In that moment, he showed the world, on live television how arrogant and egotistical he really is. He attacked someone, he should have gone to jail, IMO. I don't think this is the first time he's done something like this, or treated people like crap...it's the first time we all saw it.
I'll bet you're right‼️
"Fogged out" was he fogged out when he was partying at the after party? He didn't realize the significant backlash he would receive. 3 months later and now he's sorry. I call BS! This is a PR thing. He has numerous projects on hold due to his behavior.
The worst part of this apology video is that Will Smith looks like he is a hostage.
I don’t blame Chris Rock for not meeting with him. My gut feeling is that Rock is moving on - without Will.
Will Smiths tone sounds like Jada, not himself. To me this apology wasn’t really an apology, it’s just bizarre to me. If he were truly sorry it wouldn’t have taken him so long to apologize! He’s also reading a script.
He was more concerned about Chris’ mother, brother and Questlove’ feelings then he was about Chris and his feelings and how it affected him. 🤦🏼♀️
Will Smith: KEEP MY WIFE’S NAME OUT YOUR FKN MOUTH!!
Also Will Smith: It had nothing to do with Jada (my wife).
😂
You nailed it!!! I don't think he really gets it. His ego, he's arrogance caused this and he never says that. That's what I need to hear
He should never have mentioned his wife in this apology, very disappointed when I heard that. OMG I agree with you so much about all this depth put into his response. Jada is the same...she can't speak without using this "depth"...big turn off.
I agree.
Jada saw him laughing at Chris' joke about her and rolled her eyes. Will saw her and only then decides to act insulted and pissed off. Had he not seen her eye roll he would've kept laughing at the jokes and done nothing. He just brought more attention to her which is probably what she wanted too.
I think Will needs a new PR team.
Don’t you think Will/Jada are their own PR team??
Perfectly said lol
Man, he just needs to stop. He needs to go back where he was gaining that insight and get a refund. His narcissistic b.s. could be have been removed with a shovel. He wants back into Hollywood. He thinks he's suffered enough. What he did was inexcusable. He thought he was above it all. He really believes he deserves, actually DESERVES to be back in the Hollywood spotlight. I don't buy one word of this. I'm sorry but there's nothing wrong with a little shame now and then
"got hurt?" how about GOT INFURIATED? got FILLED WITH TOTAL CONTEMPT FOR YOU? The Psychologist is right in seeing the ARROGANCE of his POV. Needs to differentiate between pride and self-confidence and arrogance.
It’s not a heartfelt apology and I don’t accept it. Chris is not accepting it and don’t care about it. Once he put his hands on someone than what does he think was going to happen. I don’t accept it.
YESSS! I have trauma. I have some sort of cptsd. I have to take accountability for my actions. I don't drink, I don't do drugs.. thank you for saying what you said.
Me too! 🩷🤗🇨🇦
At this point, the only way people will be able to move on from this is if Will saves a baby from a burning building, develops the cure for cancer, gives away all of his money to charity and allows the top 10 comedians to punch him in the face.
Disappointing people is his central trauma
This fits with his psychological type
This was great analysis. Deserves more attention. Will should defintely watch this but I'm sure he won't
It really bothers me to see that the culture in America is very much about waiting to see how others react to a situation, especially in the case of celebrities and the wealthy and powerful, before they actually follow their own instant reactions and what would be done if it was just some Joe Blow, who did the same thing. Joe Blow would have instantly been grabbed by security and taken out of the theatre if he had walked up on stage and assaulted the host. But, Will Smith, a celebrity actor (wow), gets a standing ovation!!!! WTF America. It is not acceptable on ANY level. It's like the people themselves have created different, or no, rules or laws or common decency, for any of the elite. That situation should have been handled immediately, by protocol, a no brainer and he should not have been able to go back on stage and accept the award (they could have just state that he won the award and that he wasn't able to accept it at this time : ) )....because he should NOT have been in the theatre by that time. Some times there is no black and white, but in this case there was NO DOUBT that what he did was outrageously wrong and a CRIME, period!
Been waiting on this
You nailed all the things I was picking up on! Love your content, keep it coming, please.
I don't blame Chris at all . A little to late 3 months later what ever. Your apology sucks. I use to think of Will Smith very highly but I have lost all my respect of him.
Thanks David for saving me the trouble of reading that crap.,
Accountability is the key to changing behaviors. Thank you for discussing that
And now per jada they haven't been together in 6 years. Makes it wayyyy worse.
Just watching this, fans of Chris Rock knows the history between the Smiths, & Chris. And that's why he wasn't sorry at the time & that's why he did it.
Will apology took full accountability. Way more than his wife entanglement fiasco
I think he should just let it go at this point, he made a really poor move and slapped Chris Rock. I don't think anyone would just say "yeah I forgive" just cus they apologised, considering Will hit him during the Oscars and millions of people watching it, it was just a big stage. I think he should just keep the issue private to his household, what's interesting is how Chris Rock would perceive this apology, I assume he'll probably see it.
🎶“Sorry, I ain’t sorry. Sorry, I ain’t sorry. I ain’t sorry”. 🎶🎵 Beyoncé. That’s what comes to mind when I watch this.
Great analysis. Curious about the choice of lighting behind his head. Subconscious sainthood?…
Oh, I love to dig deeper into Will’s subconscious mind…. 🤓
I’m feeling fuzzy watching this.
Not buying it Will.
Hope you can heal from your own wounds. He feels remorse at least.

Update and now we have to once again wait for Will Smith to come out again with another explanation video. I saw hi: on instagram doing other videos but I wonder how he is going to do the answer for this issue currently. What are you alls thoughts? How long before his new response?
Those are exactly my thoughts. He's been one of my favorite public figures for almost 3 decades, and that incident made him fall from grace in a heartbeat! It showed me a dark side that I did not like. I too have a shitty dark side that I am not proud of, however, a red line that I NEVER cross is disrespecting others willingly without apologizing. My temper gets the best out of me at times and when I snap I am very nasty, but all it takes is a comment or a look to ground me back right away and apologize immediately. Every one such altercation was a harsh lesson and I never lost my temper twice with the same person because I'm very mindful if I have previously conducted myself poorly with them. This constant awareness helps me become less susceptible to an amygdala hijacks in the heat of the moment. My problem with Will is that he just did it with Chris because he did not think there would be any consequences as Chris is not an A-list actor, so he's below in social rank of some sorts. This was not just obvious from the slap but from the ongoing waterfall of insults and terrible poor attitude that continued even as Will left the stage and got back on his chair. I felt so upset and in denial; he was just showing Chris his sizes, trying to intimidate him, and establishing his authority and social status over him. What a piss poor show that was!!! On the other hand, I am sure if another A-list actor or someone like Ricky Gervais made that same joke in the same instance, Will would have thought twice before moving out of his chair and wouldn't have ended up smacking anyone! That's one thing I cannot let go or forgive; to cross a red line because you feel so much power that you can get away without any consequences! Unless I know that Chris voluntarily and wholeheartedly forgives him for what he did, I don't believe I ever can. I just can't stand bullying and humiliating others! If I ever see Chris in real life, I would walk up to him and salute him for being the bigger man! His self-restraint, even if out of shock, is what allowed the event to continue that night despite all the awkwardness that Will created with his behavior.
Nothing more than damage control.
This feels like damage control to me. He was unbothered and unfazed in the after party of the Oscars.
Anxiety can make you look like an ass too. I have had anxiety that created avoidance, not that I didn't care about something, I was just trying to avoid how anxious and uncomfortable something made me. Just a different take. Nothing about slapping someone is cool or acceptable, I am just trying to see a different view. I would love to party in the after party rather than accept something I did, AT FIRST, then after the reality hits once that ability to avoid the issue has faded. People who have anxiety can overthink. Again, not saying or talking for him or his ego, but sometimes it can create that "deep" needed thought.
Dr Colarossi...you are hilarious😊 When you stopped the tape and commented on THE SIGH...I HOLLERED😂😅😅
5:00 You acted poorly.
#KnockItOff
1:23 ...I think people over think and, consequently, overrate his eloquence. However, remember that his rhymes were...a bit childish:
"Illway the an-may on the ance-day oor-flay,
Give it up jiggy, make it feel like foreplay"
....that first line...yep, that's pig latin for "Will be the Man on Dance Floor" ....🤦♂️🤷♂️
I don't think it unfair for me to say:
otnay eallyray akespeareshay now is ehay? _[Not Really Shakespeare now is he?]_
...ustjay ayinsay. [Just Sayin]
I don’t believe him for a second. He was laughing at something Chris Rock said about his wife and she gave Will a look to kill. He did it and both he and Jada laughed after. One of his kids said “ this is how we do it”. He is disgusting
Thank you! He's just looking for a way back into Hollywood. It wasn't until he slapped Mr. Rock and now this apology plus his "I don't want to be ashamed of myself," comment that made me realize he's just as narcissistic as his wife. I always knew he had some tendencies, but this just really confirmed it! There's nothing wrong with a little shame. Its good for people like Will Smith!
Yes exactly! Everybody forgets about the look.
Pride comes before the fall
You must tell me where you got that hoodie.
Requesting you do a series unpacking the new Netflix series The Most Hated Man on the Internet!! If not, you should at least watch it..very entertaining
How do you feel now that her book is coming? Cause wow they hits different now that she said she is not his wife
Check my channel page - I did a video about Jada
When you talk about shame and your subject is a Black American person you need to keep in mind that there is generational shame for Black people in America passed down through the centuries after slavery that has never been talked about or worked on. I am Black, a Boomer, from a bougie Black family and I have carried shame in my life of being less than the white people in this country. We are constantly reminded we are less than, not desirable, criminal element, not attractive etc. Will, no matter how intelligent he is has shared in carrying some of this, it's rare to find those who don't carry it. It is still a thing I have to remind myself of from time to time, not to let the shame from racism I've experienced color what i think of myself. Not to feel that I'm am inherently bad or wrong just because I exist and if you come from a family with abuse of any sort this just gets compounded.
He is just mimicking how his wife talks. Like she tutored him about what to say. Will isnt a narcissist, his wife is. He definitely has narcissistic traits, but he's nowhere near what she is. He's blind to alot. When I see this I think of a mixture of his real empathy, and her manipulation
yes, i couldnt put my thoughts into words so thank you. this is spot on to what I felt too. People dont understand how much a narcissist can control, even turn you into one of them, make you do things you never would do. Narcissists use the mind to control, not their strength, intimidation, status... strip all that away and they can still control you. I think Will knew what she is, but he is lost and too deep now. She blinks and he jumps.
Don't forget it's easy to like these people I grew up watching them but we all know how Hollywood is this is what kind of video you get with a bunch of soulless people. Will Smith was on jeopestine iland flight record allot of famous people
We all need to be better stewards in our lives. Humans=we will mess up.
Not good enough. It must be directly to Chris rock to his face. And except the rejection. You will get.Don’t ever expect to be friends or even acknowledge him when he walks down the street.
He is a human being. He should not be judged by a single move in his life. We are all capable of doing to others what has been done to us (Baldwin).
Growth comes from taking accountability and learning from it. I dont feel like either of those things happened here.
The worst role he ever played. He should have brought another actor to play him😂
I think Will needs a divorce.
I really think he is a lucky go fella , happy , normal but he got married to that narcissist who keeps questioning just how much He loves her...like prove it Will
It’s disappointing that as a psychologist you are remarking on this based on not knowing some basic facts about Will and his history. Why? Because your “analysis” feels gossipy under the guise of psychological insight. As a psychologist your opinion holds more weight than the usual blogger.
But you are thanks to your wife, Jada.
WIL YOU NEED TO CLEAN UP YOUR FAMILY .Become a person that’s worth respect. Your wife not only does not respect you and shows your kids not to respect you.
Guy just needs to drop Jada, get to know his kids again and when he's feeling secure in himself maybe in a few years of reflection then we will see some good movies again and maybe by then Chris Rock will be over it
EXACTLY THIS!!!!
I suppose that Will Smith felt that he was in the right when he marched on that stage and slapped Chris Rock across the face. I can imagine how confused Will had to be when he saw people taking Chris's side. But if Smith only spoke up in defence of his wife and told her sob story right there and then, without the slap part, it would all turn the other way around and we would now be talking about empathy and the boundaries around joking. So, both of them had it coming...
Just as violence is unacceptable, we also need to acknowledge that public joking and comedy have gone a little out of control lately (even though everyone thought it was soft joke... Which proves my point) Still, humor is important and part of our humanity and we probably wouldn't survive without it, we just need to inject empathy in there
Whatever! You're too soft on him. Obviously blinded by being a fan.
Im still shocked that everybody care this much over him slapping Chris rock over a disrespectful joke about Jada. It just doesn’t matter overall to be honest. And for Will to do something violent for the first time, he shouldn’t get punished as if he shot chris. For him to bring up Chris then maybe they did have past beef but again I wouldn’t of apologized. You did what you did no changing it now.
