Allegedly he was laughing at the offending joke until the wife gave him the stink-eye. Or so the innernets sez. I don't watch the Oscars but I did see one of the first News reports on it and he was laughing until he saw his wife was not happy then he I guess switched to "I better do something so I don't spend the night outside in the dog house act"
It was pathetic!

Isn’t b-slapping an invitation to duel? That was prior to 1899

Chris Rock is doing 5 shows this week in Boston -- all five shows are essentially sold out. I just checked the local ticket outlets and the few tickets still available are going from $575 to $1275. The original price was $100.
It seems old Chris will survive this crisis. Will Smith, after receiving a standing O for his whiny speech, had to endure some stern finger wagging from the loonies on The View -- but it seems all will be forgiven.
Jada seems to have pulled through as she was able to deliver a platitude via Tweet.
It looks like the only losers here are us. This was the 2nd lowest rated Oscars programming ever. It was circling the drain but they found a way to back the sewer up and spill it into our homes for at least another year.
Anyone still think this wasn't staged?

Someone sent this to me and well, I thought it was funny, especially imagining an ear being involved.

I definitely don't think it was staged, nor do I see how anyone lost. I don't think there's much of a chance the Oscars won't be televised.

Everyone benefitting doesn't necessarily mean it was staged. At this point I really don't care, it won't alter the course of my life other than bolstering my sense of cynicism toward the industry.

I feel like if it was staged, it would have been done way better, Rock fights back, security rushes the stage, they would have made a spectacle out of it. I also think that Will looked legitimately out of his mind after, and as I mentioned above, I don't think he's all that good of an actor to have faked it.

"Anyone still think this wasn't staged?"
you can count me in that group. what benefit does Smith get from it if it was staged? he was seen laughing at the joke initially and then when he saw his wife's reaction that's when he went into crazy mode

I wonder if CR is going to introduce some slapstick into his act.

Latest report is that the Smiths were asked to leave the Awards and they refused.

Well, I've learned one thing from the incident, Famous people are quite fragile under the facade.

The real loosers are those that actually won an award. Instead of spending the next several days talking about who won, the news has been nonstop about Chris Rock and Will Smith. Aside from the debates over who was right or wrong or if it was staged, it becomes one more sad night for the Academy, one they can not afford.

Rock should have doubled down; with a quip aimed at Will’s cuck lifestyle.

he resigned from the Academy today so I guess he won't be eligible in the future. but I bet he gets to keep the Oscar.

Now that I watched it an even more annoying second time, anything better than a kick in the nuts would have been too much attention to that sorry Ali impersonator.

Good thing he didn't tell a joke about Alec Baldwins wife.
Ok I stole it. Cracked me up though.

Smith's name has already become synonymous with slapping someone.
"You'd better back off or I'll Will Smith you."
