In case you missed the recent news concerning Will Smith and the Oscars, here is some detailed information about it. Chris Rock, the legendary comedian, was asked to host the Oscars, and without any obstruction, he was doing his job. During the ceremony, he made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith’s wife, which was related to her shaved head. Jada has been diagnosed with alopecia and she has openly talked about it, plus she is not ashamed of it.
Between the Oscars, the rock commented on her head and said, “Jada.” I love you. GI Jane No. 2I’m looking forward to seeing you. “Now, what did his joke mean? GI Jane is a fictional story in which a woman goes through special training, during which she has to shave her head.
That’s what Rock was implying when he made a joke about Jada. After hearing this joke, Will walks toward Chris and hits him in the face. After hitting him, he says, “Keep my wife’s name out of your f***ing mouth.” Well, we couldn’t see it on his face, but Chris was embarrassed about the incident. He resumes his anchoring and says, “Will Smith just smacked the shit out of me.”
Well, this is not the first time Chris has told offending jokes at a huge award show. One time, when Chris Rock and Steve Martin were the hosts of the Oscars, Chris made a joke about Jeff Bezos and said, “Jeff Bezos is so rich, he got divorced and he’s still the richest man in the world,” to which Martin said, “I prefer getting my Amazon packages on time.” Well, Bezos was laughing throughout the show and didn’t even blink an eye on either of the comedians.
Well, it was thoroughly captured on the camera that when Chris made the joke to Jada Smith, Will was laughing, and Jada was the one who rolled her eyes at the joke, but after watching Jada do that, Will went up the stage and punched him. Netizens are saying that the joke didn’t affect Will at all; just by watching his wife’s expression, he took this huge step. Plus, there are a huge number of memes on the internet related to this particular scene.
After doing all this, Will has apologized on stage and also wrote that he is embarrassed by his actions. He writes, “I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I wanted to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.
” The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has banned Will Smith for a decade now. He cannot attend any of the shows or award functions presented by the academy for 10 years, to which Will Smith replied, “I accept and respect the Academy’s decision.
” In a letter, President David Rubin and CEO Dawn Hudson wrote that “The Board has decided, for 10 years from April 8, 2022, Mr. Smith shall not be permitted to attend any Academy events or programs, in person or virtually, including but not limited to the Academy Awards.”
Jaden Smith, Will Smith’s son, also had his own opinions about the show after all. After that broadcast ended on Sunday night, he tweeted, “And that’s how we do it.” In another tweet, he posted a photo of himself wearing sunglasses and wrote, “My dad’s speech made me cry.”
