Will Smith appears to slap Chris Rock at Oscars after joke about Jada Pinkett Smith
Smith approached Rock from the audience after Rock made a joke about Pinkett Smith's baldness.
If you were stunned while watching Will Smith appear to slap Chris Rock during the 94th Academy Awards on Sunday, you were hardly alone.
Shocked viewers took to Twitter trying to make sense of the moment, which happened when Smith approached Rock on the Oscars stage after Rock made a joke about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
In the lead-up to the altercation, Rock was ribbing his fellow Hollywood stars in the audience, at one point suggesting that married couple Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz, who were both nominated this year, would find it awkward if only one of them won an award.
