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.

Will Smith [i]did [/i] apologize, later, and Chris Rock does not want to press charges.

However, Smith's behavior was something that would NEVER have been tolerated in a fan, or a regular Joe.

If THAT had happened, the fan or regular person would have been hauled off the stage by security, and would now be residing in jail for assault. It didn't go down like that, because famous Hollywood actors have become, in their own minds, and in their own little bubble, exempt from the law.

I do think, however, that Smith has soiled his award by his actions. He has also soiled the legacy of Venus and Serena Williams.
