I don't like that he attacked Meghan Markle out of nowhere. She didn't do anything to him. Also, the abortion jokes were not funny. I do not care what other people do ... but whether they have an abortion or not, it is their business ... not a comedian's. I used to think Rock was really funny. Now, he just seems old and angry. (And, I'm old...67 ...but not so angry)

Id love to hear his ex wife clap back.

I would not have said his set was misogynistic. But I started wondering if I am so used to misogyny that I don't recognize it anymore...

Questioning whether what he said about Jada would be received the same way if Jada was white is worth considering. What would I think if he spoke that way of a famous white woman? Taylor Swift, Nicole Kidman, etc.

Also, he said he wanted to F-- Doja Cat. I found that creepy. He's an old man.

At the end, he seemed full of real rage. He listed so many people and said they called Will a B---. Chris messed his lines up and said "Emancipation" instead of for "Concussion" is pretty lame. Is it true she wasn't even invited to the Oscars that year yet said she was boycotting?? She shouldn't be telling people how to run their careers. She should mind her own business.

Chris also has a point about how most cheaters don't interview the person they cheated on...Jada interviewed Will on her show. Pretty gross of her.

What he said about his daughter was shocking. I like that he reassured us she is okay now, but I think it's messed up that he said his ex and daughter wouldn't know about what he did until they watched the Netflix special. I can't imagine being his kid and reading in the papers that my dad had me kicked out of school. OTOH, I don't disagree that his daughter was spoiled and needed to learn a lesson. I'm conflicted about that one!

He took responsibility for spoiling his kids yet then told the story about how his child was spoiled so he got her kicked out of school...and then talked about how she's in Paris (spoiled yet again) to study cooking. He seems conflicted himself with having so much money.

Also, cry me a river that he had to split $$ with his wife. That's what you get, you insecure cheater.

Dummy, you’re on a thread about a comedy special that premiered fewer than 48 hours ago. Go hit up an Ozempic thread, do something useful for yourself.

More woman hating incel love here. We all know you and could tell you things about yourself...

Wrong on all counts. I wish you luck as you try (and fail) to find a partner and develop your life. Fantasizing about closeted dudes who attack third-parties out of an ill-conceived attachment to a cheating, mean-spirited partner is not the look. But you can cling to it like a blanket, Linus-style, for lack of something real.

You're an ass. I don't support Will or his wife. They are all horrible people. I won't let you like and make CR out to be some wonderful person because he got slapped. The person upthread who referred to him as "beloved" clearly has brain damage. He hates women. He doesn't support a woman's right to choose despite his words. He is obsessed with Jada. This is all sick.

Rock made fun of a silly couple. The end. You are a sad, overly invested little fool. No one is canonizing Chris Rock! The paperwork is not being sent to the Vatican, I promise. That said, seriously, stop being a pile of dogsh!t - quit tacitly defending assault by a smacked ass cuckold and his utterly self-serious philandering wife. I mean, I loved Girls Trip but the reaction and rationalizations are g.d. ridiculous.

The. End.

+1. Who are all these people asking Rock to be the bigger person. Why should he be? So he can look like a loser who gets hit and then doesn’t even have the nerve to hit back in his own way? Will and Jada put their drama out there. I have no idea why Will feels like he needs to put up with all this, but he does. He should have left her ages ago and could be happy with someone who treats him well.

I am certain that if you casually met Will and Chris, Will would likely be warm and nice. Chris would be the sarcastic negative person he is. But that’s not what this is about.

Black folks who complain about white-on-black violence but condone black-on-black violence when it suits them are a special sort. #SHAME

I think seeing a certain segment condone the slap, and that has been consistent, is damaging and disgusting.

Thought it was funny that no one remembered who Robert Kardashian was, based on the audience non reaction and Chris explaining it.

Anonymous wrote:Chris Rock is a misogynistic ahole, who once again is commenting on a relationship that has nothing to do with him. He has a history of comedic stalking and Jada is perpetually his victim of choice, hence the slap. I don’t condone violence, but for some reason he just can’t let her go. Perhaps she rejected him at some point when they crossed paths. Who knows, but his treatment of women is pitiful. He and DCUM continue to make this about Jada, when really it is about two men that couldn’t control their worse impulses and behaved poorly in public. Call it comedy if you want but repeatedly referring to a woman you attempted to humiliate at the Oscars a B during your Netflix special is not worthy of praise. I hope is ex wife got half of his fee.

FTR, he was calling Will a B…which is essentially the most derogatory term a black person can hurl at a black man.

Rock’s own marriage ended due to his porn addiction and cheating. His ex did get half, and he’s still bitter.

Eddie Murphy told him that was gonna happen. Should've listened.

Why don't these geniuses get pre nups, and
After 18 years and him cheating his ex DESERVED half.

The two of them could have shown a good example about how unimportant it is to be "dissed" in public. So yes, someone dissed you, you reacted in a hostile violent way, and then you turn the other cheek, just like Jesus taught.

It was titled selective outrage

Considering the problem teen boys have with violence and being "dissed" and carrying on vendettas, these two men could have really set an example of how to forgive and forget, let bygones be bygones.

Yes I agree.

Will did try but Rock was not willing to be the bigger person.

\
I think it was big of him not to react AT ALL to being slapped on camera at the Oscars. That takes some serious balls.

Yeah he thinks it was big of himself as well - he likened himself to stoic pro boxer … (more likely a sign of being slow witted in the moment and/ or stunned mullet syndrome)

But his rationale one year later was one of his funny jokes - my parents raised me not to fight in front of white people …

Because when you're raised by decent people, your first instinct ISN'T to fight.

Because white people will get you killed. For nothing. Or next-to.

He has been very angry about him making a fortune from comedy and her getting half (or whatever) of it just from being married to him, raising the kids etc. He has joked about this, and I can see this attitude carrying over to other women in his comedy.

Yeah well he has made sexual assault jokes and judgy abortion jokes that make light of reasons why women may need abortions …

You are making this country afraid to open it’s mouth. I’m a white democrat liberal but there isn’t a damn thing a comedian can say on stage that will offend me.

+1

I didn't think it was that funny. I laughed when he said his ex is as rich as he is, "and she aint even funny!". But otherwise agree with PP, the Lola thing was funny and the end was good. Otherwise I felt like I was waiting for it to start.

"I don't need another angry rapper" is funny.

Also agree with him, "don't fight in front of white people" is (sadly) probably good advice.

One final thought, imagine if Billy Crystal slapped Robin Williams (or vice versa) years ago because one joked about the other's wife's hair. Would people really side with the slappER and not the slapped.

He is also a hypocrite since he has selective outrage and targets fellow POC ( his targets mostly black folks) while playing the race card for himself.

He continues to be a jerk to Jada … Will can’t defend her or their marriage …

Now a Jerk to Meghan and misrepresenting the racism she experienced. Meghan said herself never experienced racism prior to dating Harry and passed for Mediterranean or whatever before. It was her mother who warned her the hate was race based.

Self indulgent - don’t believe that slap hurt as much as he makes out … it was a slap not a punch Chris.

Playing victim card that he tried to be nice to Will after that interview about infidelity when Chris has history of talking badly about Jada. Chris acting like Will did not apologize when he did - profusely and multiple times.

Lemme guess. Words are violence, but a slap is a-ok. Right?

Lemme guess. You are one of those people who think that words don't matter and don't cause harm. Somebody needs to let Congress know because they are going after Twitter and Google because of those harmful words used to cyberbully people.

They are public figures and it is fine to poke fun at them. This is not what Congress is legislating about obviously.

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/05/arts/television/chris-rock-netflix.html

From the NYT review by Jason Zinoman

"There’s a comic nastiness to Rock’s insults, some of which is studied, but other times appeared to be the product of his own bottled-up anger. In this special, Rock seemed more raw than usual, sloppier, cursing more often and less precisely. This was a side of him you hadn’t seen before. The way his fury became directed at Pinkett Smith makes you wonder if this was also a kind of displacement."

The NYT has a way to side with violent aggressors. They even supported Hitler for a while. Makes you wonder if it is some kind of displacement.

I dont feel like this event damaged "the black community" in any way. Will open-hand slapped Chris like a sissy-- this was humiliating but not "black on black violence."
