Oscars 2022: Chris Rock's "GI Jane" Joke Explained

Ocars 2022: This is not the first time that the comedian has taken pot-shots at Jada Pinkett Smith. He had done that while hosting the Oscars in 2016.

Actor Will Smith shocked the world by hitting comedian Chris Rock in the face on stage at the Oscars night on Sunday. The trigger was a joke cracked by Rock about Smith's wife Jada Pinkett Smith and her shaved head.

"Jada, can't wait for GI Jane 2," said the comedian. The comment infuriated Will Smith, who walked up to the presented and punched him.

After returning to his seat, the actor was heard screaming, "Keep my wife's name out of your f****** mouth."

Jada Pinkett Smith opened up about her decision to shave her head a few years ago, revealing on her talk show her battle with alopecia areata.
