Despite the fact that almost 10 months have passed since the event, the slap of Will Smith Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars continues to be a recurring theme in Hollywood.
Unless you’ve lived in isolation from the world, you’ll know Will Smith slapped Chris Rock after the comedian made a joke about Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett’s hair at the gala.
The actor would win the Oscar shortly thereafter for his role in movie William’s method. However, the fallout from his backlash would see Will Smith banned from Academy events for a decade and lose his status as a member of the organization.
With the awards circuit boiling again, the Golden Globes presentation gala that took place this morning in Los Angeles brought up again the question of the slap of the actor.

“I want to let you know that there is an ultimate plan that you can follow to achieve success, prosperity, longevity and peace of mind. There’s a blueprint and I’ve followed it my entire career, it’s very simple, just do these three things: pay your taxes, mind your own business and keep the name of Will Smith’s wife out of your fucking mouth.“.
Eddie Murphy’s speech was censored in the US, but City TV’s broadcast in Canada included everything, as you can see above.
Despite the setback that the incident with Chris Rock meant for his career, Will Smith is bouncing back with roles like Towards Freedom or, soon, the fourth film of Two rebel policemen.
