Will Smith punch

He then set out to make what seemed like a lighthearted joke about Jada Pinkett Smith, actress and wife of actor Will Smith. His comment alluded to her baldness ...

But if nothing else, the world now knows more about alopecia, and hopefully some sensitivity to those living with this condition will increase, jokes, expletives, and jaw punches aside. Alopecia occurs in both men and women, and typically occurs rather suddenly by patchy areas of hair loss throughout the scalp. He tearfully likened his actions protecting his wife, Jada, to the powerful sense of protection Richard Williams felt towards his family. She embraced it, and even lightened the serious nature by suggesting she’d add rhinestones to the most visible area of hair loss. Chris Rock’s comment about Jada Pinkett Smith, who recently went public and shared her hair loss story as due to a condition called alopecia, was not well-received by Mr. Smith. What began as several hairless patches on her scalp extended to more, and she made the decision to shave her hair completely, as well as to share her story with the world.

Yes, Will Smith just slapped Chris Rock at the Academy Awards. No, it wasn't planned. Here's how Smith later addressed it.

Sunday was not the first time Rock took a dig at Pinkett Smith during an Oscars ceremony. “It’s also not fair that Will was paid $20 million to do ‘Wild Wild West.’” Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties — I wasn’t invited!” “Keep my wife’s name out your f— mouth!” Smith shouted at Rock after returning to the audience. “This is going to be a little bit more difficult for me to hide, so I thought I’d just share it so y’all not asking any questions. I want to apologize to the academy. That’s when the devil comes for you.’” According to NBC News, Pinkett Smith revealed in 2018 that she had been diagnosed with alopecia. “Doesn’t she have a TV show? But Mama’s going to put some rhinestones in there, and I’m going to make me a little crown.” Setoodeh also reported that Smith’s publicist spoke with him during commercial breaks — as did Oscars producer Will Packer. “Will Smith just smacked the s— out of me,” a shell-shocked Rock said from the stage after Smith attacked him.
