Actor Will Smith was filmed partying on Monday morning at the Vanity Fair Oscars event in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, CA after he slapped stand-up comedian Chris Rock during the live award show.

In the video shared by Variety editors Marc Malkin and Ramin Setoodeh on Twitter, Smith, 53, with wife J ada Pinkett, 50, nearby, joyfully sang along as the DJ played his songs “Gettin Jiggy With It” and”Miami.”

Looks to me that this is something that could have waited and been settled backstage between slap happy Smith and Rock. Apparently, Smith has impulse control issues.

Another case of Black on Black violence and not a care in the world.

What could possibly happen, that would distract America and what’s left of the free World, from Joe Biden’s performance in Europe this last weekend? Perhaps an even better performance at the Oscars, by better actors?

Chris Rock needs to change the name of this video to "How Not To Get Your Ass Kicked By Will Smith."

That's the civilized approach. Some people are saying that Chris Rock didn't know the spouse had hair growth issues and the short hair was just a style. Not sure about that. But violence and F bombs - it's against their policies of decorum and they should punish Smith.

Could be real, Rock sees a bald woman and makes a bad joke. Smith delivers an unfunny punch line. But it does boost ratings for the BlAcademy awards.

Oscars have ratings lower than Joe Biden, so they needed to manufacture “interest” and relevance. Here comes Will Smith & Chris Rock...still don’t care.

The Left likes to talk about punching people in the face. I expect to see more of this behavior everywhere.

Honestly though it’s the Oscars and not a Roast, Chris might have felt he didn’t cross the line with his remark but its well known she has a medical condition and it’s not her choice to be bald.

Smith took serious offense and bitch slapped him for it, the only difference is you or I would be charged with assault, and if there were a lawsuit we would feel it financially with the lawyer costs and damages, someone worth hundreds of millions of dollars it means a few signatures and some court time.

50 years ago someone would have been slapped silly too, it just would have happened behind the curtain and not on stage is all. Can you imagine the fallout if someone ever said that about Frank Sinatra’s wife back in his day in front of millions of people trying to get a laugh? Bet he would have done the exact same thing as Smith did but with a closed fist.

Just hood rats doing hood rat things. You can take the rat out of the hood but you can’t take the hood out of the rat. It’s how they process the world. Very sad.

I agree. You cannot hit somebody for insulting you. Will is an actor, and this was a publicity stunt.

In a normal world that would be a huge mistake. But today, Black on Black violence is apparently acceptable.
