Fans react to Joe Rogan changing his stance on the Smith-Rock incident

Fans react to Joe Rogan’s admission that Will Smith can be forgiven for slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars. Here’s what they had to say:

One fan said: “He had to because if not then how can you forgive his friend Dana White.

Another fan said: “I have already forgotten about that and been reminded way too many times. Time to find some new news to talk about. In my opinion…

Not me. He isn’t truly remorseful. He was rewarded for his bad behavior

A fan stood with Smith: “Will had every right to address that situation!”

Move on kids

Another fan suggested a solution: “If will had a genuine private convo with Chris I’m sure Chris would forgive him and in turn the public/fans would be good too.
