Howard and Nikki Glaser React to Will Smith’s Oscar Smack

[@Juan-hd8lh]

Will walked out of the stage as if he had knocked down Tyson, but he only slapped a shocked Chris. Watching Will be so easily manipulated by Jada's eye-rolling, lose self-control in front of the world, and then playing the victim during his speech, was amazingly sad.

When your wife has total control of what you think and say. He must be so dead inside.

Carlos I agree, imagine being mentally battened for years and your marital shit discussed at your wife’s Red Table talk show ? Spiritually dead indeed. The Smiths are not nice people

I'm not a lawyer but wasn't it "Battery" rather than "Assault" or both? Isn't the actual physical hitting part called "Battery"?

[@courtneyawalsh]

Either way: the entire globe witnessed this crime. And he was comforted & rewarded.

[@MetaFootballTV]

Battery is contact upon another. Assault needs no contact, but intent to.... Reasonable apprehension, they call it.

[@llorona7847]

The physical contact is battery but he also caused a reasonable apprehension. So, this is a case of assault and battery

If Chris Rock pressed charges I actually think he would be helping Will out. He needs to pay a consequence it would probably actually help him.

[@jeffreybosiljevac3408]

I think Will knew, when he saw the look on his wife’s face… if he didn’t do something, that was going to be him getting slapped by his wife when they got home!!! I wish someone would ask Jada what she thought of what went down? That would answer a lot of questions.

Will is trying out a new way to respond to a great joke, you laugh and then smack the comedian..
