Just minutes later, Smith won his first Oscar, taking home Best Actor for his role in “King Richard.”
Rock joked that he was looking forward to a sequel to “G.I. Jane” starring Pinkett Smith, leading Smith to make his way to the stage and smack Rock.
After taking a seat, Smith shouted to Rock to “keep my wife’s name out of your f***ing mouth.” The exchange came as a surprise to many in the audience, as actress Lupita Nyong’o, who was seated near Smith, and could be seen on camera, looked completely shocked.

According to the LAPD, Rock declined to file a police report. “If the involved party desires a police report at a later date, LAPD will be available to complete an investigative report,” police said.
