Chris Rock Gets ROCKED
April 1, 2022
During the 94th Academy Awards, Chris Rock was presenting the best documentary, but before he could announce the award, he spotted Will Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, who was sporting a shaved head. This gave Chris Rock the perfect opportunity to strike.
“Jada, I love you, G.I Jane 2, can’t wait to see it, alright!” -Rock
Little did he know; these words would cause the slap heard around the world. At first everything seemed playful as you could see Will Smith laughing at the joke, but as he looked over to Jada, you could see her staring daggers. As the laughter started to simmer down, Will Smith began to march down the runway with a grin, toward Chris Rock. It seemed like playful gesture, but then, out of nowhere, BAM! Will Smith domed Chris Rock with the fastest slap I have seen in my life. Chris Rock ate it though and Smith walked his way back to his seat. Momentarily after the slap, Rock said,
“Will Smith just smacked the **** out of me!” -Rock
After the awkward encounter, Will Smith and Chris Rock and yet another exchange, this time with their words.
“Keep my wife’s name, out your ******* mouth! -Smith
“Wow dude, it was a G.I Jane joke.” -Rock
“KEEP MY WIFES NAME, OUT YOUR ******* MOUTH! – Smith
There have been speculations that this interaction was staged, but regardless, this was one of the most iconic moments in television history.
