Chris made fun of Will’s wife Jada at the recently concluded Oscars, saying “Jada, I love ya. G.I. Jane 2, can’t wait to see it.” The comedian was referring to Demi Moore, who sported a buzz cut in the said movie.
The joke didn’t sit well with Will as Jada has been struggling with alopecia, an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss. The latter has been open about shaving her head due to her medical condition.
During the heated moment at the ceremony, Will went onstage to slap Chris. “Keep my wife’s name out of your f---ing mouth!” he said.
Will has publicly apologized to Chris on Tuesday, March 29, calling his behavior “unacceptable and inexcusable.”
