<p>Bindi Irwin, an Australian conservationist, television personality, and actress, has revealed that she has suffered from a condition called endometriosis. She shared a photo of herself lying on a hospital bed on Instagram and said she struggled with whether she should share her journey in a public space. She concluded that she has a responsibility to share her story with women who need help. "For 10yrs I’ve struggled with insurmountable fatigue, pain &amp; nausea. Trying to remain a positive person &amp; hide the pain has been a very long road. These last 10yrs have included many tests, doctors visits, scans, etc," she wrote.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bindi said that a doctor told her that this is something she has to deal with as a woman and she was on the verge of giving up, trying to brave through her pain. But it was a friend who helped "set me on a path of regaining my life. I decided to undergo surgery for endometriosis. Going in for surgery was scary but I knew I couldn’t live like I was. Every part of my life was getting torn apart because of the pain. To cut a long story short, they found 37 lesions, some very deep &amp; difficult to remove, &amp; a chocolate cyst."</p>

<p>She added that she is aware of millions of women struggling with a similar story and said a stigma surrounds this "awful" disease. She said the purpose of sharing her story was for anyone who needed to hear that and is silently undergoing a lot of pain.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Endometriosis is a chronic and painful condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside of the uterus, typically on other organs in the pelvis, such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and bowel. The tissue can also grow outside of the pelvic region. During a normal menstrual cycle, the endometrial tissue inside the uterus thickens, breaks down, and is shed during menstruation. In women with endometriosis, the displaced endometrial tissue continues to respond to hormones and can cause inflammation, scarring, and the formation of adhesions or cysts.</p>

<p>Endometriosis affects an estimated 1 in 10 women of reproductive age and is one of the leading causes of infertility. Symptoms may include severe pelvic pain, painful periods, pain during sex, digestive issues, and infertility. However, some women may experience no symptoms at all.</p>

<p>There is no known cure as such for endometriosis, but treatments such as pain medication, hormonal therapy, and surgery can help manage symptoms and improve fertility. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for reducing the impact of endometriosis on a woman's quality of life.</p>

Understand endometriosis: The painful condition afflicting Bindi Irwin

<p>“A toast to the disruptors,” Edward Norton’s tech billionaire says in Rian Johnson’s Oscar-nominated <em>Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.</em></p>

<p>And why not a toast? Sunday’s Academy Awards won’t give a prize for best villain, but if they did, Miles Bron would win it in a walk. (With apologies to the cloud of Nope.) He is an immediately recognisable type we’ve grown well acquainted with: a visionary (or so everyone says), a social media narcissist, a self-styled disrupter who talks a lot about “breaking stuff.”</p>

<p>Miles Bron is just the latest in a long line of Hollywood’s favorite villain: the tech bro. Looking north to Silicon Valley, the movie industry has found perhaps its richest resource of big-screen antagonists since Soviet-era Russia.</p>

<p>Also Read: <strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-glass-onion-movie-review-knives-out-sequel-is-a-delicious-wickedly-funny-whodunit-546109"><em>Glass Onion</em> movie review: 'Knives Out' sequel is a delicious, wickedly funny whodunit</a></strong></p>

<p>Great movie villains don’t come along often. The best-picture nominated <em>Top Gun: Maverick</em>, like its predecessor, was content to battle with a faceless enemy of unspecified nationality. Why antagonise international ticket buyers when Tom Cruise vs. Whomever works just fine?</p>

<p>But in recent years, the tech bro has proliferated on movie screens as Hollywood’s go-to bad guy. It’s a rise that has mirrored mounting fears over technology’s expanding reach into our lives and increasing skepticism for the not-always-altruistic motives of the men – and it is mostly men – who control today’s digital empires.</p>

<p>We’ve had the devious Biosyn Genetics CEO (Campbell Scott) in <em>Jurassic World: Dominion</em>, a franchise dedicated to the peril of tech overreach; Chris Hemsworth’s biotech overlord in <em>Spiderhead</em>; and Mark Rylance’s maybe-Earth-destroying tech guru in 2021′s <em>Don’t Look Up</em>. We’ve had Eisenberg, again, as a tech bro-styled Lex Luthor in 2016′s <em>Batman v. Superman</em>; Harry Melling’s pharmaceutical entrepreneur in 2020’s <em>The Old Guard</em>; Taika Waititi’s rule-breaking videogame mogul in 2021′s <em>Free Guy</em>; Oscar Isaac’s search engine CEO in 2014′s <em>Ex Machina; </em>and the critical portrait of the Apple co-founder in 2015′s <em>Steve Jobs.</em></p>

<p>Also Read:&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-glass-onion-director-rian-johnson-on-parallels-between-elon-musk-and-miles-bron-it%E2%80%99s-very-bizarre-547539"><em>Glass Onion</em>&nbsp;director Rian Johnson on parallels between Elon Musk and Miles Bron: 'It’s very bizarre'</a></strong></p>

<p>Kids movies, too, regularly channel parental anxieties about technology’s impact on children. In 2021′s <em>The Mitchells vs. the Machines,</em>&nbsp;a newly launched AI brings about a robot apocalypse. <em>Ron’s Gone Wrong</em> (2021) also used a robot metaphor for smartphone addiction. And TV series have just as aggressively rushed to dramatise Big Tech blunders. Recent entries include: Uber’s Travis Kalanick in Showtime’s <em>Super Pumped; </em>Theranos’ Elizabeth Holmes in Hulu’s<em> The Dropout;</em> and WeWork’s Adam and Rebekah Neumann in Apple TV’s<em> We Crashed.</em></p>

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"><iframe allowfullscreen="" autoplay="1" class="includeVideo" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.wionews.com/videos/dave-franco-speaks-to-wion-560597/embed" style="width:100%;max-width:560px;" width="560"></iframe></div>

<p>Some of these portrayals you could chalk up to Hollywood jealousy over the emergence of another California epicenter of innovation. But those worlds merged long ago. Many of the companies that released these movies are disrupters, themselves — none more than Netflix, distributor of <em>Glass Onion</em>. The streamer was cajoled into releasing Johnson’s sequel more widely in theaters than any previous Netflix release. Estimates suggested the film collected some $15 million over opening weekend, the old-fashioned way, but Netflix executives have said they don’t plan to make a habit of such theatrical rollouts.</p>

<p>And the distrust goes deeper than any Hollywood-Silicon Valley rivalry. A recent Quinnipiac poll found that 70% of Americans think social media companies do more harm than good. Tech leaders like Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg have at times been seen favorably by only 1 in 5 Americans.</p>

<p>As characters, tech bros — hoodie-wearing descendants of the mad scientist — have formed an archetype: Masters of the universe whose hubris leads to catastrophe, social media savants who can’t manage their personal relationships. Whether their visions of the future pan out or not, we end up living in their world, either way. They’re villains who see themselves as heroes.</p>

<p>“In my mind, he’s really the most dangerous human being around,” Rylance says of his Peter Isherwell. “He believes that we can dominate our way out of any problem that nature hands us. I think that’s the same kind of thinking that’s got us into the problem we’re in now, trying to dominate each other and dominate all the life we’re intimately connected to and dependent on.”</p>

<p>Glass Onion, nominated for best adapted screenplay, presents a new escalation in tech mogul mockery. Norton’s eminently punchable CEO, with a name so nearly “Bro,” is enormously rich, powerful, and, considering that he’s working on a volatile new energy source, dangerous. But Bron is also, as Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc eventually deduces, an idiot. “A vainglorious buffoon,” Blanc says.</p>

<p>In Johnson’s film, the tech bro/emperor bro truly has no clothes. He’s just skating by with lies, deceit, and a bunch of not-real words like “predefinite” and “inbreathiate.”</p>

<p>Even though Johnson wrote <em>Glass Onion&nbsp;</em>well before Elon Musk’s shambolic Twitter takeover, the movie’s release seemed almost preternaturally timed to coincide with it. The Tesla and SpaceX chief executive was only one of Johnson’s real-world inspirations, some took Bron as a direct Musk parody. In a widely read Twitter thread, conservative commentator Ben Shapiro said Johnson was dramatising Musk as “a bad and stupid man,” which he called “an incredibly stupid theory, since Musk is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in human history.” He added: “How many rockets has Johnson launched lately?”</p>

“A toast to the disruptors,” Edward Norton’s tech billionaire says in Rian Johnson’s Oscar-nominated Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. And why not a toast? Sunday’s Academy Awards won’t give a prize for best villain, but if they did, Miles Bron would win it in a walk.

“A toast to the disruptors,” Edward Norton’s tech billionaire says in Rian Johnson’s Oscar-nominated Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. And why not a toast? Sunday’s Academy Awards won’t give a prize for best villain, but if they did, Miles Bron would win it in a walk. (With apologies to the cloud of Nope.) He is an immediately recognisable type we’ve grown well acquainted with: a visionary (or so everyone says), a social media narcissist, a self-styled disrupter who talks a lot about “breaking stuff.” Miles Bron is just the latest in a long line of Hollywood’s favorite villain: the tech bro. Looking north to Silicon Valley, the movie industry has found perhaps its richest resource of big-screen antagonists since Soviet-era Russia. Also Read: Glass Onion movie review: 'Knives Out' sequel is a delicious, wickedly funny whodunit Great movie villains don’t come along often. The best-picture nominated Top Gun: Maverick, like its predecessor, was content to battle with a faceless enemy of unspecified nationality. Why antagonise international ticket buyers when Tom Cruise vs. Whomever works just fine? But in recent years, the tech bro has proliferated on movie screens as Hollywood’s go-to bad guy. It’s a rise that has mirrored mounting fears over technology’s expanding reach into our lives and increasing skepticism for the not-always-altruistic motives of the men – and it is mostly men – who control today’s digital empires. We’ve had the devious Biosyn Genetics CEO (Campbell Scott) in Jurassic World: Dominion, a franchise dedicated to the peril of tech overreach; Chris Hemsworth’s biotech overlord in Spiderhead; and Mark Rylance’s maybe-Earth-destroying tech guru in 2021′s Don’t Look Up. We’ve had Eisenberg, again, as a tech bro-styled Lex Luthor in 2016′s Batman v. Superman; Harry Melling’s pharmaceutical entrepreneur in 2020’s The Old Guard; Taika Waititi’s rule-breaking videogame mogul in 2021′s Free Guy; Oscar Isaac’s search engine CEO in 2014′s Ex Machina; and the critical portrait of the Apple co-founder in 2015′s Steve Jobs. Also Read: Glass Onion director Rian Johnson on parallels between Elon Musk and Miles Bron: 'It’s very bizarre' Kids movies, too, regularly channel parental anxieties about technology’s impact on children. In 2021′s The Mitchells vs. the Machines, a newly launched AI brings about a robot apocalypse. Ron’s Gone Wrong (2021) also used a robot metaphor for smartphone addiction. And TV series have just as aggressively rushed to dramatise Big Tech blunders. Recent entries include: Uber’s Travis Kalanick in Showtime’s Super Pumped; Theranos’ Elizabeth Holmes in Hulu’s The Dropout; and WeWork’s Adam and Rebekah Neumann in Apple TV’s We Crashed. Some of these portrayals you could chalk up to Hollywood jealousy over the emergence of another California epicenter of innovation. But those worlds merged long ago. Many of the companies that released these movies are disrupters, themselves — none more than Netflix, distributor of Glass Onion. The streamer was cajoled into releasing Johnson’s sequel more widely in theaters than any previous Netflix release. Estimates suggested the film collected some $15 million over opening weekend, the old-fashioned way, but Netflix executives have said they don’t plan to make a habit of such theatrical rollouts. And the distrust goes deeper than any Hollywood-Silicon Valley rivalry. A recent Quinnipiac poll found that 70% of Americans think social media companies do more harm than good. Tech leaders like Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg have at times been seen favorably by only 1 in 5 Americans. As characters, tech bros — hoodie-wearing descendants of the mad scientist — have formed an archetype: Masters of the universe whose hubris leads to catastrophe, social media savants who can’t manage their personal relationships. Whether their visions of the future pan out or not, we end up living in their world, either way. They’re villains who see themselves as heroes. “In my mind, he’s really the most dangerous human being around,” Rylance says of his Peter Isherwell. “He believes that we can dominate our way out of any problem that nature hands us. I think that’s the same kind of thinking that’s got us into the problem we’re in now, trying to dominate each other and dominate all the life we’re intimately connected to and dependent on.” Glass Onion, nominated for best adapted screenplay, presents a new escalation in tech mogul mockery. Norton’s eminently punchable CEO, with a name so nearly “Bro,” is enormously rich, powerful, and, considering that he’s working on a volatile new energy source, dangerous. But Bron is also, as Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc eventually deduces, an idiot. “A vainglorious buffoon,” Blanc says. In Johnson’s film, the tech bro/emperor bro truly has no clothes. He’s just skating by with lies, deceit, and a bunch of not-real words like “predefinite” and “inbreathiate.” Even though Johnson wrote Glass Onion well before Elon Musk’s shambolic Twitter takeover, the movie’s release seemed almost preternaturally timed to coincide with it. The Tesla and SpaceX chief executive was only one of Johnson’s real-world inspirations, some took Bron as a direct Musk parody. In a widely read Twitter thread, conservative commentator Ben Shapiro said Johnson was dramatising Musk as “a bad and stupid man,” which he called “an incredibly stupid theory, since Musk is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in human history.” He added: “How many rockets has Johnson launched lately?” Hollywood refuses to write even one story about an actual company startup where the CEO isn’t a dweeb and/or evil — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 25, 2022 Musk, himself, hasn’t publicly commented on Glass Onion, but he has previously had numerous gripes with Hollywood, including its depictions of guys like him. “Hollywood refuses to write even one story about an actual company startup where the CEO isn’t a dweeb and/or evil,” Musk tweeted last year.

Tech Bros: Hollywood's favorite villains

<p>Turkish actress Birsen Berrak Tuzunatac has won a case at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) regarding a video of her kissing another celebrity on a terrace at her home, reported news agency AFP. The kiss was secretly filmed and later broadcast on a television channel. Birsen,&nbsp;a film and TV actress, had filed a suit in 2010 in the country against the parent company of the channel that had broadcast the video of the kiss. Her claim of breach of the right to privacy was dismissed by an Istanbul court, stating that she was filmed from the street so there had been no encroachment on her private property. The ruling was upheld by Turkey's Court of Cassation and its Constitutional Court.</p>

<p>Now, Birsen has emerged victorious in a case heard by the ECHR, which condemned Turkey for failing to protect her private life. The ECHR ruled that despite their celebrity status, an individual's love life is considered strictly private, and that the video in question appeared to serve only the purpose of satisfying the curiosity of a particular audience.</p>

Turkish actress Birsen Berrak Tuzunatac has won a case at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) regarding a video of her kissing another celebrity on a terrace at her home, reported news agency AFP.

Turkish actress Birsen Berrak Tuzunatac has won a case at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) regarding a video of her kissing another celebrity on a terrace at her home, reported news agency AFP. The kiss was secretly filmed and later broadcast on a television channel. Birsen, a film and TV actress, had filed a suit in 2010 in the country against the parent company of the channel that had broadcast the video of the kiss. Her claim of breach of the right to privacy was dismissed by an Istanbul court, stating that she was filmed from the street so there had been no encroachment on her private property. The ruling was upheld by Turkey's Court of Cassation and its Constitutional Court. Now, Birsen has emerged victorious in a case heard by the ECHR, which condemned Turkey for failing to protect her private life. The ECHR ruled that despite their celebrity status, an individual's love life is considered strictly private, and that the video in question appeared to serve only the purpose of satisfying the curiosity of a particular audience. Who is Birsen Berrak Tuzunatac? Birsen is a Turkish actress, born on December 2, 1984 in Istanbul, Turkey. She began her career in acting in 2005, with her debut in the Turkish TV series Kadin Isterse (If a woman wants). She gained popularity with her performances in other Turkish TV series such as Ask Geliyorum Demez (Love Does Not Say I'm Coming) and Aci Hayat (Bitter Life). View this post on Instagram A post shared by Birsen Berrak Tuzunatac (@berrocks) She has also acted in a number of Turkish films, including Gecenin Kanatlari (Wings of the Night) and Kalbim Seni Seçti (My Heart Chose You). In addition to acting, she has also lent her voice to various dubbing projects, such as the Turkish version of the Hollywood animated movie Bolt. She has won numerous awards for her performances, including the Golden Butterfly Award for Best Actress in a TV series. She has also been recognised for her philanthropic efforts, particularly in raising awareness about education for girls in rural areas of Turkey.

<p>Los Angeles Times critic Katie Walsh tweeted, "I really liked #JohnWick4! Amazing to remember that big franchise blockbusters can look like this (good).

<p>Collider's Steven Weintraub wrote, "#JohnWickChapter4 is f*cking awesome. Literally had to pick my jaw off the ground from some of the insane and inventive set pieces.

<p>CinemaBlend's Eric Eisenberg wrote, "I had reservations about John Wick: Chapter 4's nearly three hour runtime, but the movie earns it. It's an epic with smart pacing that never lets the action feel exhausting, and the set pieces are phenomenal. Great cast of series newcomers, but Donnie Yen is the MVP. #JohnWick4"</p>

<p>Digital Spy's Ian Sandwell wrote, "John Wick: Chapter 4 is absolutely HUGE. Yes, it's long, but its outrageously good set pieces more than make up for it.

John Wick 4 early reactions: Another winner for Keanu Reeves?

<p>When marine biologist Maxim Chakilev flings open the door of his ramshackle Siberian hut in the Oscar-nominated short documentary <em>Haulout </em>to find 100,000 honking and heaving walruses, the effect is breathtakingly cinematic. For almost two minutes, the screen is crowded with jostling animals, their guttural snorts filling the soundtrack and putting the viewer right in the middle of an astonishing natural spectacle. The scene, the centrepiece of a 25-minute film on how climate change affects the natural world, illustrates how short documentaries have exploded as an art form — and why big guns like The New Yorker and Netflix are getting involved.</p>

<p>"Video is a very powerful medium, and right now, this is how many people get their information about the world," Soo-Jeong Kang, executive director of programming and development at The New Yorker, told AFP.</p>

<p>"Traditional media companies are increasingly recognising this as both a way to reach new audiences and as a profound storytelling platform."</p>

<p>The almost language-free <em>Haulout</em>, produced by brother-sister team Maxim Arbugaev and Evgenia Arbugaeva, who spent three months living in Chakilev's rudimentary hut, is exactly the kind of top-notch content that dovetails with The New Yorker's high-brow fiction and deep-dive reporting, Kang said.</p>

<p>Hit Japanese manga<em> One Piece</em> is coming to Netflix as a live-action series — a development that’s both exciting and worrisome for fans who have seen mixed success in a growing list of Hollywood adaptations.</p>

<p>Chronicling the coming-of-age adventures of Monkey D. Luffy, a young pirate with a heart of gold, the world’s bestselling manga series has already been adapted into an anime TV series with over 900 episodes. There are also 13 animated movies, <em>One Piece </em>video games, and merchandise galore.</p>

<p>Ready to give her verdict is Nina Oiki, a gender and politics researcher at Tokyo’s Waseda University who has been a <em>One Piece</em> fan since she was in elementary school. She read the manga created by Eiichiro Oda when it first came out in Shonen Jump magazine in 1997, and watched the animated show that followed shortly after.</p>

<p>“I know some people are worried about what might happen with the Hollywood remake,” she said, noting how past American attempts at depicting Japanese comics and animated works have at times proved disappointing.</p>

<p>The 2017 Netflix movie adaptation of <em>Death Note,</em> a manga and anime about a book that can kill people, was widely critiqued as a flop. In December 2021, Netflix cancelled <em>Cowboy Bebop</em>, its live-action adaptation of the space Western manga and anime of the same name, after just one season.</p>

<p>The cross-pollination of Hollywood and Japan goes back for decades. References to Japan, such as the image of a geisha on a screen, are plentiful in the 1982 sci-fi movie <em>Blade Runner,</em> directed by Ridley Scott.</p>

<p>The film, in turn, influenced anime, including the <em>Blade Runner: Black Lotus </em>anime that first aired in 2021.</p>

<p>Japanese pop culture expert Roland Kelts says it’s a “stunning moment for anime,” in part due to streaming on platforms like Netflix, which has helped make entertainment borderless.</p>

<p>Live-action<em> One Piece, </em>expected later this year, comes on the heels of the global success of <em>Demon Slayer</em> another manga that got its start in Shonen Jump and was adapted into a movie and an anime series that was picked up by Netflix.</p>

<p>In February, The Pokémon Company announced <em>Pokémon Concierge</em>, a stop-motion anime collaboration with Netflix. <em>Pokémon </em>is the world’s most valuable media franchise with estimated all-time sales of $100 billion, according to a 2021 Statista report. Followed by Hello Kitty, the two Japanese products outrank Western offerings like<em> Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh,&nbsp;</em>and <em>Star Wars. </em>Hollywood live-action adaptations of other popular Japanese products — from Makoto Shinkai’s 2016 body-swap anime <em>Your Name</em> to the <em>Gundam </em>franchise of giant robots that started in 1979 — are also in progress.</p>

<p>Anime has a low production cost compared to live-action films, and computer-generated heroes don’t get sick or injured or make offensive remarks offscreen like real-life actors sometimes do, making it a marketable medium, said Kelts, author of Japanamerica, which documents Japanese pop culture’s influence in the United States.</p>

<p>“They are stylised and stateless characters. What I mean by that is that anime characters travel globally very, very well,” Kelts said. “The human celebrities don’t always travel so well.”</p>

<p>Established bestsellers offer the advantage of a built-in fanbase, but they also come with strict scrutiny. Some, like <em>Ghost in the Shell</em>,&nbsp;have been criticised for “whitewashing” the Asian original. The 1995 animated movie was made into a Hollywood live-action in 2017 amid complaints about casting white American actress Scarlett Johansson as the main character — though Asia largely stayed out of the debate.</p>

<p>Live-action <em>One Piece </em>will star Mexican actor Iñaki Godoy (<em>The Imperfects</em>) as Luffy — whose nationality is canonically a mystery — alongside American actor Emily Rudd (<em>The Romanoffs</em>) as Nami and Japanese-American actor Mackenyu (<em>Fullmetal Alchemist: Revenge of Scar, Fullmetal Alchemist: Final Transmutation</em>) as Roronoa Zoro.</p>

<p>The main character’s inclusive persona, drawing more and more companions to join his quest throughout the story, highlights the kind of school, office, or workplace environment people crave in modern-day society, fan Oiki said.</p>

<p>“Luffy is that leader we all want,” she said. “Luffy is a hero but not an extraordinary hero. He is one of us. He wants to be king of the pirates, but not so he can rule, but so everyone can be free.”</p>

<p><em>Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania</em> released last month to mixed to negative reviews. Along with Chloe Zhao's <em>Eternals</em>, it is the worst-reviewed movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It holds a score of 47 per cent on the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes. After the writer of the film, Jeff Loveness, responded to poor reviews, now Jonathan Majors, who played the Big Bad of the movie, Kang the Conqueror, has reacted. While speaking at IndieWire's Screen Talk podcast, Majors said, "It doesn’t change how I see myself, period. It’s all data. I’m a performance within a story."</p>

<p>He added, "One thing I will say to my team as we’re leaving a premiere if they’re reading reviews, I’ll say, ‘How’s the movie doing?’ I try to clean my plate and take care of my part. The response is: ‘You’re straight. You’re good. They like you.’ And they tell me about the movie. Sometimes the movie is also on that level, and sometimes [it’s not].”</p>

<p>He told The Daily Beast, "To be honest, those reviews took me by surprise. I was in a pretty low spot… Those were not good reviews, and I was like, ‘What the …?’"</p>

<p>He insisted that he is "proud of what I wrote for Jonathan [Majors] and Michelle Pfeiffer [scientist Janet Pym]. I thought that was good stuff, you know? And so I was just despondent, and I was really sad about it.”</p>

As per the New York Post, he hate-watched Smith's latest film, <em>Emancipation</em>, in which he essayed the role of Whipped Peter or Gordon, a slave whose whipped back was captured in an image and became a powerful symbol for abolitionists to illustrate the cruelty of slavery and to galvanise support for the Union cause during the American Civil War. While Smith's performance was praised by critics, the film as a whole was dismissed.</p>

<p>Addressing the 'slapgate' controversy and the film, Rock said, "The other day, I watched <em>Emancipation</em>&nbsp;just so I could watch him getting whipped.” Ouch.</p>

<h2>What is 'slapgate'?</h2>

<p>On March 27, 2022, during the Academy Awards ceremony, Smith did not like a joke made by presenter Rock at his wife Jada Pinkett Smith's expense. While referring to Jada, Rock said he can’t wait to see G.I. Jane 2. A 1997 war movie, <em>G.I. Jane,&nbsp;</em>had Demi Moore’s protagonist, a female Navy Seal, shaving her head. The joke seemingly targetted Jada’s lack of hair, which is due to the alopecia condition.</p>
