Yeah Truth you are right the court of public opinion is all over this. But Will is a multi millionaire and plus he owns his production company. He could make movies just with his company or leave show business and not be hurt. I am just saying if nothing legal happens the public will forget about this. They already stopped talking about Kanye West and his craziness.

OPINION: What Will Smith did was not chivalrous or honorable. As a Black woman, I want the kind of protection that lifts us, encourages us and nourishes our souls.

We, as Black people, are so used to violence and trauma that many of us normalize it. The past 24 hours since the Oscar flap with Will Smith physically smacking Chris Rock then verbally assaulting him with the “F” bomb have been triggering and upsetting for victims of domestic and familial violence.     

I am one of those people. […] – The Grio

I hear you BD and you know how I respect your opinion.

But I have to respectfully disagree with you my friend. I don’t think it’s over. I think Will is going to have to deal with the consequences of his actions. Not criminally. But in the court of public opinion, to some degree.

And I most definitely think the Academy will have more to say about it. We’ll see.

A whole lot of people had a lot to say about this today. I saw everything I could online and this is all they talked about at work. Will messed up we all now that. But one of the partners at the law firm I work at made a lot of sense. He said Will should not have done what he did but nothing is going to come of it. Chris Rock did not press charges so the case is over. The police and the DA are not going to touch it. So all the commentary and people getting emotional about this all day is a waste. It was a mistake but it is over with.

Behind the scenes at the Oscars, there were serious discussions about removing Smith from the theater, according to two industry officials with knowledge of the situation who were granted anonymity to describe internal deliberations. […]

I’d really be surprised if they take his Oscar! However, I did share with my sibs and my partner that I would NOT at all be surprised if Will is banned form attending the Oscars for at least next year, if not beyond.

We shall see.
