Will Smith appears to hit Chris Rock during the 94th Oscars.

Viewers were left scratching their heads after Will Smith appeared to hit Chris Rock during the 2022 Oscars.

Rock appeared onstage at the 94th Academy Awards to present the award for “Best Documentary Feature.” During a comedy bit, he joked that Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith was going to appear in “G.I. Jane II.”

The 1997 film “G.I. Jane” saw actress Demi Moore shave her head while training to join the U.S. Navy.

Smith, who went on to win the “Best Actor” award, appeared to laugh off the joke before walking on stage and seemingly hitting Rock.

Despite the moment being bleeped in the United States, foreign broadcasts saw the moment unedited. A clip of the moment was shared on Instagram by Amanda Hirsch, the host of the “Not Skinny Not Fat” podcast.

“Wow, Will Smith just smacked the s*** out of me,” Rock stated as Smith walked away. He went on to add, “Wow dude, it was a G.I. Jane joke.”

Smith repeatedly responded, “Keep my wife’s name out your f****** mouths.”

“I’m going to, okay,” he added. “Okay, that was the greatest night in the history of television. So we are here to give a documentary out.”
