Chris Rock and Will Smith & Jada Pinkett-Smith | 8
In a shocking turn of events at the Oscars, Will Smith confronted Chris Rock with a slap following a contentious joke about Jada Pinkett-Smith's hair loss. This incident led to a myriad of questions - Was Smith acting in defense of his wife or was it an unprovoked attack on a peer? Was there a hidden feud between the two or did Jada have a role in the outburst? A year later, with Rock's biting Netflix special adding fuel to the fire, the question still stands: What instigated this shocking act of violence on the Oscar stage?
