| It’s PR for his upcoming movie, Emancipation. |
Indeed! He has all the money in the world. He should have apologized immediately + hired the best PR firm to help him. |
Bingo. |
| I like that he apologized to Questlove too. |
He's been busy negotiating his new movie role and income from it. |
Yup. What he did was unforgivable and this self-serving apology doesn’t change that. He needs to face consequences for his assault. It was shocking. |
| Y'all need to chill out, and Chris Rock needs to man up. It was just a slap. |
Just a slap? Is that kind of behavior acceptable in your world? |
| Why is he putting this video public instead of sending it directly to Chris Rock. The rest of us don't need to be a part of it. Hes just attention seeking. |
He did “man up”. He took it and went on with his job instead of getting in a brawl with Will in front of a nationwide audience. |
+ 1 million |
+2 Yep, way to make headlines again. Re-stir the interest. Get people talking. Classic Hollywood PR 101. |
He has a big movie coming up which he stars in and directed. Will needs the public to feel better about him so they will watch it. He wants this incident behind him and is hoping Chris will cooperate by accepting this obviously PR-crafted mea culpa. |
He should have apologized on stage before accepting his Oscar. That’s the very least expected from a man of his stature receiving the greatest honor in his industry. Now he comes out with the apology and remorse he should have shown four months ago and we are supposed to be impressed? Please. |
It's preferable to other behaviors that haven't ended entertaimers' careers. |
