No excuses
Across the world this week on television we witnessed an act of violence in what should have been a pure ‘entertainment’ tv show.
There was no excuse for Chris Rock to use the autoimmune condition of Jada Pinkett Smith as the core of a joke on the 2022 Academy Award Ceremony. There is never any excuse for anyone using the ill health of another for a joke. There was no excuse for Will Smith to then get up from his seat, stroll casually across the stage floor and hit Chris Rock across the face/head. That was an act of violence that is and should be utterly condemned by all.
