Evidence supporting Will Smith’s slap as a staged act has been revealed.
In what is arguably the most shocking moment in Academy Awards history, Will Smith walked to the stage and appeared to have physically assaulted comedian Chris Rock as he presented the award for Best Documentary.
This came moments before Will himself won Best Actor.
It all started when Chris Rock made a joke about Will Smith’s Wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith, joking that he can’t wait to see her starring in “G.I. Jane 2”.
The joke was in reference to her shaved head, a call back to the Demi Moore starring film from 1997 in which a shaved-head Demi joined the army.
Will Smith was seen laughing at the joke, while Jada visibly rolled her eyes.
Almost immediately after, Will Smith walked up onto the stage, and slapped the lights out of Chris Rock before returning to his seat shouting: “Keep my wife’s name out of your f****** mouth.”
Rock appeared shocked and flustered as he tried to resume presenting the best documentary feature category.
He had this to say:
“That was the greatest night in the history of television.”
The “greatest”night in the history of television indeed.
The question on everyone’s mind now is, was that moment staged to drum up publicity?
Evidence revealed by way of a video clip resurfacing on Twitter, shows Chris Rock already moving away before Will Smith’s hands got to his face, suggesting falsehood in the entire slap sagger.
Here is the link to the video clip:
I’m analyzing the fuck out of this. Deep dive type stuff. The slow motion slap seems to show Chris moving his face before contact. Confirmed fake I think. https://t.co/7zgWXqLG2T

Findings also supporting the evidence is the fact that, the show ratings have suffered over the past decade.
With the COVID-19 pandemic sending the show further into a steep spiral in 2021.
It appears that two great actors on world stage really fooled the whole world, with the aim of boosting the ratings of a struggling show.
Great acting.
