Will Smith slaps Chris Rock at the Oscars

[BlueHammer85]

Can’t help when I see it that Chris Rock is leaning forward preparing for that hit, and the hit looked acted - but the reaction from Will Smith after seems genuine.

Spot on.

Controversial comic known for making edgy and offensive jokes makes edgy and offensive joke. If you can't take it, don't go to the ceremony.

You (Or anyone here) are ok with your mrs being talked about like that? You'd laugh along at it and her with everyone else? No way for me.

Chris Rock would get an apology much quicker if he just fucked Will's wife.

Bit presumptuous - you might not have heard but men don’t have the right to behave in this way. Disgusting comment

Actors voluntarily go to an awards show where the host makes jokes about the audience.

This isn't bullying, he didn't accost them in the street, they decided to sit front row at a comedy gig knowing the host is paid to make fun of them.

If you can't take that, don't go. Don't sit in the front row.

This is the 3rd or 4th time Rock's done the show, so everyone knew what was coming. I just heard on the radio Pinkett-Smith has referred to her and Rock being friends in the past, so this isn't some random stranger coming up and abusing you, it's a friend telling a joke at your expense at a gig you came to knowing you'd get made fun of.

Will Smith spent 6 years making bald jokes in The Fresh Prince, it was their biggest and longest running gag. I imagine he's made a lot more hurtful jokes than Chris Rock's last night.

The right reaction is just to shake your head and show you felt it went too far, not laugh your head off initially and then assault someone when you realise your wife didn't like it and then say the devil made you do it later.

Imagine the reaction if it was a white actor slapping Rock.

that drop kick Smith apologised in his victory speech to everyone else but the only person he should have.

Rock did well not to make it an all in brawl and should have been given the best actor award given how crap the films this year were.

Perhaps Smith was told to do it in an effort to lift the ever flagging audience next year.

Should have given him a proper smack, rather than having his hand open when he hit him.

Of course not. But I'm not going to assault someone for talking shit, that's not the way I was brought up.

Will Smith literally did laugh at the joke along with everyone else until he realised it didn't go over well with her.

He did until his wife took offence and then carried on like the dork he is and made a complete ass of himself.

the offensive jokes he has told in his lifetime make Rock's remark pale into insignificance by comparison.

Then not enough with that preceded to abuse the host and cried the crocodile tears when he should have been shown the door and the Oscar given to someone who shows a modicum respect for the award.

if you condone violence like that then I wouldn't want to be around you if someone makes a remark in jest about your Mrs.

I'm not sure which on of us is more confused.

Laughing along or hitting the comedian aren't the only two possible options. He had the best possible platform to make his feelings known just 10 minutes later
