On the probability of it being staged my final thoughts on this whole asinine event and then I'm never thinking about it ever again:

1. Pfizer sponsors everything. Sports, news, awards. Sponsoring the Oscars is pennies for them.

2. There are already alopecia drugs.

3. There's only 1-2 in a thousand who suffer from her condition. That's not a big market. Even the larger market of male hair loss, there are already drugs DHT blockers etc. and hair restoration procedures. Compared to seasonal clot shots and "boosters" for tens of millions it's nothing for Pfizer.

4. They would have had to go through agents, managers, lawyers of Rock and Smith, in secret and probably paid them tens of millions each. Each have different agencies, managers, lawyers. That's a minimum of 20-30 people who would have to keep it secret along with anyone at Pfizer. It's ludicrous when you know how hollyweird works. It's a sieve of endless gossip.

5. Rock made a joke about Jada at the 2016 Oscars which was a 1000x worse and she hasn't forgiven him. The GI Jane joke was her showing us that she doesn't like Rock and playing the victim of her condition at the same time to gain sympathy.

6. See the above piece on cuckoldry and regret. It provides a reasonable and simple motive rooted in far too much time spent watching the couple confess their dirty secrets on Jada's stupid red table show on YT. It explains his actions, and inability to control himself in the moment. Go watch all those stupid one-on-one confessionals between the couple where they air all their dirty laundry for the world and you'll see how she manipulates him, how he allows her to play him and deflects with jokes, but you'll also see real pain in the man, and regret and a desire for her acceptance.

7. See Rock's reaction. It's authentic as hell. He yells, "Dude!" and then he fumbles the improv joke because he's clearly still in shock, "Uhhh, that' was the uhh greatest night in the history of television." Night? Then the awkward silence because he doesn't know what to do. If they rehearsed it and he knew it was coming then he would have not said "Dude" and would have had something prepared. He's either the greatest actor of all time, or it was real. If it was staged and he was acting, he should get Smith's award.

8. Not everything in the world is a big pharma conspiracy. It is good to be suspicious and on guard for staged events, I'm just not buying this one as staged.

Not another word from me on this topic ever. And now I'm off to take another bath.

Love your summation. Had to share a portion of it. Just too good. You’re an excellent writer.
