarTalk over the past few years and I LOVE Chuck Nice's humor. You can tell he's a sponge for scientific knowledge but this interview really shows how broadly intelligent he is, especially in social situations
Feel bad for Chris Rock and I bet if that was the Rock who made the joke Smith would’ve remind in his place.
“I run fast”. I lost it. 🤣🤣🤣
If this hadn't happened I wouldn't have known it was the Oscar night😅
@CalamityQueen 🤣🤣🤣🤣Same here🤣

CHUCK NICE,
your assessment of the matter
is ONE OF THE MOST ON POINT
that I have heard so far.
I LOVE THIS INTERVIEW!
VERY AUTHENTIC;
the emotions of the both
of you, JUST WHAT
EVERYBODY's FEELING NOW!
What Smith did was unforgivable. And what the academy did after that by allowing Smith to stay on was absolutely disgusting. In short, Smith is a pariah and the academy is low class.
Love Chuck! 100% ON POINT, thank you!!
The absolute best summarization I've heard to date.... well stated sir.
And also Jada was laughing when he slapped Chris Rock. 🤔
I really liked watching this interview! Both people were so nice and agreable!!
his son saying "that's how we do it" says Volumes....sick 👎👎👎👎
Well that was a really nice interview. Really pleasant to watch!
The best way to punish Will Smith is to take away his Oscar. Chris Rock will be reminded of this assult every day for the rest of his life. Will Smith should be reminded for the rest of his life why his Oscar was taken away.
But the thing is they did not revoke Harvey Weinstein’s….
The Academy should take away the award and give him a palm sized one..just to illustrate how small he is as an individual.
Very very well said Chuck!!! Thank you
Being from the UK I haven't heard this fella before but he definitely talks a lot of sense. I shall keep an eye out for him in the future and hopefully he might come across to our shores one day...🇬🇧
He does startalk with Neil degrasse tyson if you wanted to see more of Chuck. There is so much to watch of him on CZcams
@@jackwhitbread4583 Cheers fella, I'll check him out...👍
Chris Rock should be invited to host the Oscars again whenever he'd like.
And next year he should rip into Jada even more lol
@@vincentfrusci7745 he should but he won't. He has too much class.
@@PetePuebla I know he won’t lol
We love you, Mr. Chris Rock, you're a Class Act!
Bravo, Chuck Nice!! Said with intelligence & aplomb. Tip of my hat to you; I agree with all you said!
The only comedian that I can remember that truly loved to insult was Don Rickels...That guy was ruthless! I wonder if he was ever attacked...
The Academy needs to be held accountable for thier inability or inaction to protect an employee at work and harbouring the aggressor for the entire night!
Chuck Nice got it 100% on this one! What an incredible interview! 🎯💯
People show their 'true character' when under pressure. We all saw who Will Smith is. We all saw who Chris Rock is. And there you have it. Will Smith is an insecure, people pleasing person, who has no sense of who he is. He's dangerous to himself and others. A good example of not doing the work in life to address your inner self. Always a big price to pay.
HE DIDN'T APOLOGIZE! HIS PUBLICIST APOLOGIZED TO CHRIS ROCK.
WHEN THE PUBLICIST WROTE THAT APOLOGY AND POSTED IT ON INSTAGRAM
PLEASE STOP SAYING HE APOLOGIZED
Exactly, even Chris Rock said he hasn't received an apology from Will
Dont agree that he is loved by us all. He is a narcissist. Cant stand him!
Right
Yep!
'Poor girl, does she have cancer?' 'No.' 'Does she have AIDs?' 'No. ' ' Is she dying of COVID?' 'No, she's just bald'. 'Poor thing.'
And the reason she shaves her head , by her own admission is because of all of the damage that has been done to her scalp and hair.
Tight tracks, extensions,hot combs and irons, perms, bleaching, and hair dyes.
You are correct TJ, it’s not like she’s having chemo for a deadly disease.
Very Well Said 👏
I would like to add that the lateral scar she shows on her scalp has nothing to do with Alopecia.
I would guess that it is from a facelift.
Her claims diminish people that have legitimate health issues.
Yes TJ i back that too 🙋♀️
In what world are we living? What is it? People can't take a joke anymore. Chris Rock probably didn't know that Will Smith's wife had alopecia disease. I didn't know that she was suffering from such a disease. If Will Smith felt offended, he could have handled it differently.
Will is gonna lose movie offers. Production company's don't like liability and he's just proved he's unstable and violent.
Chuck you explained it perfectly.. 😊And you are spot on. Thank you so much Chuck for being you. 👍
I knew Chuck Nice through his colaboration with Neil deGrasse Tyson, I liked him for promoting science and scientific reasoning while working with Tyson. And now I like him even more after this interview, great words, he has been the best slam towards Smith so far.
Not true about Will Smith never hitting anyone in the past. He hit a press member/fan during a press event in Europe.
When I saw it I thought they were at the club acting like a bunch of drunk thugs.
Ye.. and you wouldn’t believe that it’s actually the Oscars stage!!
Chuck your comments are STRAIGHT UP THE BEST IVE HEARD SO FAR ANYWHERE! U ARE SO EMOTIONALLY INTELLIGENT! 😁😄😃😀
Not even inappropriate if he did know. Agreed with Chuck on all other points.
Wow - Chuck Nice said it all and he said it very well.
The security that night should never work again.
Right now i see Chris Rock as the most professional standup comedian of all time
Have you ever been physically approached by somebody who didn't like your joke 🤣 i liked it
Well said. I like this man's take on what happened and what Smith should have done(talked with Chris Rock after the Oscars and tell him how the joke was upsetting to him/his wife) or could have taken the chance he had (by apologizing to Chris Rock) during his acceptance speech. I also like how he makes us laugh as well despite being serious about the points he has made.
AND Smith did not thank his Jada in his acceptance speech. SO crazy!
Best interview I've seen on this subject. Thanks
Great interview! Great, thoughtful responses. Would like to see Chuck Nice perform. He seems funny.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Well said Chuck!!!!! I’m with you!!! It was just a JOKE!!!
I agree with this guy, very honest and truthful perspective on this.
Will Smith is truly sad.
Not only did Will Smith assault Chis Rock, he justified his violence by using King Richard's legacy. Hearts are broken. King Richard's was is a real fight in his life for his family.
Chuck 100% nailed it. Security should have removed Will immediately. He slapped a presenter on stage. He yelled obscenities on live TV. Yet they let him remain? If this happened in any professional work setting he would have been dismissed immediately and likely wouldn’t be able to work in that industry ever again. What is wrong with Hollywood?
It was not a joke , it was a stepping stone for a new movie with her as the star. He and she took it wrong.
Jada obviously thinks she is beautiful without hair or she would have worn one of her many hairpieces from the past. There was no need for her to be crushed.
I have seen no videos of an apology from Will Smith towards Chris Rock which makes it VERY inauthentic
Yesssss, Chuck Nice, speak the truth.
Chuck you are so right !! Thanks for your comment !
The academy is reviewing what happened? Ask for a copy of the tape. There are about 3 million copies of it on the internet.
The only thing I disagree with in this interview is that I DO think Will's career is over. And I hope I'm right.
Called it right and used humour. Hadn't heard of him before, will now look out for him 👏👏
I don't know this guy but he was well spoken and I like his views!!!
That's what I was saying. I thought that it would have been cool if Jada and Will invited Chris on red table to discuss it like adults in front of an audience but that would have been an option WITHOUT the slap and all would have been well.
It was his lady Jada, that set him off. She has that kinda power over him.
This was the cutest interview ever. I love to CD to go at it some more in the future.
I so agree with Chuck, and while Will is on that stage with Chris, he should hand over his Oscar to Chris!
"ASSAULT IS NEVER OKAY"!! We love the ENERGY in the comment section; we want to harness it to FIX some urgent and significant issues facing this country. LET'S GO! ❤️🙏
Forced to apologize.
Never heard of Chuck Nice but am impressed with what he is saying here.
