Rock appeared on stage to present the Oscars for Documentary Feature and then mocked Jada-Pinkett Smith (Will Smith’s wife) for being in “GI Jane” for having shaved a bald head. Last year Jada Pinkett Smith announced that she had shaved her head after battling alopecia.
Initially, Smith was laughing but Jada was clearly impressed by the joke. Smith then went on stage to punch The Rock. Minutes after the incident, Smith was declared Best Actor at the Oscars. And during his acceptance speech, he apologized for his behavior.
The 94th Academy Awards took place on Sunday at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles.
