  1. Take Smiths Oscar away, Weinsteins and Pulanskis too.

  2. This guy is an animal. He cried like crocodile.

  3. Can this be over this is just the beginning from Will Smith and Chris Rock

  4. Mr. Smith obviously has anger issues, maybe work it out in Ukraine with the Russians.

  5. Will Smith 6′ 2″ is really angry with his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, who cheated on him with her son's friend, who is 20 years her junior. He just took it out on Chris Rock 5′ 10″ but never Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson 6′ 5″.

  6. SELL WEINSTEIN STATUES..THAN TALK TO ME ABOUT HOW YOU THINK WHAT IS RIGHT…

  7. Someone needs to order counseling for Will Smith. I hate to see the aftermath if he is truly dealing with some heavy issues and that was just the straw that broke the camels back.

  8. ,… " RICKY GERVAIS " ,..??? ! ! .. L.O.L.

  9. Oscar board of governors now trying to BS everyone, "they asked him to leave". No. You have the cops escort him out in handcuffs Everyone: sue everyone. My kids were traumatized.

  10. Men and women are currently standing ALONE even in relationships.

  11. It has now come out that the Oscars asked Will to leave after the incident and he refused. They are reviewing this right now and I think he should be banned from ever attending the Oscars and not allowed to ever be nominated for an award ever again.

  12. Wrong on so many levels. Praying for them both

  13. The Academy should be ashamed that they let the show go on like nothing happened. They got the views this year which they needed. I will not be watching next year. They truly need to make this right by Chris Rock. He look to someone to make this right. The world watched a train wreck live on TV.

  14. They should take the Oscar back and Chris rock need to smack him back

  15. Get over it already. He said sorry. You know, Forgiveness Everybody's always Preaching

  16. I'm sure the academy will get jiggy with Will Smith soon.

  17. It was all fake and who cares about an academy board?😂

  18. Jada"s comment "a time for healing" is really lame. I don't believe his mother that he has never "gone off".

  19. I'm here just to comment…

    I think that YT should enable the 👎 dislike for all to show how people feels about this sickening way of @willsmith haggling of @ChrisRock situation… Bottom line we all should be treated us with #RESPECT
