G.I. Jane 2, can\u2019t wait to see ya,\u201d Rock said while on stage \u2014 an apparent joe about Pinkett Smith\u2019s short hairstyle, which she has due to alopecia. It remains unclear whether Rock even knew about her condition.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, in response to Rock\u2019s joke, Smith walked onto the stage and struck the comedian in the face. Then, when he retook his seat, the actor twice shouted, \u201cKeep my wife\u2019s name out your fucking mouth\u201d \u2014 a cringeworthy moment for many in the audience.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Watch Below:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This type of thuggish behavior has no place in civilized society.
