i just foudn a super slow mo- and even slowed it down more by advancing frame by frame- it is clearly a hollywood brushing fingertip slap that glances down and under the chin- i see this all the time in movies- watching in real time, and hearing the dubbed in sounds, it looks and sounds real=- but slowed down, you can see they clearly try not to hurt the other person- (though sometimes they miscalculate and do smack the person- one actor knocked another out during shooting lol)
Here’s the video if you’re interested-
I dunno- I’m suspect of even the police report- i think it was all stupid stunt to try to get people interested in the awards-
Thanks for the link. I watched the slow mo. It looks to me as if Smith slapped Chris in the jaw...? I read that Chris joked about the Smiths back when they were boycotting the Oscars. Maybe Smith has had a grudge against Chris, and this was the final straw. Or, maybe the whole story has been a set up from the beginning - who knows? But, the Smiths have been behaving ridiculously for years now.
Watch Smith & Rock later.
