Will Smith Tells Trevor Noah Chris Rock Oscars Slap Was Bottled Rage

Will was on "The Daily Show" with Trevor Noah Monday and once again tried breaking down what led up to him storming the stage to slap Chris Rock during the live broadcast. He says flat out it stemmed from rage going back to his childhood. Will explains how he went back to being the little boy who used to watch his father beat his mother, and that he was going through things that night which erupted in violence. He also makes a plea to the audience, telling them to be nice to each other because you never know another person's troubles, which almost felt like an excuse for the slap before WS explicitly noted, it doesn't justify his behavior.
