Denzel Washington and Tyler Perry spoke with Will Smith after his shocking altercation with Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars on Sunday over a joke about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
Smith slapped Rock after he made an uncomfortable joke about Pinkett Smith. "Jada, I love ya. G.I. Jane 2, can't wait to see it," Rock said during his bit, prompting Pinkett Smith to roll her eyes at the joke. (Pinkett Smith has been open about her struggles with alopecia, an autoimmune disorder which causes bald spots and hair loss.) Moments later, Smith walked onto the stage and Rock gave him an open-handed slap to his cheek. Smith then walked offstage.
