I was expecting Will to make an apology, a day after he let his anger got the best of him at the Oscar: Smith stormed on stage and smacked Rock in the face for making a bad joke about Jada Smith’s hair loss due to her alopecia (an autoimmune disorder).

Indeed, Smith’s actions were out of line; he could have booed or gave a thumbs down, or even gotten away with the use of profanity, but doing what he did on national television was too much. We all learned at a very young age that, if we behaved badly there would be disciplinary consequences.

So what’s your take? Should they take away his Oscar?

I am glad Smith publicly expressed regret for his action, and acknowledged that the use of ‘violence…is poisonous and destructive’.
