#NBCNews #WillSmith #Oscars
Everyone keeps saying he's human. We're all human. But most of us have never walked up to another man and slapped him in his face either. If so, we would have been arrested instead of given an award, a standing ovation, and allowed to party at an after party.
I was slapped in high school in weight training by another student I didn't hit back because of consequences I did stare him down year's later he apologized at a grocery store. Good thing because I was actually going to kick his but outside in the parking lot
Well said
Yes we did i did and people have to me plenty of times
If u grew up in my neighborhood, a man would do way worse if you disrespected his wife, sometimes you got to show people not to play in your face, It wasn't the first time he disrespected Jada he had it coming he deserved it
@@TheBABS09 your lost.
Chris: 🤡
Will: 😂
Jada: 😒
Will: 🤬
Yep. Jada’s flaunt.
Priceless entertainment 😂
Chris: 🤕
👋😠 amirite
Exactly. All of it was bs excuses. It was all about when he saw his wife's face when he joked about her.
Maybe an apology to Chris without excuses like "the little boy who watched his dad hit his mom." would be more in line than trying to excuse yourself so your movie does better.
Exactly
Yes!
exactly that was weak a...move..... take responsibility for that childish move bro confess and apologize just like you had no problem slapping the brotha then don't be ashamed of being honest to admit u were wrong bro.
lol it wasn't cause of that, chris made a joke about his wife not his mother or her mother, will smith has trauma from jada cheating on him with so many guys, it's quite sad really, i think him slapping chris was a sad attempt at trying to gain acceptance from his wife, sorry smith she's still going to cheat! crazy that a man is trying to prove their worth to such a woman who cheats on them with their SON's best friend.
Perfectly said. Taking accountability is hard for people these days smh
You can tell he wasn’t really sorry about it. There’s no doubt he’s feeling the regret though. Once your actions and words have been done, you cannot take them back. Simple as that. He could’ve been remembered as the movie star we all know of for his particular roles. Unfortunately, he is now remembered for this forever….
I don't even watch his movies anymore.
Didnt know you were a mind reader
Suckered. It was all a huge act.
@@User-lz6ruit’s kinda obvious
Narcissist are never sorry!
This "apology tour" has more to do with money than anything else, and the excuses he's using are complete BS. If you go back and re-watch the video you'll see he laughs at the joke Chris Rock made, and then turns and sees his wife's reaction, she says something, and all of a sudden he gets up and heads for the stage. He wasn't "going thru" anything, he was pushed by his lovely wife...
Bye bye willy smith. I’ll never watch anything he’s involved in
U are right . All this crap is just promoting his new movie.
Facts
Ish
its called marketing . but wow . under a marketing video where he is promoting his new movie with a 2 liner about him beeing sorry.
and u going to acknowledge this . wow ur simply the smartest youtube cat alive
He laughed at the joke also....until he got the death stare from his wife.
His fake wife they been separated for years 😅
What I will never forget is his smile after hitting Chris. He laughed proudly what he had done and seemed to expect people to praise him. His colleagues applauded and presented him with an Oscar. He'll be forgiven, but as a fan, I don't watch his movies because I'm disappointed in him.
Yeah after this situation I can't even get myself to watch anything associated with Will Smith and I own a couple of his movies.
I'm betting that this movie will flop based solely off of his behavior during that night. Which will be the final nail in the coffin. His career is already done as an A-lister. Just waiting for time to catch up now.
I mean he was laughing before he slapped Chris, lol. He only went up because of his wife probably told him to.
He had a smile because his intention was to humiliate him back, it wasent to hurt him physically
Not To Me, I'm Proud Of Him
He is an embrassment, no idea how he wasn't dragged out of there and charged.
Black privilege
@@Nick-wh4jtGood one
If his name was Joe Schmo he would have been. Way of the world...
An apology tour right before his new movie is released? Wow what a coincidence 🙄
No no, Will Smith. You don't get to blame your personal traumas for that kind of entitled behavior. You were sitting in the front row, a nominee, and you thought you could get away with assaulting another person in front of the whole world, that somehow, we will all understand how aggrieved you are by Chris Rock's joke about your wife's hair. Everyone who stood up and gave you a standing ovation when you took the Oscar has some serious soul searching to do.
Well said, skylark. Well said 👏🏽
Ego issues, 'bout sums it up !😶
W Will, keep malding
"You don't get to blame your personal traumas for that kind of entitled behavior."
THANK YOU
If his mother was a victim of domestic violence, his words are even straight up disrespectful for her !
I was a big fan before this. The fact he hasn't apologised and is only worried for his own repercussions is arguably even worse than what he did. Loved the fresh prince and many of his films, yet I can't watch them after everything that's happned.
He has publicly apologized twice
Oh please
@@JuanPerez-qr8blhe did on his channel
No offense, but get a grip.
no need to stop watching his stuff, if anything it'll just make his roles more ironic, he's turned himself into a glory hole for roasts
Chris Rock is going to destroy Will on his Netflix special 💀
And he did exactly that
Lol
Is this an apology or promotion for his next film what kind of clip is this
Exactly
Both
A gaslighting interview. Will smith is despicable
The Academy should revoke his award immediately.
Cancel this fool already, you slapped a 57 year old man, Chris Rock is a national treasure
Nobody is perfect.
Chris rock disrespected him and his wife on national TV and The people in the audience
@@entertainingblackmanvideos7691 and he disrespected Jada at the 2016 Oscars aswell. Apparently she rejected him in the 90s, and it show. Petty man.
What a bully, what a disrespect him as an actor and as a human... I don't care what kind of EXCUSES he wants to come up with
even if he'd have mental problems?
It’s almost like having money prevents you from facing legal repercussions
Like oj
He honestly doesn’t seem sorry
There is more to that story than what he is explaining. A toxic relationship is hard thing to deal with, if I was him I wouldn't talk about it either.
Chris R. Was with Jada 20 years ago 😂😂😂
@@BigfooteXpert9000and Chris asked Jada out straight after she split from Will! 🙈
Will not actually apologising for slapping a much smaller man, who didn't see it coming, is appalling
Dude i was just like "Hey remember when Will Smith did that thing at the Oscars? I wonder what he's up to rn" and this video was the first search result
You are being watched - FBI
Same
Will Smith is hiding still
I don't like will Smith anymore 👎
Who cares? But I don't blame you.
In real world you go jail for that
before 2022: Will Smith (Fresh Prince of Bel Air), Steve Hiller (Independence Day), Agent J (MIB 1, 2 and 3), James West (Wild West), Robert Neville (I am legend), John Hancock (Hancock) and so many others...
after 2022: the guy who slapped Chris Rock...
Dude the more will talks and smiles and tells stories to make himself appear more like a victim / innocent the more scary and delusional he looks.
Just say you're sorry, dude. You did it because you were angry about what Chris said and you acted out stupidly. I'm sorry. To all my fans, you don't do these things, I acted irrationally. I'm sorry.
Except that would be a lie.
Because he initially laughed at the joke.
It was only when he saw Jada was not amused, that he flipped.
I'd bet a million that the interaction with his nephew never happened.
bullies should get what they deserve i put my hands on ppl when they harm me
I don’t think he is not sorry. I can tell he has anger issues
Reminder that he was laughing until he realized Jada wasn't.
Too late Will, the damage is done.
I think its pathetic when he starts to blame he's childhood
Magic words But most of us have never walked up to another man and slapped him in his face either
Nah i been doin dat since elementary
Wil needs to go into the sunset and be happy…
Will died for many people after that
Will Smith does need to retire and start a new life away from Jada
He is creating a fictional story about why his anger was boiling up and he could relate to a different situation when he was a kid. This is a lie, he was fed up with his wife for all these years and let Chris have it all!
He is not sorry...he is promoting his movie.
He doesn't look sorry whilst he's doing the interview
Way too soon for him to be forgiven and blaming his childhood as part of the reason was hacky.
Honestly though, 90% of the population have already forgotten about this. If he would just stop bringing it up he’d be fine lol
Way too soon for him to be forgiven? Really? That seems a little drastic don’t you think?
When you want forgiveness for something that you’ve done, and you have repented of it and no longer do that anymore, don’t you feel that you should get forgiveness sooner than later? It’s a darn good thing that God and Jesus Christ are the judge of mankind and not men, because men are merciless and unjust. Where as God is full of justice and love and he’s very forgiving if you will stop what it is you’re doing wrong.
So don’t give me this high and mighty it’s too soon for him to be forgiven nonsense.😮💨
@Tamitatangoto So I can go out and do whatever I want tonight and just ask for forgiveness and not do whatever I did again, and you believe I'm entitled to be forgiven for it? Just because I said sorry?
Man, I wish you ran things. Or someone as equally stupid as you are.
@@laternevercame No Cauliflower,...that's not what I'm saying that you can go out and do whatever you want tonight and just ask for forgiveness in the morning. That's basically premeditated sin, especially if you planned it all out. That's what many Catholics do. And it's not correct.
When something you do is not right then you stop doing it,..Pray to God for help to accomplish that. When you have stopped doing that bad thing then you can ask God to forgive you for it.
But if you keep doing the bad thing while praying to stop doing it, but you keep doing the bad thing then you're in a vicious circle. There is some effort required.
And I'm definitely not stupid.
I am well educated.
I am especially well-educated in the Bible.
I have been a Bible student for 35 years.
And I apply its principles in order to live a good life.
They banned him but let him win that night. Idiocy. I love how everyone thought The Smiths were so wholesome and such way back. Now more and more things come out.
actually, there was growing buzz that there was infidelity within the marriage.
Doesn’t matter if your a celebrity you can’t hit someone like that especially when it’s be broadcasted to the world and especially when the 1000 other celebrities are witnessing it
yes we saw the video you don’t really need to point out the obvious.
In short "I got filmed doing this. I'm not sorry but my bad."
You lost it while I lost all my respect for you. Don't blame it on someone beating your mom in the past, that's some BS. If anything, you should have learned from that!
Let’s not forget his wife stare was the catalyst. What a shame
Will Smith is just incredibly rude and entitled. Chris Rock wasn't the only person he slapped in public infront of cameras.
An apology has no justification behind it. There was no good reason for what he did.
The rest of us get slapped with a prison sentence for it.
It wasn't a horrific night, you partied like it was 1999
I mean, it’s never ok to make a joke about something that someone is struggling with. But what Will should’ve done instead of smacking Chris is like raised his hand, maybe walked up and take the mic and say that it wasn’t ok and say something like “I want to make that clear for anybody to know that you should never make a joke about a person if the person won’t laugh about it but instead feel hurt or angry about it. It’s disrespectful and I know you can do better than that man…” He would have earned so much respect if he did that instead, even get applauds and be honored by it. Like raise above 😕 I feel bad because Wills intentions were good but it came out wrong 😕
Chris Rock had no idea she had a condition (alopecia) or was "struggling" with anything - just figured, like most people, it was a styling choice.
sill.. a lot of jokes these days are insulting! @@JET7C0
That was uncalled for, I don't watch anything with him in it.
Apologies for financial gains.
That bottled trauma has nothing to do with Chris rock
How does this guy show his face in public and why would anyone support his work?
@drmanhattan5970kid you have to grow up, there's like millions with the same name...
only 10 years of ban?
It was the ENTER in BACK DOOR. Moment 😂
He ain’t sorry, he was laughing when he hit him and felt proud of hitting him. After the eye roll from Jada and before that he was laughing at the GI Jane joke poor Chris didn’t deserve that
No excuses!
If you admire broccoli, this segment is for you.
I'd forgotten about this months ago. Why is this still a story?
He has a new movie coming out in which he has personally invested millions of $. He’s afraid he will lose his $, because people will boycott his movie
9/11 is still a regular topic on UA-cam. Are you new here or something?
@@laternevercame imagine comparing 9/11 to will smith slapping chris rock
What does his past have to do with what he did? He wasn’t “rageful” at all! He laughed at the joke until he got the stare from his wife!
Will Smith's attempts to assert himself ended up having the opposite effect, making him appear foolish. Consequently, he is now striving to salvage his public image.
Will would have you arrested and would sue you for everything you own and future earnings if you slapped him. How can you defend him and not be foolish?
This is not an apology
Edit: was due to autocorrect
Obviously things were not ok with him. Why doesn't he just admit the real reason he had a mental breakdown on live tv?
What kind of man smacks another man? Men fist fight and square off first.
He was laughing at the joke.
Jada said something to make him do it
HE , SHE , FK, UP, NO EXCUSES
8 months later? Wtf?!
He said he'd never forgive will and thinks his apology is baloney and it's true mans just trying to defend his brand f
Chris rock didn't say that he just doesn't want anything to do with will anymore
How do you spell bologna wrong? There is literally a song that goes along with the word to help you remember.
Oscar Myer has a way with B O L O G N A. Come on now. This is inexcusable.
I honestly understand his pov. Go cry about it if you wanna disagree with me.
You committed a crime.
think he saying this because of the movie
The anchor really was passionate about delivering that information...🥴
Will Smith has always thought of himself "godlike"...he believed he could act
anyway he wanted.
Oh I see, so Will Smith is the victim! It explains everything! Let’s all give him a group hug and tell Chris Rock that he needs to apologize to Will Smith for triggering his demons
@PersonaBossMan: Definitely.
I think will should just move on. I don’t think it’ll ever be enough for some people. He doesn’t need to keep apologizing
if we did that that would be assult right???
A 10 year ban? So after 10 years then it's ok then? What a strange punishment then.
The Oscars are a big deal to these people, so it's a fitting punishment.
Way to make a victim out of urself n make excuses
What apology? I did not hear any apology, all I heard is his excuses and him wanting his new movie to do well.
I lost all respect for this man.
10 year ban is so laughable..... comedy central. Imagine the lowlight of his career being revisited by the media by going back after the tenth year. That brother will not be going back to those awards!!!!
Will Smith went from Hero (30 years) to Zero (30 seconds)
It's not his childhood...it's his wife
Excuses don't cut the mustard. We all have excuses but we don't go around hitting people.
I've lost all respect for Will Smith and I don't care to see any more of his movies. He can't explain this one away.
You have to think before you do something crazy. I’ve done some crazy stuff but not on national television. I love Will Smith and I won’t stop supporting him but I truly applaud Chris for taking the high road and laughing all the way to the bank. Now that’s how you do it! Don’t speak until they pay you $40 million! Geeez
Tell me why he was so mad when he laughed at the joke
Well, whatever you say, you’re already destroyed. LOL
Will smith had to do what he gotta do 😂
Yea, defend a cheating wife😪🤧
8 months later, talk about bad timing! Should have been done within the 1st month.
I recall watching the after party video where Will was looking very remorseful dancing with a big smile on his face.
The whole thing always stunk of set-up based solely on the drastically failing raitings of the previous year.
God I hope not. I would loose respect for them all.
Definitely not a set up. Chris Rock was stunned. And the way will snapped after... you couldn't write that or script that. That was pure raw emotion.
You're delusional if you think this was a conspiracy.
No way this was a conspiracy. It completely butchered Will Smiths legacy and Rock’s own dignity. Everybody lost, and the Oscars certainly didn’t win. There are PLENTY of other schemes they could have done to get Oscar’s hype back. Even the Oscars lost credibility and respect by how they mishandled it. If it was planned, then it couldn’t have gone any worse for anybody.
Even here instead of taking it like a man, facing accountability he starts saying all kinds of dumb stuff. Chris however that man took it shook it off and made a joke about it to ease everyone elses mood before even anyone heard the clap, huge respect thats professionalism and great character traits, i cant even imagine the adrenaline at that point after getting randomly hit and he still shook it off.
if he apologized when he gave his award speech i'd have more symphony for him but i would have stayed seated and said nothing cant image the amount of money he's losing
Nothing that comes out of Will Smith’s mouth at this point will make any difference to what people think.
He's a human. Move on.
@@fenixcustomsoftware So he's allowed to assault people because humans make mistakes? Seems logical.
@@laternevercame We all make mistakes. Are you perfect to judge others? Then, move on.
Some of you would of done the same thing if you was Will Smith. You wouldn't let somebody make fun or your spouse openly like that.
physical contact does not equal to words.
You should be thankful that you did not get arrested.
He keeps smiling during his apology
Will used to be one of my favorites! Keywords: USED to be!
Justifying his actions with excuses is one thing. But the fact that he was smiling the whole time speaks louder than his words. He's not sorry he did it. He's just upset with the fallout it caused. Everybody loved him for the longest time and held him on such a high pedestal (including me), but after that night and the way he's addressed it since, he's made it crystal clear that his ego is his top priority. "I was afraid of how my actions would impact the success of my movie." His actions had more of an impact on his career/reputation than any movie ever will. He can still come back from all of this and be forgiven, but first he needs to grow up.
Something’s weird about it all
Blame other ppl for the reason you slapped someone.
