Will Smith slaps Chris Rock at Oscars

[Andrew NDB]

King Richard won Smith the Oscar... but it lost money at the box office. When was the last time Will Smith was a big star? Suicide Squad? lol...

Jada? Apart from an unrecognizable part in Matrix 4 (which lost a LOT of money), what has she had going on? Fish Mooney or whatever, from Gotham?

Guess what everyone is doing now? Talking about both of them, often praising Smith for being a valiant husband and feeling pity for her and her medical condition. And while it's a little messy that everyone brings up their weird open marriage stuff into the same equation, it wasn't like they were trying to hide it before this either.

And Rock? Again, doesn't gaf. He would easily take a smack for a bit of publicity. It wasn't like "Spiral" made a big splash or anything, and his standups haven't been "must see" for ages. Now everyone is anxious to see what he's going to say next.

And the Oscars. A pit of despair and woke speeches for years that everyone largely gave up on until this went down. Now millions of people are calling it must see TV again.

And Smith and Rock have been friends for ages. My gut is still that they're all laughing over drinks at the Smith mansion and looking at the memes.
