The news of Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars may sound like stale news now, but trust me when I say a lot is still going on underneath.
Speaking on Smith's resignation from the academy, CNN.com wrote, "By resigning, Smith will no longer be able to vote on Oscar-nominated movies or performances each year."
Indeed, that is a huge slap.
This time around, the impact of a slap wasn’t only felt by the subject or receiver but also by those close to the slap giver (Smith).
The media somehow find a way of worsening the whole thing by digging up more dirt to further tint the individual’s reputation
