In one of the most shocking moments in Oscars history, Will Smith stormed on stage and slapped presenter Chris Rock for a joke the comic made about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith (video below).

The drama began when Rock was presenting best documentary during the 2022 ceremony. The comic made a crack about Pinkett Smith getting ready for the sequel to G.I. Jane — an apparent reference to the actress having shaved her head. Pinkett Smith has been open about having hair loss due to alopecia.

“Jada, I love ya. G.I. Jane 2, can’t wait to see it. Alright?”

Smith laughed, though looking a bit uncomfortable. Pinkett Smith rolled her eyes and glared at Rock.

Hearing disapproval from the crowd, Rock implored, “That was a nice one!”

That’s when Smith stood up, stormed on stage and smacked a stunned Rock in the mouth.

“Keep my wife’s name out of your fucking mouth,” Smith said in a moment that was censored in the United States but aired elsewhere.

It appeared that Rock then asked Smith a question, because Smith replied with a “yes” and repeated the demand.

As Smith went back to his seat, Rock said, “Wow, wow, Will Smith just smacked the shit out of me.”

Rock, looking visibly shaken, paused for a moment before telling the crowd: “That was a greatest night in the history of television” and then tried to continue along with his presenter moment.

During the commercial break, Smith was pulled aside and comforted by Denzel Washington and Tyler Perry, who motion for him to brush it off. Smith appeared to wipe tears from his eyes as he sat back down with Pinkett-Smith.
The next presenter, Sean Combs, addressed the stunning moment by saying, “I did not know that this year was gonna be the most exciting Oscars ever. Okay, Will and Chris, we’re going to solve that like family at the Gold Party. But right now we’re moving on with love – everybody make some noise!”
In yet another dramatic twist, Smith then won the award for best actor for King Richard.
While the Smith-Rock confrontation initially had many wondering if it was some kind of stunt or joke, any doubts were erased when Smith used his moment on stage to apologize for his actions.
“Richard Williams was a fierce defender of his family,” Smith said. “In this time in my life, in this moment, I am overwhelmed by what God is calling on me to do and be in this world. Making this film, I got to protect Aunjanue Ellis, who is one of the most strongest, most delicate people I’ve ever met. I got to protect Sinai and Demi, the two actresses who play Venus and Serena. I’m being called on in my life to love people. And to protect people and to be a river to my people.”
Smith wiped away tears and continued: “I know, to do what we do, we got to be able to take abuse. You gotta be able to have people talk crazy about you. In this business you gotta be able to have people disrespecting you and you gotta smile and pretend like that’s OK. … Denzel said to me a few minutes ago, ’At your highest moment, be careful, that’s when the devil comes for you.’ I want to be a vessel for love. I want to say ‘thank you’ to Venus and Serena and the entire Williams family for trusting me with your story. …. I want to be an ambassador of that kind of love and care. I want to apologize to the Academy, I want to apologize to all my fellow nominees. This is a beautiful moment and I’m not crying for winning an award. It’s not about winning an award for me, it’s about being able to shine a lot on all the people… and the entire cast and crew of King Richard and Venus and Serena and the entire Williams family. Art imitates life. I look like the crazy father, just like they said about Richard Williams! But, love will make you do crazy things.”
He signed off with a laugh after more profuse thanks, “Hoping the Academy invites me back!”
There were several moments leading up to the slap seen around the world.
First, it wasn’t the first time Rock has made jokes about Pinkett Smith from the Oscars stage. In 2016, Rock was hosting the event and joked, “Jada says she’s not coming. Protesting. I’m like, ‘Ain’t she on a TV show?’ Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I wasn’t invited! Oh, that’s not an invitation I would turn down!” Later Pinkett Smith would say the jokes “come with the territory.”
Then last year, Pinkett Smith shaved her head and went public with the reason. “Now at this point, I can only laugh,” the actress wrote on Instagram. “As 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.”
Then earlier Sunday evening, Smith brushed off a joke about his marriage. Regina Hall, while doing a bit about being single, invited several men onto the stage — including Bradley Cooper, Simu Liu and Timothée Chalamet — under the guise that they needed to re-do their COVID-19 tests, when it became apparent they were men she is interested in dating. “Will Smith, you’re married, but you’re on the list,” Hall said, then adding, “Looks like Jada approved it!” Smith, however, rejected her invite and nicely waved her away while remaining seated.
