A Twitter user with the handle @willsmith has been bombarded with abuse after an incident at the Oscars which saw actor Will Smith slap comedian Chris Rock across the face.
Rock had been hosting the show when he made a joke directed at Will Smith's wife Jade Pinkett Smith. He said: "Jada, I love you. GI Jane 2, can’t wait to see you" - in reference to her shaved head, something she last year announced was due to her being diagnosed with alopecia. GI Jane starred Demi Moore as a woman trying to join the Navy Seals and the actor sported a 'buzz cut' in the film.
But King Richard actor Will Smith did not take well to the joke and shocked Hollywood at the glittering awards ceremony as he got up from his seat, took to the stage and slapped the comedian.
