Netizens are now calling out Chris Rock over his pending apology Jada Pinkett Smith as the comedian targeted her alopecia amidst his joke at Oscars.
Taking to Twitter, netizens are calling out the comedian for his ‘toxic’ behaviour that belittled Jada.
“This question is rhetorical. why is it that white feminists have labeled will smith’s behavior “toxic masculinity” but not chris rock’s pattern of belittling jada pinkett-smith and black women as a whole?” one user tweeted.
“I hope Chris Rock apologized to Jada because — setting aside everything else that happened — her immediate reaction to that joke was one of hurt, anger and exhaustion,” another one noted.
“Chris Rock has not yet issued a statement. There is a statement going around purporting to be from Rock that is not from him, per his team. It’s the one that starts, “As a comedian it can be difficult to understand…” a tweet criticized Rock’s remarks on the matter.
