Psychologist chads where you at?

Here's my take on the slapTM

it started when Chris Rock jokes about bardem and cruz winning oscars and bardem praying for will to win it instead.
although Will laughs, the prospect of actually winning fills him with anticipation and some degree of anxiety since all eyes are on him. This anxiety requires an outlet that the circumstances does not afford him.
Rock moves on to joke about Jada while Will is still processing the emotions of seeing himself winning. he sees Jada upset and before he knows what is happening he finds himself walking on stage.
He probably wasnt even planning on slapping Rock but did so instinctively.
he sits down and realises what he has just done.
the anxiety of assaulting someone on live tv whilst also knowing he might win the top prize forces him to double down and start screaming.

as someone who is very calm and measured until i go apeshit, i can relate to what he felt during the whole incident
