So I kind of feel like there\u2019s an \u2014 I think there needs to be a lot of self-reflection in Hollywood,\u201d guest host Tara Setmayer said.<\/p>\n<p>Goldberg argued that the <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/will-smith-struck-chris-rock-in-the-face-at-oscars-after-he-cracked-a-joke-about-jada-pinkett-smiths-hair-loss\/\">situation unfolded<\/a> during a live event, and while the Academy has since suggested that it could have been handled better, it could be difficult to see all aspects of the situation as it was happening in real-time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut then they gave him a standing ovation though, Whoopi, which I think again goes back to why some people feel like Hollywood elites are a bunch of hypocrites. Because they go out there and give these statements of moral superiority about things, and political statements, and then they\u2019re standing \u2026 doing a standing ovation after he just assaulted Chris Rock!\u201d Setmayer continued.<\/p>\n<p>Goldberg argued that she, as a member of the so-called \u201cHollywood Elite\u201d herself, would not have chosen to stand for Smith after he struck Rock. She also noted that at events like the Oscars, sometimes standing to applaud was more of a reflex than a conscious decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just \u2014 I just want to stop with this \u2018elite\u2019 stuff because, you know, a lot of us work for a living. We work. We collect a check. We got families. We try to do the same thing, the good stuff that everybody else tries to do. And it really pisses me off when people start to talk about people who work in Hollywood, not just the actors, but all the other folks. So please when you are talking about actors, be specific,\u201d Goldberg concluded. \u201cIf you\u2019re pissed off about somebody or how they act, don\u2019t put it on all of us, cause that\u2019s like saying all black people like chicken.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Goldberg had <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/whoopi-has-a-whopper-of-an-excuse-for-why-oscars-let-will-smith-stay-after-slap\/\">previously suggested<\/a> that Smith had only been allowed to remain at the Oscars after the incident because the Academy did not want to address the optics of forcing a black man to leave.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reason they didn\u2019t go and take him out is because that would have been another 15 \u2014 20 minute explanation of why we\u2019re taking the black man out five seconds before they\u2019re about to decide whether he\u2019s won an Oscar or not,\u201d Goldberg said. \u201cSo that\u2019s, and I\u2019m going to say I believe Will Packer made the right decision. He said, let\u2019s get through the rest of this so we can deal with it wholeheartedly. So that\u2019s what went on. This is not the first time craziness has happened on stage, but this is the first time we\u2019ve seen anybody assault anybody on stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
