Where did it all started from?
During the 94th Academy Awards on March 27, 2022, the entertainment world was shocked when actor Will Smith took the stage and delivered an open-palm strike to comedian Chris Rock's face. The incident occurred during Rock's presentation of the Best Documentary Feature award and left the audience and viewers worldwide in disbelief.
What prompted this shocking act of violence was a joke made by Chris Rock about Will Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. Rock's quip targeted Jada's shaved head, a result of her ongoing battle with alopecia areata, a condition she had been managing since 2021. The joke seemingly crossed a line for Will Smith, who reacted swiftly and physically to defend his wife's honor.
After the slap, Smith returned to his seat but couldn't contain his emotions, shouting profanities at Rock. Rock, for his part, briefly responded to the situation before continuing with his presentation.
The unexpected turn of events took another twist when Will Smith, despite the controversy, won the Best Actor award.

Was Will Smith Apology fake or real?
Will Smith: “Chris I apologize to you; my behavior was unacceptable and I'm here whenever you're ready to talk.”
Will Smith has made another attempt to apologize to Chris Rock for the shocking slap at the 2022 Oscars. However, Chris Rock and fans are not accepting it, accusing Will of playing the victim.
This feud traces back to Jada Pinkett Smith's revelation in 2018 that she had been diagnosed with alopecia, a condition causing hair loss. She had openly embraced her condition and shaved her head in December 2021. Many fans blame Jada for Will's aggressive reaction to Chris's joke at the Oscars. Initially, Will laughed at the joke, but when he realized Jada wasn't amused, he stormed on stage and slapped Chris on national television. To add to the humiliation, all the celebrities rushed to comfort Will, leaving Chris standing there looking embarrassed.
Will later won the Oscar for Best Actor for his role in "King Richard" and received a standing ovation during his acceptance speech. In his speech, he apologized to the Academy and the audience but not to Chris. He attempted to justify his actions by claiming that love can drive someone to do crazy things.
Following intense backlash from fans and fellow celebrities, Will issued a written apology to Chris via Instagram. He acknowledged that his behavior at the Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable, admitting he reacted emotionally because the joke touched upon Jada's medical condition.
However, Chris Rock and fans are not satisfied with Will's video apology. They accuse him of playing the victim and question the sincerity of his apologies, given the stark contrast between his reactions on stage and in subsequent statements. Fans have expressed their disappointment in both Will and Jada, believing they handled the incident poorly and accusing them of narcissism.
The incident and its aftermath have triggered a significant debate surrounding humor, personal boundaries, and public apologies in the entertainment industry.
On July 29, 2022, Will Smith shared a video on his YouTube channel titled "It's Been a Minute." In the video, he opened with a message, acknowledging that he had been doing personal reflection and addressing fan questions.
Regarding his failure to apologize to Chris during his Oscars acceptance speech, Will stated that he had reached out to Chris, and the response he received was that Chris wasn't ready to talk. Will expressed that he would apologize to Chris, acknowledging that his behavior was unacceptable and assuring Chris that he's available whenever he's ready to talk. Will also extended an apology to Chris's mother and recognized that his relationship with Chris's family may have been damaged irreparably.
