Will Smith slaps Chris Rock during a surprise altercation at the 94th Academy Awards, and the uncensored video of the incident has surfaced online! When Chris Rock took the stage as presenter for the Best Documentary category, jokes before the actual nominees included a comment about Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith’s wife. There were a number of punches at the couple’s expense throughout the night, but shortly after Rock hung him up, Smith suddenly got out of his seat and slapped Rock in the face so much to everyone’s surprise in the audience and watching around the world.
Smith had suddenly gone up, and on broadcasts in the United States and other parts of the world there was a brief glitch and suddenly his voice was muted as Smith could be seen uttering rock words. But in other parts of the world this moment was left uncensored, so the video of the full brawl and what was said is now available. You can watch the below-mentioned altercation as it was spotted on Japanese broadcasts as Timothy Burke noted on Twitter:
