HOLLYWOOD, CA – Will Smith is in hot water again after video footage of him taunting a bald man has reemerged.

In the 1991 video from The Arsenio Hall Show, you can hear Will Smith saying about the show’s band bass player, John Williams
“He gotta wax his head every morning.
Ah, these are jokes, come on.”
So they are jokes when he’s telling them, but not when one someone else is?
Isn’t that called a hypocrite?
Last Sunday, Smith slapped Chris Rock on live television after making jokes about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
Smith walked onto the stage and hit Rock across the face while everyone tuning in watched in amazement.
Smith then yelled,
“Keep my wife’s name out your f—— mouth.”
Smith returned to his seat for the remainder of the awards ceremony.
Chris Rock called her “G.I. Jane” in reference to her short hair. It was later revealed that Smith’s wife has alopecia.

Smith was asked to leave the Oscars but refused.
He later won an Oscar for Best Actor in King Richard.
Smith offered an apology to the Academy Awards and to all “fellow nominees” but left Rock out of his initial apology.
His behavior has since been criticized.
On Monday, Smith made a statement on Instagram. This time he mentioned Chris Rock.
He said,
“Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive.
My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable.
Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally.
I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris.
I was out of line and I was wrong.
I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be.
There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.
I would also like to apologize to the Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world.
I would like to apologize to the Williams Family and my King Richard Family.
I deeply regret that my behavior has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us.
I am a work in progress.
Sincerely, Will”
Thirteen weeks ago, Jada Pinkett Smith posted on Instagram about her alopecia.
In the video, she teases about her hair and jokes about how she will decorate her scalp.

And I’m sorry the Oscars turned into the Jerry Springer show.”

He was having a disagreement with the theater staff about their masking policy.”
Far-left critics slam Hollywood actress Kristen Bell for taking photos with LAPD deputies
LANCASTER, CA- According to reports, Hollywood actress Kristen Bell has been criticized after appearing in photos with deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) Lancaster station.
Today, we had the absolute pleasure of meeting @KristenBell, who was hands down, the kindest human ever.
There truly never is a dull moment at Lancaster! #LASD #AV411 #myherowearsabadge pic.twitter.com/T3ZatbYX3Q
— LASD Lancaster Stn. (@LANLASD) November 20, 2021
The LASD Lancaster station posted photos of the meet-and-greet with Bell to its social media pages on November 20th. The posts show the actress in two photos: one in which she is seen smiling with an arm around two deputies and another in which she is with a deputy taking a selfie and giving a thumbs up.
The post from LASD read:
“Today, we had the absolute pleasure of meeting @kristenanniebell, who was hands down, the kindest human ever. There truly never is a dull moment in Lancaster!”
Unsurprisingly, critics were quick to slam Bell, who was all smiles in both of the photos.
The post was met with a barrage of comments expressing disappointment in Bell, a support of the Black Lives Matter movement and racial equality – accusing her of going against her convictions by posing with police.
Some comments likened the LASD to criminal gangs, with the response saying:
“She likes gang members?”
Another critic wrote:
“@KristenBell what’s your favorite LASD gang? I think the executioners are kind of your vibe.”
Others referred to the photo-op as a “big mistake” and said it was “awful to align with such evil.” Another message read:
“This sucks soooooo much, Kristen. Jesus Christ.”
Kristen is cooler than ever. Surprisingly, you can appreciate police and still hold them accountable- not all cops are bad and not all people are good.

Another critic tweeted:
“I’ll forgive her. Based on the pic she looks a little stoned. I’m guessing a few selfies are easier to deal with than a pot arrest. Even for the super privileged. But seriously, @KristenBell please look into LASD gangs.”
Several others defended Bell and the deputies, with one user commenting that anyone offended by the photos should “seek a good therapist and get help with getting on with their lives.” Another person commented:
“Not sure what’s happening here with the controversy, but she’s supporting the community. Whoever is offended by this needs a new hobby.”
One user tweeted that there was absolutely “nothing wrong” with the photos, adding:
“There are plenty of good police officers. Perhaps it’s time to stop making martyrs out of criminals and blaming the police for doing their jobs. This country is so backwards in their thinking, it’s really damn sad.”
This is how sick and depraved our culture and #media have become, creating a “backlash” against a celebrity for merely posing for photos with the police!@themrc @TimJGraham @MattWalshBlog

Comments on the LASD Instagram page were also mostly positive, with one user writing:
“Kindness and a down to earth person.”
Another person wrote:
“That’s outstanding. I heard she was an absolute genuine lady.”
Another wrote:
“Kudos to her and the deputies! Thank you for being there and doing a tough job especially during these times.”
Bell has been a vocal supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement in the past.
In 2020, the actress co-authored a children’s book titled, The World Needs More Purple People, which is about “embracing what makes YOU special while finding common ground with those around you,” including reaching “beyond the political divide of red and blue.”
This is where the extreme left-wing of this country is these days. Slamming people for being kind to the police. How pathetic.

The book soared to the New York Times Best Seller List. She is set to release a sequel called The World Needs More Purple Schools on June 21, 2022.
In addition to the comments on Twitter criticizing Bell, several people told her to Google “LASD gangs” and many made sardonic comments asking if they tried to recruit her, including:
“Did you make Kristen and honorary member of the Rattlesnakes deputy gang?”
Editor note: In 2020, we saw a nationwide push to “defund the police”. While we all stood here shaking our heads wondering if these people were serious… they cut billions of dollars in funding for police officers.
And as a result, crime has skyrocketed – all while the same politicians who said “you don’t need guns, the government will protect you” continued their attacks on both our police officers and our Second Amendment rights.
And that’s exactly why we’re launching this national crowdfunding campaign as part of our efforts to help “re-fund the police”.

Far-left Hollywood celebrities attack Kyle Rittenhouse after he breaks down in sobs on the stand
November 12th, 2021
According to reports, left-wing Hollywood celebrities and elites are slamming Kyle Rittenhouse after the 18-year-old broke down on the witness stand on Wednesday, November 10th, calling him a “terrible (expletive) actor” and claiming that he is benefitting from “white male privilege.”
Kyle Rittenhouse is a murderer. The End .

They are also attacking Kenosha County Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder for repeatedly admonishing the prosecution, claiming he is “biased” and even “deplorable.”
Celebrities including Dave Bautista, George Takei, Rosanna Arquette, Vincent D’Onofrio, and Padma Lakshmi have each taken hits on the 18-year-old defendant during his trial for the murder of two people when a Black Lives Matter protest turned violent in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Bautista tweeted:
“(Expletive) that kid!”
Arquette proclaimed:
“Kyle Rittenhouse is a murderer. The End.”
Takei wrote:
“A deplorable example, indeed.”
Reportedly, Rittenhouse’s lawyers have argued that he acted in self-defense when he shot and killed two men, then wounded another while he was defending his business in Kenosha from rioters.
Gaige Grosskreutz, a witness for the prosecution, admitted under oath that Rittenhouse only shot him when he pointed a pistol at the teen and advanced toward him.
Tears ≠ Remorse
Breaking down like Rittenhouse and Kavanaugh are merely pleas for sympathy and leniency. Nothing more.
— Gennefer Gross (@Gennefer) November 10, 2021
As the trial appeared to overwhelmingly favor Rittenhouse, celebrities have shifted into overdrive, attempting to sway public opinion that Rittenhouse is a “murderer.”
Bautista responded to a photo allegedly showing Rittenhouse making an “OK” sign with his hand, which leftists allege is a white supremacy signal. He wrote:
“Like I said, (expletive) that kid!”
Actress Rosanna Arquette, who once compared U.S. law enforcement to the “Gestapo,” called Rittenhouse a “murderer.” Star Trek veteran George Takei tweeted:
“If you want to see how justice often leans hard toward privilege, watch the judge in the Rittenhouse case. A deplorable example, indeed.”
AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead guest star Kevin Zegers accused Rittenhouse of faking his breakdown on the witness stand. He tweeted:
“This is how the first fake of a crying scene can look. Weeks of anxiety to push the tears out and you come up empty.”
In a since-deleted tweet, Epix’s Godfather of Harlem star Vincent D’Onofrio echoed Zeger’s claim that Rittenhouse was fake-crying. He wrote:
“Personally, I’ve never seen acting like that from you, but yes some less experienced actors. OOF! You are spot on Kevin.”
I don’t know if Kyle Rittenhouse was fake crying.
I do know that he crossed state lines and shot three people, killing two of them.
I also know that if he weren’t white, he probably wouldn’t be on trial. Because he’d be dead.

Bravo’s Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi snarked that America needs to re-define what it means to be a “promising young man.” She tweeted:
“Time for America to redefine what it means to be a ‘promising young man.’”
Universal’s The Fast and the Furious actor Chad Lindberg called Rittenhouse a “murdered” and a “terrible (expletive) actor.” Actress Katy Stoll tweeted:
“Everyone judging Kyle Rittenhouse’s performance today. Guys, he isn’t an actor – he’s a murderer, give him a break.”
Comedian and actor Gianmarco Soresi also accused Rittenhouse of bad acting. He tweeted:
“Kyle Rittenhouse’s acting is so bad that if he gets through this he should consider musical theater.”
Deadline editor and reporter Dominic Patten accused Rittenhouse of faking his breakdown on the witness stand, tweeting:
“Bad acting coach, crocodile tears — but perfect for Judge to give Rittenhouse a stern slap on the wrist & proclaim justice is done. Ain’t that America?”

CBS’s Blood and Treasure producer Matthew Federman tweeted:
“Having Kavanaugh confirmation hearing flashbacks from seeing clips of Rittenhouse’s performance. Do self-victimizing white dues all go to the same acting coach?”
TV writer Bryan Behar, who wrote for Netflix’s Fuller House, accused Rittenhouse of being a murdered and flashing a “white power” sign.” He wrote:
“Kyle Rittenhouse flashing a “White Power” sign is definitely a bad look. So is murdering people.”
