the funniest thing about this though was that Will even laughed at Chris's joke about Jada. But that soon changed when Jada gave Will the look to do something about it, and then the slap happened. Chris took it like a champ.

The actual best thing about this moment was lupita's reaction in the background absolutely priceless!

[MaiMai-ysyg]

In his book he talked about feeling like a coward all his life because he couldn’t help protect his mom. On the breakfast club he said he felt insecure with Tupac because jada loved him so much and will felt like the corny rapper . Jada always talk about how much she loved pac . Even willow wrote a letter asking for pac to come back to make her mom happy again. And not to mention the entanglements and dirty Laundry jada airs. She even talked about their mediocre sex life. Lavern cox mentioned entanglements last week. Who knows the pressure and insecurities this man feels in his personal life. He laughed initially but then seeing jada face he felt the need to protect her and show her his masculinity. That is always in question. He has a lot of money, and fame but he still needs to fix a lot of his insecurities. It is NOT ok to result in violence especially where you aren’t in harm.

Chris' joke was insensitive. But looking at the history of Will and Jada's marriage. It's really toxic. Will may have masked and absorbed all his pain, anger, and disappointments all these years. Yesterday he snapped after looking at Jada's reaction. Still processing what happened. Don't take my opinion too seriously.

Most of us didn't even know or care the Oscars were happening until the news of "The Slap" went viral... Will saved the Oscars ratings with one hand

I love the way Chris Rock kept his composure. You are awesome.

[hawtdawg]

As a longtime Will Smith fan. This was his lowest moment.. Chris Rock way to stay professional!

[fjlnxln]

Just so horrible to see such a sweet guy get abused and then screamed at. And then watch while his disgusting toxic bully gets praised and a standing ovation after. Awful. Really upsetting. Chris handled it amazingly how he carried on looking so uncomfortable bless him!

“It appears Will Smith's marriage is open to everything, except jokes.”

Will could have kissed his beautiful wife on her nicely shaped bald head to let everyone know her not having hair is fine with him and kept on smiling

[carolynjune-jackson]

Chris proved he could take a slap. Will proved he can't take a joke.

Months later and I'm still amazed at seeing the absolute mental implosion of one of Hollywood's biggest, and seemingly most admirable stars, happen on the grandest stage imaginable.

[DrDre]

Respect to John Leguizamo for stating his opinion boldly and not being a follower of coddling an apology that was directed at everyone but the person hit (Chris). Thank you, John. 👏🏽 Anyone comforting Will should have walked over immediately and comforted Chris as well. Why is Chris the villain? Regardless of what Chris said, Will should not have done that.

[marylyn]

It's nothing to do with standing up for your wife. Will was laughing until Jada rolled her eyes. Will Smith committed assault. Bottom line. If you want to stand up for somebody, you use your words. And then to sit and swear from the audience... Zero class again.

[josephforsuh]

I am surprised that the reporting is not including how he, Will disrespected the Williams family, particularly Richard Williams by calling him name(s) when he collects the Oscar an hour after the slap and f-bombs and using this incident as an excuse to do this. Mr Williams is a legendary, living Father regardless of alleged foibles. So much for bringing glory to the All it left was a stench for everyone who was involved with the movie at every level. Where is the footage where Serena has her head in her hands? The night was bittersweet for Venus and Serena. I felt bad for them.

[mariaibarra]

John Travolta face when announced the win LoL😂😂😂😂threw me way back to WELCOME BACK CARTER 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[emsaun]

How influenced by the patriarchy you have to be to believe that violence "in the name of love" is respectable & an "honour" for women to witness. Shaking my head, Tiffany

[regina_filange.]

I feel had this been the other way around, people would be SO mad at Chris Rock. He would've been asked to leave. Will Smith can seem to do no wrong with some people.

[michelletovar]

After seeing this video multiple times I genuinely want to know how Chris Rock is doing, everyone is looking at the Smith’s but Rock is the one that was assaulted.

[carolchristiansen]

Will was asked to leave and he refused. That’s the most incredible thing.
