Will Smith slapped Chris Rock in the face after the comedian joked about Jada Pinkett Smith having a shaved head at the Oscars 2022, which is linked to her alopecia diagnosis \u2013 a condition that causes hair loss. It set the internet alight and drew reactions from some of the biggest content creators and influencers in the scene, including Logan Paul, Hasan, Myth, Shroud, Ethan Klein, and more. Here\u2019s what they said about it. Will Smith really just smacked Chris Rock at the Oscars What is going on?pic.twitter.com\/VSVId8rAo3 \u2014 Dexerto (@Dexerto) March 28, 2022 YouTuber turned WWE superstar Logan Paul was one of the first to comment on it. \u201cCHRIS GOT ROCKED,\u201d he said, expressing his shock over the incident in the form of a pun. However, he deleted the tweet shortly after. Twitch streamer Hasan followed suit. \u201cThis is awesome,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was a perfect slap. Incredible execution. Heels planted firmly, fired from the hip. Connected immediately. Great follow-through. Chris Rock has boosted his defense stats. Took it like a champ.\u201d chris rock has boosted his defense stats. took it like a champ. \u2014 hasanabi (@hasanthehun) March 28, 2022 Myth also reacted positively to it, saying: \u201cI knew Will Smith was my idol for a reason.\u201d Shroud echoed the sentiment, describing Will Smith as a \u201cGIGACHAD\u201d for defending his wife\u2019s honor by dishing out the slap. However, not everyone was impressed. Dr Disrespect, the embodiment of violence, speed, and momentum, wasn\u2019t a fan. \u201cNothing impressive on my Twitter feed,\u201d he said. \u201cSuch a pathetic state. Let\u2019s wake up.\u201d Decided to look at my flip phone. Holy shit, nothing impressive on my Twitter feed. Such a pathetic state. Let\u2019s wake up. \u2014 Dr Disrespect (@DrDisrespect) March 28, 2022 Ethan Klein also wasn\u2019t thrilled about the incident. However, he criticized it in a more serious tone. \u201cWill Smith is just a walking L since his wife decided to start weekly humiliating him on her Facebook show,\u201d he said. \u201cHe probably should deal with whatever trauma he has with her instead of punching Chris Rock in the face for an extremely tame joke. He needs to be escorted out of the Oscars.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/h3h3productions\/status\/1508275763639771141?s=21 After Will Smith won the award for Best Actor and apologized for hitting Chris Rock during his speech, Klein added: \u201cWill Smith won and got a standing ovation. I\u2019m in awe the show went on like nothing happened. \u201cWill Smith punched a comedian for doing his job. He\u2019s a celebrity in the front row of the Oscars where it\u2019s normal to be roasted, bad taste or not.\u201d He also claims anyone defending Will Smith is suffering from \u201cbrain rot.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/h3h3productions\/status\/1508286213244928001?s=21 Naturally, there\u2019s a lot of division about the incident. However, regardless of how anyone feels about it, one thing is for sure \u2014 it\u2019s taken the internet by storm, become a trending topic, and even a new meme template. People will be talking about it for years to come, much like they did when Ricky Gervais\u2019 let loose and roasted everyone during 77th Golden Globes Awards in January 2020, which also produced a meme template.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Logan Paul, Hasan, Myth, react to Will Smith hitting Chris Rock at the Oscars 2022 Twitch: Hasan \/ YouTube: Logan Paul \/ Wikimedia CommonsThe internet went into a meltdown after seeing Will Smith slap Chris Rock in the face at the Oscars 2022 over a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith, including some of the biggest [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54000","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54000","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54000"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54000\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54000"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54000"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54000"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
