Actor Will Smith made sure that everyone would only be talking about one thing post-Oscars ceremony when he marched up to the stage and hit Chris Rock after the comedian had made a joke about his wife’s haircut, with Jada Pinkett Smith having previously spoken about her struggles with alopecia. It’s the latest incident in a testy relationship between the pair, with Rock previously making a joke at Smith’s expense during the 2016 iteration of the Academy Awards.
Both stars involved seem to be coming out of the incident badly, with people taking to social media to pronounce the 57-year-old comedians joke in bad taste, but that Smith’s reaction was over the top – and bringing violence into the equation is not the answer.
