Oscars producer: Police were ready to arrest Will Smith after he slapped Chris Rock at ceremony

Police officers were ready to arrest actor Will Smith at the Academy Awards after he slapped presenter Chris Rock, the ceremony's producer has said.

Will Packer told ABC's Good Morning America:"They were saying, you know, this is battery, was a word they used in that moment.Rock had joked about the appearance of Smith's wife, prompting Smith to walk onto the stage and smack him in the face.'Keep my wife's name out your f***ing mouth!'Advertisement

But producer Mr Packer said Rock had told police officers afterwards that he did not want to take the matter further. He described Rock, a comedian, as being"very dismissive of those options - he was like 'no, no, no, I'm fine'.

He feels emasculated by all her affairs, he was showing her he is a man.. Lion King of the jungle.. That's what I think

Old News move on its the weekend

So why was Will awarded his Oscar? It was a stunt A fake just like all of hollywood

Who gives a shit about this ? It's not even news

The police just said ' yoho smell you later'

Think Chris should sue Will for $10m and then buy a house in Bel-Air..

I've gone off Will now. No matter what's going on in his head, violent behaviour should never take place.

Why are all the freeze frame shots all before and after, none of the photos show the actual point of contact?🤔🤔🤔

Open season on women take it on the chin Will.

Ready to arrest, but then someone offered them a cup of coffee and they chose coffee 🤦🏻‍♀️

It should have been arrested, the message was that they can feel untouchable

😂😂😂😂….He literally got an standing ovation from everyone which felt more like cheering for what he has done.What happened and what should have happened are not even close.

That chick has turned his mind into mush.

So why didn't they? If I did it I'd be jailed for life!!! If you are a celebrity you can do anything I guess

Is this what the left refer to as 'toxic masculinity'?

Rock being such a professional, people's distress responses were greatly minimized. He SAVED TheAwards ceremony from the sabatoging event. Way to go chrisrock

Because it was all faked!

Going into day 5 of talking about this, folks.

What cop out when an assault is witnessed the person getting assaulted does not have to lay charges the Authorities are able to charge without a complaint if that was the case those murdered and beaten senseless would never get Justice it's just a cop out lol 😂

Picture the story if a white actor did what Will Smith did.

Will Smith is a privileged man, if this had been an ordinary black or white man they would have been arrested and cautioned.

I follow back immediately

If a fan did the same thing, that person would have been arrested - no conversation about it.

I think Chris rock was a really kind man to stop the police from arresting will smith because had it been someone else he might not have been so lucky , but it still doesn't make it right what will smith did .

Free pass again for Will Smith like Jessie Smolett recently

Call the LAPD. File a Police Report. The LAPD Has a legal obligation to arrest Will Smith. They witnessed the crime. We need some lawyers to come forward we need some witnesses to come forward and press the LAPD to do its legal duty. Police take an oath to uphold the law.

Ok sounds great do it and let’s move on it’s a slap not a war like Ukraine, so think of them not a slap USA !!!!!

Thank God Chris Rock said no charges on him.

William William it was really nothing just a slap

Lock him up

So police saw a crime taking place but turned a blind eye?
