OT: Movies/TV Shows

I love me some Chris Rock, but after a quick Googley search, Jada has been honest and emotional about this for a few years publicly now it seems. I mean, make the joke Chris, you're a comic. But there is always a risk of an angry husband slapping the shit out of you.

Can't see Chris Rock pressing charges for getting slapped.

Why would he need to? California does not require it?

Pretty shit joke after hearing about her condition.

 

[Habspatrol]

It can't be that GI Jane joke? Can it? It was harmless.

Jada has alopecia... so he probably took extra offence.

So we are justifying assault because of a harsh joke?

[Habspatrol]

Any chance that Chris just didn't know about the alopecia?

Pretty sure the joke was more painful than the slap.

Kinda. I mean it's not advisable or right to slap someone... but when it comes to standing up for your wife, that shit can go out the window. I'm not saying I'm right or that I should, but insult my wife or make her feel shitty and I can't promise that I won't overreact.

Who cares. I get if it’s in a bar and some guy is running their mouth about your girl but that is live on television. No way that is acceptable.

Feels like uncle Phil should be stepping in for a teachable moment.

Will Smith left some Fresh Prints on Chris Rock. C'mon headline writers!

Live television doesnt give you a free pass to run your mouth.

HE WON BEST ACTOR

Hence the "overreact."

Depends on what you mean by justifying.

Morally? 100%.

Legally, nah. He laid hands on a person. Doubt will gives a fuck if this earns him a court case though
