Roland Martin Deconstructs Will Smith Slap Of Chris Rock At The Oscars. WIll He Lose His Award?

Will Smith made history by becoming the 5th Black man to win the best actor award at the Academy Awards.

Smith was nominated for his role as Richard Williams in the Critically Acclaimed film' King Richard.'

However, before the actor won the award, Smith walked on stage and slapped comedian Chris Rock for making a joke about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, and her bald head.

During his acceptance speech for his first-ever oscar, Smith apologized for his actions to everyone but the person he slapped.

Jada Pinkett Smith revealed in 2018 that she was diagnosed with alopecia. She has often discussed hair loss challenges on Instagram and other social media platforms.

On Monday, Roland Martin spoke with Dr. Jeffrey R. Gardere, a Board Certified Clinical Psychologist, and Robin May, a Licensed Professional Counselor about the smack heard and seen around the world.
