Rock Em-Sock Em

Let me preface my poem with saying that this is a narrative of what I saw from a video. I don’t agree with violence nor profanity. I do however understand a man wanting to stick up for his wife. There is enough crazy to go all through this situation. Chris Rock told a tasteless joke about Jada Pinkett Smith. Will was not amused. It was no shtick, that slap it was adamant unabashed didn’t care if anyone was looking preferred it “#$@& you” he yells, after the heartbreak if a husband stares into his wife’s eyes and he drowns in the cold shark abyss for her heart has been suddenly hurt watch out… surely the shuffle of feet you’re quite lucky it wasn’t a full grown punch drop mike 3/28/2022

Kim, Excellent write, I don't think I ever seen this ever happen. The world is changing the jokes are really not that funny anymore. It's just mean insults. I'm not sure who wrote the joke, but I agree with BJ on the double standard in Hollywood. Blessings ~ Debra

Truly..he should have held back. I don’t think it made him look good to Disney either.
