LAPD Was Prepared to Arrest Will Smith Says Oscars Producer
Producer of the 2022 Oscars ceremony said the Los Angeles Police Department was prepared to arrest Will Smith for slapping Chris Rock live on stage. The incident in question began when Rock, while presenting the award for Best Documentary Feature, made a joke about Smith's wife Jada Pinkett-Smith's head, saying that he couldn't to see her in G.I. Jane 2. Allegedly unknown to Rock, Jada had shaved her head as a way to cope with her recently diagnosed autoimmune condition known as alopecia. Although Rock's joke initially received laughs throughout the audience, and from Smith himself, the rapper-turned-actor marched on stage and slapped the comedian, later shouting "Keep my wife’s name out your f***ing mouth!" Smith later received the award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his performance as Richard Williams in the sports drama, King Richard.
