Chris Rock offended Jada Smith and Will Smith came up on stage. Looked like he punched Rock. They bleeped the whole incident. Will Smith was yelling. What happened?

(5,629 posts)Chris made a bad joke about Wil's wife and Wil went on stage and slapped rock hard.
Then he went to his seat and yelled "Keep my wife's name out your fucking mouth" He said it twice.

(2,598 posts)It must have seemed to Will Smith like a gallant thing to do, but it was a grievous mistake on his part.
Violence upon a comedian in front of the world? That's career-ending, Putin-style bullshit.

(25,167 posts)that you may be the butt of a joke. You would think that one would have developed a thick skin being a celebrity and know that such jokes are all in the fun of the moment.
Most unfortunate.
I wonder what Don Rickles is thinking about this incident as he looks down and watched this play out.
