Well, that happened. While the Oscars seemed to be dragging on as usual, out walks Chris Rock. In his typical way, he throws up a few jokes and hits some grounders but one came a little too close to the Smith family. After telling Jada Smith that he can’t wait to see her in GI Jane 2 due to her hair (she has alopecia, no idea if Chris Rock knew or not) the cameras cut to the Smith couple where Will was laughing while Jada was visibly upset. The next thing we see is Will Smith walking up on stage and throwing a right slap across Chris Rock’s mouth and going back to his seat while yelling back at Chris Rock. Well of course Twitter completely lost their minds and we have all the amazing tweets to go along with the situation.

Just saw the Will Smith slap. Anyone have a late night show I can borrow just for tomorrow?

Sorry, but I am a man, and if you just did to me what Will Smith did to Chris Rock, there is no way in the world I’m just taking it and not immediately saying, “My wife,” in a Borat voice.

Anthony Hopkins better keep his mouth shut about Jada.

I’m tripping that you can assault someone on live television on stage at the Oscars and just take your seat and watch the rest of the show.
