Body Language Analyst Reacts to Jada Pinkett Smith and Denzel Washington during Will Smith Slap.

Please do Amber Heard deposition!

Denzel Washington's stern look is that of a father watching his son throwing his life away. The fact that Will twisted Denzel's comment to validate himself must have been very disappointing to say the least.

Keeping your composure after being humiliated on live for the world to see…like that Chris Rock’s mental strength is solid.

I feel like despite just being smacked, Chris was instantly able to process that Will was having some kind of breakdown and decided not to engage. People say it was humiliating for him, but God, could you imagine if they were brawling on stage at the Oscars??? No matter how justified Chris would have been, there would have been eternal footage of him brawling on stage at the Oscar's. The footage that exists now makes him sympathetic and makes Will look horrible. He had a split second to decide how to react, and although there will always be part of him that wishes he fought back, I think he did the right thing!

Denzel: “I said that to you in private man no need to let everyone know. Now you’re dragging me into this” 🤦🏾‍♂️

I took Denzel’s reaction as him thinking “Will, I see you didn’t get what I meant when I said that to you.”

Imagine being humiliated by someone on stage and then that person getting a standing ovation by the same crowd…

This guy is the nicest man to talk about these subjects and people. I appreciate your kindness and dignity as you share your viewpoint :)

I'm convinced Jada just didn't care! I couldn't watch my husband lose his mind on national television and just sit there worrying about my image or what people think. I would have walked him out or to the bathroom or somewhere private and talked to him. She is a narcissist, she humiliated him publicly so much that he felt the need to prove his manhood, she emasculated him. Everything she does is horrible, talking about an affair u had with your own son's friend with your husband on your stupid show is the worst way to handle that. Your marriage is private and nobody else's business, that is a conversation that should be private. She enjoys torturing him.

The way Will walked to the stage, with that exaggerated swagger, and the way he slapped Chris, in kind of an actory stance designed to look good on camera, left me feeling like he was doing something so out of character and foreign to him, like he was performing a role and the role was "heroic guy who defends honor of wife" and this was more his interpretation of what that would look like rather than being how a real person would actually have acted. Even his shouting after he sat down seemed like his internal "director" was telling him "more emotion Will, say it louder, give me all you got on this one". It was just weird. I think he was having a mini nervous breakdown or something.

I think Will interpreted Denzel's meaning incorrectly. I think Will used it to justify his actions when Denzel meant to avoid exactly that

You're being very generous in your theories of why Jada was laughing. I would've thought it was for a slightly darker reason personally.

I felt Wanda’s pain and almost cried as she told the story of her friend being assaulted.

I think Denzel is a reasonable man. I think he spoke to Will to calm him so as to not escalate the situation further. If he told Will that the devil comes for you, I think it would be in reference to Will's personal demons, but Will got up there and used Denzel's words to try and make himself out to be the victim of Chris Rock. Denzel is tense, because as a reasonable man, he doesn't want people to think that he is supporting Will's unreasonable actions. He's probably thinking, "Will, keep my name out your fucking mouth."

If my husband had done something outrageous like that, especially in the guise of defending me, I would have been so humiliated. She doesn't even appear to be upset and that makes me think think there's more going on than we know.

Denzel presented an enigmatic front to Will Smith, not wanting to leak any facial expression that might condone or encourage him. By fixing his gaze, remaining still and with a blank expression, it made it easier to dissociate is face from any and all fleeting emotion that might surface and betray his true feelings. So, while he honored Will with his full attention, he refused to be publicly dragged into the shitshow on stage.

Knowledge is knowing Will is in the wrong. Wisdom is knowing Jada is a monster

I love the analysis of Denzel's comment not being a warning, but rather a commentary of what he just saw. Will shares that statement with us as if he thinks his friend has given him great advice for staying aware and alert in the future, but sadly he doesn't seem to understand the message that the Devil has already made an appearance.

My analysis of Denzel's reaction to Will mentioning his advice is that of disapointment, as in realising that Will didn't get the point of the advice being that Will's action was actually the devil taking control of him in his highest moment, instead Will pointed the advice outward and took it that outside forces (Chris's joke) were "coming for him". Jada broke that man, the joke had nothing to do with his actions.

This makes me sad and I still can't believe it happened. I grew up watching WS, my son adores him it was sad to see his downfall and love CR - Jada never been a fan. I think CR was the class act here and a true gentleman and veteran.
