Steve Harvey calls Will Smith slapping Chris Rock a ‘punk move’: ‘I lost a lot of respect for him’
Steve Harvey believes Will Smith’s slap of Chris Rock at the Oscars was a “punk move,” that he only did because he knew no one would stop him during the live broadcast.
“I lost a lot of respect for him,” Harvey told an audience of a few dozen law students and more than 100 others who came to hear him speak at Georgia State University on April 25, according to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution story that’s now making national headlines.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I’m like a 2,” the Judge Steve Harvey star, whose legal documents had been examined by the students as part of their curriculum for the semester, said. “That’s the level of Christianity I can work on. You slap [Pastor] T.D. Jakes, he’ll turn the other cheek. You slap me? If you sit back in your seat, Jada [Pinkett Smith] would have to move out of the way. That’s the type of Christian I am.”

Last month, he resigned from the organization, just before officials decided to ban him from academy events for the next 10 years. However, they allowed him to keep the Best Actor award that he won moments after striking Rock for his work in King Richard, playing the father of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams.
