Chris Rock, the mind behind Everybody hates Chris, a great success among the Brazilian public, went through a tense moment during the Oscars 2022 awards. The presenter of the ceremony was assaulted by actor Will Smith, live, while presenting the award for best documentary. On the occasion, Rock made a piadina about the fact that Smith's wife, Jada, has shaved hair.

Also actress Jada Pinkett-Smith suffers from alopecia, a disease that causes hair loss, and decided to take on the new look since December last year. Rock said that Jada was bald so she could star in the movie "GI Jane 2", since in the first title, Demi Moore appeared bald to play the protagonist.

At this moment Smith goes up on stage and slaps Rock in the face, leaving everyone astonished - both those present at the ceremony and the spectators. After many inquiries about whether or not it was a performance, Rock says: “Wow! Will Smith just hit me!” and then Smith returns to his seat and tells Rock to take Jada's name out of his mouth.
