So the 20/20 hindsight answer from Will is "no" to defending with violence, some perceived dishonor cast upon one's loved one.
What appears to have happened is that he brought dishonor upon himself and others...and placed the fault firmly on his own actions [not having self control].
Perhaps some monetary settlement to Chris might also be considered appropriate, since the act was also against the law of the society he belongs to...where fines are considered appropriate....

........................ Will Smith resigns from Academy over Chris Rock slap
Will Smith, facing possible expulsion or suspension after he assaulted Chris Rock during last Sunday’s Oscars telecast, has instead resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences. The move comes as the actor is embroiled in the gravest crisis of his career and as the organization behind the Academy Awards has struggled in its attempts to deal with the fallout from the altercation. In a statement, Smith called his actions “shocking, painful and inexcusable” and said that he will accept any additional consequences that the Academy’s Board of Governors deems appropriate.
