Bad blood between Chris Rock and Will Smith flowed long before the “King Richard” star took a swing at the 2022 Oscars.
In 2016, the stand-up comic hosted the Academy Awards, where both Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, were the butts of some pointed barbs.
Rock made fun of Pinkett Smith’s public avowal to boycott the show after another year of all-white acting nominees.
“Jada said she’s not coming. I was like, ‘Isn’t she on a TV show?’ Jada’s gonna boycott the Oscars? Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I wasn’t invited!” he quipped at the time.
Rock also poked fun at Smith, whose name had been bandied about as a possible Oscar nominee for his role in the film “Concussion.”
“Will was not nominated for ‘Concussion.’ I get it. You get mad. It’s not fair that Will was this good and didn’t get nominated. You’re right,” he said. “It’s also not fair that Will was paid $20 million for ‘Wild Wild West.’”

A three dollar Will, er, Bill.
It’s incidents such as this that make me miss Joan Rivers.
Rd later.
Those 3 jokes were funny.
That was the objective. The viewership for the oscars has been declining, and this stunt gave it the necessary buzz to get people to 'care' about it again. Two actors doing what actors do. They put on a performance in order to get people talking about the oscars, which no one has cared about in years once they went all political and "woke".
Chris Rock has been an asshole to people in the past. I think it is his real character - he is no gentleman. I saw a clip of him once in a nightclub, using his bodyguard to bully/abuse some unfortunate bystander, sucker punching the bystander during the altercation, that he created. In my opinion, he can be a troublemaker who deserves a beating.
That’s funny... Will doesn’t mind what his wife puts in her mouth.
Perfect line for Chris Rock.
Could be fake, could be real.
But if it was real, I get it. If someone crosses the line, then they get the horns of the bull.
Throw them in the flock of buzzards
Buzzard breath video by me..

LOL!
Yeah in the debate over whether it was staged or not...
I would say, Not Staged. Smith walked up stealthy to the unsuspecting Rock and delivered a bitch slap like he know how!
Yeah, that little moment was authentic.. nothing contrived there.
Also this...
“Will was not nominated for ‘Concussion.’ I get it.”
I guess Chris Rock understood having had Smith demonstrate concussion on his haid.
And their two weirdo, attention-seeking children Jaden and Willow. That whole publicity chasing family deserves nothing but ridicule.
100% agree. Rock handled it well. After watching the clip a couple of times, I believe if Rock had retaliated, Smith would have attempted to kill him.
Demonic possession on display right there folks.
No doubt Smith is cool with that...
Bet the above is why Smith really got the Oscar...
I wonder which guy Jada slept with after the show.
