"KEEP MY WIFE'S NAME OUT OF YOUR FREAKING MOUTH!!!"
- Will Smith, 2022
Things took a really dark turn at this year's 94th annual Oscars Academy Awards® broadcasted on Disney-ABC on March 27th. Chris Rock was just minding his own business trying to do an innocent job presenting the next category. But then he took it a little bit too far when he promoted GI Jade II through making a joke about Will Smith's wife Jada Smith which unfortunately pulled the trigger for the Men in Black and The Fresh Princes of Bel-Air actor and rapper.
At this moment, Smith realized that Chris was taking it too far. He got up out of his seat in the crowd, went up on stage and smacked Chris Rock in the face (and they ACTUALLY ALLOWED THIS to air on Disney's ABC channel and get away with it). Rock tried to rub it off thinking Smith was being too sensitive and that it was just a comedy joke, but Smith was not having any word of it as he angrilly swore at the Bee Movie and Madagascar III: Europe's Most Wanted star "KEEP MY WIFE'S NAME OUT OF YOUR FREAKING MOUTH!!!!!!" and went back to his seat in frustration.
The slap was so PAINFUL to watch that one of the stage managers demanded Smith to be escorted out of the theater after beating up another celebrity live on national television. But in true awards show style, Smith threw a curse word shade at them, which reminds us that you can't tell Will Smith what to do because he's a multi-millionaire.
Unfortuantely after the ceremony, the public was not happy and wrote to Chris Rock about the incident with sympathy. They were all hoping for Rock that this never happened and that this was supposed to be his night. Even Smith himself apologized to him on his social media the day after the ceremony but unfortunately, it was too little, too late. Luckilly, Rock wasn't accused and didn't have to pay any charges.
The next ceremony target is this year's 64th Grammy® Awards airing tonight at 5PM ET/4c on CBS, A Paramount Global Channel. You can also livestream the event on the Paramount+ SVOD through the Premium subscriptions
