Dagbladet updates the case!
This year’s Oscar gala is over, and so far the evening has gone smoothly – without the big scandals.
However, that was until comedian Chris Rock took to the stage, with a ladle kick in the direction of Jada Pinkett Smith.
– Sure, I love it. “GI Jane 2”, can not wait to see you, he said from the stage, according to Independent.

It’s all about Pinkett Smith’s hairstyle, which made Will Smith look red.
He responded by taking the stage and hitting Rock in the face. When he sat down in his seat again, he shouted:
– Keep my wife’s name out of your fucking mouth.
Pinkett was honest last year that she suffers from the autoimmune disease alopecia.
Opens up about the diagnosis
Chris Rock was left on stage in apparent shock. It all happened without sound, when it was cut, and it was unclear for a long time whether it was all a planned joke, or real.
In retrospect, the audience in the hall must have been shocked, and during the advertising break, Denzel Wahsington is said to have escorted Smith to the side of the stage, according to AP. He is also said to have been comforted by Bradley Cooper.

According to Variety, publicist Meredith O. Sullivan also spoke to him during the commercial break.
The signal was also broken shortly after, but it is not known at this time whether it was due to a signal error or whether it was planned.
The reactions on social media have not been long in coming, but several are in doubt as to whether it was in fact real. However, the band The Chainsmokers is in no doubt about what has happened.

“Will Smith just hit Chris in the face at the Oscars,” they write on Twitter.
BBC reports from the backstage area. They write that both Rock and Smith are veterans in the film industry, and that they can therefore easily have carried out the incident as a joke. However, they write that it all does not look fake.
In place: – Dark, sexy and rebellious
“By the time Smith sat down in the chair and shouted at Rock to keep his wife’s name out of her mouth, it was clear it was not a sketch. A professional like Smith would know better than to drop the f-bomb on stage during a live broadcast.

Will Smith won the award for Male Actor of the Year for his role in “King Richard.” In his speech of thanks, he apologized to the Academy, the audience and the other nominees.
– I know that when you do what we do, you have to find yourself being assaulted and people talking bad about you, you have to find yourself in people who do not respect you, and you have to smile and pretend it’s okay, he says, among other things.
Smith shed tears after the great victory. In the speech, he explains that it is not because he won the award, but because it is all about giving attention to the Williams family, who are portrayed in the film.
