Will Smith’s Son Approves Of Dad Smacking Chris Rock; Academy Could Ask Actor To Return The Oscar?

Oscars
2022
had
many
winning
and
shocking
moments
in
the
three-hour-long
ceremony,
but
the
moment
that
left
everyone
stunned
in
the
audience
and
at
home
was
Will
Smith
slapping
Chris
Rock.
Now,
the
Oscar-winning
actor’s
son
Jaden
Smith
has
reacted
to
the
same
on
his
Twitter
account.

During
the
live
ceremony,
Chris
Rock
joked
about
Will
Smith’s
wife,
Jada
Pinkett
Smith,
looking
like
GI
Jane
2.
An
infuriated
Will
Smith
slapped
Chris
Rock
on
stage
and
warned
him
to
keep
his
wife’s
name
“out
of
his
f*****
mouth.”

For
the
unversed,
Jada
suffers
from
an
autoimmune
disease
called
Alopecia
Areata,
which
causes
hair
loss.
The
actress
has
been
open
about
the
same
since
2019.
Notably,
this
is
also
the
second
time
Chris
has
made
fun
of
Jada.

Back
in
2016,
Pinkett
had
boycotted
the
Oscars
due
to
lack
of
diversity
of
the
nominees.
Rock
had
made
fun
of
the
situation
with
a
joke
by
saying,
“Jada
said
she’s
not
coming,” Rock
said,
according
to
Us
Weekly.
“I
was
like,
‘Isn’t
she
on
a
TV
show?’
Jada’s
gonna
boycott
the
Oscars?
Jada
boycotting
the
Oscars
is
like
me
boycotting
Rihanna’s
panties.
I
wasn’t
invited!”

Reacting
to
the
Oscars
2022
moment
without
taking
any
names,
Jaden
wrote,
“And
That’s
How
We
Do
It.” Notably,
Jaden
is
Will
and
Jada’s
eldest
son.
The
two
who
have
been
married
for
23
years
and
also
share
a
daughter
together-
Willow
Smith.

While
fans
have
been
divided
on
Will
Smith’s
action
and
Jaden’s
reaction,
others
are
concerned
about
rumours
claiming
the
actor
might
be
asked
to
return
his
Oscar
for
breaking
the
Code
Of
Conduct
during
the
ceremony
and
assaulting
a
presenter.

After
the
award
ceremony
was
over,
The
Academy
tweeted,
“The
Academy
does
not
condone
violence
of
any
form.
Tonight
we
are
delighted
to
celebrate
our
94th
Academy
Awards
winners,
who
deserve
this
moment
of
recognition
from
their
peers
and
movie
lovers
around
the
world.”

The
Academy
re-established
its
Code
of
Conduct
in
2017
during
the
Me
Too
Movement.
DailyMail
reported
that
normally
the
actor
would
have
been
removed
from
the
theatre
due
to
his
behaviour
but,
the
incident
took
place
moments
before
Will
was
set
to
receive
the
Best
Leading
Actor
Award.

According
to
reports,
the
actor’s
publicist,
producer
Will
Packer,
Denzel
Washington
all
had
rushed
in
to
calm
the
situation.
However,
after
the
event
was
over
many
actors
proceeded
to
talk
about
the
incident
and
expressed
their
distress
about
the
assault.

Meanwhile,
the
LAPD
released
a
statement
saying
that
no
police
report
had
yet
been
filed
after
the
incident.
“LAPD
investigative
entities
are
aware
of
an
incident
between
two
individuals
during
the
Academy
Awards
program.
The
incident
involved
one
individual
slapping
another.
The
individual
involved
has
declined
to
file
a
police
report.
If
the
involved
party
desires
a
police
report
at
a
later
date,
LAPD
will
be
available
to
complete
an
investigative
report,
”
the
statement
said.

In
the
past,
The
Academy
is
known
for
taking
action
against
its
members
and
winners
but
is
yet
to
reveal
if
any
action
will
be
taken
against
Will
Smith.
