I personally could never get back together with a person after something like that. I'm honestly surprised and a bit put off by how they managed to work things out like that.(03-29-2022, 08:31 PM)Shionari Wrote:I thought they were divorced tbh. I remember her doing an interview and I felt second hand embarrassment for will. I'm off social media now so idk what's been going, I was shocked to see them together and married, because some people told me they were no longer together.(03-29-2022, 04:40 AM)vittring Wrote: And now social media is all "he's so brave" when really, he's just above the law because of his past as a fellow comedian and actor.I can't know for sure because I have no stats or numbers, but I think that - thankfully - this isn't true. From what I've seen in social media so far, people are actually blaming Will for his impulsive reaction. Many started pointing out the incoherence of his behavior: How he's completely fine with his wife cheating on him with another dude, but loses control when someone makes a slightly offensive joke about her - clearly without any ill intentions. Now whether or not this is a fair thing to point out is another debate. It does show however that people disapprove of the way he reacted. Sure, some idiots here and there condone his reaction and think that it was appropriate and justified, but for the most part, it seems like public opinion is largely against him.
It's obvious Will snapped. It's Hollywood, I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner tbh. I don't see Rock pressing charges but I'd love to see their next interaction lol
The way Will snapped was a little weird, however. If you look closely, he seemed to be laughing at first, as if he was completely fine with the joke. Then, barely ten seconds later, he's losing control, getting violent and swearing at Rock. Something seemed off to me about how the event unfolded.
As for Rock, you judged correctly. It appears he did refuse to press charges. Props to him for a mature reaction.
