That will probably be his next step but right now he's basically the kid complaining "are we there yet" on a trip.I thought Will Smith was publicizing that Chris doesn't want to see him so that he can eventually be like "Hey I learned my lesson, it's not my fault he doesn't want to forgive me" to almost shift the blame onto Chris. There is definitely a (small but vocal) contingent of people who are probably on Smith's side.
There's definitely a hint of that plotline starting up though. Perhaps he suspects Chris Rock will leave him hanging for a long time, which he should as there's only one thing Will Smith wants from him and it's his endorsement/forgiveness.
I don't know about that, but he clearly thought he was above the other guy. If the guy was The Rock, Joe Rogan or someone he didn't know well it might have been different.Presumably the only reason he did it in the first place was because he thought he would get away with it (ie Chris would not fight back, would laugh it off and/or forgive him easily). He wouldn't have done it if (I know it wouldn't happen but) Joe Rogan was the one hosting it. Rogan would beat the shit out of Smith.
His team claims that the slap also came with prior animosity between the two and precisely because they know each other, we'll probably never know but there's probably a crazy reality show antagonistic vibe from his former and current group of friends in relation to Jada Smith. And he's probably defensive of it because he chose that life but the bitch is self centered and, well, mean.
