Oscar ceremony turned ugly when actor Will Smith stormed onstage to smack Chris Rock after the actor-comedian made a joke about Smith's wife Jada Pinkett Smith getting ready to shoot a G.I. Jane sequel — a reference to Demi Moore's film where she had cropped her hair as well as a reference to Jada's shaved head (the actress has been open about her hair loss due to alopecia) — and slapped Rock in the face.
"The bass player? He got a rule. He got to wax his head every morning. That's a rule! He follows the rules, man. He follows the rules," Will Smith can be seen saying in the clip – the camera cuts to the bassist, John B Williams, who smiles in response. As the camera cuts back to Will, someone – either Arsenio or the audience – calls him "rude"; "These are jokes, come one," Will responds.
Netizens called out the ‘Men in Black’ actor for his 'hypocrisy'.
Check out some of the reactions:
Meanwhile, Will Smith formally apologized to Chris Rock for his behaviour at the Oscars via his Instagram. He said, “I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness. I would also like to apologize to the Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world.”
