@divegeester saidA dumb move IMO.
But his tears made it OK?
Drugs are a hellava thing.
The only good thing about the ceremony was Kristian Stewart. She didn't win the Oscar but stole the show with her style!

@divegeester saidWill Smith was within his rights to defend his wife, who has a scalp condition. Chris Rock attacked her for having a medical condition. But you're all about that, aren't you? You have done the same thing here yourself.

I'm on Will's side. But you can sit back in your leather chair implying he has a drug problem.
What is wrong with you?
BTW, I would have hit him with a fist, but he used his open hand. A humiliation move. He understood what he was doing. No drugs necessary, jackass.
"Keep my wife's name out of your f---ing mouth!" He said it twice. His motivation was crystal clear.
@mchill saidI agree with you about Kristin Stewart.
A dumb move IMO.

But I don't think it was a dumb move. He was defending his wife.
Screw everyone who can't (or won't) see that.

Rock's joke was weak and lazy and in poor taste. And yet Smith laughed at it: at least until he saw that his wife was not amused.
Instead of assaulting Rock, Smith should have shrugged it off and then he and his wife should have penned a syndicated op-ed the very next day ~ which would probably have been published in more than 100 newspapers ~ about how making fun of people with autoimmune conditions is... yes, weak and lazy and in poor taste.
A round of talk show interviews and calls into podcasts and radio shows would have been a more eloquent and dignified way to promote awareness of alopecia and similar diseases while at the same time making it clear how small, meanspirited and undignified comedians can sometimes be.
