Jane," Smith stood up from his seat near the stage, strode up to Rock and slapped him. After sitting back down, Smith shouted at Rock to "keep my wife’s name out of your (expletive) mouth." When Rock, who joked about Jada Pinkett Smith while hosting the Oscars in 2016, protested that it was just a "GI Jane" joke, Smith repeated the same line."That was the greatest night in the history of television," Rock said, before awkwardly returning to presenting best documentary, which went to Questlove’s "Summer of Soul (...or When the Revolution Was Not Televised)."Later in the ceremony, a tearful Smith won the best actor Oscar, his first."I know to do what we do, you got to be able to take abuse.

You got to be able to have people talk crazy about you in this business. You got to be able to have people disrespecting you and you got to smile and you got pretend like that’s OK," Smith said.A few minutes later, rapper Sean Combs — on stage to introduce a tribute to "The Godfather" — tried to play peacemaker and suggested Smith and Rock settle their differences at an Oscars afterparty.
