Testament’s Alex Skolnick condemns Will Smith for hitting Chris Rock at the Oscars

Testament‘s Alex Skolnick has condemned Will Smith for smacking Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards.

The guitarist reacted a short time after Smith, 53, interrupted the 57-year-old comedian’s introduction of “Best Documentary” with a slap across the face. The altercation came after Rock made a joke about Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith, saying, “Jada, I love ya. G.I. Jane 2, can’t wait to see ya,” an apparent reference to the actress’s bald hairstyle as she lives with the autoimmune disorder alopecia, which attacks follicles resulting in bald spots and hair loss.

Wait… Chris Rock makes a bad joke about Jada Pinkett’s appearance. Will Smith walks onstage hits him in the face shouts out obscenities & later in tears accepts an Oscar saying “Love makes you do crazy things” to a STANDING OVATION?!? WTF Hollywood. That’s not WOKE. That’s WEAK

You know what would be RAD?

Will: I’m sorry Chris.
I shouldn’t have done that.
What you said really hurt her feelings & that made me furious.
I lost my cool.

Chris: I understand. I forgive you.
I really didn’t mean to hurt y’all like that.
I wouldn’t have said it if I’d known.
