RTE’s Ryan Tubridy has weighed in on Sunday night’s Academy Awards controversy after actor Will Smith stormed the stage and slapped host Chris Rock.
Smith had taken offence to a gag made about his wife regarding her buzzcut hairstyle after she had previously spoken out about her struggles with alopecia.
Rock appeared to look bewildered after the slap, which many believed to be a bit before Smith returned to his seat and shouted: "Keep my wife's name out of your… mouth."
