Police were ‘prepared’ to arrest Will Smith after he slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars, producer say
The Independent says Oscars producer Will Packer said Los Angeles police were “prepared” to arrest Will Smith after he slapped Chris Rock on the Academy Awards stage.
Smith, 53, faces disciplinary action over the altercation with Rock, which was prompted by the comedian’s joke about the appearance of Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett while he was onstage at the Oscars ceremony on Sunday (27 March).
The actor shocked the live audience at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles when he strode on stage and hit Rock across the face with an open hand. Smith then returned to his seat, yelling at Rock to keep Pinkett Smith’s name out of his “f***ing mouth”.
