What I find incredible is he was able to then go and sit back down and even get up to collect an award later on in the night.
There was security and police at the event that just witnessed an assault and did nothing.
Why are these people above the law? Why does the fact they are in a movie mean they are allowed to behave this way without consequence, and often with understanding and even praise.
These things hosted by comedians will pick on a random celebrity in the audience and tell a joke at their expense. If you don’t think you will react well to those jokes and be compelled to attack the comedian, just don’t go.
He should have been led away in handcuffs.

It was a publicity set up
Having had time to think about it I agree.
The whole thing makes no sense. He was laughing at the joke, Chris Rock was laughing as Will smith approached (indicating that Will Smith was not exactly raging as he approached)...Then smith slaps him, if you had lost your temper you wouldn't be smacking the bloke who just insulted your missus, you would be punching him...Will smith was smiling as he walked away...and then Chris Rock basically laughs it off, if somebody had just hit me in front of millions of people it would take wild horses to pull me off him.
...more Hollywood bullshit. Like Hulk Hogan Vs Ultimate Warrior.

Totally agree, Smith stamps his foot to cover the sound of the "slap" Done purely to get publicity for failing ceremony that most people dont give 4X about. Both actors done the mock slap hundreds of times. Can't believe how many gullible people there are about.
Never knew getting old would happen so quick!

Don’t think people are upset as such, just shocked how there seems to be a double standard in behaviour between different groups of people.
It’s a perfect and brazen embodiment of it that played out in front of our eyes, what’s even more shocking is people who are usually the first to stand up for this sort of class division, are completely fine with it.
This is the exact reason why there is a depraved side of Hollywood and why the likes of Jimmy Savile was allowed to get away with his assaults. I always remember the video of him hosting TotP and groping that girl who was clearly uncomfortable, but hey he’s a celebrity right?
These actions should not be excused or condoned. They have a privileged position and need to be setting an example. Thumping someone because they got offended is really not the example to send to the world when you are claiming to be “a vessel of love”.

Absolutely no chance that was faked.
I’m amazed at how many people are so willing to jump into conspiracy land at the drop of a hat. Nothing fake about that at all, apart from Smiths anger.
She has been demasculating him for years saying he’s not a man and he doesn’t provide her with what she needs. She cheated on him and told him to grow up for being angry about it and blamed him. She’s a vile piece of work.
This is the result. He laughed at the joke and saw the daggers in her eyes, this was a product of him being told he’s not a man for years on end to the point of near suicide according to him. This is no publicity stunt, this is a very dark situation and you are seeing a man going through some kind of an episode. I assure you of that.

Well I have watched and watched that video and it is imposible to tell if there was any actual contact, Smith definitely seems to lean back and not forward during the action. These people are completely used to stage fighting. With all the cameras there are ther any other angles?

For what benefit? It’s not a movie to promote. It’s the Oscars, of which neither are affiliated.
In fact, Smith boycotted them not so long ago.
Rock and Smith have some long running back and forth. Last time Rock hosted he made another joke about Jada.
It doesn’t do the Smith or Rock brand any good to be related to violence. You think Will Smith is going to be offered to do any more kids movies now he’s been seen to defend violence? Not a chance.
Sponsorships for the Oscars who have now been forced to defend their stance on violence and denounce what happened. Nobody wins here.
Tonight was a disaster for Smith professionally despite winning the most highly regarded award. Pretty ironic.

I don't watch the oscars. Come to that I don't watch any awards shows. They are full of crap, generally speaking.
Nor I , too busy living a life to spend time watching luvvies swooning over each other . As P.T. Barnum once said, “There's no such thing as bad publicity,”

Absolutely real and completely indefensible. What a weak, lapdog of a man. Smith didn't stamp his foot and correctly rotated his body to achieve a powerful slap. Honestly, some people on here make me laugh.
If anyone here thinks physical violence is an appropriate retort for a joke, however offensive, then they are equally weak.
Smith could have easily asked for an apology online, and raised awareness about his wife's condition at the same time. Imagine is Rock was a woman? How is this at all acceptable? The fact that Rock is a black man seemingly makes this easier to dismiss. He should have his award revoked.

I thought it was staged when I first saw it this morning. Mainly because only a couple of days ago I'd heard that the viewing figures for the Oscars had halved in recent years. Probably down to the woke nature of the event! It looked like it was staged to get people talking about it again.
Having seen the video and learned a bit more about Mrs Smith, it does look like he's a bit hen-pecked and could do with growing some balls! And his bitch slap was pretty pathetic!
More like G.I. Joan Collins!

That was not a fake slap actually Rock took it quite well, would have looked great if he countered with a left hook and layed out Smith, would have probably done his career a world of good and provided great entertainment for us.

I’d like to have seen the reaction if it was Mel Gibson who got up on stage and assaulted the host.
He wouldn’t have been able to take his seat again before getting thrown out and we would be hearing for weeks on end what an awful person he is.
Smith gets a free pass… and an award.
Wonder if Smith will be cancelled for his violent attack? Or does it only apply to people who support free speech and speak out against the woke agenda or the woke version of the truth.

He’s a proud member of the woke brigade, he’s untouchable.
Him displaying toxic masculinity, violence against someone who has been a life long victim of bullying and also playing into male stereotypes by assuming Jada couldn’t stand up for herself… will be neatly swept under the carpet and he will be hailed a model husband.
The bloke is unhinged and should be in a cell. Probably a padded one.

I used to quite like Will Smith, from the Fresh Prince through to "The pursuit of Happyness" I thought he did some good stuff. In more recent times though he has been in some utter trash like "The Gemini man" and "After Earth" that combined with his eagerness to share every grotty little detail of his life put me right off. It's like he's desperate to stay in the spotlight by whatever means. Well the spotlight is definitely back on him again.
