Morrissey responds to Will Smith Oscar slap with Smiths meme

Morrissey has responded to Will Smith‘s slapping of Chris Rock at this year’s Oscars by sharing a meme that references a song by The Smiths.During Sunday’s (March 27) ceremony, Smith walked on stage and slapped Rock following a joke the comedian made about Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head. In 2018, Pinkett Smith revealed she has alopecia.Numerous celebrities have since taken to social media to share their takes on the incident, including the likes of Zoë Kravitz, Amy Schumer, Jim Carrey and many more.Now, former Smiths frontman Morrissey has responded to the incident with a meme that includes the title to the band’s 1985 single ‘That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore’.Seemingly poking fun at the fact that both Will and Jada’s family name makes them ‘The Smiths’, Morrissey’s meme features a black and white image of Will, with his now infamous facial expression after shouting at Rock: “Keep my wife’s name out your fucking mouth!”Check out his post below:A post shared by Morrissey (@official_morrissey_central)The LAPD confirmed after the ceremony that Chris Rock is not planning on pressing charges against Will Smith over the incident.“LAPD investigative entities are aware of an incident between two individuals during the Academy Awards program,” a statement from the LAPD reads.“The incident involved one individual slapping another.

Johnny Marr says there’s “zero chance” he’ll work with Morrissey again

Johnny Marr has vowed to never work with his former The Smiths bandmate Morrissey again, following the latest war of words between the two musicians.Speaking to Steve Wright on BBC Radio 2, Marr said there was “zero” chance for him to resume a personal or professional relationship with Morrissey. He said that the last time they spoke was about “18 or maybe 15” years ago.The latest conflict between the two began when Morrissey asked Marr to stop mentioning him when giving interviews, in reference to an interview that Marr gave with Uncut.Morrissey posted a lengthy open letter in which he asked Marr: “Would you please, instead, discuss your own career, your own unstoppable solo achievements and your own music? If you can, would you please just leave me out of it?”Marr wrote his own Instagram post: “An ‘open letter’ hasn’t really been a thing since 1953, It’s all ‘social media’ now.

Even Donald J Trump had that one down. Also, this fake news business… a bit 2021 yeah?”Now, in a new interview with The Times, Marr was asked about his response to Morrissey to which he replied: “When you’re attacked out of the blue, particularly in public, you have to defend yourself.“The letter was designed to be insulting, wasn’t it? That has to have been the idea.

Johnny Marr: “The Smiths never fell out over politics, but we probably would now”

Johnny Marr says that The Smiths “never fell out over politics,” but that they “probably would now.”Marr and songwriting partner Morrissey have had a number of high-profile beefs in the press since the band split up in the late 1980s, with Morrissey most recently asking Marr to stop mentioning him when giving interviews.In a new interview with The Guardian, Marr was posed questions by fans and celebrities about The Smiths, his solo work and beyond.In the interview, Marr was asked by Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham: “Did the Smiths ever fall out over football or politics?”Marr replied: “We never discussed football so that’s that. And we never fell out over politics, but we probably would now.”A subsequent question from a fan then said: “Morrissey’s recent political views have cast a shadow over the Smiths for me – reaching back into the past and tainting something that was very important to me. I’m so disappointed in him.
