Chris Rock and Will Smith had a heated moment during the 2022 Oscars ceremony that is likely to be remembered for a long time.
Rock took the stage to present the Oscar for best documentary feature and made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith starring in “G.I. Jane” because of her shaved head. While Smith initially laughed, Jada was evidently not amused.
Smith then took matters into his own hands and slapped Rock on stage, leaving many in the Oscars audience shocked. The incident has since garnered attention beyond the entertainment world, spilling over into the realm of sports.
Bookmakers have even released odds for a potential physical confrontation between Will Smith and Chris Rock.
The odds currently favor Smith to prevail at -220, with Rock considered the underdog at +155.
In a related development, Pinkett Smith had revealed last year that she decided to shave her head due to her struggles with alopecia. She shared her experience on Instagram, stating, “Now at this point, I can only laugh… y’all know I’ve been struggling with alopecia. Just all of a sudden, one day…it just showed up like that. Now, this is going to be a little bit more difficult for me to hide. So, I thought I’d just share it so y’all not asking any questions…Mama’s gonna have to take it down to the scalp so nobody thinks she got brain surgery or something. Me and this alopecia are going to be friends … period!”
