It’s been months since the infamous Academy Awards slapped each other when Will Smith banged Chris Rock live on the Oscars stage . Still, it remains a major topic of conversation in Hollywood. The punishments have been passed down and many have talked about the event, but now Tyler Perry is trying to clarify his actions after the slap. He wasn’t comforting Will Smith, he was trying to defuse the situation.
Recent reports claim that after the onstage altercation, Tyler Perry spoke to Will Smith and tried to comfort him. However, in a recent interview with the Tribeca Film Festival (via Term ) Perry says that after getting very close to the slap, he checked on the two men and made sure Will Smith knew he approved of what he said. King Richard the actor had done. Perry explained …
I was there, up close. I went out early to visit Chris because he wasn’t feeling well in direct terms and made sure to tell Will.
Many people came to the defense of the two men after the altercation. Chris Rock told a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith that Will Smith didn’t like, and it turned out that the slap happened on stage. This was followed shortly after by Will Smith wins the Oscar for best actor, which led to a rather awkward acceptance speech.
For the most part, it was agreed that Will Smith was the main culprit, that while Chris Rock’s joke may have been in bad taste, Smith’s transition to physical violence in response was going too far.

[Will Smith] I was devastated. I couldn’t believe what happened. She couldn’t believe she did it. And I look at this man, in his eyes of him saying, ‘What are you doing? It’s your night ‘… And come here to win an Oscar. It was one of the highlights of his career that he so desperately wanted.
In response to the slap, Will Smith was unable to attend the Oscars for a period of 10 years.
