Not an act. I thought it might have been at first too, but not anymore. Slow-motion zoomed in video shows that Will Smith slapped the shit out of Chris Rock: https://files.catbox.moe/l5n280.mp4
He may have, but I think it was planned. Chris Rock would not have recovered so quickly. I was assaulted by a patient once, with my manager and assistant manager standing right with me. It hurt like hell-whiplash and an immediate headache. I was shocked, none of us saw it coming (the patient had a psychotic break from medicine administered, despite the family’s request to not do so). I am older and wiser and wish I had delved into why the medicine was given, but that is another story. Bottom line was, Chris Rock was to smooth. No shock on his face, just on with the show. Will Smith totally unconcerned afterwards. I would have been angry, not out partying. Maybe that is the female in me talking-women hold grudges and don’t ever forget. Men move on.
Holy crap - how scary! So sorry to hear that happened to you. Must have been really unnerving. Hope you made a full recovery from that ordeal and got taken off duty for that outta control patient!
You make a good point about Chris Rock's speedy recovery from the slap. That part is interesting. However, if you're hosting the Oscars and are on live TV with cameras on you, it's not as if you'd break down and cry or act like a wuss - not an option.
I've watched the slow-motion zoomed-in video many times and I see Rock's face rippling in waves from the impact, and Will Smith almost loses his balance as he smacks him. I still believe that slap was real, but don't believe for a second that it had anything to do with Jada Pinkett Smith's hair loss.
Yes, I was taken off duty, sent to the ER (the hospital wanted to CYA). The hospital had the gall to bill my insurance company, despite it being a job related injury. I had to argue with billing, the patient advocate and threaten to call the insurance company to report it as a fraudulent billing to get the hospital to reverse the payment. I did that out of principal. I later found out they submitted the bill to Victims of Crime for payment. How they could do that on my behalf is beyond me. That is when I started waking up to the crookedness of hospitals. This is a major teaching hospital in Ohio. Nothing surprises me anymore re. the medical industry. Just like transplant denials, you an bet the government, insurance company, CDC, and Big Pharma put the screws to the transplant team which is part of the hospital complex.
Holy crap - that is INSANE! How many layers of corruption are there in hospitals. I thought we already got to the bottom of it, but alas, there is a BASEMENT too!
