(578 posts)90's watching both of them as a kid and teenager. If you had told my younger self that one day these two iconic figures in their fields would throw hands, I wouldn't believe it. To me it is still surreal.
Both men were in the wrong with their actions. Chris for cracking jokes on Jada's baldness when it comes to illness. Will was wrong for slapping Chris because he committed assault. I have been in many situations where I wanted to slap the shit out of guys, I didn't like but I kept my cool and handled the situation without throwing hands.
Will ultimately was the biggest loser from this fiasco. Chris' joke wasn't funny, and he would have probably had a high chance of getting cancelled since Jada has an illness he was basically making fun of. If Will didn't hit him then we are talking about how much of cruel ass hole Chris was for that jokes. Will bailed him out by hitting him and now Chris comes across as the victim. Will also ruined his moment of winning an Oscar because it will always be overshadowed by what he did to Chris.
