What seemed like a quiet evening at the Oscars, turned out to be one of the greatest moments in television history that doesn’t seem scripted. At a certain moment, comedian Chris Rock hit the stage to tell a few jokes. He decided to talk about couples such as Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz and then he turned to Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith..

He mocked the actress and her bald head by asking when the G.I. Jane sequel was coming out. All seemed well until the cameras spotted Will Smith approaching Rock on the stage. Suddenly, he proceeded to smack the comedian and return to his seat. Rock was floored as the rest of us were, he attempted to ask Will to chill but Smith wasn’t having it..

Full – uncensored clip.
Will Smith couldn’t look worse.

As a wrestling fan I thought it was fake, then realized Will Smith isn’t as good of an actor as The Rock. #Oscars #WillSmith #ChrisRock

Instead of Chris Rock, if it was 2Pac, The Rock, Jason Momoa or why not, August Alsina, the ones telling the joke… Do you think Will Smith keeps the same energy? #AcademyAwards2022 #Oscars #ChrisRock #WillSmith #slap pic.twitter.com/ZrLRYRv1GT

“It was only a G.I. Jane joke man,” responded Rock. But will simply kept repeating: “Keep my wife’s name out of your fucking mouth.” The entire audience at Dolby Theatre was shocked by what they witnessed. After Rock presented the award he got on stage to present, the entire room started talking about what just happened. Initially, the first reaction was to see if it was scripted but the moment seemed quite genuine. Rock was shocked, Will Smith seemed pissed off and Jada Pinkett clearly didn’t like the punchline of the joke. But there must be more to what happened in one of hte most surreal moments in Oscars’ history.

What’s the back story with Jada Pinkett’s hair?
What truly happened is more serious than anybody thought, Will Smith simply decided to stand up for his wife during a difficult moment. The actress has openly discussed a condition that is making her lose her hair. Clearly, Chris Rock didn’t know this and he earned that slap from Will Smith. Although comedy should never be scrutinized, some comedians will get a slap from reality every now and then. So many roasts he has done over the decades, there is no way Chris Rock would’ve exected Will Smith to be the one who smacked the shit out of him for talking too much. If what happened wasn’t anough, Smith won the Oscar for Best Actor and apologized for what everybody just saw.
