> On May 8, 1996, he became increasingly erratic and was arrested after he brandished a pistol in the middle of an intersection on Ventura Boulevard in Los Angeles, screaming, “They’re trying to kill me!” He was again hospitalized, with his public-relations agent citing exhaustion and dehydration as the reasons for this episode.[1] On July 29, 1996, he tried to take a 9mm gun onto a plane and received two years probation and a fine.[20]

Remember kids, you only know what you see on camera. We know 0% about the real lives of famous people. And assault is always a poor response to words.
Smith has been involved with scientology for over a decade. Chapelle makes a good point about the industry abusing people and spitting them out.
Will smith is the abuser, not the abused. Thats why he owns production companies and has his pr manager come running after he assaults someone on live tv.
Harvey weinstein wouldnt feel that untouchable and yet Will got up and smacked a dude
I have no problem with calling any scientologists crazy, especially when they act crazy in public, and I don’t care if that offends them.
Also that doesn’t necessarily mean I hate them. I don’t care what people say about Tom Cruise, he’s crazy and he’s also crazy good at acting, in my opinion.
meltdown ≠ assault
The environment is sick. But it’s an environment solely comprised of all the damned people who have chosen to contribute to the sickness of the environment. You typically don’t make it unless you are already at least somewhat sick.
And it’s not strength that gets you there. It’s compulsion. Its disfunction. It’s trying to fill a void inside yourself that can’t be filled. And in as much, it’s a never ending quest even once you’ve “made it” because you’ve only made it until you need your next gig.
I sort of feel bad for these people. I’ve seen it up close and in slow motion. But it’s not person X in their virtuous bubble and then off to the side the toxic Hollywood environment. They ARE the environment.
I don’t think Will Smith is “crazy,” but he was way out of line to hit someone. No matter what someone says to you or about you, or about someone you care about, that does not justify violence. Ever.
Fuck cultists.
wa wa wa. look how hard it is for us rich folk! shut the fuck up chappelle. old ass rich man, pretending he’s still one of the little folk.
first thing i thought of, last night
That move putting the cigarette in his mouth at the end like a mic drop….so perfect.
I am legitimately waiting for Aunt Viv’s take on The Slappening.
Hollywood will make you crazy there is no doubt about that, but here’s the thing, it is completely voluntary so sorry if I don’t exactly feel all that sorry for them.
The real shame is will could have taken this moment to walk on stage, talk about alopecia and tell his wife how beautiful she is. Instead he turned it into violence and hate.
The wild thing is that most people that get called crazy are the ones that clearly need some sort of help, usually some type of therapy.
Nah, Smith isn’t crazy and this wasn’t a melt down. Man just lost his temper.
I wouldn’t say Smith is crazy but he definitely either doesn’t know how or hasn’t accepted to let things go or appear weak. It seems he’s clinging onto the traditional standards of a family or being a man, to the point of being holier-than-thou.
Everybody would’ve forgot that joke in 15 seconds but will Smith just made everyone remember it forever
Very good point
Did Chappelle really go crazy though? I know what the media reported, but did he ever do anything erratic or anything? IIRC he just made a bunch of money, picked up his toys, and moved to Africa. Not that weird
did we see will wearing a dress? it’s the first symptom…
Always a conspiracy huh?
I think a large part of the issue is there’s a massive amount of pressure on individuals to keep being successful. Nobody is hot forever, and everyone is excited about the next new thing.
So you work hard to become noticed, then everyone is your friend, nobody says no to you and you get paid craploads.
However, people around you still tell you whatever you want to hear…you are brilliant or whatever. But the people in control of studios and TV stations making money off you lose interest, and stop taking you for lunch. So you try and make yourself relevant by doing crazy stuff, or becoming a little crazy trying to get people to notice you.
Plus at the same time everything about you is watched and commented on and people are spouting opinions on you and making stuff up.
Hard to stay sane in an environment like that. Why some celebs who are consistently punching out work decade on decade live in a ranch in Texas, or a castle in Scotland and come out every few years. Hard to get to a space to be able to do that though. But I respect actors who can get there, then stay in a healthy place.
I expect it’s hard to be the most popular person in the world one day and 10 years later you are a nobody…..
If it’s bad now, what happens with all our YouTube, Tik Tok, reality stars start to lose their appeal. I mean the Kardashians can’t really take any more clothes off. It’s going to get pretty nutty.
If in any debate you find yourself on the side of a scientologist, then you are on the wrong side. No exceptions.
If this is in reference to Will Smith, please come back to reality.
Fuck Will Smith
Okay but you still don’t get to hit people.
A normal, rational and healthy human being will exit a bad environment not stay in it. They stay in it by their choice because of money and fame. Love you Dave but this is some hypocritical one-sided bullshit.
Will Smith isn’t “crazy”. Will Smith has real problems and real issues, and it’s obviously something that almost everyone in public knows if you’ve been keeping tabs on their family for the past couple of years.
They’ve aired out basically everything, hiding practically nothing especially when it comes to their relationship problems.
So yea, I mean there’s nothing “crazy” about it. The dude needs help. His ways of coping just ain’t it.
My brother thinks this is more like MJ jerking off a kid when there’s a crisis in the world.
