Video: Will Smith slaps reporter who tries to kiss him on red carpet


Will Smith was making his way down the red carpet at the Moscow premiere of Men in Black 3 today when a Ukrainian reporter tried to kiss him. The actor, who was caught off guard, first pushed away the journalist before slapping him across the face with the back of his hand, asking, “What the hell is your problem, man?”

Moments later, Smith, still on camera, said that the male reporter tried to kiss him on the lips, and added, “He’s lucky I ain’t sucker punched him.” Very lucky! Haha

Was Will Smith right to have slapped the journalist? Please watch the video and share your thoughts.

  11. He did not slap the journalist.
    He was not wrong. Infact he was playful.
    A real slap and the guy woulda lost teeth. Stop sensationalizing the man's actIon. You and TMZ

  12. What was he supposed 2 do? if he had allowed d dude 2 kiss him, am sure d question here would v been 'is he gay?' d back hand slap was asked for by d guy.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Absolutely Right! How could he try to kiss him on the lips? Eeeewwwwww!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Good for d gay foolish reporter

    ReplyDelete
  15. A more deafening slap would've done justice. If the reporter had tried doing such with an actress, he'd have been sued for sexual harassment straight up. Another example of Sexism

  16. honestly Will, i would have done the same thing.... that serves him right, maybe he is gay.. who knows

    ReplyDelete
  17. What a silly question to ask,eh?
    He did that to get a reaction from Will & a law suit may be in the offing.....what a plonker!
    I'm a fan and ticked off big-time!
    Can't stop this hissing fit.....rubbish,utter rubbish.

Now gay men are not even ashamed anymore to misbehave in public! They do wathever they want because they have support from many people, including Obama (clap for your self sir, see what you are supporting! Oloshi)

  48. It wasn't the kinda slap i was expecting . That slap was jst a mind urself kinda slap. The guy was wrong tho for trying it with him, And to think he's a reporter!! haba!!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Looks like he was trying to kiss him on the cheeks, as they do in Russia. So no he should not have slapped him, pushing him away was fine enough. The reporter was silly though, you got a hug and forgot you are dealing with a black man, from a different culture!

    ReplyDelete
  50. ...I neva saw an LIB post which such unanimous comments al thru!

    ReplyDelete
  51. Linda, Will was wrong to av slappd him... I think he wuda headbuttd d fags lips so ur question can be more stupid #mschew#. Don't knw why u wna choke dis gayism down ur readers mind, sha u be lesbian??

    ReplyDelete
  52. He no slap am well. Deputy prime minister of UK many years ago, John Prescott, had egg thrown on him and he gave the guy 2 jabs (he trained as a boxer in his youth) and the whole nation agreed with the punch. How can you violate someone like that because he is a celebrity. He for give am the sucker punch.I agree.

    ReplyDelete
  53. He shld have shot the reporter,with a GUN, on the forehead, inbtwn the eyez, .. So the reporter wld learn, *rme* dead people learn to so they don't miss-behave in the grave yarn to, gay spirit wld be bad,don't u think ---the morafuckin is my name

  65. Linda the slap no reach sef. What nonsense is that how can he try to kiss him, certainly Will is not a FAGGOT even he the Reporter is.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Hell yeah he was right but one thing "interesting " to know is that it's an old tradition in all these countries to kiss on the lips between men! That said since the man is a reporter he ought to know you don't do that with everybody especially foreigners. May be he was deliberately looking for trouble some cheap publicity stunt who knows?

    ReplyDelete
  67. This is so funny, i couldn't help but burst into laughter. That journalist was one heck of a crazy guy.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Linda what do you mean by you were only asking a question? Do you always ask questions before you receive comments or reactions???? Dat was a silly question if u ask me.

    ReplyDelete
  69. @LINDA:It was an irrelevant question,that brought out our homophobic side.Here's wat I u'ld have done: I'l slap his lips 10x over,then drag him to a French kissing booth - he'l kiss every customer - for 1 whole week,under close supervision by the Police & the Press.

    ReplyDelete
  70. the "commenters" on this blog are so ignorant... two kisses on the cheek does not mean the reporter is gay. It is part of the culture in Russia, Israel, France, Switzerland, Belgium, and so many other places for people to give two kisses as a greeting (in Switzerland, you give three kisses), regardless of the gender of the person. It is not about homosexuality, it is about the fact that Will was not comfortable with it and the reporter was stupid to think that it was okay to greet Will Smith the same way he greets his grandma or neighbor in the streets of Russia...

    ReplyDelete
  71. U sef which kain yeye question u dey ask. Was Will Smith right to have slapped d guy? U too ans d questn na! I wish it was dat Obama it happend to then we go knw d real thing wey dey im mind!! Supportin gay as if d world wud hav been filled wit over 6billion pple if gay pple whr evrywhr! Its a familiar spirit so any1 feelin an attractn to same sex u need deliverance and I knw God is ever ready to deliver u!! And u shall b free again!! GAYISM is BONDAGE!

  72. Linda no mind them jor, Nigerians are the masters of going off on a tangent. Rather than answer the question and move on, the always throw you into the mix. Kpele o jare.

    ReplyDelete
  73. I think maybe Will Smith misunderstood d guy. I think he tried to kiss him on d cheek as its done in most countries but d guy should have none not to do so as Will is 4rm a different culture. I know for sure as I've lived in d UAE b4 that Arab men rub their noses together then kiss d cheeks in greeting but they do this just among themselves knowing it would b weird for foreigners

  74. @anon10.34 u r d bigger ignoramus. U want to teach us about kissing both cheeks 2,3,6, or even 30 times. There is a feeling you get when someone wants to cross the line especially where body contact is involved.Will Smith knows what he felt. It's glaring to see, except for a blind bat. Go change ur glasses.

    ReplyDelete
  75. i agree with anonymous 10:34 am.people watch the video very well.he didnt try to kiss him oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

    ReplyDelete
  76. Is that a slap? Exaggeration on the extreme!

    ReplyDelete
  77. ANON May 18, 2012 11:13 PM,SO IF ITS RUSSIAN CULTURE THE JOURNALIST DOESNT KNOW THE US CULTURE THAT ITS NOT EVERYBODY THAT BUY THIS IDEA OF MAN TO MAN KISSING,WHAT HAPPEN TO RESPECTING WILL'S CULTURE AND DONT TELL ME YOU CAN KISS A STRANGER EVEN IF YOU GO TO RUSSIA BECAUSE ITS THERE CULTURE..

    ReplyDelete
  78. Cultural differences, and as Nigerians we are not ignorant, simple cultural differences, it's not common here either.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Will Smith is gay and hiding it. He wants the world to say he is not gay by slapping a male reporter.

    The reporter should sue him for assault. Let the fool pay big time. Igberaga... pride comes before a big fall.

    ReplyDelete
  80. @Anon..u try kissing a Italian on both cheeks without being a close family/friend..ur point is baseless..

    And Linda whats that all about..so if you happen to be on the Red Carpet with ur Man and some sleazebag (who knows what germs he's carrying) tries to kiss him..and he retaliates..you be asking him afterwards..Darling were u right to hit him..maybe u probs jump in first..cmon now..stop acting all cute!!..off camera he wouldhave had a beat down!!..

    They using Entertainment under the guise of liberalism to push down their evil intentions..using Black people..with Lady Gaga being the lone white ranger..

  81. @anon 10:34 where u dere how did u know it was a kiss on d cheek and besides if it was a kiss on d cheek will wud know #abeg park well#

  82. hell yeah he shud have slapped him. you dont kiss a distant cousine on the cheek, speak less of a stranger who is famous and of the same sex. what was that foolish guy thinkin? imagine it was 50 cent or jay z.. it wud have been a punch easy.

    ReplyDelete
  83. The guy dey lucky. Will Smith should have upper cut him in a way he will not forget in a long time. If na me be Willie I go give am serious Adokie followed by shorukye (street fighter lingo). Yeye guy wan take Willie popular, he got what he deserved, maybe less.

    ReplyDelete
  84. LOL! First of all that wasn't a slap. It's like when you push a child's forehead back and say "what the hell is wrong with you?" Secondly, I don't know if that guy was actually trying to kiss him... it kind of looked like a cultural thing but maybe that's just me. Unfortunately the journalist probably didn't think that not everyone was familiar with this culture and that some people just don't like to be touched. No apology is in order as far as I'm concerned since they both misunderstood. If he was trying to kiss him, then he deserved a smack. You don't go up to people who don't know you and try to kiss them.

  85. Na slap be dat one? If na me, na dropkick I go give am.Serious trespass!!

  97. Dat no bi slap, na tapping. If was a powerful slap, I think like 2 of his teeth wld have come off. Then we can say will smith slapped him.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Dont kno which is gayer! D fact d dude tried to kiss him or dat girly bck hand slap will gv him:-x lmao.

    ReplyDelete
  99. Linda u can so exaggerate ooo...dat wasnt a slap, it was a tap on his face nd d guy deserves a beat down

    ReplyDelete
  100. Truth be told this was a misunderstanding. The reporter couldn't be gay outwardly cos in Ukraine the law doesn't support gay people so why jeopardise your job. I've had Arabic guys peck me on my cheeks before, it was weird but I understood it's their culture. It's the same way some of us may "Dobale" even for our lecturers in a foreign university. Anyways, if it was a kiss on the lip then Will Smith was right in his actions.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Yes. the reporter could have had herpes or some other nonsense from doing gay stuff with his mouth. He should bave gotten a punch. Yuk. WIll, get an alcohol rinse. My mom uses dettol sometimes - dont ask me why. I have no logical answer.

    ReplyDelete
  102. slapping him ain't enof 4 me ,Will would ve kicked his balls... He want to kiss my main man ...he's damn mad.

    ReplyDelete
  103. does that qualify as a slap, a good punch would have been better, yeye

    ReplyDelete
  104. I watched d video many times n my observation was that d guy wanted to kiss him but he was very fast to be giving him his cheek then he pushed him away, as we can see clearly he allowed the first peck on the cheek hug him,so why wouldn't him allow the second peck if d guy was just trying to peck him
