Don’t mess with Will Smith.

Chris Rock learned that lesson during the Oscars 2022 ceremony on Sunday, March 27, when the King Richard star confronted him onstage after he had made a dig at Jada Pinkett Smith, who struggles with alopecia. The heated exchange came after Rock, 57, made a reference to Pinkett Smith’s shaved head, joking, “Jada, I love you. G.I. Jane 2, can’t wait to see it, all right?”

As the audience fell silent, Rock quipped, “That was a nice one, okay?”

Smith then marched to the stage and appeared to slap the comedian in the face. When he returned to his seat, the 53-year-old actor screamed at Rock, “Keep my wife’s name out of your f–king mouth.”

“Wow, dude. It was a G.I. Jane joke,” Rock replied, to which Smith yelled at him again: “Yes, keep my wife’s name out of your f–king mouth!”

The Saturday Night Live alum then assured Smith that he’s “going to,” before segueing to the Best Documentary segment. He told the audience, “That was a greatest night in the history of television.”
