Wanda Sykes has struggled to cope with Will Smith’s slap towards Chris Rock at the Oscars.
Comedian Wanda Sykes Wants Will Smith Held Accountable For Slapping Chris Rock-‘Shouldn’t You Be Sitting There With A Lawyer Or LAPD, Motherf—–?’
The actor had uncharacteristically lashed out towards the comedian after he had made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair loss.
And given that Wanda is also a comedian, she had every right to be concerned about the welfare of people working in that industry, as something similar could equally happen to her.
During her comments at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, she said: “I’m still traumatized. I can’t talk about it. I get emotional.” With that being said, Wanda did not hold back on her condemnation towards Will.
This was on the basis that the actor had shown a lack of remorse at the time, while Chris was given the task of continuing the show in front of a global audience, as though nothing had happened.
And given that Will did walk away without suffering any legal charges, that rubbed further salt into the wounds. Wanda added: “I couldn’t believe he was still sitting there, like an a**h.
“Shouldn’t you be sitting there with a lawyer or LAPD, motherf—–?” Nevertheless, Will has taken steps to rehabilitate himself back into society.
Reports indicated that he underwent therapy, which was accompanied by his trip to India that was allegedly done for spiritual purposes.
Although it is unclear whether Will’s acting career will continue the same, Wanda was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, if he had seriously changed. But until that moment, she was not going to change her negative outlook of him.
Her following comments confirmed as much: “I hope he gets his s— together. Until then, f— him.” Will has a lot of making up to do.
But given by what Wanda has said so far, he will have to do a lot more than therapy to convince people that he has changed. Time will tell if he manages to do just that. So there you have it folks.
