I do like that he used an open hand to slap him, which shows some restraint.

We don't know what the agreements are in their marriage. I myself am not so quick to judge.

@snytiger6 they made her affair very public by talking about it on her show, so there is a little insight. For sure noone can know what goes on behind closed doors, I can only judge from my experience.

Yeah, I realized the mistake after the post had been up for several hours.

@snytiger6 If anyone was deserving, it would be Kid Rock!

And for these two shitheads, bad publicity is still good publicity.

When I lived in Los Angeles, I had met many celebrities, but observed many more than I had actually actually talked to. For fun, for about ten years, I worked as an "Extra" for movies television anhd commercials. Some celebrities are full of themselves, some when working are totally focused on their work and professional, and some are genuinely nice people.

Many people get the wrong impression. For example I worked a lot on The West Wing, and people kept telling me how Rob Lowe was a total stuck up jerk. I had not seen him much, but we did see Martin Sheen all the time, as he came over and talked and joked with us. Then one day Rob Lowe had two scenes one at the beginning of the day and and another one at the end of the day and nothing in between. On that day he came over and was social and talked with us as well. The difference being that he had two lines to do that day, and not continuous scenes where he had to remain focused on his work. I found him to be a pretty nice guy. It is just most of the time he is too busy to just be himself, because he is totally professional in him work.

Anyway, my point is that celebrities seldom are able to relax in their professions and just be regular people. Often their public personas differ a great deal from who they really are. They work in a business that is literally a surrealistic reality of existence, which seldom allows them to be regular people, even if they want to. Because they spend so much time in the surrealistic world of being a celebrity, they often get lost in that world and can have a warped sense of reality.

I have never met him, but I have been told that Tom Hanks is one of the few that has managed to keep a level sense of reality despite being a celebrity.

He's worse than that.

@LovinLarge disappointing.

@LovinLarge I had no idea. Like others, I always thought he was likeable and benign. All told, last night was a real fall from grace for him as more of this comes out.

@Lauren Funny, I could not see the love in his heart when he was hitting Chris Rick. He should be banned from the Oscars AND from running for public office!

@Lauren right? Me too. Of course this is not as bad as Bill Cosby but I had that same feeling. The shock and disappointment. This came from nowhere and I’d have never expected this from him.

@FreethoughtKaty Yes, exactly, it's a similar feeling of betrayal. Once the charade is uncovered, it usually precedes a lot of stories coming out from other people. So sad.

The only thing now that Smith is truly sorry for is all the negative attention he is/has received, and rightly so, he deserves every bit of negativity that may come his way.

Not only that....this morning I spoke with a friend who works in ''the business.'' She said ''everyone knows they're BOTH assholes!" The sad truth is...it takes very self-centered egos to survive in Hollywood. (That's why Betty White was such an anomaly.) What we saw on that stage was a fine
example.
