A different kind of slapstick. David Spade, Kathy Griffin and more comedians voiced their concerns after Will Smith hit Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars.Viewers and attendees were shocked when Smith, 53, rushed onto the stage during the Sunday, March 27, awards show after Rock, 57, made Jada Pinkett Smith the butt of one of his jokes. “Jada, I love you.
G.I. Jane 2, can’t wait to see it. Alright?” the former Saturday Night Live cast member quipped, referring to the 50-year-old actress’ shaved head.The comment prompted Smith to march up to Rock and slap him across the face.
Once he returned to his seat, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air alum yelled, “Keep my wife’s name out of your f–king mouth.”Social media was instantly abuzz as Oscars fans attempted to determine whether the moment was scripted.
