1. Smith is a cuck. The emotional strain of that realization has finally caused him to snap. nt

8. I know what it means, and the term "cuck" has added layers.

I'm just wondering wtf it's doing here, and at the bizarre speculation.

About them. He was laughing till he saw her face and thought if I don't do something I will lose my marriage. I think he thought she was expecting it whether or not that was true.

Yes Jada has medical problems, but she also has major marriage problems and has held Will on such a tight string I think he snapped.

I think he was angry at the situation not at the joke.

I hope Will gets some help.

Are they still in that church? He could be getting pressure from them too.

Personally, I’ve wanted to punch Chris Rock. Maybe not at an awards show. Still probably because of something he said at an awards show. Because that’s the only place I might see him.


Totally agree tho about the loss of civility in this country.

12. Can someone explain how being compared to Demi Moore in GI Jane was an insult ?!

If Demi Moore's looks in 1997 / GI Jane are an insult then some people have some fucked up standards for women's looks

14. Jada didn't have a choice or get paid a large amount of money to lose her hair

She lost it due to a medical condition, it isn't funny to her or many others.

I doubt he would have make the crack had he known but you have to like that we were supposed to follow the life of the Smith's because Ms. Pinkett-Smith brought it up on her instagram account.



He should have mocked their Open Marriage.

the closet and before people jump on me, I feel there is nothing wrong with being gay. I think Jada has been his beard for years. He's clearly miserable and should try to live his truth instead of dealing with this sham marriage he has with Jada.

I followed him on social media for awhile(pre-Covid) and he was never with her. They seem to live separate lives. Then they admitted that they had an open marriage. That is not my definition of marriage but whatever. It seems like it is all Jada. He seemed hurt when all the details about her affair came out.
