Academy Awards Responds to Smith/Rock Smackdown.

It was not a staged slap. An infuriated Will Smith slapped comedian, Chris Rock on stage at the 94th Academy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night. Smith then warned Rock, “keep my wife’s name out your fu€ki*g mouth.”

The Academy has since responded via Twitter, saying, “the academy does not condone violence in any form.”

The slap that was seen around the world, came after Rock cracked a joke about Jada’s bald head, saying, “Jada, I love you. GI Jane 2, can’t wait to see you.” Will, it seemed became infuriated after noticing his wife’s visible discomfort. He walked on stage and confronted Rock with a slap to the face.
