Will Smith Lost It At Chris Rock Over A Joke About Jada's Baldness & The Oscars Muted Him
A hand was thrown!
What just happened at the Oscars?
That was the question everyone was asking on social media late Sunday, after Will Smith blew up at Chris Rock over a joke about Smith's wife, Jada.
Smith marched on stage and appeared to strike Rock, then returned to his seat and shouted at the comedian, although his comments were censored from the broadcast.
The blow-up happened while Rock was introducing an award and cracking jokes about the audience. He mentioned Smith, then turned to Jada Pinkett Smith and seemed to make a joke about her bald head.
"Jada, I love ya!" he said. "GI Jane 2, can't wait to see it."
Rock seemed to realize the joke didn't land, because he muttered "That was a nice one" to himself.
Then Smith stepped up on stage.
"Uh oh, Richard," Rock said, as the King Richard actor marched toward him.
Then Smith threw a hand. It's unclear if it connected with Rock, but the comedian recoiled and you could hear a mic pop at the moment of potential impact. It's also unclear whether it was a punch or a slap.
Smith then went back to his seat.
"Will Smith just smacked the s--- out of me," Rock said. Then the broadcast muted all sound, although an uncensored version of the clip has since surfaced online.
"Keep my wife's name out your f---ing mouth!" Smith shouted after returning to his seat.
"Wow dude! It was a GI Jane joke," Rock said.
"Keep my wife's name out your f---ing mouth!" Smith repeated.
"I'm going to, OK?" Rock said. There was a long, uncomfortable silence.
"That was the greatest night in the history of television," Rock finally said. He then went on with the presentation, though he was clearly rattled.
So yeah. It got a bit heated.
Jada Pinkett Smith revealed a few months ago that she's been battling hair loss, and she recently decided to embrace it.
"Me and this alopecia are gonna be friends ... period!" she said.
It was the most dramatic moment of the night - and far more dramatic than the 2016 Oscars when Rock was the host.
Yikes.
