I'm just shocked "Jada, love ya, GI Jane 2, can't wait to see it" got a laugh, let alone a violent reaction.
It was barely a joke. "Your hair is short now, must be for a role." It certainly wasn't mean spirited.
Rock said worse when he hosted the Oscars in 2016. Gervais has said worse at literally every hosting opportunity he's had.
The only person who crossed a line or looks like a loser is Will Smith.
Of course, this has led to a wave of possibly the dumbest, most annoying people co-opting this into some commentary on their personal gripes with society. Everything from commentary about spousal and parental abuse, trans rights, political correctness, war, etc. Sometimes a thing that happens is just a thing that happens and doesn't need to be related in an abstract way to something else going on in the world to prove your point. It's petty and dumb.
