As if the Hollywood gods knew we were overdue for a scandal on live television, all of the regular expected awkwardness at the 2022 Academy Awards was eclipsed by Will Smith slapping Chris Rock across the face for the entire world to see, after the latter made a joke at Jada Pinkett Smith‘s expense. But a little violence didn’t stop the Academy from giving Smith the Best Actor Award for his role in King Richard, where he plays Richard Williams, father and coach of tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams. “Richard Williams was a fierce defender of his family,” Smith said during his speech, holding back tears — almost as if to give Rock an ever-so-subtle fuck you. But being two comedy legends of the ’90s, Rock and Smith’s relationship goes way back, as both friends and on-screen collaborato...

TESTAMENT’s ALEX SKOLNICK Condemns WILL SMITH For Hitting CHRIS ROCK At Oscars
TESTAMENT‘s Alex Skolnick has condemned Will Smith for smacking Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards. The guitarist reacted a short time after Smith, 53, interrupted the 57-year-old comedian’s introduction of “Best Documentary” with a slap across the face. The altercation came after Rock made a joke about Smith‘s wife Jada Pinkett Smith, saying, “Jada, I love ya. G.I. Jane 2, can’t wait to see ya,” an apparent reference to the actress’s bald hairstyle as she lives with the autoimmune disorder alopecia, which attacks follicles resulting in bald spots and hair loss. Pinkett Smith could be seen rolling her eyes, before the camera cut back to Rock, while Will Smith initially laughed from his seat. Shortly after, however, Smith‘s mood...
