Here's What Went Down Immediately After Will Smith and Chris Rock's Confrontation at the Oscars

Will Smith was seemingly spotted consulting with his PR rep during an Oscars commercial break after what appeared to be an unscripted confrontation involving a slap between him and Chris Rock. Ramin Setoodeh, the executive editor of Variety, tweeted a video of what took place right after the incident, writing, "Will Smith’s publicist came over and talked to him at the last commercial. There was also someone standing next to Jada."

The Hollywood Reporter's awards columnist Scott Feinberg also revealed that "during the commercial break, Will Smith is pulled aside and comforted by Denzel Washington and Tyler Perry, who motion for him to brush it off. Will appears to wipe tears from his eyes as he sits back down with Jada, with Denzel comforting Jada and Will’s rep by his side."

Bradley Cooper was also spotted talking with Will Smith after the altercation.

The incident between William and Chris occurred after Chris made an inappropriate joke comparing Jada Pinkett Smith to G.I. Jane. Will responded by walking on stage and seemingly slapping Chris, and then telling Chris to "keep my wife's name out of your fucking mouth" repeatedly.

At this point, Will hasn't commented publicly on what happened.
