Producer of Oscars Awards, Will Packer has disclosed that the police were ready to apprehend actor, Will Smith after dealing comedian, Chris Rock a slap on award night.
Smith had moved to the stage to give Rock a quick slap after he made joke about his (Smith’s) wife before the entire audience at the last Oscars.
53 year old Smith faces sanctions over his actions which was prompted by the comedian’s joke about the appearance of Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett while he was onstage at the Oscars ceremony on Sunday (27 March).
Oscars producer Will Packer has revealed in a forthcoming interview on Good Morning America that the Los Angeles Police Department told Rock they were “prepared” to arrest Smith, adding that the slap amounted to “battery”.
