I think it was staged simply because the GI Jane joke was pretty weak for Chris Rock. And Chris Rock stand there with his hands behind his back and almost leans forward into the slap and just rolls with it after the slap. Will Smith almost cracks a smile after the slap like he was part of some hidden camera show gag. If it was real life and Will Smith was at a Chris Rock show and came up on stage, Chris Rock wouldn't just stand there and stick his face out. He would be ready to throw down and a swarm of body guards would have jumped up on stage and taken down Will Smith. And if Will Smith was really outraged by Chris Rock's joke, he wouldn't just go for a b#tch slap. He would have been closed fist swinging at Chris Rock, going for the knockout. This was a bit staged by Chris Rock and Will Smith and Any Kaufman is rolling over in his grave.

2) Different jurisdictions actually treat those words a little bit differently anyway.
3) In a non-legal sense, it is STILL acceptable to call what Will Smith did to Chris Rock, "assault". Again, look at the definition of the word - "make a physical attack on".
So I guess it's assault when a player commits a flagrant foul in the NBA or one player shoves another after the end of a NFL play. And let's not even get started on the NHL.
Instead of just throwing the offending player out of the game they should face criminal charges.
Um...NO.
1) Those are "contact sports." There is no such thing as "contact comedy."
2) When a player has gone way above and beyond acceptability (especially in hockey with regard to swinging sticks), there HAVE been criminal charges filed.
Totally fake, Hollywood awards are getting no ratings. They are desperate for viewers. No one cares about these people who like basking in their own sun.
This is just hollywood in their gutter. I don't mind since it should be known and accepted by now that they are entertainers and actors, and their fame and fortunes depend on generating buzz. Besides jobs, the monkeying around in that industry adds no value to sapiens.
Not cancer. She just has hair loss that some women have. Absolutely NO reason for Will Smith to hit Chris Rock over that. If he wanted to rip him later verbally, then fine, but nope, not that. Not cool. F*ck Will Smith.
What happened to the 'real man' of Letsrun?
So you would let someone make fun of your wives medical condition or appearance and done nothing..
I'd have decked him properly
Yes . Should have been a full on punch . Plus , looking at Hollywood behavior and applying standards is ridic . Rock, Smith, Kimmel the whole lots are lowlifes .
Will & Jada are lucky it wasn't Ricky Gervais, who would have really put the needle in. No excuse for Will response.
What I don't understand is why, during Will's acceptance speech, ABC kept either switching the shot to the Williams sister or just having a screen with the OSCAR graphic. What didn't they want us to see? There was still audio.
Yes , ABC cancelled the After the Red Carpet show in my area. lol

Hollywood culture is fading and its great
They have to compete with the invasion of Ukraine, politicians who have also mostly become actors, and of course the avg Joe and Jane trying to become famous and wealthy on social media. Let's just say I don't feel bad for hollywood. With that said, if it was battery lock Will up and he can hope Rock doesn't press charges. This would be the law and order way. And if it was not fake, Will is a weakling for initially laughing and then growing a pair once he realized his wife wasn't happy. Also for the slap... come on man, can't take a joke but if you're going to react, do it right. And if was fake, well, then Will and Chris just got another 15min of relevance back and will pocket some suckers' $ in the end.
