WWE stars react to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars
WWE stars are as stunned as anyone else at what took place at the 2022 Oscars telecast tonight between Will Smith and Chris Rock. What was supposed to be a star-studded night celebrating acting, filmmakers, and the very best of cinema turned into chaos after things got out of hand following a joke was made by Rock.
The joke was made about Will's wife Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head when Chris appeared on stage to present an award for a documentary feature.
Chris commented that Jada starred in G.I. Jane because of her shaved head from symptoms of hair loss from alopecia. This seemed to set off Will, who approached the stage and smacked Rock before returning to his seat and yelling at him to keep his wife's name out of his mouth.
