Social media is divided after American actor Will Smith slapped Oscars host Chris Rock at Sunday night’s ceremony. Rock made a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, in an apparent reference to her shaved head – which is a result of a hair loss condition, alopecia.
Will Smith scooped the award for “Best Actor,” in which he tearfully apologized for his actions. While some social media users support Smith for defending his wife, others worry that his behavior could reinforce colored men’s stereotypes of being “aggressive.” What do you think❓
