Will Smith is said to have 'refused to leave' the Oscars, despite being asked to after he hit Chris Rock.
The eyes of the world were on Hollywood on Sunday night as the Academy Awards staged as glittering comeback after a Covid disrupted few years. And among the nominees hoping to take home a trophy was Will, up for Best Actor for his acclaimed role in King Richard, the film about Venus and Serena Williams' father.
However, before he won the category and went on stage to accept his Oscar, there was a very unsavoury moment when he got out of his seat and slapped comedian Chris, who was on stage to present the award for documentary feature.
