1. It is Will Smith. 2. He’s black 3. Automatically excused. If a white man slapped Chris Rock, the SWAT team, FBI, Navy Seals, and all branches of Military would have carried the white guy out by his hair.

Chris Rock should press charges and Smith’s award should be taken away.

WCCO I would've had Will arrested on the spot.

Fake

People get shot and killed on the highway if you pass there vehicle to close. If you look at man's wife you can get shot and killed. Impulse sometimes make you do things that you shouldn't do. Shit happens.

They both were out of order. They both need to apologize, Chris to Jada, for offending her, and Will for hitting him.

Is He trying to prove he's a man to himself or Her...

The newest match added to Wrestle Mania .

It’s called consequences,something that is lacking in America today.

100% staged

Dont watch it.

I've watched this over and over, and more and more this looked staged. Nothing about this incident made sense, including the response. Oscar ratings are floundering. Doesn't take much to figure that out.

There is no way this was real. This was probably staged to get people to watch an already faltering awards show. With the way the viewership has gone down I predict this awards show will be a thing of the past. Nice job Will, NOT, we could see through that act from the get.

Some more comedians going to get Chris Rock'ed Up on stage joking and gesturing It'll get you smack in the mouth! Ephesians 5:4 ⚔🕊💎🌍

Libs can dish it out but sure can’t take it.

Wow! Make peace not war! Not an acceptable behavior from Will Smith.

WCCO Sign me up for the next Will Smith roast. History or thin skin or both? Will will never be A list. Nor will Kid Rock. Perfect reality playing out for WWE fans across Hollywood.

It’s Biggie vs Tupac 2.0

But Jada has talked about her struggles with alopecia. Rock's joke is like taking a person with a condition causing a severe face rash, & making a joke pointing at it. It's insulting, & Will saw how hurt his wife was & snapped. It's a chivalry/guy thing. Tomorrow, friends again😉

In San Antonio, TX there would be at least 3 SAPoliceDept officers w/guns drawn just waiting to 'shoot to kill' Smith if he took one misstep & could care less if Rock were standing too close to their ready to fire weapons.

Nobody was watching your silly ritual so actors gonna act, I guess

Meh just more publicity

Will Smith’s Oscar should be revoked! And taken away! The fact that you didn’t even remove someone that assaulted another person because they are a celebrity is deplorable! CancelWillSmithArrestWillSmith

This is a joke and a set up and you people are falling for it

Violence does not justify love or hate in whatever form it takes Will had an opportunity to address the issue at the podium but chose to be belligerent Probably not a good example of defending love Crazy things do happen

Assault

I think Denzel Washington said it best

Where’s Jackie Chang? 😂

Si lo hacía un blanco?

Are witnesses allowed to file a police report? Who watches the Oscars? 4 million witnesses, maybe?

Disgraceful

Still living in the trees I see.

WiIl_Smith_ 🤣😂😂😂🤣😂

Take the Oscar back , never has there been violence at the Oscar in 94 yrs ( over a joke ?) , worst year ever for the Movies & Oscar night .

arrestwillsmith

557 murders in Philadelphia 2021. 10,000 wounded since 2015. It's all about the culture. Got to control that impulse.

Inappropriate behavior. Unacceptable. Terrible example to kids everywhere. Make him give his award to Chris rock.

Thinking Chris Rock is a class act and Will Smith is a class without the 'cl'. Who does that?

ZelenskiySlap

Getting jiggy wid it

it was a bad joke- but- what Smith did was BS. He should have his Oscar rescinded, he should be kicked out of SAG, and banned from all the award shows for life

Get Gayle to reinterview this lunatic … 🙈🙊🙉

Enough of Academy awards ! Time to quit ! Embarrassing

Will, to regret this moment all of his life ,, he is not my best actor anymore

Looked so staged

A Shameful act from Will Smith! He ruined his legacy!

I got to 'hand' it to Will...Chris got his world Rocked

'So, Will. What did you do yesterday?'

Totally uncalled for and unprofessional of Will Smith. Disappointing!

Why was he not arrested

I'm going to apologize to chrisrock for the smacking you received.

Nah will was in the right I don’t give a shit he didn’t Apologize to chrisrock he deserved it Play

Violence? good times.

What would he have done to rickygervais ? - this is crossing the line by WS. Ridiculous. Respect to Chris Rock.

Now ppl really call it a cheap show

WillSmith should publicly apologize to ChrisRock. He over-reactive and violence does not solve anything.

Interesting. Will’s win was well deserved. The drama felt staged to me; we know how desperate TV has gotten. If real, violence is never the answer.

Thank God chrisrock didn’t make an open marriage joke.

Sad sad show

How in any sense of reality would a staged violent assault at the Oscars be acceptable? I don't believe it was staged and Will Smith should be stripped of his Oscar - at a minimum.

He’s a

Hey Rafael tedcruz this is what a real man does when his wife is insulted on national tv

What a strange, tone deaf mess of a program.
