For a situation that directly involved only three people, the Slap has churned up an exhausting amount of public opinion
Amen, brother. Photo: Paul Zimmerman/WireImage For a situation that directly involved only three people, the Slap — that Will Smith dealt Chris Rock at the Oscars, after the comedian made a tasteless joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s alopecia — has churned up an exhausting amount of public opinion. We are four days out from the Academy Awards and the hits just keep on coming. Zoë Kravitz has attempted to wade into the fray.
Out of all the famous-person statements to surface so far, I have seen only two that please me. One comes from Questlove, who meditated through the moment, and the other comes from Daniel Radcliffe. The hosts of Good Morning Britain pumped Harry Potter for his thoughts on the Slap during their Thursday morning show, and though he was “reluctant to chime in” — to quote Metro — here is the answer he came up with.
“I’m just so already dramatically bored of hearing people’s opinions about it that I just don’t want to be another opinion added to it,” he said. Perfectly stated, and same here. Unless someone wants to apologize to Pinkett Smith for this whole hell, no more, please. Radcliffe’s will be the final word on the Slap.
