Will Smith addressed slapping Chris Rock during his Oscars acceptance speech for Best Actor

. Smith had taken offense at a joke the comedian told about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith. “Love makes you do crazy things,” he said during his speech. He said that he was defending his family and compared himself to Richard Williams.

When Smith won the Best Actor Oscar, he wept and compared himself to Richard Williams, who was often maligned in the press as an overly protective father. “Richard Williams was a fierce defender of his family. In this time in my life, in this moment, I am overwhelmed by what God is calling on me to do and be in this world,” Smith said.

after the slap. “Denzel said to be a few minutes ago, at your highest moment, be careful, that’s when the devil comes for you,” Smith said. “I want to be a vessel for love.”

Will Smith, a man with low self esteem when it comes to his wife. After laughing at the joke, saw his wife’s rolling eyes then decided its time to prove to her he’s a man by slapping another grown man in the face.

It's bullshit. Did your parent not teaching you are not allowed to initiate violence? Even if someone insult your family, you find a way to get back to him in grace. Educate & create foundation & ask that guy to donate. Not to go on stage & smack him & not apologizing for that.

…beats his kids…

Sorry excuses!!!…that is pothetic

It was a delayed reaction. Smith was laughing at Chris’ joke. He reacted only after seeing Jada uncomfortable. How cowardly and way to set an example to his kids. Was that a way to prove to the world that he is now the ONLY MAN in Jada’s life?

so best actor means bad behavior ''\\_(°°/)_/''

No, no, oh no, he did not address the ugly. He conveniently left out apologizing to Chris. Will was wrong in doing such being an iconic figure darn it comes around again...everyone hates Chris even Will. I love them both, but Will, was really wrong in doing such an act.

🤢🤮

He should have not accepted the award after his behavior. Go up and thank the academy, but declined the award.

Violence is not the answer. chrisrock, like a lot of folks, probably didn’t know about jada’s alopecia. Even if he did, will smith shouldn’t have assaulted him! That’s very unclassy. He could’ve pulled him aside after and said, she’s really suffering, pls apologize.

He is a coward, he took advantage of his position coming close to Chris a Slapped him without warning, the fact that him thinking what he did is okay is so disappointing.

Is he crying?!!

People talking about he was right in slapping Chris but conveniently forget that if this was at a bar or somewhere less formal place things could av gotten a lot worse, fast.... Violence under any guise is and Neva will be d solution...

Violence is not the answer. You can not use 'Love' as an excuse for your indefensible act.

No he didn't. He made a bunch of excuses and offered some half hearted apologies to the academy.

So sad what they do for rating...

Wow

Sorry, Will…your speech was lost on me. Way too little…with a good portion of gaslight thrown in.

No he absolutely did not. He rambled about being a protector and love them said sorry to his fellow nominees and the academy nothing about assaulting another man over a stupid joke that he first laughed at.

I hope the acdemy invites him back to return the oscar, he is just an animal and the people arround him laughing and celebrating him. something is wrong with you people very very wrong. getwillsimthoscarback dontdeserveit

It was staged. It was acted out and planned!! staged

assaultisnotlove He could have explained the pain of the joke in his acceptance speech. Plus, Jada does not need saving. She sent the message loud and clear with the eye roll. Enough is enough.

Immature, unprofessional and deserving of a timeout since he acted like a child.

Look Will Smith is a human being. Yes violence is not the answer but I feel compassion for him because that is someone he loves and Chris Rock was wrong for humiliating his wife at the Oscars. I thought comedians were suppose to be funny!

Did he though? I heard a lot about God and The Devil and “being called to a higher purpose,” actually.

Will Smith certainly was not good in his movie roll, but proved the slime of hollywood is a hypocrisy !!!

what a shame man, nobody deserve see that. givebacktheoscar

WillSmith career is over

I talked about her the worse! Come for me!! lmaooo not little old Chris!

Why did the security not escort Will Smith out? That's what I wanna know. He did it onstage in front of millions... Who calls the shots at the Oscars? teamChrisRock

It’s high time that stand up comedians must draw some line for themselves which they must not cross otherwise such reactions will become a norm than an exception.

teamChrisRock

No he did not address him.

Not really.

Need to apologize to chrisrock. Assault over a joke?

Drama King

No he didn’t apologise to chrisrock,

Sorry no excuse! He needs to publicly apologize.

I think it looks like it was staged!

Had it been a white guy on stage, willsmith would’ve sat there and laughed it down, but because its a black guy, he had the balls to go up there and disrespect him like that! Punk move, you don’t do that to your own, I’m 100% sure chrisrock didn’t know Jadas condition

I hope so much chrisrock press charges. But I don't think he will. The example of 'respond to words with violence' will be widespread

No he didn’t.

Will Smith made no damn sense after embarrassing himself. I guess I wouldn’t either. 😳🥺

A bad look Bruh..

Do you think will smith had done the same if the comedian was white

Uh not really.

If there was Ibra_official in his place, he'd have a secret elbow while getting zlatan the oscar 🤗

Somebody help Will, he has got problems. The next thing, he will be running naked on the street to prove his love or kill someone.

What a wiredly twisted headline

We appreciate you willsmith for leaving West Philadelphia and not being the rift waft. We appreciate you for being the man that doesn’t bully. Not being the bully.

i like him MORE than before

Just a famous hero slaps a clown who talks about his wife closely. crying because his hand hurts

Chris Rock represents the bullies in schools who can get away with their taunting & jokes, what a perfect day for victims of bullying, we should stand-up & not only slap these jokers, shut them-up. Violence? Victims of bullying encounter it on a daily basis, just give us this day

😊Both his sentiment and reaction is correct.

What a shitty take, TIME.

Smith's violence undermines public decency. It demeans the character of Oscar, a globally respected event.

jadapsmith I guess this what’s happens if you say jada smith around will smith

He did?

Well, Delta IS the official Oscar Airline So there's THAT

But can he slap Putin? No, then sit down.

Don’t these celebrities own a handkerchief ?

Pathetic.. along with all who defend him..

Fake

No sympathy, violence cannot be condoned.

Dude… did Chris Rock write the joke or was he reading from a promoter? HELLO 🙄

For much less we saw artists being canceled.... But this jerk is from the elite só he can do anything.

There no excuse to use violence in response to words.

But he didn’t apologize did he?

Hey Will, come to Tennessee and try that you and your wife will get bitch slapped!

I will defend my wife, with violence if necessary. What Will did was not necessary. Rock crossed the line, but Will could have taken care of it off camera. His reaction was that of someone who's mentally unstable.

That he could physically assault a person & allowed to remain at awards to use that moment to excuse his attack as an act of love, apologise to all but chrisrock for his aggressive response is questionable behaviour by TheAcademy & ABCNetwork & sadly hypoctrical of Will Smith.

Imagine being so self centered you assume everyone keeps up with your family’s business. Imagine committing assault, then pontificate about being a ‘vessel of love’. That’s some privileged ass shit ChrisRickFileCharges

There is no excuse for any person to be physically violent towards another person. Unless we are saying if you make fun of me and I don't like it, I can slap you. And it will be okay. People will actually cheer for the aggressor. Is that our new standard?

Did he?

No he didn’t. Nice try.

So apparently there are teamChrisRock and TeamWillSmith on Twitter..

Now he jus needs to slap everyone who's slept with his wife . But that's not going to happen lol.

Will’s first time ever winning an Award the Oscar’s. Guess he didn’t want nobody joking about his wife!!

Oscar the Academy should treat him as if he was white…can you imagine the heightened outrage.
