Usually the hosts of The View are encouraged to say everything they can — but this is one Hot Topic where Whoopi Goldberg had to hold her tongue!

Once again on the daytime talk show, the ladies were discussing the shocking moment during the Oscars when Chris Rock made a bad joke about Jada Pinkett Smith‘s new bald look (brought upon by alopecia), and Will Smith reacted by walking up to the stage and slapping the comic across the face.

He released a statement on Instagram Monday afternoon apologizing specifically to Chris but also to the Academy and show producers, writing: So moderator Whoopi put it to the rest of the table what they thought of the apology.

Eventually the talk turned to consequences, and the ladies seemed to agree that even if they understood how Will could have reacted how he did, he still should face consequences for his act of violence.
