This isn’t the first time Will Smith has slapped someone at an awards show. It was almost a decade ago he hit a man in the face on the red carpet for “Men in Black III”.
Video from 2012 shows Smith backhand slapping Sasha Baron Cohen who was posing as a reporter. Smith was doing interviews for his movie in Moscow.
