But when he saw his wife's humiliated outraged face, he became enraged, walked up to the platform, and punched Chris Rock in the face. "Keep my wife out of your fucking mouth," he yelled at Chris."It was a glorious evening celebrating exceptional talent, darkened by this necessary act of violence,  necessary because any man would do the same in Smith’s place.Considering everything that has happened in the last few weeks, including Will Smith's slap at the Oscars, the Smith family has been focused on profound healing. A title card at the start of the episode said this, which debuted on Facebook Watch on Wednesday."Some of our therapeutic discoveries will be revealed at the table when the time comes," the message continued.
