I cannot say with surety if this was a scripted plot or a real event. If this was scripted, then why right after the slapping incident, the mikes were closed? We saw Will smith abusing to his full throat at the host but could not hear because the mic was muted at that time.
If he did it deliberately, he should be punished for it otherwise it will become a routine in live events.
Based on his recent posts he is very sorry for what he did some of his projects are on hold like the Bad Guys movie and the one with Netflix he also resigned from the Oscars, the incident di Will Smith more harm than Chris Rock, he is exposed as a violent mind nobody wants to be associated with Will Smith right now, the man is wrecked, there's a lot of jokes right now about Will Smith.
Will Smith won the award for the first time in his life and before Oscar everyone was betting on Will Smith but after Oscar everyone was shocked for what has happened.
to it which means it is the consequences on what he had done.He might be sorry but it is really too late because that would really be giving out the impression that would really last for a lifetime.
Thats why you should think first before making any actions because you wont know that it would really be costing something which you didnt expect for it to happen.
