WAS WILL JUSTIFIED?

Now, this is a really subjective question to be asked to anybody. Many feel that
what Chris Rock [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/chris-rock] did was very brave.
After being slapped on live television, the way he continued is getting immense
praise.

While some say that even though hitting is wrong, Will had his reasons, and that
Jada’s disease is personal to her. And that joke was certainly not
well-thought-out.

All have their opinion on the matter, but a particular Twitter user feels that
Will had no other choice.

@_ja_s_on_ [https://twitter.com/_ja_s_on_] posted a short clip of Chris’ 2016
Oscar [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ql54DPd44TQ] hosting monologue in
reference to his comment. To brush up on your memory, in 2016, Jada had released
an open statement [https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=10153983404106320] saying
she would not be attending the Oscars.

The reason for not attending the ceremony was the lack of diversity. “Is it time
that people of color recognize how much power, influence, that we have amassed,
that we no longer need to ask to be invited anywhere?” the actress said.

And in that year’s Oscars, Chris joked about Jada boycotting the ceremony and
said that it is not about boycotting anything but getting equal opportunities.

So we leave it up to you. Let us know your opinion about the incident and who
you think was right.
