At the 2022 Oscars, during comedian Chris Rock’s speech prior to awarding the Best Documentary gong, he made a joke about Will’s wife, Jada’s hair.
Referring to her shaved do, he said: “Jada, can’t wait for GI Jane 2.”
Chris’s joke referred to 1997 film GI Jane, in which Demi Moore played the title role with a buzzcut.
Will laughed at first, then walked up on stage and struck Chris before walking back to his seat.
He then shouted from his seat: “Keep my wife’s name out your f*****g mouth.”
Will has since apologised to the Academy and Chris, however this has not stopped the massive debate over the matter.
