If you thought the whole slap incident between Will Smith and Chris Rock was over, think again because we'll be talking about this for a few more weeks. There were several contradicting sources of information about what truly happened right after the moment that became the most viral video of the year and maybe even the decade. First, the Academy falsely reported that they requested Will Smith to leave the Dolby Theatre and he refused but many news outlets debunked that account. We all know the account of the police asking Rock if he wanted to press charges and the comedian refusing. Reportedly, the LA Times wrote that Packer lied about Chris Rock allegedly telling him that Smith could stay.
