    There was no attempt of subtlety. It was a bawdy joke.

    Lighten up.

    But....but....but... have you proof ??


    But, rumours say she is well able for 'Big Willy Style' , and that their 'open' marriage was her doing?

    I wonder was Chris Rock taming her at any stage ?

    Do they really have an open marriage? I’ve always been attracted to pocs, she is a good looking lady and I hate to think of that clown cheating his way about the town, repulsive character very showy and overconfident

    I’ll admit it did cross my mind is the presenter riding that, or did he ride that in the past, but then probably he wouldn’t make the bald joke if they had been intimate in the past

    Chris Rock's prior joke about JPS from the 2016 Oscars for her boycott on diversity was better

    “Jada said she’s not coming, protest. I was like, ‘Isn’t she on a TV show?’ Jada’s going to boycott the Oscars? Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I wasn’t invited!” he said, prompting laughs from the audience.

    Part of the joke that he did the other day also referenced her lack of film career

    Moving from Movie Star couple Javier and Penelope, both with nominations, to the Smith's, Jada was the odd one out without a nomination so hence the double jab on GI Jane 2 as a possible movie role

    Not sure why you're going after random people, but I didn't say that and Markus is a conspiracy theorist, feel free to re-quote and call out your understanding of the sentence and I can correct you on where your misunderstanding is coming from.

    Do you think it was staged?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,204 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Jada has acted in films, P Diddy, Kelly Slater, Tony Hawks and the snow boarder dude at the Oscars, why?

    BTW I'm not having a go just saying ok



  • Posts: 18,962 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Relative to her husband, Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz she's not really a movie star is she?

    I think that we can agree on that.

    And going to the Oscars in the context of the prior joke was she was not up for any award.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 455 ✭✭KieferFan69


    I’ve just read that jada is banging her son’s friends. I think if the presenter had better humour he would make the gag about this??

    I don't like Smith's statements that "violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive" and "no place for violence in a world of love and kindness". That's going too far the other way surely. What about all the action heroes he's played that have used violence, was that all "poisonous and destructive"? What about when an official authority like the police or army use violence or what about when someone is performing a citizen's arrest or it's a sort of gray area between it all? Maybe even a gentlemanly strike to the face of someone who's been extremely offensive? It's not like it was some knock-out punch.

    Smith is commenting on all those situations here, not just his own. I think he was ok before - now he's put his foot in it by bringing all other situations into it. Now he just comes off as a hypocrite if you ask me.

    Jada Pinkett Smith Declared ‘I Don’t Give Two Craps What People Feel About This Bald Head of Mine’ Before Oscars

    Jada Pinkett Smith doesn’t care what anyone has to say about her head.


    In a video posted to her TikTok account a few days before the Oscars, Pinkett Smith talked about her “hair regrets,” especially when having to shoot a magazine cover. She also addressed how she feels about people who may or may not have an opinion about “this bald head of mine.”


    “Being a Black woman and dealing with hair in Hollywood, especially in the era that I came up in, having your hair look as European as possible was always the thing,” she says in the video. “That was really challenging you know because I liked my hair out wild and curly. but nobody wanted that. so I always had to do my hairs in ways that didn’t feel natural to me because of trying to play the game. So if I’m doing a cover, everybody’s all, no we want your hair straight and flow. It’s like alright, cool, but that’s not really what my hair likes to do. So I had to learn to get the courage to go, nah I’m not doing it, which is why I feel the freedom today, I don’t give two craps what people feel about this bald head of mine. Cuz guess what? I love it.”..........

    I think that she is more pissed off about not having much of a film career and being referred to in that context.

    Yes she was in "The Matrix Resurrections" but then again that was utter shite

    Her biggest roles in the last 10 years outside that have been recurring voiceovers in the Madagascar cartoon-movie series

    Jim Carrey if he had been slapped.

    I would have announced this morning that I would be suing Will for $200m

    I think Mr Smith wants us all to......

    Good point. That’s what really stung Jada. Cruz/Bardem are a true Hollywood power couple, with equal billing. Getting cast for a remake of GIJane - a movie which marked the beginning of Demi Moore’s very rapid decline- was an insult which rubbed Jada’s nose in her “career”. Will didn’t get it at first but one look at Jada’s face and he had to do something or he was going to spend a month in the doghouse (a luxurious, pampered doghouse larger than most apartments but a doghouse nonetheless!)

    Notice what those trying to mitigate Will’s offence are saying. In the past, such people would have said “That’s what you get when you insult a man’s wife”. Now it’s “Don’t insult a woman/ a woman of colour/ a woman with a disability”. Chris Rock didn’t insult her, he only make a mild joke at her expense, along with jokes about half the audience, but for some people that is not allowed nowadays.

    I think Chris Rock handled himself very well in a shocking situation. But here’s a thought. If he had reflexively punched back and floored Will Smith, as he would be entitled to do in self defence, he would have achieved a level of fame that would exceed all of last night’s Oscar winners combined.

    I think the Italian for Will Smith is Eugene Pontecorvo.

    When Frances McDormand was making her acceptance speech in 2018 having just won Best Actress, she demanded the room stand to recognise and celebrate all of the women in film. Invoking the disgusting hypocrite, Meryl Streep to lead the way. “Come on Meryl, if you do it, they all will”.

    The very same Meryl Streep who led the way at the Academy Awards when they gave a standing ovation to a convicted and confessed child rapist, Roman Polanski.

    Hollywood is a cesspit of the very worst of human kind. Weinstein was only exposed and disposed of in the end because his usefulness to others had reached its end.

    They lecture us on climate change yet whizz around in private jets. The preach about BLM from within their privately secure gated communities.

    You'd nearly excuse what awful people they are if the films they make nowadays weren’t dull, preachy drivel.

    Scum.

    There was also a long running plot about a joke made about someone’s wife

    what I do find odd, is that people who often cite toxic masculinity as one of the major problems in the world are mostly the same people defending Will Smith.

    The dickhead couldn't control himself and made himself look like a **** lunatic.

    I am actually glad he did that. If he had done nothing but then verbally torn Chris Rock to shreds in his acceptance speech for an unwarranted and unnecessary insult and called that the world to be a kinder place, he would have been untouchable and it would have been the best night of his career.

    Now we can all see he is a henpecked prick.

    Damn she is a fine woman, what I would do to her, to be her everyman. I can’t believe she is with that Pratt



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 455 ✭✭KieferFan69


    You have it in one my friend . They are vile most of them and they live in a dark and poison-making world, lots of preyi g on children, blood money and that’s before you get to the occult



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,673 ✭✭✭Man Vs ManUre


    Jada had a prominent role in Gotham the tv series. Can’t remember her being in anything else really.

    you’d wonder has Chris R “tapped that” as the vernacular has it, and big Willy style knows well that he is taking the proverbial
