Comedian Tom Segura has blasted Will Smith over his slapping incident involving Chris Rock.
Comedian Tom Segura Calls Out Will Smith For Being An ‘Entitled Ass’
The actor has received mass condemnation across social media on the basis that his actions were not only out of order but sent a dark cloud over the ceremony, especially since he had walked away with the best actor award.
Although Will did apologise, the harsh reality is that it has not gone down very well. And none more so than with Tom himself. In an interview on the ‘Pat McAfee Show,’ Tom called out Will over his lack of accountability.
He said: “The idea that you’re entitled a– thinks because your feelings are hurt, you get to assault one of the all-time greats because you f–king feel…Anybody who did not stand up and say some s— for Chris Rock, we’re going to ruin your f—ing life. I just want you to know that.”
But just as he was condemning Will for his behaviour, Tom had nothing but praise for Chris. This was on the grounds that the comedian had acted admirably after being caught off guard.
He may have been under the impression that Will was trying to create a funny comedy sketch prior to the slap. That is why Tom praised Chris for continuing to show a semblance of normality.
He added: “And it’s amazing that he could even recover and move on. I mean – look, dude, it’s wild that that guy [Smith] is getting away with that. And I just, you know – it’s just entitlement.”
These sentiments continued to follow on social media. A significant proportion of people believed that had it been an ordinary person, as opposed to a Hollywood star, then the authorities would have gotten involved.
One person wrote: “It really doesn’t matter what you think about comedy or jokes. If any normal person just got onto stage or just randomly walked up to someone and hit them they’d be charged without assault.”

Tom clearly does not hold Will in high regard, and by the looks of it, the public have a similar feeling too. So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? If you liked reading this article, then check out our other features on the Daily Soap Dish.
