Will Smith's attack on comedian Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars is not the first time there has been bad blood between the pair. In 2016, the stand-up comic hosted the Academy Awards, where both the King Richard star and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, were the butts of some pointed jokes..
Rock made fun of Pinkett Smith’s public avowal to boycott the show after another year of all-white acting nominees. He said: “Jada said she’s not coming. I was like, ‘Isn’t she on a TV show?’ Jada’s gonna boycott the Oscars? Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I wasn’t invited!”
