'That was a rage that had been bottled for a really long time' (via toofab)

At another point in the interview, he attributed part of his response all the way back to childhood, saying,"It was a lot of things. It was the little boy that watched his father beat up his mother. All of that just bubbled up in that moment."

That connection to childhood triggered one of Smith's emotional responses, too, when he shared how he had to face his actions that very night from the most unexpected source. He talked about his nine-year-old nephew Dom, who had stayed up that night to watch his Uncle WIll. Afterwards,"We're sitting in my kitchen, he's on my lap and he's holding the Oscar and he's just like, 'Why did you hit that man, Uncle Will?'"

At this recollection, Smith started tearing up."Dammit, why you trying to Oprah me?" he shot at Noah."it was a mess. I don't want to go too far into it and give people more to misunderstand." Noah was very gracious to his guest and friend, offering him some advice toward the end of the interview. It's not the first time Smith has suggested that the outburst was a lot of things that had been bottled up.
