    Presumably Rock and Jada are relative strangers .... so let's extrapolate. We all meet at a CUK drink, and I decide to be (even more of) a dick and in front of the rest of the CUK group take the piss out of your wife in a really nasty way. You'd just stand there would you?

    I wouldn't have done with Rachel, but maybe me and Will Smith are in the minority, but I doubt it.
    I would tell you that you are out of order (probably something a bit more harsh), now if you continue to be a dick I would leave with the wife. Because I don't want to end up in prison for the night at the very least, or charged with murder because I punched you and you fell on your head. Or even worse you punch me and I fall on my head and die and leave my wife on her own.

    I would leave with my wife and take the piss out of you for the rest of the night, whilst we enjoy the rest of the evening, leaving you to behave like a dick with other people.

    If I lost my temper and hit you I would be deeply ashamed of myself to allow someone behaving like a dick to dictate my behaviour and actions. To allow someone to control me like that really would be an indication of real stupidity.

    If you attacked my wife physically like most men I would do my utmost to hurt you.

      I read it was a slap, which to my mind is more of a token gesture to show his disapproval
      Watch the clip. A slap but not a limp-wristed attempt at least the way it looks, though some initially thought it was a fake-acting-slap

        Was the bloke he was sharing a cell with picking up the soap at the time?

          To be fair, I'd have probably told him to shut up first, and punched him second ... but we have to remember here that it was Rock out of order by making a joke out of her illness and he deserves no sympathy.

          Had Rock joked about their open marriage/affairs, sh*t films she was in, sh*t films Smith has been in etc that would be different, but I would never allow anyone to have a go at Rachel over her illness and I would assume most partners (male or female) would be the same.

          I stutter, sometimes quite badly, and have had people mock me but they'd only do it once if Rach was around as she would defend me.

            This is the second verse of the antithesis on the command: "eye for an eye". In one of the most famous verses in the New Testament, Jesus here rejects revenge and retaliation, instead telling his followers to turn the other cheek.
            What is the meaning of Kenneth Rogers


            "I promised you, Dad, not to do the things you've done
            I walk away from trouble when I can
            Now please don't think I'm weak, I didn't turn the other cheek
            And Papa, I should hope you understand
            Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man"

              Chris Rock's joke about her in 2016:
              During the stand-up star’s blistering opening monologue, he took aim at the Gotham star’s decision to boycott the event over the diversity row.

              “Jada said she’s not coming,” said Rock.

              “I was like, ‘Isn’t she on a TV show?’ Jada’s gonna boycott the Oscars? Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I wasn’t invited!”

                Seems Rock has an issue with Will Smith, and is using Jada as a way to get at Will. Slap deserved. Maybe Rock will keep his gob shut in future.

                  That was my thought.

                    And, what's your point?

                    You are aware that the Oscars recognise achievements in the film industry, don't you?

                      Maybe Chris Rock will continue being a comedian. One thing is for sure, the smooth, debonaire Will Smith has demonstrated his lack of control, wit and intelligence.
