Will Smith bitch slaps reporter
 

Think he got the wrong end of the stick.

Looks like reporter went to give him the traditional european kiss on each cheek and Will thought he was going for a full on lip lock lol

Funny though.

how awkward must you feel

:s

probably the only one but I think that was a little harsh.

I really like Will Smith aswell

Hardly a bitchslap lol

The guy was a bit overboard, practically hanging on to him

Why would you think it's okay to kiss a worldwide celebrity on the cheeks though :conf2:

LOL giving him the backhand.

I can't honestly blame Will, like all big stars he will get 'those fans' Will likely thought this guy was one of them.

yeah he was way OTT with someone you'd only just met, Will could of laughed it off though

he was a bit creepy tbh I wouldn't like some weird stranger doing that to me

I like Will but came across a bit of a cock imo

I cant even watch it again its soooo awkward lol.

That reporter must be mortified.

He's still fresh...:lovedup: Lucky guy.....

but you would not hit him would you:joker:

I would say yes but then, you know as well as I do that I don't condone violence :laugh:

That looked like he did try to kiss him on the lips, that reporter was in the wrong.

He's on Graham Norton isn't he? Has he said anything?

I think it's just because I dislike him and find him really annoying but that was a bit harsh, no need to hit him

That guy likes to be hit.

I think it was funny :laugh:

Did he try to kiss him on the lips? I cant tell

Looked like that French kiss thing they do

It was a bit too overly clingy and gropey though..........way too space invaderish

Bit OTT to hit him but I can understand why he did. I love Will though.

I thought it was just a kiss on each cheek thing, but he did overdo it. The greeting is a quick kind of side peck, but he was practically pushing his face to his lips. lol

That slap should remind him not to greet Will Smith the same way you would your Granny

You greet your granny like that?

A kiss on the cheek yes, perfectly normal I'm sure

:laugh2: Matt the GoFo

What about Granny Smith? :/

ahh his little face :sad:

A guy once stuck his tongue in my ear with no reason and i didn't slap him.

Weird that Will's first instinct was violence. It was a really light slap though.

I think Will just got the impression that the guy was trying to embarass him, like sasha baron cohen on the oscar red carpet dumping the ashes on ryan seacrest. It's really not funny.
It's trying to humiliate someone for no reason.

If you need to embarrass someone else for comedy, then you arn't a very good comic. It's really a form of bullying.

But for some reason people think it's okay to bully someone if they are rich or successful.

well there is a saying that i like.
what do you give a man thats got everything?
a slap:joker:

I don't like Will Smith, but I would probably have reacted in a similar fashion to be fair, the guy invaded his personal space, over stepped the mark. Way too personal. It would make me feel uncomfortable. So fair play to Will on this one.

The guy overstepped the boundaries but I think the slap was also a step too far on Will's behalf - but then he was reacting to an unexpected situation so I think his action can be forgiven.

He got kissed on the cheek? How traumatic. Nothing wrong with pushing him away, but the slap was completely unnecessary.

it wasn't a real slap if you watch the video. It was obviously a joke slap. Will Smith is not a small or weak person, if he wanted to land a good blow he could have. It was obviously a very light slap though, as light as the kiss.

Well yeah, it's obvious he wasn't trying to hurt the guy. But a slaps completely demeaning and disrespectful however hard.

Yeah a slap is up there with spitting at someone in terms of humiliating them. But Will was within his rights to protect his personal space IMO, even if the guy wasn't meaning anything by it.

Oh wait, apparently the guy was a Ukrainian TV "prankster", Vitalii Sediuk.

The slap was deserved then :idc:
