Will Smith opened up about slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars, telling Trevor Noah 'hurt people hurt people'

Will Smith opened up to Trevor Noah about the now-famous slap at the Oscars in March during an appearance that aired Monday night on “The Daily Show.” While promoting his forthcoming film “Emancipation,” Smith called it “a horrific night” and said he “lost it” when he stormed the stage and slapped presenter Chris Rock. “And I guess what I would say, you just never know what somebody is going through,” Smith said. “I was going through something that night.

“That was a rage that had been bottled for a really long time,” Smith said. Noah pointed out how Smith had written in his memoir about growing up being afraid of conflict and the talk show host also noted the negative things that have been said about Smith and his family on the internet. “It was a lot of things,” Smith said in response. “It was the little boy that watched his father beat up his mother, you know. All of that just bubbled up in that moment.

Why would anyone think that slap was real ?

To be honest, black people are tired of watching themselves being portrayed as victims in the media. That’s probably the real reason black people won’t see the movie.

🤡

Will smith is a jerk

Who's this shoulderless woman

'hurt people hurt people' is equivalent to someone flaking bc their 'stomach hurts'

Horrific night? The guy was dancing and partying afterwards. I don't think he expected the reaction that he got and that horrified him. I'm not buying it.

Nobody cares.

He should have apologized and stopped there. Instead he inserts a big but….Hurt people, hurt people is obvious and is meant to be an excuse

I DON’T CARE 🤷🏿‍♀️. HE LOST ME TOO. TOO GHETTO. NOT USE TO THAT

I hate this 'hurt people blah blah blah blah blah...' trend. Stop using that, just say you were wrong and that's it.
