American actor Will Smith broke into the stage of the 94th Academy Awards and slapped the presenter in the face.
This is how Will Smith wielded violence. He suddenly rushed to the stage while awarding the Best Documentary Feature at the Academy Awards held at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, Los Angeles, USA on the 27th (local time). Then, as the presenter, he slapped Chris Rock on the cheek. It sparked the violence when Rock said “I’ll be in ‘G.I. Jane 2′” over Will Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith shaved her head. Kat Smith revealed her medical history of alopecia in 2018. She shaved his head due to illness, which he used as a joke in public, seemingly out of anger on Will Smith. “Will Smith hit me in the face,” said Rock, bewildered. Rock previously caused a stir at the 2016 awards ceremony for making disparaging remarks regarding Asians.
Will Smith came down from the stage and shouted, “Don’t talk to my wife.” This image was broadcast live on the American terrestrial broadcaster ABC, and was broadcast all over the world.
Will Smith won Best Actor for his performance in ‘King Richards’. Back on stage, he said, “I apologize to the Academy and to all my colleagues and candidates who came here” for the violence he had wielded.
