Sean Penn’s history of violence is often overlooked by his Hollywood peers. Why?
Aside from a poor joke about director Alejandro González Iñárritu's green card, there was something else glaringly weird about his presence — Penn has been arrested for domestic violence.

On February 8, during the 57th Annual Grammy Awards telecast, President Barack Obama delivered a PSA about domestic violence and rape. During his speech, Obama said, "It's not okay. And it has to stop. Artists have a unique power to change minds and attitudes and get us thinking and talking about what matters. And all of us, in our own lives, have the power to set an example. Join our campaign to stop this violence. Go to itsonus.org, and take the pledge. And to the artists and the Grammys tonight, I ask you to ask your fans to do it, too. It's on us, all of us, to create a culture where violence isn't tolerated, where survivors are supported and where all our young people, men and women, can go as far as their talents and their dreams will take them."
