In a moment that stunned the world, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star marched on stage to slap Chris at the 94th Academy Awards on Sunday, March 27.

Rock had just made a hair joke about Will’s actor wife Jada Pinkett Smith, who has a hair-loss condition called alopecia.

The joke compared Jada to G.I Jane – a character with a shaved head played by Demi Moore in the 1997 film of the same name.

Smith later won the award for Best Actor for his role in King Richard before issuing a grovelling apology for his behaviour.

Gogglebox siblings Pete and Sophie Sandiford were among the cast members reacting to the moment.

Sophie said she’d be fuming if her husband had smacked somebody, as she affirmed: “If I was in that situation and it was my husband had gone up and done that, I’d be fuming at the husband because if I have a problem with something, I’ll sort it myself.”

Twitter soon became a switchboard for complaints about the segment, with many sick of hearing about it.

Alongside an emoji of an angry face, one person penned: “Enough now about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock. Sick of hearing about it.”

Echoing their comments, someone else said: “Will Smith was clearly in the wrong. But in what way did this slap need five days of social study and think pieces?”

While a third person added: “I’m so over this Will Smith slap.”

The Sun revealed yesterday how Will had been given two-weeks to save his Hollywood career, after The Academy confirmed they were voting on disciplinary action.

Will is preparing to plead his case at a hearing on Monday, April 18.

A source said: “Things are hanging in the balance. He will write an official letter to apologise, and effectively beg for their forgiveness.

“He is also expected to hold a call with show bosses in the next 24 hours. April 18 is D-Day, though – he will find out if he still has an Oscar and, quite possibly, a career.”
