I'm usually one of the last people to poo-poo discussion of current events, but even I need to admit that all the chatter that went down between Will Smith and Chris Rock at the Oscars is getting blown out of proportion.
In the immediate aftermath of the smack heard around the world, Marlon Wayans brought it to our attention that he and his brothers had predicted the incident 23 years ago in a hilarious skit aired during the 1999 MTV Awards.
Oscar Producer Will Packer Gives His Opinion On The Will Smith/Chris Rock Altercation. The producer of this year's Oscar ceremony, Will Packer was pretty lighthearted after the incident where Will Smith walked on stage and slapped Chris Rock for making a joke about Jada Pinkett-Smith's shaved head.
In a now-viral tweet, Persian artist Rafael Shimunov pointed out that the slap that Will Smith gave to Chris Rock yesterday is nothing compared to what happened when a Native American actress tried to speak up for her people at the 1973 Oscars.
Will Smith attended the Vanity Fair Oscars party after the infamous Chris Rock slap, and the actor looked like he was having fun even after the incident.#WillSmith #ChrisRock
