Will Smith was 100% in the wrong here.  he was laughing at Chris' joke until he saw the reaction of his wife.

he had the opportunity to apologize to Chris when he gave his acceptance speech.  instead, what he said resembles  "DARVO" in the parlance of abuse:  Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender.

now obviously, the 'abuse' was simply a slap in the face, followed by a foul-mouthed verbal tirade.  but the approach is basically the same.  and at this point, it is clear that Smith needs counseling.

I understand Smith has apologized, a good thing if he wants to return to his good guy repertoire.

That ship has sailed. He needs to enter an anger management program, blame it on meds, something. To go from laughing to hitting someone in seconds seems to show someone in need.
