 As for Will Smith, he could have either listened or made a finger gesture to the camera that said &#8216;no.'&#8221; I think it took a lot of courage for Will Smith to do that, since it was being broadcast live around the world.
Dave Spector, a TV producer and an expert on Hollywood affairs, said, &#8220;The first time I saw a movie that was not aired on TV was when I was in the middle of a movie.
The &#8220;beating&#8221; that took place at the Academy Awards ceremony on March 28 will be talked about for a long time to come. The presenter, comedian Chris Rock (57), made fun of the hairstyle of Jada Pinkett Smith (50), wife of actor Will Smith (53), and said, &#8220;Will you be in the G.I. Jane sequel? This was based on a scene in the 1997 American film &#8220;G.I. Jane,&#8221; in which the female lead had her head cut off. Jada has come out as having alopecia.

Will Smith was so angered by this statement that he punched Chris Rock on the podium.
Many of you may be knee-slappers when you mention that his wife Jada is also an actress and the woman who played Niobe in the &#8220;Matrix&#8221; movie series. Mr. Dave speaks.
 I think it&#8217;s fair to say that the two of them are a loving couple. They get along well, but they have an &#8216;open marriage,&#8217; meaning that they don&#8217;t restrict each other. That&#8217;s why their children are raised in a very free-spirited way, and I admire that sense of freedom in their family.&#8221;
In fact, Chris Rock and Will Smith and his wife have a &#8220;six-year-old history&#8221; between them.
 Will Smith and his wife boycotted the 16th Academy Awards ceremony. The reason was, among other things, that the nominees in the acting categories were all white for the second year in a row. Chris Rock was the emcee at that time. Chris Rock was actually making jokes about the fact that they were boycotting at the time,&#8221; said Dave.
Will Smith will naturally have memories of this time in his mind. This time, Chris Rock told him a &#8220;joke&#8221; in front of him that he could not overlook. It is no wonder that Will Smith&#8217;s patience has run out.

On the other hand, there is room for sympathy on the part of Chris Rock. Mr. Dave says.
 What I feel a little sorry for Chris Rock is that if he doesn&#8217;t say something radical, he&#8217;s seen as cutting corners. There is an atmosphere that everyone expects him to brown-nose the big boys. With the Academy Awards away from him, there was a certain demand for that kind of last-minute gag, to have someone as edgy as he is.
 But I guess the question is whether Chris Rock knew that Jada had alopecia. I think it is indeed rude to make fun of someone who knows they have the disease.&#8221;
It was a bad case with a bad aftertaste for all.
