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.

Skipping over whether Rocks humour was funny, or in good taste, about a medical condition when the person and her husband are in the room in public, I am a little taken aback that just a few minutes after the event, Wlill Smith wons an Oscar , is geeted with a Standing Ovation by the WHOLE ROOM, makes a public aplogy for the disturbance on the spot and it takes less than a day for the public to turn against him.
Frankly i think Rock got off lightly and Smiths approach with an open hand rather than a fist was quite within decency.
If I was Smith, there would have been no follow up and the "Academy " would have been advised to choose their speakers more wisely in future. Its not like Smith needs the money and he could fund anything he wanted as an independent and snub the Oscars. Its not like they treated him well.😷
