Was ‘The Slap’ justified? Will Smith hit Chris Rock at Oscars 2022 (Commentary/Reaction/Opinion)

At yesterdays 2022 Oscar ceremony, the host Chris Rock, made a joke about Will Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith. Who is suffering from a hair loss condition, called alopecia. Chris Rock said “Jada, can’t wait for GI Jane 2,”, which is a reference to Demi Moore’s shaved head in GI Jane. As a reaction, Will Smith got up and slapped Chris Rock across the face followed by yelling offensive slurs at him. In this video I talk about the justification for violence, I talk about the context of the situation and share my thoughts on whether Will Smith’s reaction was justified. I hope you enjoy.
