Making a joke about her shaved head, Will and Jada both took offence as she shaved it due to having alopecia. Will then stormed the stage, slapped Chris and shouted "Keep my wife’s name out of your f***ing mouth."
Telling her son to head on a holiday and get some rest, she gushed about him winning his first Oscar for King Richard, something he was awarded only minutes after the slapping incident.
“I know how he works and how hard he works,” Carolyn said. “He never half-steps. I’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting, and when I heard the name I was just like….yes!”
Will has since apologised to Chris over the incident, and Chris has said that he won't be pressing charges against him.
“Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive,” Will wrote on Instagram. “My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally. I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong.”Explore more on these topics:
