Will Smith stormed the Oscars stage after presenter Chris Rock made a joke about his wife’s hairstyle, Jada Pinkett Smith.
Chris Rock, a comedian, compared Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair to that of G. I. Jane, who has a shaved head.
Pinkett Smith suffers from alopecia, or hair loss. Pinkett Smith has been dealing with hair loss since revealing her alopecia diagnosis in 2018.
It’s not the first time Chris Rock has made fun of Jada. He did the same thing in 2016.
In contrast, Will Smith stormed the stage and slapped him.
“Wow, Will Smith just knocked the s**t out of me,” Chris exclaimed, stunned.
