Will Smith hits comedian Chris Rock!
Will Smith hit Chris Rock in the middle of the Oscars for joking about his wife Jade Pinkett-Smith.
Will Smith and Chris Rock staged the drama at the 94th Academy Awards. The controversial comedian was one of the presenters at the award ceremony, and his comment about Will’s wife Jada Pinkett-Smith didn’t sit well with the actor.
Namely, Chris compared Jada to 'GI Jane' because of her shaved head, despite the fact that the actress spoke openly about the problems that cause her hair loss. Will then took the stage and hit Chris.
There was silence in the hall, and Twitter burned with comments.‘Leave my wife’s name,’ Will shouted at the end as he returned to the scene, and before the drama on stage, Jada openly rolled her eyes at the inappropriate joke.
'Will Smith just broke me in front of everyone. It was the biggest night in television history, 'said Chris after the drama. By the way, this is not the first time he joked about a famous married couple. When he hosted the 2016 awards, he said: 'Jada Pinkett Smith boycotting the Oscars is like I'm boycotting Rihanna's panties - I'm not invited!'
During commercial breaks, Will was immediately approached by publicist Meredith O. Sullivan to talk. During the same break, the actor was approached by his colleague Denzel Washington to talk in private.
After that, Will won an Oscar for Best Actor for his performance in the film ‘King Richard’, but the incident certainly threw a stain on his award.
Recall, actress Rebel Wilson, who has been in the spotlight for the past year mainly because of her drastic transformation and significant weight loss, has attracted attention as a presenter at the recent BAFTA Awards. In addition to pointing her middle finger as a message to Putin, her unsavory joke about Will Smith and his wife Jade resonated.
‘ I think his best performance this year is that he wasn’t bothered by all of his wife ’s guys,’ Rebel said. Will, who did not attend the BAFTA Awards since appearing at the Critics Choice Awards that evening, commented on her comment.
‘ I can say that in our marriage has never been infidelity. Jada and I talk about everything and we never surprised each other with anything, never, ‘said Will.
