However, some sections of the population seem to be divided on Smith’s actions. The Twitterati furthermore pointed out the ‘hypocrisy’ of Will to let go of his wife’s alleged affair with singer August Alsina in the past but to have a violent reaction to a joke that was presumably made on a leisurely taste at the ceremony.

Jada Pinkett Smith had taken the tinsel town by storm after she had confessed to having a relationship with singer August Alsina while she was separated from Will Smith for a brief period of time. The Nutty Professor actress was quoted by The Daily Mail to reveal on the show, “Four and a half years ago... I started a friendship with August. We actually became really, really good friends. It all started with him just needing some help, me wanting to help his health, his mental state. From there as time went on, I got into a different kind of entanglement with August. It was a relationship, absolutely. I was in a lot of pain, and I was very broken. Now in the process of that relationship, I definitely realized that you can’t find happiness outside of yourself.”

The couple was also taken a jibe on by actress Rebel Wilson while she was hosting the BAFTA award. Wilson had said, “'I thought his best performance over the past year was being OK with all his wife’s boyfriends.” However, Smith had denied any rumors of infidelity in their marriage. Concluding on the present Oscars 2022 controversy, Smith lost his cool on Chris owing to the latter’s joke on Jada’s appearance amidst her battling with alopecia.
