Richard Williams Doesn’t ‘Condone’ Will Smith Hitting Chris Rock at the Oscars
altercation between Smith and Chris Rock at Sunday night’s ceremony.“We don’t know all the details of what happened,” Richard Williams said via his son Chavoita LeSane to NBC News. “But we don’t condone anyone hitting anyone else unless it’s in self-defense.”According to LeSane, Williams was no less surprised than anyone else when Smith walked onto the stage and slapped presenter Chris Rock for joking that his wife Jada Pinkett Smith – who has alopecia – should star in a “G.I. Jane” sequel.
