The New York City mayor and former cop said Will Smith should not be stripped of his Oscar because the actor was 'emotional' and having a 'bad' day when he slapped Chris Rock.
Asked how he would react if the incident that occurred during the televised awards ceremony on Sunday had happened in New York City, Adams said he'd leave it up to Rock to decide what to do about Smith..’ "It's a painful moment. This is the life we're in. They did a skit on me on Saturday night Live. I had to laugh with it."
Smith stunned the Dolby Theatre crowd and viewers at home when he took the stage during Rock's remarks after the comedian made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith, Smith's wife. Rock said, "Jada, I love you. ‘G.I. Jane 2,’ can’t wait to see it." Smith walked right up to Rock and smacked him across the face.
