Will Smith

In the world of celebrities, it’s no secret that there are certain expectations regarding behavior, especially when it comes to high-profile events such as the Oscars. However, sometimes things don’t go according to plan, and that can result in controversy and consequences.

During the 2022 Oscars, comedian Chris Rock made a joke about Jada Smith’s alopecia, a condition in which hair is lost from some or all areas of the body. Will Smith, Jada’s husband, took offense to the joke and decided to take matters into his own hands. In front of the entire audience, Will Smith slapped Chris Rock, resulting in a ban from attending the Oscars for the next 10 years. While it’s unclear what exactly happened behind the scenes, it’s clear that Will Smith wasn’t happy with the joke made about his wife and was willing to take a stand in defense of her.
