There was a scandalous incident during the Oscar 2022 ceremony. One of the nominees for the award Will Smith could not contain his emotions, got up on stage and punched his colleague Chris Rock, who made joking comments about Smith's wife.
The famous actor initially laughed at Rock's jokes. But then he stunned everyone in the audience by getting up on stage and slapping Rock. "Wow. Will Smith just beat the crap out of me," reacted the comedian, who was clearly very surprised by such aggression.
After returning to his seat, the troublemaker loudly advised the host left on stage to "Shut your mouth when you talk about my wife." Jada Pinkett Smith herself remained perfectly calm.
Sources claim that Chris Rock later apologized to Smith and his wife. Another famous actor and American Academy Award nominee Denzel Washington was allegedly involved in the negotiations. It is especially noted that the episode was not staged, the conflict occurred in reality and came as a surprise to the show's organizers.
