Seven years ago, Chris Rock took a shot at Jada Pinkett on the Oscars Academy Award stage, when he was hosting.
Back then, both Jada nor Will Smith did not attend the award ceremony.
In his opening remarks, Rock teased, “Jada said she’s not coming. I was like, ‘Isn’t she on a TV show?’ Jada’s gonna boycott the Oscars? Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I wasn’t invited!”
The joke craked up the audience.
At the time, Jada had shot a Facebook video boycotting the award show, saying, “This is so deeply not about me.
This is about the children that are going to sit down and watch this show and they aren’t going to see themselves represented.”

Rock also went in on Will Smith.
“It’s not fair that Will was this good and didn’t get nominated. You’re right,” he said. “It’s also not fair that Will was paid $20 million for Wild Wild West!”
Reacting to the 2016 Oscars monologue by Rock, Jada said, “Hey look, it comes with the territory, we gotta keep it moving,” she said at the time.
Now fast forward to 2022, Rock made a joke about Jada’s hair after pointing to her from the stage and saying, “Jada, I love ya. G.I. Jane 2, can’t wait to see it.”
Jada’s disgust was visible on television, prompting Will to get up off his seat, walk up to Rock onstage and slap him in the face.
