And your question back at you about your husband. Take the verbal and physical shot or ignore it and move on?

90% of the time, two news channels.......sometimes three.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. What a shame.
There are good things in newspapers to read.
Like the funnies, at least!
Forget the "real" news. How about the ads, the classifieds, editorials, and even the obits???
And of course, there's always that stupid half-page in The Sun's LocalNews section about some nobody, which states . . . "You may know . . ."

And out of curiosity -- what news channels?

My husband treats me as he did his mother, if someone had insulted his sick mother? Hmmm… I asked him, do you think they could walk again?

I haven't watched this show in ages....and no desire to

The Slow-motion video's are interesting.
Chris hands behind him, leaning in.....waiting for the slap.
Nice Hollywood slap.
I say, fake news.

Nucky is a class act, unlike what you saw on TV.

Talk it up old buddy, I don’t mean old in a bad way.

The record would be squared away but not on camera. Dopey idiots the both of them. I really loved Denzel Washington coming to the rescue. What a great actor and person he is. All that good stuff skipped a couple of generations.

The slap... was it necessary? I don't know... was it chivalry or stupidity.. dont know.

I vote stupidly.

Comedians make rude and usually vulgar remarks, if they didn’t they would not be funny/comedians, nobody like the joke directed at them, most suck it up.

In any country, any husband would have done no less than Will. Even animals protect their families. And words DO matter. If we think of Putin, or Biden, the only things they use are words. You never see either one in the war zone.

So, you think cris didn’t get all the jokes approved before hand? I sure they don’t host go wild with what they want say on stage representing the academy.

Perhaps Will taught a lesson to all of them then. Why didn’t Chris make fun of his own wife? Not only did he make fun of another person’s wife but also an ill person’s sickness.

No, his hands were behind him when he told the joke, AND afterwards. It's what many do when they don't have a mic to hold...

He leaned in as if to say something to Smith as he approached him...

If it was fake, you have to ask "WHY?" Was it for ratings? Really? Well into the show, closer to the end than the beginning?

Was it for publicity? One of THE most famous actors and one of THE most famous comedians?

Exactly! His routine was approved...

Now, Ricky Gervais, at the Golden Globes, otoh...

Oh, please... Chris Rock has made fun of his own wife in his act for years...

Part of what comedians at the Oscars do is roast those in the front rows. The Smiths were front and center...

And while Alopecia is indeed an illness, let's not put it on a par with cancer...

No, it was not in his routine at rehearsal, it was not on his teleprompter- Honolulu Star Advertiser.

I am sorry for Chris’ wife, what a sick sense of humor…. But Will apologized for his violent reaction. Now HE is a class act, in my opinion.
