Will Smith, Chris Rock slap ‘an assault,' 9-time Oscars host Billy Crystal says
Fox News
Billy Crystal weighed in on Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars, calling the "disturbing incident" an "assault." Smith slapped Rock on-stage after the comedian made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's bald head.
"It was a most disturbing incident, for sure," Crystal told Costas. "It was an assault. I've had experiences. I hosted the Grammys three times and I've been thrown things."
"In [Oscars] pre-production, the amazing Gil Cates, we would go through – he was the producer for six of the nine that I did – we would go through the rundown and I'd say, ‘Maybe I should be there because something might happen there. If that person wins, I should follow that.'"
