Stephen A. Smith goes off on Will Smith after Oscars slap

Stephen A. Smith goes off on Will Smith after Oscars slap.

A controversial moment can’t be complete without Stephen A. Smith sticking his nose (and opinion) into it. On Sunday, March 27, a shocking moment occurred during the 2022 Oscars broadcast. It was so outlandish that fans weren’t even sure it was real at first.

During Chris Rock’s presentation of the winner for the Best Documentary Feature, he made a joke about Jada Pinkett-Smith starring in “GI Jane 2” due to her shaved head. Pinkett-Smith has been vocal about her struggle with Alopecia and it triggered her husband, Will Smith. The actor got out of his seat and walked up to the stage and struck Rock, then said “Keep my wife’s name out of your f**king mouth” all of it censored on American TV.

It was later shared uncensored from an international broadcast.

Stephen A. Smith blasts Will Smith as ‘shameful’ for Oscars slap

Now, sports broadcaster, Stephen A. Smith (not related to Will or Jada) has interjected his own opinion on the moment.

“What Will Smith did tonight was straight bulls**t,” he said on Twitter. “Props and congratulations to him for winning the Oscar because damn it, he deserved it. And I love the brother and I’m proud of him. But boy was that a shameful act for him to commit tonight. To go up on stage and slap Chris Rock like that. He’s lucky he didn’t get his a** kicked, particularly after the event was over. If not by Chris Rock to the fellas he had there with them. I mean damn. Denzel [Washington] and Bradley Cooper and Tyler Perry having to calm you down, your publicist having to run out and calm you down. I mean, damn, come on, bro. Come on, man. There’s no excuse for it ladies and gentlemen, don’t even try to justify it Okay? Chris Rock said it years ago. Every time black folks doing something you know who messes it up. I never dreamed in my wildest dreams I’d be saying that about Will Smith.”

Rock declined to press charges.
