On the stage for presenting the Best Documentary Feature at the 94<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;Academy Awards, Rock joked about Jada Pinkett being in &ldquo;G.I. Jane&rdquo; because of her shaved head. Smith stormed on the stage to slap Rock and moving back to his seat told him twice to keep his wife &ldquo;out of his f**ing mouth&rdquo;.</p>

Alopecia, an autoimmune disorder has caused Smith&rsquo;s wife appearance which results in hair loss.</p>

Smith who later went on to win the Oscar for the Best Actor for his performance in &ldquo;King Richard&rdquo;, apologised to the Academy and others.</p>
