Oscars 2022: Ricky Gervais' Reaction to Will Smith-Chris Rock Slapgate is an 'Alopecia' Joke from The Office (Watch Video)
The Will Smith-Chris Rock controversy at the 94th Academy Awards has left the industry divided with some celebs supporting Smith over Rock's crass GI Jane joke on Jada Pinkett Smith. While others felt Will Smith should be condemned over physical assault of a person on live television.
Fans, expecting the upfront and the hilariously blunt Ricky Gervais to react to the infamous Will Smith-Chris Rock spat at Oscars 2022, were not disappointed. Gervais retweeted a scene from his popular show The Office (UK version) where his character David Brent makes a remark about a female character having alopecia. To give some context, Rock made a joke on Will Smith's wife Jada Pinkett Smith's bald head, when the latter had publicly stated she is suffering from alopecia, which made Will Smith to go on stage and smack the comedian.
