Will Smith goes on stage at the Oscars and hits Chris Rock then verbally threatens him from his seat

They may end up regretting that. I think this will all blow over and be forgotten until the next Oscars presentation. Will Smith will survive this. He slapped a man, yes it was assault, but he didn't stab/shoot him. He will catch a lot of flak for awhile, then it will become yesterday's anomaly. I mean, look at Michael Jackson's story. And he still considered King of Pop.
One of them will likely still buy it, but not for a premium. They'll get the rights at a discount.
