During the 2022 Academy Awards on 27 March, the King Richard actor walked onto the stage and slapped comedian Chris Rock after he compared his wife Jada Pinkett Smith - who has the medical condition alopecia - to G.I. Jane. Appearing on Closed Sessions Legend Conversation recently, Smith's longtime collaborator Jazzy Jeff defended his friend. "Don't get it twisted that it was something he was proud of. It was a lapse in judgment, you know?" DJ Jazzy Jeff via Closed Sessions Legend Conversation.
