Will Smith smacks Chris Rock at the Academy Awards

Will Smith seemed to hit presenter Chris Rock in the face with an open palm and yell a profanity at the comic for making a joke about his wife’s presence at the Academy Awards presentation. Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s hairdo was mocked by Rock, who made a reference to the movie GI Jane, in which actress Demi Moore chopped her head. Pinkett Smith has alopecia, which causes her hair to fall out. Smith, who went on to win best actor for his role in ‘King Richard,’ stepped on stage and smacked Rock in what looked to be a planned joke at first. However, Smith returned to his seat and yelled back, ‘Keep my wife’s name out of your fucking mouth’
