Host and comedian Chris Rock joked about Will Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett, at the awards ceremony. Chris Rock then teased Jada Pinkett’s hair. So disgruntled Will Smith went on stage and slapped Chris Rock on the cheek.
After that, Will Smith tearfully apologized for his action. The incident in which fellow actor Will Smith was attacked sparked various controversies around the world. Some have argued that Chris Rock’s mockery of Will Smith’s right and wrong is due to the fact that Will Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett, suffers from alopecia. At the same time, many have argued that violence is not the answer to any problem.
However, Chris Rock refused to report the incident to the police. At the same time, the Oscar committee is investigating. Will Smith resigned as Oscar Academy member in connection with the affair.
