See Will Smith Slap Chris Rock During The Oscars
If you haven’t seen the video, trust us, it’s a must watch.
Chris Rock was set to introduce another award but as so many comedians do, he took a second to tell some jokes at the expense of the stars in the audience. One joke, according to Will Smith, went a little too far. See below.
Rock joked about Jada Pinkett-Smith’s shaved head saying, “G.I. Jane 2, can’t wait to see it!” What seemed like a harmless joke actually is quite sad considering Pinkett-Smith has been open about her struggle surround alopecia, a disease that causes a lack of hair growth.
She actually chose to shave her head back in December noting in an Instagram caption, “Me and this alopecia are going to be friends … period!”
Was this joke written prior? Was it an improvisation from Chris Rock? Was Will Smith’s reaction warranted? Jeff and Aimee In The Morning reacted this morning.
During a commercial break, Tyler Perry and Denzel Washington approached Will Smith and talked with him
