The fallout from Will Smith's altercation with Chris Rock at Sunday's Oscars is still rumbling on. The star-studded audience and people watching across the world were left stunned when the Fresh Prince and Men In Black actor walked up on stage a struck comedian Rock in the face.
The actor took to the stage at the 94th Academy Awards over the weekend and slapped Rock across the face, following a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith and her hair loss. Rock said: "Jada, can’t wait for GI Jane 2," prompting the actress to roll her eyes. Red Table Talk host Pinkett Smith has previously spoken about her struggles with alopecia and said it is what prompted her to shave her head.
Smith was soon seen walking up on stage and appeared to hit Rock in the face in front of the star-studded audience at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. He then returned to his seat before shouting twice: "Keep my wife’s name out of your f****** mouth," as a flustered and clearly stunned Rock tried to resume presenting the best documentary feature category.
