We All Need to Keep Jada’s Name Out Our Mouths

I know. You’re tired of hearing about it but I had to add my two cents on the matter regarding the hate and blame that Jada is getting for Will’s actions.

It comes across as not only ridiculous, but as misogyny plain and simple and I’m not here for it.

This morning I saw this clip of comedian Earthquake talk about how Jada should have stopped Will from going on stage and slapping Chris. He also thinks that Will is being abused by Jada and that she doesn’t love him.

That’s quite a reach and a lot of speculations being made about their relationship from someone on the outside peeking in.

However, he’s not the only person, celebrity and non-celeb, making these type of public statements.

You’ll see the comment I left on the post and the outlandish replies I’ve received from people who disagree with me as proof of this.

5 Reasons We All Need to Keep Jada’s Name Out Our Mouths

• Will has taken responsibility and apologized for his actions.
• Wives don’t and shouldn’t control their husbands and vice versa.
• Will and Jada’s relationship is not the same as yours.
• Will and Jada were not sitting directly next to each other at the Oscars.
• Jada is not a mind reader, at least not to my knowledge.

Listen to my take on the 5 points:

The slap was for everyone who has had something to say about Jada

Of course when something like this happens the internet breaks and the memes, think pieces, blogs, and opinions run wild. As you can see and are reading, I am no different than most.

I also, after some thoughtful consideration to the possibility of capitalizing from an ugly situation, decided to sell a tee that features a cartoon of Will Smith smacking Chris Rock at the Dangerous Lee Mall.

I have gotten some backlash for it, as I knew I would, but I’m definitely not capitalizing from it in any way.

I was actually surprised to find several t-shirt designs available to sell in my store but as you know, people work fast!

The idea came to me after seeing an artist share a design he created of the same thing. His followers loved it, so I thought…what the hell! But everything doesn’t work for everybody.

Bold Fashion Statement or Poor Taste?

I fully believe that slap wasn’t just for the joke Chris made that day. It was for jokes he has made about Jada in the past and all the hate and ridicule that he and Jada have gotten since sitting at the Red Table and letting everyone know intimate details of their marriage.

I don’t agree with Will’s actions but I do appreciate the sentiment and I sell clothing that makes a bold statement and that tee fits the bill.

Don’t like it? Don’t buy it. Wanna tell me how ya feel? Like Fantasia says, I got no time for it.
