Will Smith's son Jaden Smith reacted to the actor slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars.
Shortly after the broadcast ended, Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith's son Jaden took to Twitter. "And That's How We Do It" he tweeted, showing support for his dad following the altercation and Smith winning best actor.
Smith stormed the Oscars stage after Rock made a joke about Pinkett Smith's balding head. The comedian had said he can't wait to see her in "G.I. Jane 2." Pinkett Smith has been struggling with alopecia and has spoken about the condition publicly.
Following the slap, Rock told the crowd, "Oh wow, Will Smith just smacked the s--t out of me."

"Keep my wife's name out your f--king mouth," Smith repeated.

"I know to do what we do, you gotta be able to take abuse and have people talk people about you," he said during the speech. "In this business, you gotta have people disrespecting you. And you gotta smile and pretend that's OK."
He then added, "I want to apologize to the Academy. I want to apologize to my fellow nominees. This is a beautiful moment."
