Will Smith and the previous jokes for which the actor no longer had patience with Chris Rock

Without a doubt the blow that Will Smith he tipped Chris Rock during the 94th edition of the Oscar marked and tarnished the ceremony of the most important awards in world cinematography and left everyone surprised and wondering if what they saw was real or not.

While presenting the Hollywood Academy Award for Best Documentary, Rock turned to Smith’s wife, actress Jada Pinkett-Smith, and tossed out the line, “Jada, I love you, ‘GI Jane 2,’ I can’t wait to see you.” see her”. With this phrase he made reference to the popular movie “Lieutenant O’Neil” (GI Jane), in which the protagonist, Demi Moore, appears bald. Pinkett-Smith, who has publicly admitted that she suffers from alopecia (a disorder that causes baldness), appeared at the ceremony with a shaved head.

Angry at Rock’s comment, the actor who an hour later won the statuette for Best Performer for his role in “King Richard” went on stage and slapped the comedian. Seconds later, he from his seat told the comedian to take his wife’s name out of his mouth.

But if anyone thinks this was the first time Rock made a joke about Jade in the middle of the ceremony Oscar you are wrong. The uncomfortable fact happened in 2016, when the controversial presenter addressed the actress during his opening monologue of that edition.

Rock questioned Jada for boycotting the Oscar in support of Will Smithone of the main defenders of the #Oscarsowhite movement, a protest against the Oscars for the predilection towards white actors.

“Jada says she’s not coming. Is he in any TV series? Is she going to boycott the Oscars? Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I wasn’t invited. That’s not an invitation I’d turn down, but I get it, I’m not hating,” she said. The actor also received the particular blow from him in that monologue. “It is a shame that (Will Smith) is not nominated this year. That and him getting paid $20 million for ‘Wild Wild West’”, Rock said at the time.

But the friction between Will and Chris did not end there. In 2018, after Smith greeted his ex-wife Sheree Zampino for her birthday, through social networks, Chris Rock published: “Wow, you must have a very understanding current wife”, ironically about the commented infidelities that revolve around the couple. .

Chris Rock will not press charges against Smith
