A joke from Chris Rock on Jada Smith, wife of Will Smith, did not sit well with Jada. Despite letting the joke go and laughing at it at first. Will realized that it had hurt his wife and then he decided to go and slap Chris Rock on the stage. This was what happened in Dray’s understanding.

“I 100% do not condone violence. But I 100% feel where Will Smith was coming from.” Draymond Green expressed that he understood the pain Jada must have gone through after discovering her disorder of Alopecia. However, not many fans agreed with this take from Dray.
Tired of this take.
This is a reasonable take. I still disagree overall, but multiple things can be true.
I disagree. But this was a very insightful take.
He thought it was funny until his wife said it wasn’t.
You’re making an excuse for him or trying to make others believe that there was an excuse when there wasn’t.

It’s a joke.
Every Arab Man in the World, including Me, Have Alopecia. If someone calls me Mean Gene Okerlund I’m not looking to brawl.
So if someone makes a bald joke you think it’s okay to slap them? That’s dumb af.
Who cares? Green figure out your game right now!
