In one of the most shocking moments in Oscars history, Will Smith stormed onstage and slapped presenter Chris Rock for a joke the comic made about Smith\u2019s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.<\/p>\n
The drama began while Rock was presenting the best documentary during the 2022 ceremony. Rock made a crack about Pinkett Smith getting ready to film a sequel to G.I. Jane \u2014 an apparent reference to the actress having a shaved head.<\/p>\n
Smith laughed, though looking a bit uncomfortable. Pinkett Smith rolled her eyes and glared at Rock.<\/p>\n
Hearing disapproval from the crowd, Rock implored, \u201cThat was a nice one!\u201d<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when Smith stood up, stormed onstage and smacked a stunned Rock in the face.<\/p>\n
As Smith went back to his seat, Rock marveled, \u201cWow, wow \u2026 Will Smith just smacked the shit out of me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cKeep my wife\u2019s name out of your fucking mouth!\u201d Smith roared, again seated in the audience.<\/p>\n
\u201cWow dude, it was a G.I. Jane joke,\u201d Rock said, which prompted Smith to repeat his demand.<\/p>\n
Looking visibly shaken, Rock paused for a moment and then told the crowd: \u201cThat was a \u2014 Greatest night in the history of television\u201d and then continued along with his presenter moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
