EXPLAINED: The range under fire from shoppers over will smith oscar attack joke - The Real Truth

The Range has been criticised by shoppers for making light of Will Smith's Oscars attack. The incident, in which the Men In Black star waltzed up onto the stage and hit Chris Rock in the face, has become the most talked-about event of the star-studded ceremony.

It came after the comedian made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith, Will's wife, and made a direct reference to her hairdo. Chris had told Jada, who suffers from alopecia, that he was excited to see her in GI Jane 2, referencing the famous shaved head Demi Moore donned in the film.

Red Table Talk host Pinkett Smith has previously spoken about her struggles with the condition and said it is what prompted her to shave her head. A-list onlookers and those watching around the world were left stunned with the incident, which retailer The Range has decided to use as the basis of a social media post.
