It's not okay, Will.

Hey Will. I know you’re probably too busy doing damage control with your publicity team to ever read this.

And not for a second do I imagine I figure on your list of priorities, so I doubt you’ll ever stumble across this.

But I do have a have a few choice things to say to you after your Academy award-winning outburst.

Will, I really had a thing for you. Not a physical thing, although you’re not exactly hard on the eye. ?It was more of a I-really-want-to-be-you-when-I-grow-up kind of thing. I laughed when your life got flipped upside down. I loved you in the wild, wild west and I thought you looked handsome in black.?You were legend. I’ve seen all the movies and watched all the interviews, and over the years I became a fan. Will Smith for president!

I had the Oscars playing in the background while I was working from home, keeping an eye on the red-carpet outfits. It was still on in the background when Chris Rock made a joke about Jada and you laughed along. I guess at some stage you caught the look on Jada’s face and nek minute, you went from hero to zero in my eyes. ?

What Chris said was cruel. Nothing new there – the presenters at these shows have been tearing strips off the audience for years, making us laugh by poking fun. Fun? It’s often cruel, shocking and downright mean. It’s a roasting after all. And I will never understand how being nasty to someone’s face is funny.

When you walked up to Chris and slapped him, I thought it was staged. I thought it was planned. When I realised it was real, I thought Chris did a great job of keeping on with the show. And you know, if it was just the slap, I might still be planning to rent your next movie.

What really shocked me was the unbridled anger when you shouted that Chris should keep your wife’s name out of his (bleep) mouth. The absolute fury and hatred. If I had been near you in that moment, I would have moved away from you out of genuine fear.

You must have known that this live event was being shared with millions of people around the world. You must have known they couldn’t edit the slap out or bleep your swearing. You must have known that, and yet you COULDN’T CONTROL YOUSELF. That's a mighty big anger issue you got there Mr!

I hope you get some help, because whatever is said, whoever the butt of the joke is, it is NEVER OKAY to lash out. If you cannot pause between someone else’s action and your own reaction, then you need to get some help. Because it's not okay, Will. It's never okay.

You’re not such a fresh prince now, and you’re certainly no King. You have a long, long way to go before your adoring fans will forget this act of violence. And they might never forget your inability to control yourself. Because that was the truly scary bit.
