Somy Ali On Will Smith Slapping Chris Rock: Once You Choose To Be A Celebrity, You Will Forever Be Trolled

Actor Salman Khan바카라s former girlfriend Somy Ali speaks up about the recent slap gate at the Oscar 2022 where actor Will Smith went on stage and slapped actor-comedian Chris Rock.

Actress Somy Ali, who was dating actor Salman Khan back in the 1990s, has never been one to mince her words. Talking about the recent incident at the Oscars where Hollywood actor Will Smith slapped actor-comedian Chris Rock since the latter made fun of Will Smith바카라s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith's health condition, Ali says that she stands divided on the matter.

바카라I have two opinions on this: The joke was in extremely poor taste given Smith바카라s wife바카라s struggle with alopecia. My second opinion is that violence begets violence and hate begets hate. Therefore, I do not condone violence in any situation as I am a pacifist myself. There could have been many ways to handle this on Smith바카라s end and it shows Rock바카라s class by not filing charges. Again, I am not in any shape or form saying that his joke was not hurtful to Jada, but if you notice Smith first laughed at it and then took action. This depicts that he found out funny and then realised his wife바카라s condition and suddenly decided to do something about it with no rationality whatsoever,바카라 says Ali, who runs an NGO 바카라No More Tears바카라 in the US which helps victims of domestic violence and abuse.

She says that as celebrities, it바카라s important to accept that you will be trolled or joked about. 바카라Once you are a celebrity and you choose to be one, you will forever be trolled, made fun of, bullied and, yes, be the joke of the party or award shows. There is simply no escaping that if you choose the fame game. It바카라s part of the territory and we see it daily on celebrities globally on their social media. I have been away from the industry for 20 years and now when I decide to speak my truth because I am now ready and it바카라s my choice to speak up when I wish to do so. I have been getting the most disgusting messages and sadly the majority of them are from women,바카라 she says.

She adds, 바카라Well, here바카라s one of my favourite quotes: 바카라Laugh loudly, laugh often, and most importantly laugh at yourself바카라- Chelsea Handler. If you can바카라t laugh at yourself, you are devoid of humility in my opinion.바카라

Ask her where she thinks people should draw the line with jokes, and she says, 바카라I think celebrities바카라 children should never bear the brunt of the jokes, children should always be left out of it. Jokes about rape, sexual assault, child abuse, and domestic violence cross the line for me. That바카라s absolutely unacceptable for me.바카라
