    I thought he slapped a man for making a joke? I can see why many folks would see little difference, I mean violence is violence, but if we’re talking degrees Id rather get doses of slap then punch. Still unacceptable in the situation, however, and I believe what ever issue Will had that night skills have been handled in private.

    All that being said, the man has aged and people move on.

      Will Smith is 6’2" and played Muhammed Ali. I can think of a lot of people I’d rather have punch me than get slapped by Will Smith.

        I saw the slap. There wasn’t much in it. Rock wasn’t going to end up with a detached retina or a brain bruise from that bit of patty-cake. All it did was reinforce the view that Smith’s a smug, egocentric lightweight who can’t take a joke. Also, he’s a limited actor, and his “musical” career consisted of some vaguely rap-shaped throwaway pop dreck that most people would be ashamed to put their name to. And his ears are too small.

      He slapped a friend for a cheating whore that humiliated him a few months later, she was the biggest mistake he ever made, she was basically a stone drowning him while he was gasping for air and for that he’s not just an asshole but a dumbass and there’s also his cult bs, he could have had the world if he wasn’t so stupid.
