Will Smith Slapping Chris Rock

Will Smith Slapping Chris Rock refers to a moment from the 2022 Oscars (held on March 27th) in which actor and musician Will Smith slapped comedian and actor Chris Rock over a joke he made about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith. The slap was televised and quickly became an object-labeling and an exploitable meme template. The still image of Smith hitting Rock in the face also became a source for redraws where the two were replaced with pop culture figures.
