    "I would have slapped him if he spoke about my wife like that." #WillSmithChrisRock

Will Smith a few minutes later went on to win the best actor award for King Richard based on the tennis father of the Williams sisters, he made an apology in a tearful acceptance speech. LAPD said Chris Rock declined to press charges. Was this out of order or a man defending his wife? Henry McKean has been getting reaction.

Henry McKean is in the rural Irish town of Ardee.
