Apparently the reason Will Smith was allowed to stay seated was because amid the talk of removing him, Chris Rock asked that he be allowed to stay!

The way Chris handled the situation continues to impress me.

According to the producer, he told the LAPD he didn't want to press charges. Rock is coming off of this smelling like a rose imo. The jury's out on Smith; I think something is up with him.

I just want to know what happened in those moments between when the camera caught him laughing and then going up on stage. That was a bizarre escalation in just a few seconds. @uncalled4

@Zaphod42 I think that WS was triggered by Jada's reaction, at least the angles I saw.

@uncalled4 he's not happy in his marriage. You can see it all over his face. So it's like, he's almost overcompensating which is why he hit Rock.

@Secret6620 Eh, maybe. He's had lots of his dirty laundry aired the past few years, too.
