Rock made a joke about the hairstyle of Smith's wife Jada Pinkett Smith that referenced the movie GI Jane in which actress Demi Moore shaved her head. Pinkett Smith suffers from the hair loss condition, alopecia. Smith, who later won best actor for 'King Richard,' walked on stage and hit Chris Rock in what at first appeared to be a scripted joke. But the mood turned somber moments later when Smith, back in his seat, shouted back, 'Keep my wife's name out of your fucking mouth'

    Will Smith literally just immortalised a joke that everyone would've forgotten twenty seconds after it was said
  • Had to come back to this one, the silence after the crowd realizes it isn't an act is just deafening.
  • @JStacked20
    Will: laughs at joke Jada: rolls eyes Will: Its rewind time

    Chris Rock is a pure professional. He handled that better than I would have.
  • @TheMetalhead678

  • @datsapaddlin
    Will was screaming “Keep my wife’s name out Ya mouth!!!!” While Jada was looking around wondering who Wills wife was.
  • @jessicagamesyt
    Imagine doing that for a woman that doesn't even love you 💀
  • @tron1179
    The fact that security didn’t escort him out immediately still baffles me.

    Chris: joke Will: That's funny! Jada: That's not funny. Will: That's not funny.
  • @ViralVibeDaily
    Everyone would have forgotten that joke in 15 seconds but Will just made sure everyone remembers it forever
  • @MK-cm6xo
    Why even defend your wife's honor when she's cheated on you with your son's young friend, and then humiliated you by publicly bragging about it on national television. She has no honor left to defend.
  • The moment when Will sat down and kept shouting was more awkward than the slap itself
