JUST SAYING

BY RAUL HERNANDEZ

The problem with many of these clowns is that they lose touch with reality and start to believe they are the characters that a screenwriter creates in his head and puts down on paper.

The public doesn’t help much when they treat these mere mortals as though they were gods.

Yes, many of these actors are incredibly talented, and watching them ply their trade on the silver screen is inspirational.

Will Smith is talented, but he got to the point where he can punch, humiliate and feel proud about what he did.

And the Oscars audience applauded after he struck another human being — no apologies that night.

That was before the backlash from millions worldwide that can affect his pocketbook and “star” status.

Chris Rock was a class act in all this. He didn’t curse at Smith or demand that he gets tossed out of the room and arrested.

Does anyone believe Will Smith would have pulled this publicity-seeking-slap stunt if it was Mike Tyson on that stage saying the same joke about Jada Pinkett?
