Hollywood sensation Will Smith received a lot of backlash from fans and fellow celebrities for his infamous slap at the Oscars. The Men In Black actor slapped comedian and the host of the show Chris Rock after he made a joke about his wife Jada’s hairline.

Although time has passed since the infamous incident it is still a talking point. Moreover, the incident was brought back to light on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast with comedian Michael Blackson. In the episode, Blackson gets candid about the incident and revealed that he did not understand the motive behind Smith’s actions. However, co-host Mike Majlak went on to give his reason as to why Smith slapped Rock in front of an audience of millions.

Co-host of Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast empathizes with Will Smith

He stated that the reason why the Hollywood star slapped Rock was that his jokes were aimed at Smith’s wife and not at him. “I know the real answer why. I just talked about this on a different show yesterday. It’s sometimes very easy or not very easy, but it’s easier to get roasted personally and to take it and laugh about it and make a joke about it back whatever. But, when your family member or someone in your squad or village gets roasted this fire sometimes, breeds inside of you where you want to go into protection mode, especially when it happens to your women.” he said.

However, he added that he was not justifying Smith’s actions in any way but could empathize with him and understand where he was coming from.” I am in no way justifying his actions but I’m just talking about where that feeling sometimes comes from. Somebody goes at your kid somebody goes at your wife even if it’s just a prank or a joke man sometimes you feel that like fuel burning inside you“. he added

Moreover, he was also aware that justifying these actions was not the right thing to do, but gave us a reason why Smith opted to take such a drastic step.
