We did.

Yes, disrupting acceptance speeches at the Oscars.

I didn't know Denzel Washington was an actual crazy person 

Somehow, he sounds crazier than Will Smith.

To quote Almodóvar: The devil, in fact, doesn’t exist.

Ah, but it would have been great television.

That pretty much follows with the rest of the reports in the trades from the showrunners. They feared the horrible optics of having to have security and LAPD remove Smith and how that could’ve escalated. Now, with this report that Smith refused to leave that’s even more understandable. His refusal to leave when asked

Do you really think that you’re any more involved in this than anyone else who’s not Will, Jada, or Chris? You’re just as outside of all this as the millions of other people sharing opinions and making jokes.

This happened at the Oscars in front of a live audience and the entire world saw it. The entire world is allowed to have an opinion, sorry if that pisses you off. You don’t have to agree with what people say and god knows there’s been a lot of hypocrisy and hot takes and people should think twice before making their

IMO, pretty cringe to still think it is controversial to say “hitting a comedian in the face for making jokes is bad.” 

We don’t need white people in ALL of our conversations. When we want to hear from you, we will ask. In the meantime, leave us alone.

How is it “our conversation”?  It happened live on international television between two superstars and this is a gossip website.  

If the GMG websites want to tell me I’m not supposed to have thoughts about something sensational that happened on one of the biggest stages in the world between two A-list actors, they can bring their argument to me or they can stop writing about the incident altogether.  These are gossip websites-the whole point is

God forbid nuance exist - especially in a situation like this where no one was in danger, but things got weird enough that we have something to carefully unpack. Black people are not a monolith. People with alopecia are not a monolith.  Two things can be true at the same time. I suggest an internet break if you’ve

The weird thing is that if this had been say Neve Campbell’s white male husband slapping Chris Rock, the exact people on Twitter now defending Will Smith would be decrying this of proof of like “white people’s entitlement to be violent toward black people”.

This is such vague passive aggressiveness that I can’t even tell which part of what I said got under your skin. You either think Black women make this too much of a big deal or people with alopecia don’t matter in this conversation. Either way - weird thing to feel bothered about.

Call the interviewer out in the video for drama-baiting while race-baiting your readers...classic blogger shit

I get the “we’ll (POC) take care of our own and don’t need you (white folks) telling us what to do” line of thought, but this incident happened at an industry function in front of a worldwide audience of 16+ million people. If Brad Pitt had been on stage making tasteless jokes about Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck charg

It’s such a weird divisive take on what happened. Someone can be an asshole regardless of gender, race, socioeconomic status etc. I think what Will Smith did was stupid and made him look like an asshole. Do I think all black people are stupid assholes? No.

Why aren’t white people supposed to be talking about this? I’m really asking-I keep seeing allusions to this and I don’t understand why something that happened on the Oscars is off limits to white people, who are mainly the people who watch/attend the Oscars.
