Will Smith confronted actor and comedian Chris Rock on Oscars stage after comedian made a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith.
Rock made a joke about Pickett-Smith starring in “G.I. Jane 2,” which she did not laugh at, apparently because her head is shaved.
Pinkett-Smith last year publicly shared that she had alopecia.
Smith could then be seen walking to the stage, where he appeared to hit Rock.
Viewers at home were confused as to whether the altercation was staged at first, although the audio was cut as Smith seemed to yell an obscenity at Rock while walking back to his seat in the audience.
Once seated he again, on camera, yelled at Rock “Keep my wife’s name out of your f****** mouth!”
Diddy, the next presenter, attempted to redirect the ceremony from the altercation, which left the audience stunned.
“Will and Chris, we’re going to solve that like family. Right now we’re moving on with love. Everybody make some nose,” he said before beginning his presentation.
