Rock made a tasteless joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head, saying, “Jada, I love you. GI Jane 2, can’t wait to see you,” referencing the transformation Demi Moore underwent in the 1997 film G.I. Jane. Will, in turn, made the reckless decision to get violent. Moments after, Smith went up on stage to accept his Best Actor win for King Richard, in which he played Richard Williams, the father and coach of tennis legends Venus and Serena. “Richard Williams was a fierce defender of his family,” he said. “In this business, you’ve got to be able to have people disrespecting you, and you’ve got to smile and you’ve got to pretend like that’s OK.” The next…
