You notice in most articles they don't talk about her medical condition that Rock was making fun of. It was a shitty thing to do, and he absolutely deserved to be bitch slapped for it. Now, if Smith should have done it is a different story. He should have probably brought it up privately. I'm 100% sure this wasn't staged. The right move probably would have been for them both to get up and leave. It would have brought the point home even more when he won the award and wasn't there to accept it.
