In a truly shocking moment, Will Smith just smacked Chris Rock in the face after the comedian made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith at The Oscars.
Chris was up on stage Sunday presenting for Best Documentary, but before he started naming the nominees ... he was firing off zingers to the crowd, and eventually landed on Will and Jada Pinkett Smith.
Chris made a comment about Jada's shaved head ... saying he couldn't wait to see 'G.I. Jane 2' -- which got some groans from the crowd, to which he just sorta shrugged off.
Chris didn't think he'd crossed a line, but Will clearly did ... because he stormed the stage and literally socked the dude in the face. A stunned Rock exclaimed, "Wow. Will Smith just smacked the #### outta me."
The American broadcast on ABC muted, and even froze, but in other countries it continued ... and Will shouted "Keep my wife's name out your #### mouth" twice to Chris.
Chris eventually gained his composure again and carried on with handing out the Oscar, but the room was left tense with a sense of unease.

He looked like a fool and Chris Rock handled it well. I only watched the minute long clip.
the real question is whether sean penn melted down his old oscar?
I thought the same thing and Jade turned up her entitled nose at the joke. Such thin skinned insecure people.
Considering the size/weight difference even an open handed slap from Smith had to hurt a lot. Rock took it well. It sure sounded hard too.
black on black violence so we are supposed to ignore it right?
BS! He was acting like an entitled F###ing baby on international TV.
What’s the advantage in confirming the stereotype that blacks are prone to anger and violence?
I thought he and his wife have an “open marriage”. Why would he then get upset at a slap at his wife?
not watching....just cruising the threads here on FR
The close cropped ugly lady sitting next to the crybaby Will Smith.
These are professional actors. They get paid a lot of money to make things look real.
Yea, an alopecia joke is where he draws the line apparently-—
The original joke would have been funnier if it was fake..
Rumor has it Smith is gay as a blade.
Watch some of his movies again, such as Bad Boys 2. He’s got the guy mannerisms down pat.
Or he was justifiably defending his wife.
Open marriage. I’ve read that he is gay. All a cover.
If Smith were that pissed he would have squashed Rock. Likely a total skit.
Gay mannerisms
Rock should’ve said….”Hey Wilma, after that powder puff punch maybe YOU would be a better GI Jane than your wife.”
Looked like a ‘hollywood’ punch so at first I thought it was staged but then Rock looked genuinely off his game after and Jada looked not happy when Rock made the joke in the first place, although Smith at first was laughing. Not sure but the yelling obscenities seemed not to fit in with the tv Oscars, and that is the only thing that makes me think it was real..
