Jada Pinkett-Smith could be seen rolling her eyes when the joke was delivered. The former Fresh Prince, who appeared to try and laugh it all off at one stage, then left his seat to slap Chris Rock, and told him to ‘keep his wife’s name out of his f***ing mouth’. The flustered presenter then tried to keep the show going.

It’s quite possible that this beef has been cooking for a while, though. Six years ago, Chris Rock made a comment about Jada Pinkett-Smith boycotting the Oscars ceremony – which didn’t go down well with the married couple.
No wonder that slap went so hard, then. It’s been loading since 2016…
