<p>Following the <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/will-smith-smacks-chris-rock-for-cracking-joke-about-jada-pinkett-smiths-shaved-head-at-the-oscars-news.149689.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">altercation that took place between Chris Rock and Will Smith</a> at this evening&#8217;s <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/blue-ivys-choreography-steals-the-show-during-beyonc-s-be-alive-performance-at-the-oscars-news.149687.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">94th Academy Awards</a>, the internet has been reeling, trying to piece together exactly what happened between the two multi-hyphenates.</p>
<p>If you somehow haven&#8217;t heard about the drama, it all began when the <em>Madagascar</em> voice actor was on stage performing his duties as a presenter. Upon spotting Jada Pinkett Smith in the audience, he cracked a joke about her shaved head, referring to her as <em>G.I. Jane</em>. In the past, the actress has been <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/jada-pinkett-smith-and-tiffany-haddish-say-will-smith-and-common-approve-of-their-shaved-heads-news.139444.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">open about her struggles with alopecia</a>, which ultimately caused her to lose most of her hair, making the joke come across as insensitive to some.</p>

<p>Cameras caught the mother of two rolling her eyes, and while her husband initially laughed, as Rock continued to talk, the 53-year-old quickly made his way up onto the platform, where he promptly struck the South Carolina native across the face.</p>
<p>When he returned to his seat, Smith yelled (at the top of his lungs, according to some reports) &#8220;Keep my wife&#8217;s name out of your f*cking mouth,&#8221; and was later comforted by Denzel Washington and Tyler Perry as he allegedly wiped away tears during a commercial break.</p>

<p>While some users have been speculating that the slap was staged, others have rushed to Will&#8217;s defence, commending him for standing up for his wife. Others still – including Stephen A Smith – feel as though The Fresh Prince himself may have made a grave mistake in hitting his colleague.</p>
