washington, tyler perry and bradley cooper all photographed speaking with smith during the commercialsrious discussions about removing mr. smith from the theater. rock hasn't spoken out publicly just yet, but he was all smiles at the oscars after party. the confrontation overshadowing what should have been a career highlight for smith, and also a comeback of sorts for the oscars, 15 million viewers tuned in a year after covid forced a much more low key ceremony. the show's producer will packer tweeted, this was a very painful moment for me. ♪ now this is the story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down ♪ >> reporter: for many the incident is at odds with the public image of will smith as the fresh prince of bel-air. and one of the world's biggest superstars with a record $800 million consecutive block busters.el our phphia stationpvinn exclusive interview even she was surprised by her son's on-stage actions. >> he is a very even people person and that's the first time i've ever seen him go off, the first time in his lifetime. >> reporter: in november, smith told me about

and i will note that den sell dl washington and tyler perry were consoling will smith during the commercialt smacked chris rock across the face. will smith, something is wrong with him that he can't control himself and then he apologizes to the academy and the other nominees but not to chris rock. chris rock is a comedian and you kind of -- he's made fun of jada pinkett smith previously when he hosted the oscars telecast a few years ago but who cares. you're rich. and you're about to win an academy award and you just embarrassed yourself and your entire family. he can't control himself? i mean, i have a bad temper. my temper, i go from defcon five to defcon win in a sneeze and i never smacked anybody. .maria: look, chris rock is supposed to be a comedian, victoria, he was supposed to be up there making jokes about the people in the room. i mean, i don't know what will happen here and whether or not he is going to be forced to give back the oscar. that was serious stuff that happened last night. >> it really was. and i mean, isn't that part of why can people watch these award ceremonies is b

what hasn't been talked about enough denzel washington and tyler perry were in that studio and calmed they got in and handled it i think chris rock should have socked him back because, you know, you hit me, i'm telling you hit me, that's where i draw the line. i'm a gentleman until you put your hands on me. >> ainsley: serena and venus' dad said you don't hit unless it's self-defense. that's where i stand on. that was to the criminal thing that earn has been talking about. i have been always been an advocate for talking to the victims. chris rock has said he doesn't want to press any charges. he doesn't want to go through the process. i do find it interesting that l.a. the reason why they are saying they are not doing charges because of what chris rock said. they don't do that at all right now. there are plenty of victims that have been asking them to keep the people behind bars and they allowed them back on the street. can we have a little bit of equal justice? >> steve: this is a case where there are 15 million witnesses. it's not like there is nobody that can tell the story. he tel
