Serena Williams, like many others, couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at Oscars 2022.
Taking to Instagram, the star tennis player dropped a video to react to the unexpected on-stage altercation on Sunday night.
Williams is seen jaw-dropped to look at the broadcast before she looks away from the camera.
"I just sat down 'cus I was like I gotta put that drink down,” she said in another video.
For those unversed, Smith hit Rock when the comedian cracked a joke about Smith’s wife Jade Pinkett Smith shaving her head amid battle with alopecia.
"keep my wife's name out your [expletive] mouth,” Smith told Rock.
Following the altercation, the King Richard star extended an apology during his Oscar acceptance speech.
“I want to apologize to the Academy. I want to apologize to all my fellow nominees. This is a beautiful moment and I’m not crying for winning an award. It’s not about winning an award for me. It’s about being able to shine a light on all of the people,” he said.
