The Oscars aired Sunday night and as per usual, there was an array of stars in gorgeous dresses, impeccable suits, and Will Smith slapping Chris Rock. Up until that moment, the funniest thing was Remi Malek’s unsettling stare.
But, Smith’s swing launched Twitter into a frenzy, resulting in plenty of Oscar memes and tweets about the whole thing.
Before we jump into those, you might be wondering why did Will Smith slap Chris Rock for making a G.I. Jane 2 joke? Because, Jada Pinkett Smith is losing her hair due to alopecia and Smith was defending her. So, we’re not saying the slug was deserved, but… onto the memes!
For those who think the exchange was fake- maybe it was, but here’s the uncensored clip of Will and Chris #Oscars pic.twitter.com/HuSkEBCFX4
