During the 2022 Academy Awards, actor Will Smith went on stage and slapped comedian Chris Rock across the face for making a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, who has alopecia, a disease that causes her to experience balding. Although he laughed at first, Will Smith took exception to the joke and felt he needed to teach Rock a lesson. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET.

“Will Smith slapped Chris Rock across the face at the 2022 Academy Awards — and it didn’t look planned.
Rock was on stage presenting the nominees for Best Documentary, which Summer of Soul ended up winning, when he took a jab at Smith’s wife, actress Jada Pinkett Smith.
“You know who’s got the hardest job tonight? Javier Bardem and his wife are both nominated. Now, if she loses, he can’t win,” Rock joked. “He is praying that Will Smith wins, like, please, lord.”
That’s when he took a swipe at Pinkett Smith, adding, “Jada, I love you. ‘G.I. Jane 2,’ can’t wait to see it.”
The joke was likely a reference to Pinkett Smith’s baldness, which is a personal topic for the actress, who revealed her alopecia diagnosis in 2018.
Smith stormed up onto the stage following the quip and slapped Rock right across the face — in a swing that was hard enough for the mic to pick up.”
