Will Smith should have steamed in and followed it up with a spectacular combination of head butts and kidney punches.

What? No low blows?

The joke was about her shaving her head, not directly about her medical condition and could also have been directed at a woman who shaved her head as a fashion statement. She shaved her head and has been very public with it, which is her right, but that does leave her open to comments and jokes. Is Will going to assault every comic that mentions it? If he's willing to assault someone in public I wonder how violent he is in private.
I doubt he will need to after this!
Maybe not. But is Mrs Smith going to assault everyone that now take the p1$$ out of big Will for his girly slap? I think there'll be plenty of those.
I don't.
There be a heck of a lot of memes doing the rounds at the mo' and Ricky Gervais has already made reference. Personally, I think it'll be getting referenced for some time to come.

Will Smith should have been booted out. If it was any of us doing that at some event then you'd be hauled out by security. He's an A lister so not only did they let him stay but he went onstage again to give an acceptance speech. The Oscar's organisers bottled doing the right thing in my opinion.

Other comedians will be dining out on it for years
But he wont be sat in a room with his wife being the target of these jokes so he will never know.

Has Chris Rock apologised to Will Smiths wife?! That should have been the first apology imo, she looked very indignant. Making fun of people with disability or health conditions is the lowest cheapest 'humour’ Will could have torn Rock to shreds when he got the stage, taken the high ground the audience would have loved him, then destroy Rocks career on social media. Sometimes hard to think when you’re pi$$ed off.

Nice one, Will, even if it was a delicate, little, slap. Should've punched his lights out!
And jumped on his head and set fire to him. Followed up by a volley of Kung fu kicks and wind Mills.
They were both wrong, but I have more sympathy for Will Smith.
Leon said it best "No Women, no kids"
Chris Rock should have had the common sense to realise Will Smith was within walking distance and had second thoughts about mocking his wife's disability. If you take the **** out of someone's partner, within range you need to be willing to risk a slap.
As for him being a comedian, freedom of speech isn't freedom of consequence. He wasn't exactly punching up by attacking somebody's obvious insecurities.

It’s clear his wife was not amused by the “ joke”, and almost certainly felt humiliated in front her many rich and famous acting crowd. Had Will NOT slapped the joker, would the same crowd not have thought he should have reacted?. I think so. He could have perhaps just done verbal warning to him that came afterwards. That may have sufficed , but personally I think I would have done the same thing as Will had I been in his position.... with or without the fame.
