Here's how Twitter erupted after 'The Slap' (via TooFab)
Will was positioned right up front by the stage, due to his Best Actor nomination for"King Richard." After Chris made a joke at Jada's expense about her short haircut, quipping that he couldn't wait until"G.I. Jane 2" came out, things got very real very fast.Jada has been open publicly about her struggles with alopecia, a condition that affects her hair. Either Chris was unaware of this, or chose to ignore it for the sake of his joke.
Instead, he jumped to his feet, walked up to the stage and literally smacked Chris across his face on live television. It was a shocking moment that got only more confusing for American audiences as the censors tried to prepare for the worst. For viewers in the States, the audio cut out almost immediately, and even the video froze as the cameras were on Will. When movement came back, Will could very clearly be seen saying,"Keep my wife's name out of your f------ mouth."
It's possible that he was also still harboring some frustration over another joke Chris cracked back in 2016 at the Oscars. After Jada boycotted the ceremony, Rock quipped,"Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I wasn’t invited." Will would later put some context to his actions, without attempting to defend them, when he took the stage to accept the Oscar for Best Lead Actor for his work in"King Richard." In fact, it was in part because of the role he took on in that film that he reacted the way he did, per his own words.
