hit that sub button!

“There can be a hundred people in the room, and 99 won’t slap you, but one WILL”

The privilege of being a famous rich actor, you can get away assaulting another person in front of the whole world, get away with it, and still be even allowed to win an oscar

It’s absolutely insane that Will Smith can hit someone at an awards show, sit back down, then win an award and get a standing ovation

the audience gave a standing ovation because they had not yet been told what to think about what happened

Will smith went from "laughing at the joke" to "slapping Chris" to "crying during the speech". A well deserved Oscar for these mood swings.

Will Smith: “I must bring love to the world.” Chris Rock’s Face: “I can tell.”

Really my respect goes to Chris Rock, he took that like a man and still went on professionally

I lost all respect for Will. There was absolutely no need for hitting Chris. Shame on him.

Will Smith has single-handedly made Chris Rock's next stand-up tour the the most successful Comedy Tour in history

Chris Rock going to make an entire stand up special out of this... and make millions off one slap

Will Smith deserves another Oscar for this acting right here. 😂😂😂 Also Did he just say that he was sent to Earth by God to love people after that slap. 😂😂😂.

When your acceptance speech requires greater acting than the performance you have won for.

What we learned is that will can’t take a joke but Chris can take a punch ..

Chris took that smack like it was nothing, and still had the balls to stay on the stage and move on to laughing it off. bravo Chris.

Notice how the seriousness of his bad behavior is sinking into Smiths addled mind. He tries to pull Richard Williams, Denzel Washington and finally God in to his camp. Such a playground move. “The road to sustained happiness is through disciplining your behavior.” Will Smith motivational recording.

That was the dumbest bs I ever have seen in my life. Begged, pleaded and even boycotted to get an Oscar and then acted a fool on the day that you get it. This man literally violated Chris Rock on national tv and nothing happened to him. Wow!

Denzel Washington's face: priceless. He was like: this kid didn't understand a word of what I told him a little while ago.

I feel like what happened with him earlier in the night will end up being more memorable than his Oscar win.

The amount of people I see who validate will's violence by calling Chris rock a "bully" whilst not even trying to prove any sort of power imbalance between them and not even trying to prove how Will was powerless or significantly less powerful in the situation to fight back verbally or even physically, is surprisingly significant. They immediately make the assumption that any insult or joke is bullying without any given context. They don't have the intelligence to question their own definitions of words or their own logic. It's saddening to see someone who physically assaulted another person over a joke about them waiting for jada to portray a strong female character, be paraded as a champion who "stood up to his bully".

“Denzel said to me ‘at your highest moment, be careful, that’s when the devil comes for you’ “ *Denzel chewing, trying to stay poker faced* “I’m glad to have someone like Denzel to support me” *Chewing intensifies* “To be with me and to agree with me, whatever I do” *Chewing ferociously* “Yes, Denzel Washington, ladies and gentlemen, that man right there, now choking on his chewing gum. Thank you, my closest friend and shield in all this craziness”

This speech was some of his best acting yet. Definitely the best chin of the year award goes to Chris Rock 👏

God. He assaults a person, gets an ovation minutes later and talks about how noble and amazing he is. I'm speechless...

Honestly, that speech was very well made and inspirational but . . . It feels premanufactured, as if it was always something he rehearsed and already memorized in case he needed it for "worst case scenarios". And really Will Smith who can cry on cue, have delivered the best performances in Hollywood, there's really no telling anymore if the tears, emotions and words are genuine or all just an act. His words say one thing, but his actions, the way he treats extras and "lower" celebs, it says differently.

"In this business you have to deal with people disrespecting you... and you have to pretend it's ok." Hits hard -Chris Rock

Hearing Will say “I’m called to love” after the incident is like hearing me say “safety first, always”

A lot of respect for Denzel for being able to keep his sanity in Hollywood after all these years

Imagina se todo mundo que se sentir ofendido levantar e dar um tapa na cara do sujeito? Não podemos ser esse tipo de exemplo. Erramos…Will Smith é grande e amado pelo mundo todo.Isso vai fica marcado pra sempre .

Let's be real, Will didn't deserved the Oscar, the Academy just owed him that for a long time, just like DiCaprio, and he winning the Oscar feels like nothing after the slap he gave to Chris, how embarrasing lol

And just like that, Will Smith was headed back to his auntie and uncle's house in Bel-Air.

That's why Chris Rock is who he is, the ultimate on stage performer. Took that hit and laughed it off

Love Chris more than ever now - Go Chris - you ROCK!!!

Shame on this Guy and the academy for letting him speak. Self-serving, entitled, shameless for doing what he did!

“My wife is in an open relationship, but its not open for jokes.” - Probably Will Smith.

"Becareful at your highest moment is when the devil comes for you". Wise words Denzel

Denzel was like "keep my name out of your fckng mouth!"

Will’s tears and shaky voice comes because he knows in his moment - he knows he doesn’t match what’s in his own speech. He knew he messed up and is why he stepped down from the awards and went to rehab. That’s too many tears for someone who won. Idk what’s going on with him in his head or at home but that line about taking abuse and smile like it’s ok, seems to touch a deeper part of him. I hope he finds a way through it- whatever’s he’s going through. He’s too good a man and actor to fall like this.

Will Smith really took "Everybody Hates Chris" to heart.

Good for him his wife and her boyfriend will be super proud.

I didn't think he should've won. Not because of his performance (which was really good) but rather because of the slap incident.

He takes the award for best simp Hall of Fame. His name should be ´´ Will Simp Simpson´´. He graduated from ´´ Pinkett University of Simpiology´´. He graduated in August and dropped a major hit called ´´ You All Seen Nah´´.

Chris Rock is solid af, he took that like a true champ. The big dude slapped him in front of the whole world, and still he was the one crying in the end.

Everybody was saying Kayne crazy but Will took it to another level

Great respect for Chris Rock, every time i see Will Smith, i will remember that Chris Rock is true selebrity, in every way and every time. Period.

"without Wisdom you can't feel the Victory"

The fact that everyone in that room just witnessed a man assault another, get the opportunity to make a speech, and then they give him a standing ovation is absolutely nuts. Hollywood is on an entirely different level of crazy...

Chris Rock took that punch better than Will Smith can take a punchline.

He really isn't ok is he? Like there is something inside him so broken

Best acting at stage as well😂

Chris Rock handled the situation so well. I’m so proud of him.

"At your highest moment be careful because that's when the devil comes for you." Yeah, I think you failed that test my guy.

Listen to the audience’s sound after he says ‘fierce defender of his family’ at 0:14 and after the inevitable mindless woops. It lasts about 4 seconds and I would guess is a mixture of shock and disapproval, given that he’s justifying his own violence that they just witnessed. I would love to know what each voice was saying in that moment

Denzel is looking at him like "don't drag me into this shit son"

"At your highest moment, be careful, that's when the devil comes for you" It definitely did

"To do what we do, you have to be able to take abuse..." Chris Rock: "Yeah, I'll say!"

"Violence never brings peace" - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love... Our aim must never be to defeat or humiliate the white man but to win his friendship and understanding. The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy, instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence, you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence, you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Take care and God bless

“I was put on this earth to slap Chris Rock in the face on national television” - Will Smith, 2022.

If it wasn’t for the slap I never would have known about the Oscars.

“It’s a Hollywoo” - Bojack Horseman.

The amount of self-control required to attend these kinds of events without cringing to the absolute max at the sheer pretentiousness and self-importance must be through the roof

Chris Rock should've said: "that was quite an entanglement, I'm gonna feel that slap until August" 😂

What could've been one of the greatest moments of his life he let his anger overshadow it. Tragic. Also props to Chris for handling it with grace.

Richard williams was a fierce defender of his family-Will Smith

Danzel is such a charismatic person ❤

We have to admire Chris Rock for how he handled this.👏👏👏

Denzel was referring to his behavior with Chris Rock when he told Will, "At your highest moment, be careful, that's when the Devil comes for you" Will didn't pass the test.

He choked up hard. You can tell he realizes how much he f'd up. Lol

Richard Williams was a fierce defender of his family

It’s so sweet to watch Hollywood fall apart on Live television

"He who angers you, conquers you" - Elizabeth Kenny

"🇫ierce de🇫ender o🇫 his 🇫amily" For some reason that part made me laugh because of the emphasis put on the F's

The memes are growing enormously thanks to him

"Everybody will forget a bad joke. Nobody will forget a bad attitude" - Arsenio Hall

"it takes 20 years to build a reputation and only 5 minutes to ruin it". - Warren Buffet

"At your highest moment, be careful" Yup, he should have listened

People we are all human and we all make mistakes. Will shouldn’t have did what he did but at the end of the day people need to watch what comes out their mouths as well. Will Smith is still one of my favorite actors. Not disowning him off of one incident smh

I’m definitely gonna buy tickets for whatever Chris rock stand up is up after this 🤣

Let's be honest. Without that slap we wouldn't hav known about Will Smith Oscar win till 2mrow. A well deserved win I might add

Bruh Denzel’s face lmfao

Whatever happened to keeping the speeches to 30 seconds?

This whole acceptance speech is filled with punchlines I can’t wait for Chris rocks next stand up special

“At your highest moment, be careful, that’s when the devil comes for you” Denzel couldn’t have timed that any better lol.

He wasn't "defending" his wife when he was LAUGHING at first. The whole speech was him basically justifying his actions and never once admitted his fault or apologized to Rock. A professional is a person who can admit fault, clearly he can't nor can he see how high his privilege is.

He just won best actor and have to wonder Is this from the heart

Chris Rock Took That Smack So Well. He Deserves A Oscar For That.👍🏽💯

Chris should’ve won the Oscar for keeping his composure

truly an ACTOR 😁😁😁😁😁

That reference to what Denzel said was so ironic in the hindsight of that slap debacle. That was Will's highest moment and he crashed and burned right after (well at least for the moment)

Now this is a story all about how Will’s life got flipped-turned upside down

Actions speak louder than words.

I deserve a lot in this community 😍, but I am falling and losing😭

this reminds me of zizou ( Zinedine Zidane) he let his anger overshadow him

Chris Rock handled the attack with great professionalism. He did his best to save the night. Gotta give him kudos for that!

The G.I. Jane joke would’ve been completely forgotten about within 5 minutes of being said, but Will Smith made it momorable forever.

Things happen. We all make mistakes. Nobody’s perfect. Will Smith took accountability and is trying to improve himself. Salute to that. Also salute to Chris Rock for staying professional & not reacting to getting slapped. Sad to see this incident unfold live at a Academy Awards show like that but it is what it is. Hopefully Chris Rock & Will Smith can one day, put this incident behind them and forgive each other.

He got a standing ovation. Celebrities have lost touch with reality after all.

My god, the irony behind the speech after what he just did.

Who remembers the episode of King of Queens where roasting his boss goes wrong for Doug? Same thing happened here basically, only with far worse consequences...

Give it up for Chris da rock jaw and how he rolled with the punches!!!✌🏽

My guy went from having the Will to act normal to the joke then just literally slap Chris right after, then crying like he's the victim moment later. What an actor.
