The world came to a halt when the viral and unforgettable “Oscars Slap” occurred on March 27, 2022 during the 94th Annual Academy Awards. Will Smith slapped Chris Rock onstage at the 2022 #Oscars after the comedian made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith. Many wonder whether Pinkett Smith had involvement in Smith’s decision to slap Rock. Fast-forwarding to this year, Rock has responded to the “Oscars Slap” in a comedic way. Others argue that Rock deserved to be slapped, or that he should not be criticizing Pinkett Smith.
