Thousands around the world are reacting to Will Smith's sudden aggressive outburst at the Oscars. Many have taken aim at the King Richard star saying his Oscar award should have been taken away.

“How was Will Smith not removed from the ceremony?,” they wrote.

“I don't care if his wife suffers from alopecia or not. He laughed at the joke himself. The fact that there are people defending him is actually outrageous,” they wrote.A third questioned why the Oscars’ security did not intervene and kick Smith out of the venue. “Tonight we are delighted to celebrate our 94th Academy Awards winners, who deserve this moment of recognition from their peers and movie lovers around the world.”Tonight we are delighted to celebrate our 94th Academy Awards winners, who deserve this moment of recognition from their peers and movie lovers around the world.Rock suggested Pinkett-Smith, who is bald and has alopecia, would be making an appearance in “G.

Rock seemed to be stunned before Smith went on an expletive-filled rant that went live to air across Australia.Minutes after his outburst Smith won an Oscar for his leading role in the film King Richard – a movie based on the father of legendary tennis players Venus and Serena Williams.

Keeping the award communicates violence is acceptable whenever someone feels offended, frustrated, embarrassed or whatever. Is it now OK on the bus, in a park, a department store, a schoolyard, the sports floor. The Oscar is giving out prizes for this behaviour - UNACCEPTABLE!

We can’t make a joke of everything … it’s a common sense

He can keep his little award lol what he needs to do is sort out why he’s unhinged. I got a pretty good idea

Imagine if it had been a white actor who slapped chrisrock?

Imagine if this happened in your workplace.

Interesting that when you get offended you are allowed to assault someone. I wonder where the line is drawn? 🤔

Yep take it away. Violence should not be celebrated. Happy for anyone to stand up for their wife but not with Violence. Not a good look at all!

To busy working to care about pointless drama.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣like a movie‼️‼️🐐🐐🐐

It's an assult in a public place! Nothing else.

And his crack pipe.

Boycott Murdoch media maggots.

I think he should be allowed to keep it and not have it stripped from him because he was defending his wife against a cruel joke made by that dumb comedian Chris Rock

It’s a joke and then he goes on with a self serving speech and the academy doesn’t cut it, when they cut the director of Drive My Car after like 20 seconds. If Chris sued I’d completely understand.
