Will Smith smacks Chris Rock on stage at Oscars, drops F-bomb

Smith, who is nominated for best actor for King Richard, walked on stage and slapped Rock in what at first appeared to be a scripted joke. But the mood turned somber moments later when Smith, back in his seat, shouted back,"Keep my wife's name out of your f*** mouth."

When Rock, who joked about Jada Pinkett Smith while hosting the Oscars in 2016, protested that it was just a “GI Jane” joke, Smith repeated the same line. “That was the greatest night in the history of television,” Rock said, before awkwardly returning to presenting best documentary, which went to Questlove's “Summer of Soul ."

A few minutes later, rapper Sean Combs – on stage to introduce a tribute to “The Godfather” – tried to play peacemaker and suggested Smith and Rock settle their differences at an Oscars afterparty. “Will and Chris, we’re going to solve that like family at the Gold party,” Combs said. The moment shocked the Dolby Theatre audience and viewers at home. At the commercial break, presenter Daniel Kaluuya came up to to hug Smith, and Denzel Washington escorted him to the side of the stage. The two talked and hugged and Tyler Perry came over to talk as well.

Jada is struggling through sickness. I support Will’s reaction. He is defending his wife . People say he shouldn’t get physical but the tasteless joke is worse then the slap. Words can cut deep. When your love one is struggling thru illness and others joke about it … 😡

BLM

Another Will Smiths boo!

Staged for views.

Bad taste of a joke that landed a heavy smack on the face .. could have been avoided by both for the sake of decency - it will (smith) stay on the history
