I'm of the "step out back" generation. If Smith thought it worthy of an ass kicking he could have done it back stage after the fact rather than disrupt and spoil the award show.
As for my thoughts on the slap itself. I don't think it was about Jada as much as it was about displaying the image of his manhood which he probably felt had suffered at the hands of Jada long before the night of the slap.

That last part about image of manhood suffering feels very true, from what I've gathered. Happy to say that I know very little about this couple other than what I've learned in a couple articles post-slap. It does sound like a lot of dirty laundry has been unnecessarily aired. But it also feels true from what I know about (and witnessed) how toxic relationships operate in general.
