Wait, Prince slapped The Rock?

I have questions. Deep questions.

random tangent

apparently prince was a pretty damn good basketball player and would have some pretty high level pick up games at his mansion late at night with some decently big name players.

he also used to play occasionally in these games......while wearing heels....wtf....

My own thoughts are how it's hilarious to see some people bitch and moan about PC culture taking over comedy but then think Will Smith was right for doing the manly thing and hitting someone that made a joke at his wife's expense.

i think he was right in standing up for his wife, just not not in the way that he did it

That's fair. Thing is, even if Chris Rock didn't know about her diagnosis, Smith could have easily made Rock the asshole in the whole ordeal. Instead, he exposed himself. Twice including the speech.

The whole showing love through violence take is the same logic that domestic abusers like to use.

completely agree

if he were a bigger/better man, he woulda just grabbed the mic and made a statement about loving his wife and supporting her through these times…wouldn’t have even had to mention rock or the joke directly

Which is basically Kareem’s point.

Then, go have a chat with Mr Rock in private. Explain that the joke was in very poor taste and personally hurtful.

We would shake hands, bro hug, and have a drink.

Probably what Will should have done....but Will is crazy. Getting into that weird Tom Cruise territory where it's like they've become their own weird personal mix of characters/personalities.
