During a memorable Academy Awards, Will Smith slapped Chris Rock in the face after the comedian made a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.

Will Smith's youngest son, Jaden, reacted within minutes of the ceremony ending, simply saying:"And that's how we do it."One Tree Hill actress Sophia Bush condemned the incident, pointing out that both men were wrong."They both need a breather," she wrote.

Violence isn’t ok. Assault is never the answer. Also? This is the 2nd time that Chris has made fun of Jada on the stage, & tonight he went after her alopecia. Punching down at someone’s auto-immune disease is wrong. Doing so on purpose is cruel. They both need a breather.American comedian Kathy Griffin raised concerns about"who wants to be the next Will Smith in comedy clubs and theatres".

Let me tell you something, it’s a very bad practice to walk up on stage and physically assault a Comedian.— Kathy Griffin Rosemary's Baby actress Mia Farrow was quick to jump to Chris Rock's defence, saying:"It was just a joke." It was just a joke. Jokes are what Chris Rock does. Always has been edgy. This was a mild joke for him. And i love GI JaneStand-up comics are very adept at handling hecklers.

What a LOAD of crap !!!!

What did WillSmith do when he found out his wife jadapsmith cheats? toohighmaintenance

And WilllSmith 's weeping apology was painful to watch, mostly because.. hey he's an actor .. these holier-than-thou's do this for a living. Not convinced. Strip him of the award. Charge him with assault. Throw the book at the spoilt brat

Crocodile tears. Used to admire this guy. A thing in the past.

TheAcademy should strip the Oscar from Will Smith and ban itswillsmithjr for ever from participating in the Oscars. ImWithCrisRock

His son says that’s how they do it , so I guess he cries like a baby like his daddy too …. Looking for sympathy after such a ugly act of violence…. What losers !! As Jada disrespects him in the worse way … infidelity with a mere child !!

Can you imagine if Will Smith was white

Uhm, no. It was when 6 men had to hold John Wayne because an Indigenous woman was asking for equality. SacheenLittlefeather

Well done will big hollywood show or not you didn't let anyone disrespect your beautiful wife👍👍👍

IMAGINE YOUR MOM WAS DIAGNOSED WITH LUKEMIA AND LOST HER HAIR NOT TO MENTION IN THE PUBLIC EYE AND SOMEONE THINKS TO CRACK A JOKE! ITS NOT FUNNY AND CRACK A JOKE ILL CRACK YA JAW 😤 🥳💯💪🏽🦾

Drunken Will smith assault, well looked drunk anyway!

Got lots of media attention eh? More than the actual history being made...

Disgusting behaviour from a man I once respected.

It's called acting.

Verstappen championship was the ugliest thing to happen on live television 📺 .. hello 👋!

I can’t avoid thinking what would happen if it was Ricky Gervais… the man has trashed A listers for years with far more harsh jokes than this…

If I was Smith I would have hit him harder.

Headline should be: rich liberals in shock after someone doesn't put up with my their verbal attacks.

will they arrest Will Smith for this kind of assault in a public gathering which has been broadcasted by so many Televisions around the world? nytimes UnitedStates cnni FoxNews CNBC Reuters Oscars2022

If Jada Smith doesn’t like jokes about alopecia that’s hair loss

False AF actor. Made a real tit out of himself. Lost a lot of respect from people in my opinion. I’m not going to even talk about his mrs not worth it .

Shocking.

For all who wish to watch but avoid the pre-video ads! stoptheads

Tell you something .. the smirk on his wife's face when he got up yo receive his award was really telling ...whatever she has on her husband she knows he'll do anything she says ...been there done that ..she's dangerous

Staged.. if someone comes up to you unexpectedly and whacks you in the face.. you’d be unsteady on feet and immediately hands up to defend.. human nature.. fight or flight.

Publicity stunt. Joke was so bad I googled GI Jane 2 for its release data. Who slaps WWE style when you trained boxing for months for Ali? Who doesn't put your hands in front and back off when someone approaches you? Who puts their hands behind their back and leans forward?

The Oscar’s ugliest moment is when the audience booed a Native American defending her people, and then Clint Eastwood making fun of her on stage.

Just take a look at this

That was clearly staged!! Chris would have reacted differently if it wasn't.

A very small man. Pitiable.

The guy and his ‘marriage’ are clearly messed up. As is Hollywood. No excuses. No winners.

Uglier than awarding an oscar to someone who was charged with rape & admitted having sex with a child? I get that this was bad but if people are to be ashamed then 2 men & 1 slap might be less impacting than ignoring admitted sexual misconduct with a child. Hipocrisy?

Lights, camera, and action

At the end of the day , all I saw was a man protecting the feelings of his wife. Now that's true love for you right there . Could have it been handel differently , yes of course , but love is love dudes !!! Question: Do you think that YOU would have done the same thing as Will?
