It was when Chris Rock made fun of Jada Pinkett‘s bald hairstyle just before he announced the Best Documentary nominees at the most recent Oscars. This made her husband, Will Smith, suddenly smack Rock while the show was still being broadcast live. Meanwhile, Rock made an effort to defend his joke. But, when the comedian started mentioning his wife, the actor shouted from his seat to stop him. He said, “Keep my wife’s name out of your f**king mouth.” Then, taking advantage of the occasion, he would plead with the Academy and his fellow nominees for forgiveness, saying, “Love will make you do crazy things.”
Later, it was discovered that Will Smith was so offended by Rock’s joke that it caught everyone’s attention. The actor, for his part, apologized on Instagram, and thus, Rock chose not to pursue legal action.

Pinkett also gave her reasoning for not celebrating her and smith’s wedding anniversaries on a recent episode of Red Table Talk. she believes that their marriage, which she and her husband officially sealed on December 31st, 1997 in Baltimore, has evolved into more of a partnership than any sort of marriage. “It’s more of a life partnership, so it’s not steeped in marital,” she shared.
Speaking of his bad behavior of slapping Rock, Twitter users were outraged by the sudden, high-octane interruption despite Smith’s public apology. While some people believed Smith was justified in his response to the joke and used needed force to defend Pinkett, others believed that using violence to resolve a dispute is never the best course of action.
“Will Smith smacked a man and won an Oscar 10 minutes later. That was some legendary shit,” one user commented. Another one tweeted, ” Chris Rock made the joke but Will Smith delivered the punchline.” Another user questioned whether Will Smith was an innovator. “He’s changed the heckling game forever.”

So that the two can concentrate on their families and careers, it is hoped that the recent incident involving the Oscars will end amicably. How long it would take for these problems to be resolved, is still unknown.
