imagine if will slaps her

[obamanut2012]

1. Regina Hall made an even "meaner" joke earlier in the Oscars about Jada screwing other men

Jada ROARED with laughter. Will ROARED with laughter.

So, that is why I call BS on everyone defending Smith's unhinged assault of Chris Rock.

4. I vaguely recall.

I'm afraid their "openness" exposes them as the butt of jokes....

[uponit7771]

7. +1, WS laughed at the GI Jane joke Rock told !!!

[Jilly_in_VA]

11. Ever heard of "uncomfortable laughter"?

Know what it is? Ever done it yourself? Think about it.

[obamanut2012]

12. That is not what that was, come on

[Jilly_in_VA]

14. Do not be too sure.

You aren't him and you don't know.

[uponit7771]

15. Yeah, I've also heard about the courage not to laugh at all at something consider SO DAMN ...

.... cruel that a person commits any order of escalated violence on another human being

In a court case I'd put money on it that Smiths even uncomfortable laughter would negate "mitigating circumstances" in sentencing.

If he was mad enough to slap he should've been mad enough not to laugh ... AT ALL

[Polly Hennessey]

29. Agree. For me there has always been

something “icky” about the pair.

[cilla4progress]

2. Open marriage.

Wondering if it's workable.

In any case, probably inadvisable to broadcast it...seems like it could put inordinate stress on a marriage. I feel like Smith's meteoric mood shift and violent reaction in that moment may have had some external triggers..

[obamanut2012]

16. It isn't a secret

They've had an open marriage for a long time, and he is a "cuck" -- he likes to watch women and other men fuck his wife. She is open about fucking her son's friends.

[Emile]

20. Oh my, quite the couple! They should look into the GOP sex orgys!

[blueinredohio]

32. Yuck!

[usedtobedemgurl]

33. I have seen it work about

90% of the time. My partner and I have been in an open relationship just short of ten years. I am totally in charge. I approve any and all partners for him. Most of the time we play or have a relationship with someone together, but I have let him play on his own between 15-20 times over the years. We always have honest and open communication.

If you have any other curiosities, feel free to reply here or dm.

3. Great joke. Love Rebel Wilson. nt

[Srkdqltr]

5. Imagine how Will and Jada fell about being made fun of?Constantly. A lot of folks who do this humor

are scurrying to cover and justify.

Chris Probably got in their last nerve. Will should not. Chris should not, Rebel should not.

I don't understand why comedians have to demean a person. I don't understand that type of mind set.

[Jilly_in_VA]

13. Yeah, I don't either.

Stay out of other people's stuff, generally.

[Effete Snob]

19. When I am that wealthy, please make fun of me

I will make that sacrifice.

[Coventina]

21. IKR? I'm having a hard time feeling sorry for the Smiths.

(not the band, the Hollywood power couple).

[Effete Snob]

24. I'll offer a pay-by-the-insult-rate

You can call me anything you want for $50.

Make fun of whatever - my weight, hair, looks, personality, intelligence, ethnic background, medical condition... that strange odor when I take off my shoes. Anything and everything for one low price.

Howzat?

[Coventina]

25. I once saw a guy with a sign that said, "Punch me, $5"

You certainly live up to your user name!!

[Effete Snob]

28. That would separate the hypocrites from the rest

I will give you a choice.

For $50, you have to:

(a) have someone insult your spouse on television, or

(b) have someone slap your face on television.

Which would you prefer?

Or let people set their own rates for each.

I would bet that most people would pick (a), or would charge more for getting hit.

[Coventina]

30. I think you are really on to something here!

[uponit7771]

6. Yep, watch the gerbiling in 3 .... 2.... 1

[Effete Snob]

22. The, um, what?

Apparently, there are aspects of this story of which I have remained blissfully unaware.

[usedtobedemgurl]

8. I don't get it.....

I thought Will and Jada have an open marriage but Rebel calls it cheating? I know more people in open relationships than are not. None of the significant others call it cheating and it is not considered as such.

Figures, with all the prejudices that abound. When I told my ex I was in an open relationship, he said, “That is just an excuse to cheat.”

Rebel needs to know wtf she is talking about, before she speaks.

[Retrograde]

9. Two wrongs don't make a right

nor do three, four, a hundred, or a billion. I'm getting less tolerant of so-called humor that relies on putting down or making fun of someone - make jokes about yourself all you want, but don't figuratively punch down.

[Srkdqltr]

10. Yes , you said it well.

[obamanut2012]

17. lol they aren't punching down at all

Smith stans on here are hysterical.

[BlackSkimmer]

26. Yep, and no way would they be defending Keith Urban if he had done it.

Or many of the other husbands of wives there.

[Effete Snob]

18. LOL

[treestar]

23. If it's a woman

yes, I doubt he would do the slap. Maybe Jada would do it herself?

Maybe if she were the one that slapped Chris it would seem different - but an assault is still an assault.

[BlackSkimmer]

27. I doubt he'd have slapped a larger man either.

Rock is older than he and smaller.

[Coventina]

31. Colbert's take was pretty funny.

(paraphrasing)

"Chris Rock can really take a punch! He's 57 years old and much smaller than Will Smith. I'm 57! He shook it off with one step! I would have been laid out!"
