Twitter users targeted a man named Will Smith who they mistakenly thought was the actor following a confrontation between the Oscar-winner and comedian Chris Rock Sunday night.
Being a comedian is to joke about things that others find offensive or wrong. It’s to make light of a horrible situation. To assault a comedian because you are offended is pretty sad. Definitely lost a lot of respect for you this day. This is not the other guys fault either."
The actor walked onto the stage from his front-row seat and took a swing at Rock with an open palm, generating a loud smack. Smith walked back to his seat and shouted for Rock to leave Pinkett Smith alone. Rock replied that he was just making a "G.I. Jane" joke — and Smith yelled back at him a second time.
"Richard Williams was a fierce defender of his family," Smith said as he began his acceptance speech after winning best actor honors. He apologized afterward to many people — including tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams, Richard Williams’ daughters — but did not mention Rock in his apology.
