During the presentation of the award for best documentary, comedian Rock mocked Smith’s wife. “Jada, I’m looking forward to GI Jane 2,” he said, referring to the 1997 film GI Jane in which Demi Moore played the eponymous role with a buzzcut. The inappropriate joke referred to the shaved head of Jada Pinkett Smith resulting in alopecia from the condition of hair loss. The actress spoke openly about her struggles with autoimmune disorder in an episode of her Facebook show Red Table Talk in 2018. “I had problems with hair loss. And it was scary when it first started.” The bad joke was not done well by Smith, who went on stage and hit Rock. While many thought the incident was a premeditated routine, especially considering that the two are film and television veterans, it soon became apparent that this was not a sketch. “Keep my wife’s name out of your king’s mouth,” Smith shouted as he left the stage, with Nicole Kidman’s moving reaction announced as “all of us at that moment” by a Twitter user.

But love will make you do crazy things.” He then went on to apologize to all his candidates, the Academy, but obviously not to Rock. This is not the first time Rock has blamed Smith. In 2016, while hosting the Oscars, Rock boycotted Pinkett Smith, saying: “Jada Pinkett Smith boycotting the Oscars is like boycotting Rihanna’s underwear – they didn’t call me!” He also mocked Smith for failing to get a nomination for Concussion that year. “You’re crazy,” Rock continued. “It’s not fair that Will was so good and was not nominated. “It’s also not fair that Will was paid $ 20 million for the Wild West.” Following the excavation, TMZ approached Smith for comment, but he declined to comment. Pinkett Smith, on the other hand, seemed more relaxed and told the paparazzi a few days later that he was “coming to territory”. However, Rock continued to stir things up in 2018 when he made sharp comments about Smith’s relationship with his ex-wife.

Rock then commented: “Wow. “You have a very understanding wife.” After the screening on Sunday night, the quarrel between the two men seems to have reached the crescendo. However, as Rock refuses to make accusations, according to a report from the Los Angeles Police Department, we hope the duo will be able to settle their differences and eventually end their dispute.
