What just happened? The moment everyone is talking about from Sunday's Oscars wasn't Will Smith winning the coveted award for Best Actor — it was when he smacked Chris Rock in the face.
During his acceptance speech later in the night, Smith confirmed the incident was real. He apologized to the Academy — but not to Rock — and emotionally explained how he feels he needs to "protect" people in life. Tonight, that person he was protecting was his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
It all went down when Rock came out to present an award for Best Documentary. On stage, the comedian made a joke about Pinkett Smith, who was sitting next to Smith in the audience.
"Jada, I love ya. G.I. Jane 2 — can't wait to see it, all right?" laughed Rock.
Smith seemed to be laughing at first, while his wife didn't look thrilled about the joke. (The Red Table Talk host has been open about her hair loss condition, alopecia.) Suddenly, Smith stormed the stage and hit Rock in the face before returning to his seat.
