Smith lost his mind at the ceremony. In a bad way.
DUDE. NO.
Just NO.
Chris made a joke to Jada - "cant wait for GI Jane 2!" Jada has shorn hair due to being diagnosed with alopecia hair loss? So...kinda tasteless joke? Yes. Do not mock an illness nor a woman's sensitive looks. Ever. But he did.
Will went from laughing, then rose up, stalked up on stage & //slapped// Chris full swing. Then went back to his seat, "keep my wife's name out of your Fing mouth!"
"It was a joke!"
"Keep my wife's name out your Fing mouth!"
Reports that people went up to Will afterward, one assumes to calm him. No reports of anyone calming Chris.
In his acceptence speech (!) Will appologized to the Academy (!) and something about in his movie he was called to be The Protector? Was that an excuse?? Something about having to accept abuse?
Dude. NO.
No, I don't give a F what was SAID. You fight words with WORDS.
"Them's fighting words" are not a thing. You call him outside like you're supposed to.
Slapping him? On TV? During a formal event?
NO.
But...imho.
