During the 2022 Oscars, Will Smith walked on stage and slapped Chris Rock after Rock joked about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head. The audience sat in shock as Smith yelled at Rock from his seat. The moment overshadowed Smith’s first Oscar win for King Richard. Smith apologized later, admitting he acted out of line. The Academy banned him from events for ten years. The incident sparked debate about public behavior, boundaries in comedy, and the pressure celebrities face. It remains one of the most shocking moments in award show history.
