'To stop myself slapping him' Piers Morgan reignites Alex Beresford row in Will Smith jibe

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.
