Can we demand a public apology from Will Smith?

As a fan of both Chris Rock and Will Smith, I think Will Smith was so childish. Chris Rock’s jokes were very funny and he didn’t deserve to be smacked in the face for telling a joke. Maybe Will was drunk or high or something. If he does not apologize, then he needs to grow up because he is setting the wrong example. Just like Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift in 2009, Will Smith is totally out of line for doing that. Interrupting a comedian/presenter at an award show doesn’t make you look good.

Being as I am not a fan of the entertainment industry I honestly don't care if two members of said industry decide to beat the stuffing out of each other. That aside I personally think it was pre-planned and staged for maximum effect. The Oscars are so dead they needed something to get people talking about them the next day. I am sure the two 'combatants' will be putting large pay cheques in bank for the slap heard round the world.

@hippyjoe1955 the reactions I've seen ALL day kinda support what you're saying, if it was not staged though, I'm kinda up in the air, Chris Rock has a unique way of being very annoying, but, he did stand in the pocket and take it, so i don't know, it made headlines....

@SilkandLace2 I have watched the entire thing several times. Every time I watch it the fakery becomes more and more evident. If you wanted to have a good stage slap that one would be the one you would show as how not to do it. The slappee's reaction was way way way too overdone.

@hippyjoe1955 that, and the still shots i initially saw kinda debunked it for me

@SilkandLace2 Yeah I am very convinced it was staged for publicity. In all reality who would slap someone for making fun of a wayfaring wife's bald head. If her bald head bothered her she could have worn a wig.

@hippyjoe1955 well, that's where I'm a bit eh, I'm 50/50, maybe 60/40, if put on the spot, staged, but there's definitely room for argument

@SilkandLace2 I am not saying you don't defend your wife I am saying you don't walk up on stage and slap the comedian if he insults your wife.

@hippyjoe1955 well, i would, BUT, i read that he was laughing until he saw her reaction, which, if not staged, makes it "double eh", you can't laugh then go all hard and yell such things again after you go back to your seat.....🤣
