... And then, Chris Rock points to Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith's wife, and says “Jada, I love you, GI Jane 2, can’t wait to see it.” The audience laughs (maybe uncomfortably, but maybe not). The camera turns to Will Smith and his wife. He is laughing, but she is rolling her eyes. It takes 12 more seconds before Will Smith shows up on the stage and slaps Chris Rock in the face.
This episode is not about whether Rock had crossed the line with his comment, insensitive to Jada’s medical condition that led to her bold head. It’s not about whether Will Smith should have addressed this differently.
It’s about the 12 seconds between the moment Smith was laughing and the moment he was slapping Chris Rock. It’s about when funny becomes not funny anymore, and, obviously, how trust plays into it.
