Less than an hour later, Smith won the best actor award for his role as the father of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams in the film King Richard. Producer Harvey Weinstein was expelled in 2017 after more than three dozen women accused him of sexual assault. Rock, in a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith, had referenced the 1997 film G.I. Jane in which actress Demi Moore shaved her head. The couple has been married since 1997.

Kate Hawkesby: Shame on the Oscars for not kicking Will Smith out ... (Newstalk ZB)

Well Denzel Washington was right when he said to Will Smith last night that - 'at your highest moment, the devil comes for you'. But the devil didn't just.

He should've been immediately removed from the Oscars, made to apologise to Chris Rock, arrested and charged with assault. Right out of the abusers playbook.. Yes, perhaps a bridge too far to make a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s alopecia condition, if Rock even knew about it - which is questionable - but to react the way Will Smith did, just showed an unhinged, angry, repressed and troubled man. How was he not marched out of that Awards ceremony and arrested for assault? and highly inappropriate speech, then go on to party afterwards like nothing happened. The hypocrisy here just blows my mind.

"There have been calls to have Will stripped of his Best Actor gong.

Will Smith apologises to Chris Rock after Oscars slap (unknown)

The actor says he was "out of line" after he slapped the comedian on stage at the Oscars.

"I look like the crazy father, just like they said about Richard Williams. But love will make you do crazy things." He could still receive a gentler sanction such as having his Academy membership suspended, but that may now be less likely following his apology. It would be impossible for any journalist or chat show host to interview either of them while they're plugging a new film without bringing it up. "I would like to publicly apologise to you, Chris," he said in a statement. The signs so far suggest he intends to shrug the episode off with good humour. "My behaviour at last night's Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable.
