Rock made a joke about her short hair and after the joke, a visibly upset Smith stormed the stage and slapped Rock in the face.

Smith then repeatedly yelled, “Keep my wife’s name out of your f-ing mouth!”

Pinkett Smith has previously spoken about her struggle with hair loss disorder, alopecia.

Their son, Jaden Smith, supported his father by saying, “And that’s how we do it!” on Twitter.

The couple’s daughter, Willow Smith, has not publicly commented on the incident but has continued to post to Instagram as normal.
