Willemstad, Curacao. 29th March, 2022. During the 2022 Oscar award telecast in the 94th Annual Academy Awards at Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California, comedian and actor; Chris Rock and actor; Will Smith had an altercation; legally described as an assault and battery. Chris Rock made a joke that referenced Jada Pinkett-Smith and the sequel to the movie "G.I. Jane-II" because of her shaved head and she didn't laugh, it's assumed that her husband, Will Smith, became upset, got up, took to the stage, walked over to Chris Rock, and slapped him, then returned back to his seat as though nothing had happened.
THE SHOW GOES ON
Will Smith appeared to be smiling when Chris Rock told the "G.I. Jane" joke, thus the slap was unexpected for both the comedian and the audience. "Keep my wife's name out of your f**king mouth!" Smith raged at Chris Rock, despite the fact that it appeared to be a staged joke at first outburst , which was immediately followed with a second round of profanity by smith.
Music Mogul; Sean "Diddy" Combs; was one of the presenters that followed the Chris Rock slapping incident and appeared to promote "The Godfather's" 50th anniversary celebration. In Diddy's attempt to tranquilize the matter and to move on with the presentation, Diddy expressed; “Will and Chris, we’re going to solve this like family. Right now we’re moving on with love. Everybody make some noise...”
After the incident, Meredith O. Sullivan; Smith's publicist, stopped by during the commercial break to talk to him. Also during the break, actors Bradley Cooper & Tyler Perry spoke with Oscar nominee Smith, and it was Denzel Washington, that rose to talk with Smith discreetly and during Smith's best actor acceptance speech, he revealed that Washington told him: “At your highest moment, be careful, that’s when the devil comes for you.”
Will Packer, the Oscars producer, also paid Smith a visit before the best actor category was announced. Smith was nominated for his role in "King Richard" and went on to win the Oscar later that night. During his remarks Smith then apologized for his actions to the Academy and his fellow nominees, but none was given to Chris Rock immediately.
