“He obviously has emotional issues,” Howard Stern told SiriusXM this day after Will Smith punched Chris Rock at the Oscars last night. “Where’s the security?” This is a live televised event. No. A The man got out because he’s Will Smith.
“He has decided to take matters into his own hands, at a time when the world is at war. Bad timing, man. I mean, calm your problem.
“It shows where we are as humans,” said co-host Robin Kuwers. “Like, you can’t even say anything in the room, so you don’t start a war.”
“It’s a sign of severe mental illness when you can’t control your urge,” said Stern, who is open about his emotional struggles.
He then added to Smith: “He didn’t think twice about what he was going to do. “Now he’s crazy when you can’t do that.”

Stern didn’t think much about the joke, but he thought less about Smith’s reaction.
“Not only that, it was a slightly offensive joke. It wasn’t a good joke. The line, to be fair, was under Chris Rock. It was a memory: “You look like GI Jane.”
The rock joke was made at the expense of Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, whose appearance is partly due to alopecia, an autoimmune disease. Pinkett Smith publicly talks about fighting alopecia, which causes hair loss by attacking hair follicles.
“Sad Chris Rock is a comedian and he’s just trying to get through the day in that awful ceremony to make King Fei laugh,” Stern said.
“[Rock is] So quick in terms of comedy, he took it and joked: “Jay, the best Oscar ever.” “
Stern said, “You’re not punching people for speaking, certainly not at the Academy Awards, and Will Smith should abstain.”
And if he hadn’t been able to do so, the radio host argued, the defense would have had to intervene.
“Here’s Hollywood, which is so outraged by every little thing. Nobody stood up and said, “Wait, we have an uncontrollable situation here.”
“How was this guy allowed to enter the rest of the awards, laugh and have fun with his wife? What he did was attack Chris Rock.
