Chris
Rock
isn't
the
first
person
to
be
on
the
receiving
end
of
a
smack
from
Will
Smith
as
a
video
has
resurfaced
of
him
slapping
a
reporter
who
attempted
to
kiss
him
on
the
red
carpet
during
the
Moscow
premiere
of
Men
In
Black
3
in
2012.
For
the
unversed,
a
Ukrainian
prankster
by
the
name
Vitalii
Sediuk
had
embraced
Smith
on
the
red
carpet
and
then
kissed
him
on
both
cheeks.
However,
Smith,
53,
promptly
pushed
the
guy
away
and
then
slapped
him
on
the
cheek.
He
even
shouted:
"Hey
man,
what
is
your
problem?"
Will
Smith
was
embroiled
in
controversy
during
Sunday
night's
Oscars
when
he
stormed
on
stage
after
his
wife
Jada
Pinkett
Smith
was
mocked
by
the
comedian
Chris
Rock.
Jade,
who
suffers
from
alopecia,
looked
visibly
upset
after
Chris
joked
about
him
being
excited
to
see
her
in
GI
Jane
2,
a
film
in
which
Demi
Moore
appeared
with
a
shaved
head.
The
actor
then
decided
to
stand
up
for
his
wife
by
marching
towards
Rock
and
gave
him
a
smack
across
the
face.
He
then
returned
to
his
seat
and
shouted:
"Keep
my
wife's
name
out
your
f***ing
mouth."
The
latest
Oscars
controversy
has
resulted
in
a
similar
incident
from
a
decade
ago
gaining
traction
on
social
media.
The
video
of
the
Ukrainian
prankster
trying
to
kiss
the
Fresh
Prince
star
has
gone
viral
on
the
internet.
It
must
be
noted
that
Smith
had
later
laughed
about
the
incident
and
told
another
reporter:
"He
tried
to
kiss
me
on
the
mouth.
He's
lucky
I
didn't
try
to
sucker
punch
him.
Sorry,
I
said
that
on
camera." Meanwhile,
it
must
be
noted
that
the
Ukrainian
prankster
in
question
has
since
gone
on
to
target
many
Hollywood
bigwigs
including
Adele,
Bradley
Cooper,
Leonardo
DiCaprio,
Brad
Pitt
and
Kim
Kardashian.
However,
he
later
apologised
for
his
actions.
It's
not
just
slapping
but
a
fellow
actor
had
once
got
'accidentally'
punched
by
Will.
In
January
last
year,
Marvel
actor
Anthony
Mackie
said
on
The
Jess
Cagle
Show
that
he
bumped
into
Smith
at
a
party
in
Budapest.
Explaining
what
happened,
he
shared:
"I’m
on
stage
with
Will
Smith
doing
a
concert.
I’m
losing
my
mind.
Right?
So,
the
cake
comes
out,
we
bring
the
cake
out,
Will
Smith
sees
me
and
he
goes,
'Hey,
Anthony
Mackie.’
I’m
like,
'Will
Smith
knows
my
name.’"
Anthony
went
on
to
state
that
there
was
a
miscommunication
and
he
ended
up
getting
punched
in
the
jaw.
He
went
on
to
add,
"So,
I
go
to
like
high
five.
I
don’t
know
what
I
was
trying
to
do,
but
like
I
was
trying
to
hug
him
and
he
thought
I
was
coming
in
for
like
a
high
five.
So,
he
like
tried
to
grab
my
arm
and
he
punched
me
in
the
jaw
so
hard.
Like
he
hit
me
with
a
right
cross
so
hard.
Then
he
grabbed
me
and
he’s
like,
'you’re
good?’
I
was
like,
'I
think
so.
I
think
we’re
in
a
fight,
are
we
in
a
fight?’
He’s
like,
'no,
no,
I’m
sorry.’"
