Read our privacy policy Will Smith has been called as a “bully” and “narcissist” by Entourage creator Doug Ellin after the actor slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars. In a series of tweets and Instagram posts, Ellin criticised the King Richard star for his response to Rock’s joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s bald head. An overly sensitive out of control bully.” He also criticised Smith for taking the focus away from other winners: “Not Questlove’s amazing speech, not the deaf actor from Coda who was awesome.” Ellin – who is currently creating a TV show with Charlie Sheen – added: “They would have shot Jesse Plemons if he did the same thing.” He also questioned whether Smith should have been thrown out of the ceremony: “Should Will not be escorted out? Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally.” Smith’s reaction has also been criticised by Alan Davies, Mia Farrow, and Judd Apatow.
