I doubt I have to explain what this post is about, but just in case:

Anyway, today on Morning Joe, they were actually criticizing Will Smith for only apologizing to the Academy and not to Chris Rock. I think they have that backward--Chris Rock should have made a public apology to Jada Pinkett Smith for making her medical condition the subject of an ad-libbed joke (and don't try to claim he didn't know why she shaves her head--she's discussed it openly on line and on TV--plus he has a history of taking shots at her:
After Pinkett Smith boycotted the 2016 Oscars ceremony for its lack of diversity, that year’s host, Rock, suggested in his opening monologue that the actress wasn’t even invited to the show in the first place. “Jada went mad,” he began. “Jada says she’s not coming. Protesting.” Then he quipped, “Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I wasn’t invited!”
Rock went on to poke fun at Smith, who many had pegged as a lock to be nominated that year for his work in Concussion. “Jada’s mad her man Will was not nominated for Concussion. I get it,” Rock said. “It’s also not fair that Will was paid $20 million for Wild Wild West.” [https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-news/will-smith-chris-rock-jada-pinkett-smith-history-timeline-1328492/]
