Rock suggested that she star in G.I. Jane 2, referring to Demi Moore, who shaved her head in the original.<\/p>\n<p>Then, Smith climbed onstage, walked up to Rock, and struck him in the face before returning to his seat. Rock, stunned, exclaimed: \u201cWow! Will Smith just smacked the sh*t out of me!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Smith, from the audience, yelled: \u201cKeep my wife\u2019s name out your f*ckin\u2019 mouth!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rock responded: \u201cWow, dude! It was a G.I. Jane joke.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Smith repeated: \u201cKeep my wife\u2019s name out your f*ckin\u2019 mouth!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to, OK? Wow. OK. That was a \u2026 greatest night the history of television,\u201d Rock continued.<\/p>\n<p>After the incident, security did not remove Smith, nor was he arrested. He went on to deliver an acceptance speech after winning Best Actor for portraying Richard Williams, father to tennis stars Venus and Serna Williams, in King Richard.<\/p>\n<p>The audience applauded his speech.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Apatow tweeted in disapproval, noting that Smith had drawn attention from the Williams family\u2019s moving story of success:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Screen-Shot-2022-03-28-at-12.38.54-AM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20411615\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Screen-Shot-2022-03-28-at-12.38.54-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"332\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeems like Will Smith\u2019s plan to get comedians and the world to not make jokes about him is not going to pan out. The Williams family must be furious. Pure narcissism. Also- GI Jane was gorgeous. What exactly is insulting about being compared to a ripped, stunning Demi? #Oscars,\u201d Apatow tweeted at 8:11 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time.<\/p>\n<p>The tweet was later deleted.<\/p>\n<p>He also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/tvshowbiz\/article-10658585\/Oscars-2022-Smith-shocks-social-media-users-SLAPPING-presenter-Chris-Rock.html\">tweeted<\/a>: \u201c\u2018He could have killed him. That\u2019s pure out of control rage and violence. They\u2019ve heard a million jokes about them in the last three decades. They are not freshman in the world of Hollywood and comedy. He lost his mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That tweet, too, was apparently deleted.<\/p>\n<p><em>Joel B.
