Will Smith — not long before he won best actor honors for his portrayal of tennis dad Richard Williams in 'King Richard' — marched on stage and appeared to smack Chris Rock during Sunday night's Academy Awards after the comic made a joke about the appearance of Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.

There were few, if any, smiles during the incident.

Pinkett Smith revealed in 2018 that she was diagnosed with alopecia. She has often discussed the challenges of hair loss on Instagram and other social media platforms.Smith walked onto the stage from his front-row seat and took a swing at Rock with an open palm, generating a loud smack. Smith walked back to his seat and shouted for Rock to leave Pinkett Smith alone. Rock replied that he was just making a “GI Jane” joke — and Smith yelled back at him a second time.

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.The reverberations did not stop there. Several people approached Smith and Pinkett Smith in the commercial breaks that followed; Keith Urban hugged Smith during one stoppage in the show, Nicole Kidman also went over to say a few words as well.

Is part of the show, obviously this is fake 🤔

🐐🐐🐐

This. Is. Simple. It is ASSAULT!

Shock humour. Andy Kaufman did it with a wrestler. Old news...Oscar viewers were dwindling.

Confronts? More like assaults!

It was a joke .Tried of the left always beating you the right but when they get attacked they freak out like little bitch

Staged . Great way to create new for the show

Amy Schumer not talk about doing pills Is that F’n ok Did two presenters not joke about smoking out of a Bong….. I got no issue with that but I bet many do? What can one say about a man’s wife?

Will Smith a class act stoops to violence and crashes & burns .......guess Will hasn't heard the expression 'lets take this outside'.

Shameful

He should have got a bad actor award for this shit show

If kids with alopecia can cope with it (both my niece and nephew do), then the adults can. Staged 💯

Was an awful joke but Will was laughing at first. He should have had more control and he should have been removed. Unfortunately now everyone is talking about this instead of his Oscar win.

Trying to regain some status after his wife went on broadcast TV and bragged about all her affairs, while he sat in the corner and wept.

That wasn't a confrontation, that was a slap across the face that was long overdue for Chris Crock. Will should've slapped the shit out of him harder and used him as a toothpick.

There is no justification for the way Will Smith acted towards Chris Rock.

Assault does not = confront

Geeee I wonder if cancel culture . Will go after Hollywood elite. Can you say hypocrites 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

I love Will Smith🥰

To those defending will hitting Rock for his free speech i hope you defend those that are insult by others who get mad alsp you that thing you calk cacel culture. Second his excuse was live thats what abuser always use to justfy violence

I haven’t watched the Oscar’s in years. Now I won’t miss the next episode- bring on the drama!

Deplorable act.

Hits in the face. Not confronts…

Should be Best Asshole.

I thought that was the best movie out of the ones nominated..

All thanks to cancel culture and a dysfunctional marriage

Chris crossed that line. Never bring a mans Family into the spotlight disrespectfully. It's a red line in every mafia or Comedy

“Confronts” can’t we call it what it was? Assault

Bruce Willis took it fine when he was toasted on Oscar night with being the dad of his ex wife’s husband!! Celebrity life.

So fake and rehearsed

'Confronts'. Seriously? It's 'journalism' like this that undermines the credibility of your entire profession/corporation.

Probably staged.

cuckslap

The word you were looking for is “assaults”.

This just in, CTV downplays Will Smith assault of Chris Brown.

When a husband refuses to sleep on the couch…

Confronts?

'confronts'

There is no excuse for unhinged, displaced aggression. Best actor … but worst person.

Kadri will get 10 games for this

The same wife you took side pipe 👍👍 - he is a victim

Theatre by a couple of Pfizer shills.. actors acting ..who cares…?

assaults*

Confronts?! Are you serious? It looked like his right hand “confronted” Rock’s face. Back here on earth that’s called “slapping” speakenglish

So Putin confronts Ukraine

And here they are trying to divert your focus to cover a hunter biden laptop conspiracy , dont fall in to their agenda- thats a trap 🙄

He assaulted him!

“Confronts” nice head line CTV

“Confronts”? Poor word choice. Try again.

Bad blood never ends! Oscars2022 WillSmith ChrisRock

So much when celebrities condone violence on tv, yet no one took actions from this incident? Incredible

you mean 'Assaults' Chris Rock

The award should be revoked and he should be charged with assault. All this after lamenting over how fantastic his Christian 'god' was. Typical hypocrisy. 🤔

Finally some brand new news other than war and Corona

He assaulted him on live tv and nothing happened. They gave him an award and a standing ovation.

How come Will Smith can keep his award despite assaulting chrisrock? Hmm...interesting.

*Assaults

By confronts you meant assaults, correct?

Confronts? You mean slapped right?

Meanwhile, in Ukraine...

Can't you people see what really happened? This whole Oscar incident is caused by white supremacy, racism, sexism, homophobia, and islamophobia. And climate change. Oh yeah, and Putin.

Will Smith slaps, swears at Chris Rock during live Oscars broadcast | CBC NewsThe 94th Academy Awards on Sunday maintained a buoyant spirit until Will Smith took great offence to a joke by presenter Chris Rock about the best-actor nominee's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. Lawyers will be jumping all over this one Open slap...that sounds like a punch. ( With that supposed force ..Chris would've been ROCKED to the floor dazed. ) Every actor learns 101 combat scenes.. Nice touch for a viral / PR campaign. Clever. Terrible anger management by Smith. He did not like Rocks joke and maybe it crossed a line, however adults should know better than to throw a tantrum with cursing and violence. Smith needs help, that is obvious.
