Is violence acceptable when your partner is verbally abused?

(warning - bad language)

My view - no.

He is supposed to be a role model - what message does this send to his fans?

Strip him of the award and ban him for five years.

Sadly, surprisingly also perhaps with "me too", many actors seem to have taken Smith's side.

Chris Rocks joke was unpleasant to say the least,but I am with J ,Will Smiths reaction was unacceptable,others have said he had a long walk to get to CR he could have used that time to cool down

Violence is never acceptable ( I’d make an exception for Putain and his generals)

It was an odd outburst - almost like Smith's missis goaded him on to do it "Are you going to let him talk about me like that?". Who knows - but I think in general, there's so much shite going on in the world, people are generally on a shorter fuse and lashing out, unfortunately.

At least he apologised profusely afterwards, but the damage was done. Looked like it blimin' well hurt too!

As Denzil Washington said afterwards 'At your highest moment - that's when the devil comes for you'

Will Smith is an articulate man ,he could have gone on stage got hold of the mic and with a few words demolished CR and made himself look good

I agree. At 0:25 he is laughing at the joke and she is scowling. Then . . .

I guess Ricky Gervais will get some material out of it.

I think Will was between a rock and a hard place
