"He Deserved It" Jada Pinkett Smith Speaks On Will Smith Slapping Chris Rock

Jada Pinkett Smith Speaks On Will Smith Slapping Chris Rock

If you thought that slap was a skit, well you’re not the only one.

A lot of people who tuned in to watch this year’s Oscars and saw Will Smith walk on stage and smack Chris Rock thought this was some kind of a bad joke.

But just moments later the mood changed and it suddenly became clear Will wasn’t playing around.

This is definitely one of those moments that will go down in pop culture history so let’s break down what happened.

The 94th Academy Awards saw Ariana DeBose become the first openly queer woman of colour to win an Oscar and Troy Kotsur become the first male deaf actor to win the Academy Awad for Best Supporting Actor.

However, these historic moments were overshadowed by a nasty altercation between Will Smith and Chris Rock.
