That Red Table needs to be thrown in a fire. It’s people who act like therapists who aren’t actually educated therapists. 

true, but having security drag out a screaming and kicking will smith wouldn’t have been a good look for the academy.

It’s almost as if the workings of the industry is interesting

Much like La La Land, if there’s anything Hollywood loves, it’s Hollywood. Never has there been a greater chance for Hollywood to go on TV and tell the world about how they feel. 

That seems like cover your ass bullshit. A security guard on each side of him would have ensured Smith’s compliance with the Academy’s wishes.

Ugh thank you. I don’t care that they’ve made up now.

I agree with Wanda. He should not have been allowed to stay and enjoy the rest of the ceremony nor should he have been allowed inside any of the after parties. People are coming down on Jim Carrey and his thoughts but I agree with him too. This was not okay but the Oscars allowed it. Shame on them. So many people were…

Just a reminder, Will Smith is a bully. Don’t forget what he did to Aunt Viv. He’s always been a bully and a phony. 

“We need a couple of weeks... One day to look at the video again and 10 days to pretend we’re doing something and three days to decide on a fall guy.”

Honestly?

What is there to investigate? He slapped him. No one denies this. You still gave him the Oscar. Nothing to see or report. Nothing to investigate. Want to take it from him? Well, there better be a line that includes Polanski, Affleck, Allen, & fucking John Wayne.  This shit is ridiculous.  

The Academy’s behavior is what needs to be examined. Someone came up on stage and assaulted one of your presenters and their response was effectively, Proceed, and here’s an award! That’s the part that baffles me.

I’m sorry all of this happened to you. Or I’m happy for you. Or DAAAMMN, that shit is crazy!

And water is wet.
At this point, he could have been on horseback, with sword in hand, leading the treasonous mob to the capitol on Jan 6 while barking the orders of attack through a bullhorn and STILL be walking free planning is next presidential run.

Is it possible he just loves his wife? I’m not saying he was right, but I am saying it’s possible that these actions did not come from a place of narcissism and thinking of her as weak or his property or that he needed to defend his own ego, but instead he genuinely loves her and won’t stand for ANYONE who upsets her.

“Was he protecting Black women...?” Wtf, how condescending.

Nah, if Jada does anything she’s either dismissed as an “Angry Black Lady” or just another “hysterical woman” who doesn’t get the joke.

Smith’s not stupid. He knows he’d have been in big trouble if he would have gotten up there and slapped any white person. The fact it’s a black man slapping a black man leaves your usual conservative types completely in knots about who to side with.

You know he probably wouldn’t have done it if it was a white Bill Burr type making that joke, but I suspect he was not expecting a cruel joke about his wife’s medical condition from a black man he was probably friendly with before this. And if you watch Jada in the video before Will even gets up, you can see what…

This is why getting Congressional Earmarks back will be a win for the American people at a whole. Not only will critical infrastructure projects finally get funding again, but GOP candidates will have something other to campaign on than simply “griftiest death pusher for the GOP on Faux News” to their voters.
