@TheAcademy You watched and broadcast a live assault to millions of people around the world, then awarded a man who committed said assault immediately afterwards without removing him from the building or having him arrested for the crime.
That's the definition of condoning the violence.
I love a man who defends his lady but not by assault, esp. not at the #Oscars in front of the world
The joke was awful but love isn’t violence
Will Smith doesn’t get to call himself an ambassador of love 1 minute & bitch slap someone the next
Assault survivors know what I mean
Many people, especially kids, look up to actors. Because of that, we have an obligation to try to be good role models. With celebrity comes responsibility.
I know we’re all still processing, but the way casual violence was normalized tonight by a collective national audience will have consequences that we can’t even fathom in the moment. #Oscars2022
For the rest of his career, Will Smith’s Oscar win will be associated with this moment. That he wasn’t escorted out by security, is a reminder of two America’s. That if you are rich & famous, rules are different. That he sat back in his seat proves that Will also knows that…
@robertflorence Boo! Hissss! You shut your mouth when you talk bad about The Goonies. Data’s inventions saved them how many times? And Rosalita was the one who saved the Goondocks! I don’t buy it.
