US actor Will Smith slaps US actor Chris Rock onstage during the 94th Oscars
LOS ANGELES – It was supposed to be a celebration of Hollywood filmmaking, but Will Smith hitting Chris Rock over a joke about his wife provided the evening’s most talked-about drama and a moment that will go down in Oscars history.
Celebrities from Tinseltown and beyond reacted with shock and stunned amazement to Smith’s outburst, with some defending the best actor winner and others condemning his “toxic masculinity.”
The 94th Academy Awards was in its final hour when actor and comedian Rock made a joke on stage about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, starring in “G.I. Jane 2” — apparently poking fun at her shaved head.
