Oscars producer Will Packer, who was overseeing the awards for the very first time when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock, has shared his perspective on the incident.
As far as removing Smith goes, Packer noted that he was willing to do whatever Rock wanted.
Once Rock walked offstage, Packer immediately approached the comedian and asked if Smith had really hit him.
And according to Packer, Smith reached out to him personally the morning after the Oscars.
