Joseph Patel, the producer of music documentary Summer of Soul, has accused both Will Smith and Chris Rock of selfishness in overshadowing his film’s triumph on Sunday night at the Oscars.
Patel, who produced the documentary alongside Robert Fyvolent, David Dinerstein and director Questlove, said he was “still trying to make sense” of the exchange, which saw Smith slap Rock for making a joke about his wife’s alopecia.
