I am always here for Jack Antonoff content but I hope we can all agree that calling this behaviour horny is a huge reach. Playful sure and it’s lovely to see but that’s it. 

Completely agree. What a bunch of horse shit.

Oh, my bad. Yes, completely agree that he should not have been put in that position so quickly after the incident.

Yah, if I haul off and slap someone at work, they don’t ask that person if I should get in trouble.

Oh, I get it, sorry. Yeah, I’m surprised that they listened to them. I would think the Academy leadership would make their own choice. Maybe they are Scientologists.

It also feels like shock. How could you make such a huge decision in that moment? Its not just a slap - its a slap millions of people watched and you’re in a room surrounded by Hollywood. That must have been immense pressure to just try and stop the madness. If it took place in a bar, Chris Rock may have made a…

My guess is there was some chaotic, ambiguous discussion about what everyone might want to do in the immediate aftermath and now each party is Rashomoning themselves into a version of events where they were totally blameless.

But an exchange like

Hopefully in the SNL version, lol.

Maybe all those hugs were just people whispering "please leave" into his ear?

Sorry, why was one of the hosts of the Oscars not allowed to comment about what happened at the Oscars event she was hosting? 

Well I'm not bored of it yet!

Really, I’m most curious to know what Jada thinks of all of this. I’m looking forward to Jezebel’s write-up of her future Red Table Talk.

Possibly but I also could easily see whoever was in charge sending some poor usher to quietly ask him to leave without contemplating what to do if Smith said no.  

Damn. I hate that he didn’t get to have a comeback or one last great role.

It’s one thing to make fun of yourself when you’re in the right headspace for it and entirely another when someone else makes fun of you in front of the entire world.

I’m not going to speak for all white men everywhere but to your questions.

I think it was a bad joke, but I'm also curious how some people are getting such an insulting read on it. Demi Moore was considered one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood when it came out? 

If you watch that back and forth where Will Smith is uncontrollably screaming and swearing- you can almost see the wheels turning in Chris Rock’s mind. At first he says, “It was a “GI Jane” joke!” Then it looks like he was going to say something else and thought better of it. Then Smith yells at him again and Rock…

Do we know that?

I generally don’t comment on other people’s appearance, even complimentary, for a reason. People are sensitive about it, and you never know what the reason might be behind an appearance. Who knows if the weight loss you noticed or whatever is a source of pride or a source of angst? A lot of people’s lives would have…
