There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.”

Still triggered and traumatized.
I love my friend Chris Rock and believe he handled it like a pro.
Stayed up there and gave an Oscar to his friendQuestloveand the whole thing was so disturbing.
So much pain in Will Smith anyway I’m still in shock and stunned and sad.
Im proud of myself and my cohosts.
Waiting for this sickening feeling to go away from what we all witnessed.”
