I assume you’ve all heard about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock for making a joke about his wife. <\/p>\n
My understanding is that Jada Pinkett Smith has been struggling with hair loss, so she shaved her head. Chris Rock made a joke at the Oscars, saying she was ready to play in G.I. Jane 2. Will Smith laughed at the joke, but then saw his wife’s reaction, went up on stage and slapped Chris Rock, then went back to his seat and rudely told Rock not to talk about his wife. <\/p>\n
On the positive side, I have to say I approve of a man standing up for his wife, and I’m glad Chris Rock is not pressing charges. If you’re going to be a comedian, you have to be ready to get punched or slapped from time to time. You are, after all, playing it right up close to the edge. That’s what comedians do. <\/p>\n
On the negative side, if you’re going to be in the public eye, you have to expect a little ribbing. It goes with the territory. Although it’s hard for a man to sit idly by while his wife is the brunt of the joke. <\/p>\n
Overall, I think our culture doesn’t have enough punches and slaps. That is 100 times more healthy than cancel culture, safe spaces, etc. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
