What did Chris Rock know? When did he know it? How is Scientology involved?

it’s fucked though because it makes space for all kinds of flat, white supremacist patriarchal shit with weird liberal veneer that is stamped on this thread

We can't discount the theory that this was part of a bigger message sent to Rock to silence him about scientology. Rock has already declined to press charges. Message received?

If this involved a B-list actor, maybe. Like Jorge said, this isn't Will Smith's brand of weirdness (or craziness).

Jesse Plemons is a professional actor. Will Smith is a hack.

Maybe the black Tom Hanks thing he's been doing lately isn't that profitable? Maybe he's going in a new edgy direction?

I don't know I'm just asking questions.

Rock is "professional" actor because he's a good comedian and great friends with Adam Sandler/David Spade.

Point taken, but I'm willing to assume it meant something to him, and Smith has been around so long. I doubt he's got a problem getting casted in big roles (like his last one).

The original theory is that it was staged to increase ratings for the Oscars, which seems ridiculous to me if it involves Smith & Rock. That makes no sense.
