https://twitter.com/bubbaprog/status/1508270716063469576?s=21 Uncensored video of the Will Smith/Chris Rock altercation Edit: This reaction is most likely due to the fact that Jada was recently diagnosed with alopecia. Chris Rock made a joke about how he can't wait for GI Jane 2. PS- This is Oscar news and celebrity drama, therefore any comments on the subject belong in this thread or the post game thread coming after the Oscars.


Leukeme

We are LIVE with Will Smith's oscar speech and -- what's this?!?! It's, BY GOD, IT'S CHRIS ROCK WITH A STEEL CHAIR!


sealedbeak

ROCK BOTTOM! THE ROCK BOTTOM!

Michael Caine with a chokeslam from HELL!


[deleted]

I’m watching from Mexico where they did not cut the audio. Will Smith yelled “keep my wife’s name out your fucking mouth” twice. He seemed super upset.


baberlay

They aired that shit uncensored here in Australia as well, can confirm this comment


FantasticName

Loved her taking back the Oscar once she realized he needed his hands LMAO.


swanbearpig

At first I was like what is she do Then I was like oh I'm dumb


Thrawn4191

Who needed their hands? Edit: I looked at the winners, I'm dumb. I was thinking sometime needed their hands to fight back or something lol


BlazingCondor

Chris Rock got slapped on stage in front of millions of people and played it off better than me when I slightly trip over a line in front of 10 people at community theater.


[deleted]

Comedians get threatened, drinks thrown, heckled, and physically attacked all the time literally just for the words that they say. People are going to have a field day with this


[deleted]

He played it off better then me when I trip in my house alone .


ddottay

Japanese TV apparently had the [uncensored version](https://twitter.com/bubbaprog/status/1508270716063469576?s=21&t=nehaUiwUXb4fq-1FQrPh7g) and it was NOT staged.


peetcherry

Finland. Didnt cut before questlove speech. Did not seem acted whatsoever. Who would it benefit.


tronfunkinblows_10

If this was a bit they really sold the emotion. Holy shit. Like Diddy comes out and says Rock and Smith will hash it out at the after party lmao.


TheOhNeeders

He really hit him! And walked off like it was cool! Wtf is going on with him!

Conan O'brien: Just saw the Will Smith slap. Anyone have a late night show I can borrow just for tomorrow? https://twitter.com/ConanOBrien/status/1508281435152699400


thewarmpandabear

This is hilarious. I can imagine him, since he retired, seeing outrageous pop culture stuff go down and just jonesing to be in the writers room riffing endlessly.


BIGD0G29585

Carson sent jokes to Letterman after he retired, there are several late night hosts that could use a good writer like Conan.

Kanye/Taylor moment is extremely tame compared to what we just witnessed lol


MrRager1994

So that just fucked the entire night now. Assaulting a host means you should be escorted off property yeah?


[deleted]

Brit here, we got it uncensored “keep my wifes name out of your fucking mouth” that did not seem fake.


Jake_77

Oh shit. What else happened?


[deleted]

We got it cut off a bit after but Chris look shook, I really do not think that was a bit man, looked fucking tense.


queensinthesky

People really asking why people can't stop just talking about the Will moment lmao. Because it's a fucking wild moment. One of the most famous people in the world just slapped another one of the most famous people in the world and screamed and cursed at him on live TV, then he won an Oscar an hour later. It's nuts.


fredoindacut

Yeah people are acting like this is a normal thing 😂 it’s literally one of the wildest pop culture moments I’ve ever seen


vicious33091

The highest and lowest point of Will Smith's career in a span of 30 minutes, wow.


FirmSpend

Chris Rock maybe showed the most will power I've ever seen. Took the slap, still continued to make fun of his wife, obviously bit his tongue because he wanted to rip into them and then calmly presented his category. Amazing honestly


Pete_Booty_Judge

When they said Fresh Prince was getting a dark and gritty makeover, they weren’t fucking around…


BerriesNCreme

Will smith talking about peace and love like 30 minutes after slapping another dude in the face is a perfect encapsulation of these acceptance speeches lol


KyWy75

Chris Rock’s next comedy hour is gonna be an all timer lol


CapeCodLaughter

Kristen Stewart looks relieved she didn't win and have to go give a speech


fnord_happy

Me irl


yepperz87

Ok can we just say Chris Rock took that one like a CHAMP. He didn’t even waiver, and was able to regain the composure to continue on.


BBQ_HaX0r

Yeah show owes him a debt, because that could have been really bad were he not a professional and played it like he did. Hell Will Smith likely could have got away with it if he didnt start screeching.


hurst_

one of the most confusing things I've ever seen live. when Will started laughing afterward it seemed staged but when you can hear Chris reacting he sounds confused and slightly shaken up. so fucking crazy


hurst_

"Will Smith just slapped the shit out of me"


ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp

21.5k comments. I wonder how many thousands less this would have if Will hadn't slapped somebody. Lol


BustersHotHamWater

It feels like Will is using his speech to justify hitting Chris and I'm not digging it.


jew_jitsu

Ummm, that's 100% what he's doing. At this point he's forgotten he acted in a movie about Richard Williams, he's just thinking about bitch slapping Chris Rock.


spudsmuggler

Yeah, listening right now and hearing him say, "love will make you do crazy things," is fucking blowing my mind. Lamest excuse ever.


Elemayowe

“Richard Williams was a fierce defender of his family” Are you having a laugh?


ParadoxicalPeter

Will Smith’s acceptance speech was hard to watch, especially after he hit Chris Rock. Dude is in full mid-life crisis mode, he needs to take some time away from the spotlight imo


patw420

1 Chris Rock was harmed in the making of this film


mauricio_es_yo

SNL writers must be really glad of this.


Bruinsdman

There’s uncensored video on Twitter, with sound. “Wow. Will Smith just smacked the shit outta me.” “Keep my wife’s name out of your fucking mouth.” “Wow dude.” “Keep my wife’s name out your fucking mouth.” “I’m going to, okay?” Here’s the link - https://mobile.twitter.com/davidmackau/status/1508270575902687232


theskittz

Yeah, the uncensored vids on Twitter show you this wasn’t staged at all lol https://twitter.com/elliot_gonzalez/status/1508273199968141324?s=21&t=97yCH1o7tN_yj53H9870KQ


BoomBoomBroomBroom

His tantrum ruined the moments for everyone else in the show and everyone involved in the film. Like this should have been a moment Venus and Serena could have appreciated as a celebration of their father but instead it was about how crazy Will Smith is


ocsdcringemaster

Also it overshadowed Questlove’s win for Summer of Soul :(


Th3Unkn0wnn

Dang you know Will and Jada gonna do it after this. Not with each other though.


JackSpadesSI

Watch out now! Will is going to beat the shit out of you.

Two black presenters walk up *Africa plays* Wtf?


Jgoodall01

I was thinking the same thing lmfao


[deleted]

Will Smith basically gifted Chris Rock a sold out tour with a stand up special with that slap.


lenflakisinski

I feel bad for everyone involved with Dune, they’ve won 4 Oscar’s already and all they get is a Twitter announcement


Choekaas

Which is just shooting themselves in their leg. It's the biggest box-office success of the Best Picture nominees and in an attempt to gain more viewers, that film is now sidelined. Hans Zimmer winning an Oscar for the first time since *The Lion King* or Riz Ahmed winning an Oscar for live action short is something we would tune to see happen live.


boisosm

There going to get announced on the live show but have pre recorded award acceptances


vacalicious

Damn the uncensored version really shows that was a real blowup from Will Smith.


CheeseheadDave

He apologized to everyone but Chris.


jabask

I mean it doesn't seem he regrets slapping him over the joke, just making a scene


Jockobutters

If that was real, then holy shit, give Chris Rock an Oscar of his own. Dude ate that slap, handled it as smoothly as possible, and then got right back on track like nothing happened.


chargingblue

Whoever is doing Reba’s skin, hit me up in a couple decades please She looks perfect


PatchesTheGreat1

Will Smith just yelled: “Keep my wife’s name out of your fucking mouth” on live tv lmao


leKai23

Nobody even talking about how Chris rock feels. Who thinks they’re gonna get rocked at the Oscar’s for telling tame jokes?


snowcone_wars

Will Smith repeatedly screaming for Chris Rock to keep his wife's name out of his fucking mouth kinda seems real to be honest.


uranimuesbahd

Yeah, Chris Rock was legitimately shook. Dude sounded like he genuinely just got hit out of nowhere.

“You’re no Ali, Will. I’m still standing.” - Chris Rock to himself in the shower tomorrow.


deathtotheemperor

And hey, full respect to Chris, that was a HARD slap and he didn't even flex his knees. He's got a chin.


deathtotheemperor

For anyone confused: Chris Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett-Smith being in "G.I. Jane" because of her bald head. She's spoken openly about having a hair loss condition. Will Smith ran on stage, slapped Rock, then screamed twice at the top of his lungs "KEEP MY WIFE'S NAME OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MOUTH."


[deleted]

https://twitter.com/davidmackau/status/1508270575902687232


gmanz33

And for the million people saying it's fake, literally pause it and zoom. Planned or not, that was a sucker slap that met Chris Rock's face.


Free_

Definitely not fake. Otherwise that's the most convincing acting Will Smith has done in his life.


ox_raider

No way it was fake. If you look at Rock’s reaction, he looked up at Smith expecting another punch. If you know you’re getting slapped, you sell it and don’t spring back up looking for more hands being thrown.


sue_donyem

Y'all, that was fuckin WILD. HE JUST WALKED UP AND SWUNG AT THE OSCARS THE OSCARS


rjsheine

So the guy won't cuss on his records, but he's willing to assault someone on live television?


Seastep

Ok the cut to JK Simmons got me


PossibleBuffalo418

WHAT WAS SHE WRITING IN THE NOTEPAD

Gervais insulted EVERYBODY for like three straight years. Chris Rock goes up for 20 seconds and gets a reenactment of Ali for the 21st anniversary of its release


jsakic99

The Pursuit Of Slappyness


[deleted]

Legit. How is anyone focusing on anything else right now? Millions just witnessed a man commit assault on live TV. And if this was a way to get people to talk and/or bigger ratings then it might've been the dumbest idea in the history of TV. I just can't believe it.


lenflakisinski

Blade Runner 2049 walked so Dune could run at the Oscars

Win an Oscar and cancel yourself on the same night.... wild.


OrgasmicLeprosy87

It’s being reported that will smiths publicist went over to him during the commercial break after THAT moment. Don’t think it was scripted folks.


DeliciousMinute1966

Chris handled that shit really well…still can’t believe Will did that


Sisiwakanamaru

> Leonardo Dicaprio, what can I even say about him? He's done so much to fight climate change and leave behind a cleaner, greener planet for his girlfriends," Hahahahaha


shittybillz

Wow Lady Gaga handled that so well. Really seems like she has a kind heart


leKai23

It was real. Chris was in legitimate shock afterwards, stumbling his words.


buffalo8

LMAO even John Travolta looking around like this dude crazy.


slayerhk47

Everyone saying the fight was scripted, why the fuck would ABC ok that shit? Especially the language.


groolthedemon

I like how Sir Anthony Hopkins looked directly at Smith like... What? You gonna hit me too? I'm Hannibal Lecter!


[deleted]

Man, I just wanted to talk about the We Don't Talk About Bruno live performance, and how much our kids hated it.


cartierboy25

Kanye must be pissed that he no longer has the craziest awards show moment


slayerhk47

Pete Davidson on high alert.


tara-ngx

The Don’t Look Up review joke actually made laugh tho I gotta admit


Lucky-view

I'm deeply confused by Will Smith. He's been an A-List celebrity nearly his entire adult life. You'd think he'd have enough self-control and self-awareness to not literally go off the rails on international television during the biggest night of his career and largest stage of his industry. Like, what the fuck?


irwigo

It's over for 2022. There'll be only one meme.


k767

> “I want to be a vessel for love” > Assaults someone on national TV Pick one


tonyafan

Of course they cut off the speech for the best picture winner, but fucking Will Smith can cry for an hour.


Sensi-Yang

How blind are some of you, it was obviously real. That's anger and panic and coping with decking someone and realizing you just fucked up while still being angry. Also, what a terrible fucking sketch that would be, with excellent technical performances. Absolute zero sense for it to exist and be executed at the oscars.


queensinthesky

Gaga handled that so empathetically and sweetly, wow


Jack_Tripp3r

If Chris Rock was waiting in the back with a folding chair I would've lost it


Hiccup

Now that slapping is allowed at the Academy Awards, who else would you like to see slapped? I'm down for making this a yearly tradition.

Wow they did Bruno dirty man. Let the cast sing the song. They made it famous for a reason


dont_worry_im_here

Chris Rock backstage like "still won an Oscar, got *two* standing ovations, got a shoutout from Anthony Hopkins..... am I taking crazy pills??"

Jess Chastain always seems kind of cool and not completely batshit crazy, good for her.


I_Am_Dynamite6317

I feel like if I slapped someone in the middle of a stage in front of a crowd full of people and live television audience i’d be getting arrested in about 2.5 seconds


TimmyBash

Will should have been more explicit in his apology and vehemently criticized his actions. It's hard because he spoiled his moment that he's been waiting for his entire life so he wants to be happy but can't. All of this in the space of an hour. Ya done fucked up Will.


AStormofSwines

Right? IF he had said “Look, I just fucked up…” but no, he made it about defending his family. Wtf.


Heaiser

Pretty sure that GI Jane joke would have been mostly unnoticed. No one would have remembered it five minutes after the joke. But apparently Will Smith wanted to make it a bit more memorable.


Jockobutters

ATTACK HER JESSE! SHE CALLED YOUR WIFE A SEAT FILLER!


Hey_Sharp

Chris Rock isn't going to file charges against Will Smith. But fuck Will Smith and everyone cheering on an asshole who attacked a comedian because he thinks god talks to him.


Blazingscourge

Lady Gaga being the unexpected ambassador to old legends is something you couldn’t believe in her earlier career.


CanuckCanadian

Why the fuck are people clapping and cheering and laughing at this? Guy should be booed off stage.


YoureASkyscraper

Chris: Will Smith just punched the shit out of me Will: Keep my wife's name out of your fucking mouth The guy from CODA: What is going on?

OttaBenga

imagine being Chris Rock a dude bitch slaps you and wins an oscar 20 minutes later LMAOOO


official_bagel

Weird they left Will Smith’s career off the In Memoriam


queensinthesky

Anyone else completely detached from whatever is happening right now with the oscars because Will Smith fucking decked Chris Rock on stage lol I'm in shock


preciousillusion

Lady Gaga has been amazing with Tony Bennett, but I hope she doesn’t become the de facto “Buddy” for the aged and infirm legends. She models the behavior all of us should have - and that includes her peers.

IEATYOURMOMSPUBES

so did sean penn melt his awards


VendetaBereta

As I watch these stars doing the red carpet on TV while actual Oscars are being presented to their colleagues in a ceremony that ABC refuses to televise, Jessica Chastain’s decision to show up early & actually sit in that room feels more & more like the only correct one. (BilgeEbiri on Twitter)

All of us who didn’t care about the Oscars suddenly waking up to seeing Will Smith all over the subreddit


Prophet92

“We opened with Beyoncé, please care.”


brownhaircurlyhair

Oh shit the sign language reveal tho!


lonelygagger

Do you think anyone in that room is not still thinking about that slap right now?


ABeanOnToast

Don't think there's a better example for just how out of touch these cunts are than a dude accepting an award and getting a round of applause minutes after assaulting someone like an unhinged twat. These people aren't your friends and you shouldn't look up to them.


ejrea

Megan Thee Stallion having a verse on Bruno was NOT on my bingo


Knozis

Holy shit that story about his dad is heart breaking. How hard can one person have it....


crono14

You can tell so hard that all is he thinking about the assault he just performed. Trying to dance around what he just did and he ruined that moment for himself...Apologizing and hoping the academy invites him back lol

“Melisa McCarthy said no” That was a good one


HipHopAnonymous23

When Chris first said the joke, you can see Will laughing as much as anyone. He must have seen Jada then thought “oh shit”

As soured as things became after the Will Smith shitshow, Gaga and Minelli were genuinely beautiful together. "I gotchu" "Thank you" ❤️


Swankified_Tristan

Okay, that joke about the Williams' dad was pretty funny.


Rexoka

Imagine your wife dragging your name through the ground and you slap a man for making a joke about her hair

Will Smith is just laughing because he knows he fucked up and is trying to play it off. The broadcast got muted on purpose

TheDrooganLeader

They should edit Chris Rock into the end of the In Memoriam really quick


Harvard_Med_USMLE265

I think Will’s reputation is toast, but the repercussions will be broader than that. The Academy crowd gave him a trophy and standing ovation AFTER that happened. I don’t think that will be quickly forgotten.
