    Will stood up, interrupted a whole show, assaulted a man over a joke, went back to his seat, swore at him, got coddled by his Hollywood friends, won an award, made a speech, and got applauded. I can't even fathom that kind of privilege.

      I know right. Anybody else would have been thrown out and arrested immediately. I'm getting another O.J. feeling here. A rich popular guy doing whatever he wants and nobody does anything. Hell, Will got a standing ovation. After this, I don't want to hear Hollywood saying sh*t about anything political, or talking down to anybody because of their 'pro-right' views. They have proven for all time, just how cowardly they really are.

      Look at the producer putting the blame on Chris for why Will wasn't escorted out. I said before just because Chris didn't want Will hauled out in cuffs by LAPD on live TV doesn't mean the Academy shouldn't have escorted Will out by security. Will Packer as a hired individual doesn't see he's going to be the Academy's scapegoat. They are lucky Chris isn't suing the Academy for perpetuating an unsafe working environment. It had to be stressful to remain there while his assailant was comforted in the mist of a breakdown, given an award and praised like a king with that standing ovation.

Accountability, owning and making hard decisions is something that is super rare these days with too many people. But I’m afraid in this day and age Packer’s disastrous handling of the aftermath will go without consequences, heck with how woke Hollywood is he may even get another shot at it.

    Chris Rock didn’t want Will Smith removed from the awards show or he didn’t want the police to take him to jail? Perhaps the producer misunderstood and that part needs to be clarified.

      They’re probably thinking it’s more complex considering Chris rock went off script. He didn’t really have to come after Jada like that so the producer is probably a little more hands off at that point and putting it on Chris because he’s the one who said what he said. I bet you if it was on script, it would’ve been looked at differently. It definitely would not have fallen on Chris it would’ve fallen on the writers and more of the Academy. This was strictly between the two men. Chris rock didn’t want Will Smith removed from the show, nor did he want the police involved. He just wanted to show to go on.

    I work in a large hospital (company). If someone hired by the company (employee) is assaulted by someone, the company’s Human Resource department doesn’t ask the employee if they want action taken against the assailant, they just enforce the company’s no-tolerance for violence, harassment, discrimination, etc. policies. An assault against an employee is an assault against the company. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is a highly profitable company. It nets in the neighborhood of $40M-$50M per year. For the 2022 Academy Awards Show, Chris Rock was hired as a Presenter (employee). An employee of the company was assaulted. There is no reasonable excuse why the company didn’t take swift and decisive action and immediately invoke legal action. Hats off the Chris Rock’s professionalism, but the company let him and all who value justice down. At this point the Academy is equally at fault and paramount to accessory to the assault.

    On the other hand, Will Smith thinks he can do damage control by calling up Academy board members to apologise before even getting on the phone and apologising to Chris like a man. Relying on a publicist to release a media apology statement instead of doing it himself. Chris Rock is twice the man he is. Pathetic.

    I’m a producer. This producer did not do the right thing. He didn’t need chris’s (the victim and his employee - not a friend in this scenario) permission to arrest Will (a guest - not a friend in this scenario). Chris was not in charge of the Oscar’s - he was. The fact that he let this go based on the employee’s feelings to guest relationship showed he’s a weak producer. He showed the world he don’t know how to handle violent issues properly under his command and he can’t separate friends from work. This isn’t a fight in his home between the two of them - this was a slap in front other guests in a place that was not his, in front of tv that broadcasted over the world, which he do not own. His job was to keep all this employees and all his guests mentally and physically safe. He failed.

    Do not leave the call up to the one who was assaulted, especially minutes after it occurred. If I was Chris I would have said the same thing. As a victim you're thinking of diluting the embarrassment, making people believe you are fine, making others comfortable. These are classic thoughts. Fine, can't press charges. But that took place in the academy's house, streaming to families around the world, witnessing a blatant act of unprovoked violence. Comedy clubs wouldn't let someone do that and stay because it sets a tone for what's permissible - they should have REMOVED him.

    The victim should never be put in the position to be responsible to decide what happens next, immediately after an assault and battery. The fact that the academy and/or academy affiliates are using Chris's statements (directly after the assault) as rationale for not ejecting Will Smith is absolutely despicable. In the fact they are slapping him again by trying to use his statements as justification. It's disgusting. When someone is assaulted, it's time for the people around the victim to step up and take control of the situation. Chris was assaulted once by Will Smith and is now assaulted again by the Academy and the producers of the show.

      Hollywood is a good example of when the Rule of Equity (ROE) supersedes the Rule of Law (ROL). Historically, the ROE was specifically created for the British Monarchy, where the Royals were given "Equity Points" (EPs) for their royalty, power, prestige, wealth, social status. The ROL, on the other hand, was created specifically for the non-Royals, the Commoners. The Royals were spotted certain EPs depending on their line of accession to the throne. The King or Queen was spotted infinity EPs, a prince or princess, duke or duchess, baron or baroness would be spotted a lower number from the King, Queen. But the Royals would have much more EPs than any Commoner. This allowed the Royals to rape, murder, torture, enslave the Commoners at will, since the ROE superseded the ROL meant for Commoners. In the U.S., there is no Monarchy, but there are those with wealth, power, fame, prestige, high social status, and their Equity Points are based on these characteristics. As a throwback to British Rule, the U.S. continued w/ the British system of having 2 governing laws: (1) ROE, (2) ROL. And as a throwback, in the U.S., the ROE supersedes the ROL. The Founding Fathers detested the ROE and worked hard to eradicate this in the U.S. legal system; they felt that the ROE was another manifestation of Tyranny. But the ROE crept back in via many SCOTUS rulings in the past two centuries. Hence, this is why some peeps are given special consideration not afforded to others. In Hollywood, Smith has more EPs than Rock. Hence, this is why the LAPD, Academy Awards honchos are giving Smith more consideration, leniency.

    Chris Rock dealt with bullies growing up and learned by reacting to a punch or verbal jabs, the bully wins. He was cool, collected and did not give Will Smith the satisfaction. Chris did not get Will Smith arrested and removed from the Oscars. Chris knew if he reacted that way even though he was justified, Will Smith would get the sympathy from being led out by the LAPD in handcuffs and sent to prison. Chris Rock was the smartest guy in the room and he had the last laugh.

      Yes they do need to ask the victim because there is no point in arresting him if it's just going to be dropped afterwards. If the victim won't testify then there is no case. So then resources are being wasted. Paperwork, time, he would be out on his own recognizance in an hour.

    I was at Chris Rock’s show last night in Boston, some of the people in the audience started cursing Will Smith and tried to get the rest of us to chant with them. Chris quickly shut that down saying “it’s all good, it’s all good”. The people were removed and Chris went about telling his jokes that he had already prepared, none about this incident. Chris Rock is a true class act, he has handled himself professionally even when having the opportunity to take shots at Will Smith.

      That would have been a powerful message. It's a little disturbing that Chris Rock is being called a hero, in part, for not pressing charges or wanting Smith kicked out. It sets a bizarre expectation for victims of violence to not press charges in order to gloss things over for everyone else. I'm not saying that Rock did the wrong thing, but it seems off to call that particular decision heroic. Either way, the joke was funny and not that harsh at all.

The concern is how his decision is being perceived. For some people, pressing charges is the only way to stand up to bullies. People might be pressured out of choosing that option because Chris Rock is considered a hero for not pressing charges. Bullies and non-bullied people will find every reason for a victim to keep the status quo.

It's only hair loss, and if you see her scalp, you'll see that it is a small patch. But she decided to make it a huge thing because she is an attention seeker.
