Will Smith Slaps Chris Rock At 2022 Oscars
In what turned out to be a terrible idea, Chris Rock joked about Jada Pinkett-Smith‘s bald head, saying he can’t wait to see her in ‘G.I. Jane 2’ before getting slapped in the face by a fed up Will Smith.
Most people thought the moment was staged but as Will got back to his seat he yelled “KEEP MY WIFE’S NAME OUT YOUR F***NG MOUTH” to Chris Rock multiple times
The room went silent as Chris Rock tried to defend himself before Will repeated the statement for the world to see (and hear).
It didn’t take long for rumors to swirl that Will slapped the comedian because Jada has alopecia.
