You should never joke about a medical condition especially involving someone’s family member. It’s going to be interesting to see if Will Smith faces charges. A few years ago Chris Rock made a joke about Will Smith at the Oscars so there appears to be some bad blood between them and it finally boiled over.

He’s a comedian. That’s what they do.

They usually don’t joke about a medical condition involving someone’s wife, especially with the husband sitting there.

It’s okay to joke about him but don’t joke about his wife.
I wonder if perhaps Chris Rock did not know that she suffered from the condition and thought it was a choice. While it would still be a bit tasteless, I find it hard to believe someone would knowingly joke about someone else's medical condition like that, especially on national TV.

To sum up the 94th Academy Awards Show:

We’ll just have to see what Chris Rock has to say about it. Will Smith has been pretty outspoken about his wife’s alopecia.

It is possible, but I still find it hard to believe Rock knowingly did that because even if Smith had not hit him, there would have been a huge internet uproar against Rock for making fun of someone suffering from a condition like that.

I have seen some backlash on social media from those who found the joke offensive. Chis Rock made a joke about her a few years ago for boycotting the Oscars due to its lack of diversity. We’ll see what the fallout is if any.

This has the makings of a PPV celebrity boxing event between Chris Rock and Will Smith.

Chris Rock has declined to file a police report.

I am thinking this is a work. No one has watched the Oscar's last several years. Now here is everyone talking about it over this. If Oscar's ratings got any worse the networks probably would not show it anymore.... Also Sean Penn's tantrum to burn his Oscar trophy for Zelensky to have a spot also causes attention ratings....I think this was a ratings ploy nothing else.

I personally still think this was staged, but either way, this would have been perfect for Celebrity Deathmatch lol

Can Will and Jada just retire and take their annoying brats with them somewhere and never be seen again?

Also, a comedian should be allowed to bomb a joke. It's a tough freakin' job, sometimes a joke will cross the line, sometimes it will be "offensive", sometimes it will bomb. It's Chris' job to make jokes, he's a legend for a reason and even got Will to laugh before he got the side eye from the one who wears the pants in the relationship.

Better yet, how about we just end the Oscars altogether? This is the first I've heard anything about the Oscars in years.

Really both men should had handle it better. As Chris may had crossed the line in joking about Jada, as what she has is no laughing matter. Will should had firmly but politely tell Chris that is my wife don't make fun of her. Really the fault on both sides.
