Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock during the 2022 Oscars. The slap occurred after Chris Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head, referencing the movie "G.I. Jane." Jada Pinkett Smith has alopecia, a condition that causes hair loss. Will Smith walked onto the stage, slapped Chris Rock across the face, then returned to his seat and shouted for Rock to keep his wife's name out of his mouth. Smith later apologized publicly and was banned from attending Academy events for 10 years following the incident.
