A full statement from the Los Angeles Police Department states: “LAPD investigators are aware of an incident between two individuals during the Oscars program. The incident involved one person slapping another. The person involved refused to report to the police. “If the party involved wishes for a police report at a later date, the LAPD will be available to complete an investigation report.” During the presentation of the best documentary at the Oscars, Rock made a joke about the shaved head of Pinkett Smith, comparing it to the appearance of Demi Moore in the 1997 film “GI Jane”. Rock said he was looking forward to seeing Pinkett Smith, who has alopecia, star in “GI Jane 2,” which led Smith to take the stage and slap Rock. Smith returned to his seat and shouted, “Hold my wife’s name from your fucking mouth!” Smith won the Best Actor Award for “King Richard” after the incident and apologized in his tearful acceptance speech. The actor said: “I want to apologize to the Academy. I want to apologize to all my candidates. This is a beautiful moment and I do not cry that I won an award. It’s not to win an award for me. “It has to do with being able to shed light on all people.” Between the slap and his win for Best Actor, Smith met with Denzel Washington. The Oscar-winning “Glory” and “Training Day” offered Smith the following advice: “At your highest moment, be careful, then the devil is coming for you.” Pinkett Smith announced last year that she shaved her head after battling alopecia. After Rock made the joke of “GI Jane”, Jada was seen not laughing and rolling her eyes. The actor wrote on Instagram last year, “Now at this point, I can only laugh ρετε you know I’m battling alopecia… Mom should get it down on her scalp so no one thinks she’ve had brain surgery or anything such. . “I and this alopecia will become friends… dot!” Additional report by Gene Maddaus.
