ABC Is Open To Having Chris Rock Host The Oscars Next Year
First time Oscar-winner Will Smith is currently be prohibited from stepping anywhere near the Academy Awards until 2033, and that’s because the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences decided that a public slap across the face was one step too far when it comes to their standards of audience behavior. But the Oscars’ relationship with Will’s slap-receiver, Chris Rock, is moving in an entirely different direction. For the past couple of years, the Academy has struggled to nail down a host for the show, and even this year it felt like a scramble to put someone in front of the mic (eventually they settled on Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes, and Regina Hall). But if ABC’s President of Entertainment is telling the truth, then it sounds like ABC is pretty close to skipping all the host-finding panic of years past, and just giving the whole thing to Chris Rock next year.
Will Smith Has Reportedly Been In Therapy Since He Slapped Chris Rock At The Oscars
Contrary to what Jada Pinkett-Smith believes while making guests ugly cry during her invasive episodes of Red Table Talk, she is not now, nor has she ever been, a therapist. And all of her sessions should have been monitored by a REAL therapist who could have pulled her to the side during her episode with her husband Will Smith and said “Honey your husband is about to snap!!” In which he did. No need to go over what happened because everyone already knows. But honestly, after his apology tour, Will was smart enough to lay low and hope that things would die down, but that’s not happening. At one point he was spotted in India allegedly looking for healing. Other than that sighting he’s been very quiet, and one of the reasons could be because it’s now being reported that Will is in therapy to deal with his actions.
Chris Rock Has Reportedly Started Wearing Headphones So He Can Avoid Hearing People Ask About Getting Slapped At The Oscars
Are you sick of talking about The Slap yet? Chris Rock sure is. It’s been exactly one month since Will Smith decided to defend his wife’s honor by stepping on stage at the 2022 Academy Awards and guaranteeing himself a decade-long ban from the Oscars by slapping Chris Rock in the face after Chris made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s bald head. Everyone continues to weigh in on the situation with their thoughts, including Chris Rock’s own mother (naturally, she’s Team Chris). And since Chris can’t avoid the conversation that just won’t die, he has allegedly decided the best plan of action is to drown it all out by wearing headphones whenever he goes out in public. I guess buying a megaphone and screaming, “Will you shut the fuck up about the slap, PLEASE” every time he leaves his house felt like overkill.
Chris Rock’s Mom Has Something To Say About Will Smith’s Oscar Slap
There was a time when it felt like everyone and their mother was chiming in with their thoughts on Will Smith slapping Chris Rock in the face during the presentation of the award for Best Feature Documentary at last month’s Academy Awards. And well, now we finally have Chris Rock’s actual mother with her thoughts on the matter. The slapee’s mom has joined the never-ending discourse, and do I even need to tell you that she’s Team Chris? Although I guess the show Everybody Hates Chris would have made exponentially more sense had his own mother come out and been like, “Good for Will, I would have slapped him too.” But of course, that’s not what happened.
Jada Pinkett Smith Sort Of Touches Upon Will Smith’s Oscars Slap On “Red Table Talk”
Of course, we’re still talking about the slap heard around the world that echoed off the walls of the Oscars when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock live on television. Since then, Will has been banned from going to all Academy events for ten years. The fifth season of Jada Pinkett Smith’s Facebook talk show, Red Table Talk, premiere this week, and when the trailer was released, there were zero signs of the Oscars slap, which slapped many with a load of SHOCK because people were expecting the Smiths to milk the shit out of this mess. But don’t worry! Jada has come through, sort of.
The Trailer For The Fifth Season Of “Red Table Talk” Is Here, But There’s No Mention Of The Oscars Slap
Not too long after Will Smith’s right palm made contact against Chris Rock’s face at the 2022 Oscars, I found myself eagerly anticipating how Jada Pinkett Smith’s Red Table Talk would break down that moment by every perceivable angle, discourse, discussion, and serious-eyed “Are you kidding me?” stare (possibly Adrienne Banfield Norris’ most enjoyable contribution to the show). But anyone who was waiting to see how The Slap would be covered on Red Table Talk is likely going to have to wait a while longer. Because the trailer for the fifth season has just dropped, and there’s not an open palm nor G.I. Jane reference nor remorsefully teary-eyed Will Smith to be found.
