Will Smith stormed the stage of the Oscars and hit Chris Rock in the face after the comedian made a joke about his wife. The actor, who went on to win Best Actor later on Sunday evening, appeared to take offence to a gag Rock made about Jada Pinkett Smith’s short haircut. The Magic Mike XXL star and Red Table Talk host has previously spoken about her experiences with hair loss and said her struggle with alopecia is what prompted her to shave her head.
Speaking on Instagram last year, the actress explained: "Now at this point, I can only laugh… y’all know I’ve been struggling with alopecia. Just all of a sudden, one day…it just showed up like that. "Now, this is going to be a little bit more difficult for me to hide.
“So, I thought I’d just share it so y’all not asking any questions…Mama’s gonna have to take it down to the scalp so nobody thinks she got brain surgery or something. “Me and this alopecia are going to be friends … period!"Referring to Pinkett Smith’s buzzcut, Rock said: “Jada, can’t wait for GI Jane 2”, to which the actress rolled her eyes. The comedian’s joke was a reference to the 1997 movie G.
I Jane, starring Demi Moore sporting a buzzcut similar to Jada’s. However, the comment prompted Will to walk up on stage where he slapped the presenter, before returning to his seat. Rock appeared shocked and flustered by the incident as he tried to resume presenting the best documentary feature category.
He said: “Wow. Will Smith just smacked the s**t out of me. ”Smith then responded by shouting twice: “Keep my wife’s name out of your f****** mouth.
