Will Smith resigns from the Academy

[runnerblade95]

I hope that this is recent enough for those that were stating that my previous thread was too late and a duplicate.

Huge cop out. This has been handled appallingly from the get go

Who really cares apart from the people involved?

Agreed. He should have been arrested and brought before the authorities regardless. What he did was unprofessional, impulsive, aggressive and completely uncalled for.

Two threads OP?

Lol true. I guess it’s just a case of morals and ascertaining right from wrong at this point.

@bonfireheart

Two threads OP?

Yup. Have already reported the first thread to MNHQ. Hopefully they will delete it in due course. Thanks for your concern.

You have another post/thread about Will Smith that's not even a couple of hours old
Now youve started another, instead of simply updating that thread? 🤔.

You said you're new here so I guess you just joined to go on about Will Smith.

Correct. I have no other reason to be here. I’ve posted previously about a neighbourhood dispute. That’s it. I don’t visit this site regularly so I have no knowledge of how to update threads, have them removed etc etc.

If that’s an issue for you, then I’m sure you are able to just simply move on to the next thread, no?

Bloody hell. OP can’t win, can she?

She got jumped all over because supposedly the first post wasn’t topical enough and covered the same ground as other threads (who cares?)

Now she asks for that one to be deleted and starts with this one anout a new development and that isn’t right either. 🙄

She’s already said she’s new to MN. Quit the bullying. The thread is fine.

I hadn’t heard he resigned from the Academy. So thanks for that.

Probably the right decision. Physical assault is obviously unacceptable.

Thank you @Thoosa

Good to know there are still some decent people in this world.

You’re welcome

Agreed. As he should. Physical assault is unacceptable regardless of the circumstances.

So what? Thread police much?

For someone new, you’ve mastered the snarky response admirably.

Well done.

I hope Chris Rock is okay. Apparently he has Aspergers, I read this week. I always have liked him. So some of these shenanigans must seem wildly illogical to him from his vantage point in the middle of it all. I hope the resignation helps him feel some justice has been done.

I think I’m going to watch “Everbody hates Chris” again as a treat to myself, and in support of him. I’ll buy the box set of it’s available. EHC also features the lovely Terry Crews so win-win.

Lol why thank you. Life is too short. This is the internet. I assure you that I am most certainly not phased

@Thoosa I think I’m going to watch “Everbody hates Chris” again as a treat to myself, and in support of him.

Everybody Hates Chris is hilarious. Please do give it a watch. You will not regret it.

Thanks OP, did not know this and likely won't see any news on the weekend

I think it's the appropriate thing to do under the circumstances.

Good.

He has set a terrible example to children who admire him because of his movie and TV roles. If you don't like something, deal with it with physical violence🙄

Think there is so much more to emerge around this/him.

Something else going on.

Totally agree @ohwhatadayitsbeen. He’s heard much worse and not reacted. I hope that everyone can move on from this

This ^. Not sure why everyone is being arsy about this thread? I mean the other one fair enough because there were eleven million threads on the subject but not this^.

Couldn’t agree more. DH said exactly the same thing. Whatever it is, I’m not going to judge him for it. It could be mental health. Physical health. A combination of things. I think we tend to forget that these individuals are still human, just like us. While his reaction was uncalled for and unwarranted, I am definitely inclined to believe that there is more to this.

Don’t know what’s with all the sympathy for Chris rock. He made a tacky, tasteless, insensitive and unfunny joke and not for the first time. If that is the way you work, you have to be prepared for some people to get pretty pissed off with you 🤷‍♀️
