Sunday’s 94th Academy Awards, Oscars 2022, did not end without a drama, as an American actor, Will Smith, smacked Chris Rock after the comedian made a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith.
When the camera pans over to the couple, Pinkett-Smith looks to have rolled her eyes. The joke was made after Pinkett Smith publicly revealed years ago that she was diagnosed with alopecia and has continued to discuss her hair loss since.
Smith is then seen walking up to the stage, standing in front of Rock and hits the comedian in the face.

Everyone watching at home had the sound cut for several minutes after that point, with the sound coming back just to hear rock say, “that was the greatest night in the history of television.”
But a clipped reported to be the uncensored version shows a more serious confrontation.
“Keep my wife’s name out of your f—king mouth,” we hear Smith say in the clip.
“Wow dude, it was a G.I. Jane joke,” Rock responded.
As everyone was trying to figure out what was really happening, Twitter blew up about the situation:
