Chris Rock joked about Will Smith’s Wife Jada and said, “Jada, I love you. ‘G.I. Jane 2,’ can’t wait to see it, all right?”, referring to her bald look which was caused by a disease known as alopecia, a hair loss condition.

Will Smith straight away went to the stage and slapped Chris Rock in front of everyone present there and those who watched live on the television around the world. His actions shocked the entire world as nobody expected him to do this at a live program on such a prestigious occasion like the Oscars.

Damian Lillard the NBA Superstar reacted to this moment through his Twitter and said, “Lot of MFS need this…”, referring to people who continuously talk bad about someone’s family without thinking about the actions that might follow ahead.

Dame stated the truth as recently many people have been getting away after doing this sort of stuff and Will Smith’s actions have sent a strong message that you can’t joke about someone’s family.

Real Talk.”

He clearly meant that some people can’t take any shade thrown towards their family and Will’s actions were completely okay with retrospect to what Chris Rock had said.
