That’s a slap 😤
Black on black I love it just proves us right.
Can we stop with this. Two elite Hollywood pucks letting their egos get out of control. We have a world coming apart and this has been the news of the day on all networks. Stupidity abounds
It was Chris Rock. Half Will Smith's size. Yall know if it was The Rock, Will wouldnt got up and slapped anyone...lol
He didn’t punch him, he slapped him. Punching would’ve had an element of manliness about it, slapping is what I’d expect from my teenaged niece and then, quite rightly, she’d (hopefully) be grounded.
Punches?
Think he slapped him not punched
Who cares? This is why the world is so fucked off. People think this garbage is more important than real life problems. Both are over rated
Ibwill always love will.
Cannot believe it! A hitter can get the trophy to home after hitting someone else’s face. What is the f***ing culture going on with the Oscar. Made me so sick!!!
Rock got bitch slapped by Smith
THIS IS NOT LAUGHTING MATTER. WE ARE TEACHING OUR CHILDREN SUCH A LOW BEHAVIOR
IfChris Rock was Smiths size and visa versa it wouldn’t have happened. Cowardly act.
You shouldn’t joke about a person’s condition because you don’t know how they are dealing with it. Slap well done Will
Good job, it’s not right to make fun of a lady and much less when there is or could be some negative consequences as to why her hair is the way it is. I would call for Chris to publicly apologize!!!
Will Smith should be canceled! During his speech he never once apologized to the person he assaulted on international tv!
It was a slap Foxnews.
Chris Rock made a joke on an award show that hired him to make jokes… that being said he basically compared Jada to Demi Moore. Both women gorgeous without hair. Will and Jada made it worse. AcademyAwards2022 teamChrisRock
Well, now everyone knows Chris Rock is a PANSIE. Real or not, I'd smacked Will Smith back.
And this folks is why there’s BET
Low class and poor choice of action.
Microaggressions r never okay and can sometimes b far worse than any physical assault. Abuse n any form is never okay, but don't defend the emotional abuse & condemn the physical. microaggressions WillSmith WillAndChris alopeciaawareness ChrisRock microaggressiontraining
Geeee I wonder if cancel culture . Will go after Hollywood elite. Can you say hypocrites 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Very wrong, physical violence. No more watching his movie. Period!
Everyone: saw Will Smith slapping Chris Rock. : saw Will Smith punching Chris Rock😂😂😂. This has just sum up , twisting truth to their narrative.
Probably staged, if not then good on Will Smith for standing up for his wife!
There's a difference between punch and slap
Slapped
Chris Rock won that round!

It was not a punch it was a slap. It's still an assault but as usual you are wrong
You guys misspelled 'slaps'... That open hand in the cover picture is extremely telling. Whomever wrote this article should be reprimanded for unacceptably low standards in journalism.
Will Smith IN FOCUS RIGHT NOW. How can he do something like that.
Punches? Really?
That was not cool.He should be removed from Oscars list of attendees for five years, return any if he has ever received and be taken for emotional management sessions at his own cost.Finally ,an apology is the least we can expect
Meme alert!
This was literally the only thing that could have been done to get people to care about the Oscars.
All the idiots thinking it was staged..yea OoK. The Oscars cut the audio & bc they didn’t know what was going to be said. For obvious reasons. And Will wasn’t laughing at the joke. It’s one of them laughs you laugh right before you smack or beat the sh*t out of someone. FA&FO
Ms America pageant pulled the same crap when they where dying.
Will wanted to keep Jada’s name out of Chris’s mouth but couldn’t keep August out of hers 😭💀
He could have handled it better, like after the show to talk to Chris…unless it truly was a setup. Also, he seems to be “out of this world “ lately.
Storms , punches wtf 😂 calm the fuk down we all saw what happened .. no punch but a hard slap he didn't stormed the stage he walked up the stairs 😂... You always trying to make shit up even with HD video of incident..
Is this going to be another Tupac and biggie situation.
Do you have a problem with Facts. Thats clearly a slap.
So when are charged going to be placed on will smith for assaulting Chris?
Rock is a pro…Smith an amateur!
That is assault. Where is the Police, arrest Smith. Issue arrest warrant.
It was a SLAP! Open handed! Chris himself said he got slapped! If Will Smith had punched Chris Rock, Rock would’ve hit the ground!
Will Smith, Hypocrite! He was laughing at the joke while Jada rolled her eyes 🙄
Yup! Jokes have their limitations. ☝️😑
The Oscar’s by allowing Will Smith to stay showed that they will turn a blind eye to crimes committed by Hollywood elites.
Wow, this is sad. How jokes should not be made because we don’t know how a person’s mood may be. Sorry this happened.
Slaps
His wife had some medical condition that she is losing all her hair. Very poor taste to make fun of that. I applaud Will for defending his wife honor.
It was an open handed slap. Completely different from a punch.
Who cares
Tucker is gonna be pissed!
Will was allowed to sit back down?! If it was me, I would have an assault case and hand cuffs on. Chris had no protection the Oscars!
Just one more down on my LOOONG list of celebrities that I will not support by watching and helping their ratings!!!! ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! There’s so many that just need shut down. It’s beyond ridiculous
