The night’s best actor winner appeared to slap the comedian after Rock made a joke about Smith’s wife, actress Jada Pinkett Smith.

That means the Los Angeles Police Department, which has basic jurisdiction where the show was produced Sunday, will not investigate or pursue possible charges against Smith.

Will Smith, right, appears to hit presenter Chris Rock on stage while presenting the award for best documentary feature at the Oscars on Sunday in Los Angeles.That would involve the self-described victim’s contacting police directly, the sources said.

chrisrock needs to really think this over. Oscars

Chris Rock had class not pressing charges. His joke about Jada was classless and Will should never assault anyone.

Chris reaction was everything, silently admitted his fault, at the same time jokingly endured the slap.

Smith and his wife have put their whole life out on the curb for everyone 2 see, even their sexual affairs. And he thinks the joke is offensive?Smiths action was selfish/outrageous. Instead of talking about the touching speech Trey Kotsur or Ariana DeBose, it’s all about the slap

Because Chris Rock is a classy guy.

Why wasn't Will escorted out by security?

Take the Oscar away. If this happened in tennis he’d have to forfeit.

In case you might have missed it, showed the slap at least 15 times in a bit over an hour. 15.

Prior to showing the Will Smith clip, I wish you would give a warning “the following image may be disturbing”.

This was a moment that should never have happened. I praise Chris Rock as being the adult in the room. Will Smith should’ve been escorted out as soon as he returned to his seat. Instead he was given an award after violently attacking somebody for a joke. A bad joke, but a joke.

You don’t make fun at someone with medical a condition 😞 That is out of bounds.

Damn Will… ? You stood like a Man… Chris!

Will Smith has no right to speak like that and hit a man on live tv. Will proved that it is ok to swear hit cuz Will Smiths emotional status was not in check. He should be charged. What Will did was against the law.

Chris was the adult in the altercation.

Ok!

Don’t normalize violence IStandWithChrisRock chrisrock

Will Smith appears to slap Chris Rock at Oscars after joke about Jada Pinkett SmithSmith approached Rock from the audience after Rock made a joke about Pinkett Smith's baldness. 'appears?' the joke should not have been made. the violence should not have happened. both were wrong. both should apologize. Poor judgement on both parts- but never right to assault someone over words. Those in the spot light should strive to be the bigger man to bullies. Now every comedian and presenter has to be concerned about who will be the next Will Smith. Appears to slap=assaulted.......fixed it
