Police in Los Angeles have confirmed that they are aware of Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars.
Viewers and audience members were left speechless during Sunday night's Oscars ceremony after actor Will Smith smacked Chris Rock in the face on stage. The comedian made a joke at his wife Jada's expense which didn't go down too well.
It happened after Chris joked about Jada Pinkett Smith's buzzcut, quipping: "Jada, can't wait for GI Jane 2." The 1997 movie G.I Jane starred Demi Moore sporting a buzzcut similar to Jada's, who had previously spoken out about her decision to shave her head after suffering from alopecia.
