So, Will Smith Hit Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars

In one of the most shocking moments in recent award show history, Will Smith took to the Oscars stage and hit comedian and presenter Chris Rock after Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith: "Jada, I love you; G.I. Jane 2, can't wait to see it," Rock joked. Pinkett Smith has been open about her struggles with alopecia. In the moments following, Will Smith, Jada's husband, walked up to Rock and hit him. "Keep my wife's name out of your f***ing mouth," Smith shouted once he was back in his seat.
