Will Smith‘s Oscars slap is still haunting audiences.
On theOct 31 episode of The View, a kid sported a questionable Halloween look motivated by the viral minute. In a section entitled,”Boo Are You Wearing?” presented by host Sarah Haines, a number of kids were paraded out on set using “costumes inspired by this year’s hottest topics” that consisted of both “horror stories and shocking moments” varying from popular culture to the political world.
One young design displayed head-to-toe gold bodysuit with a red handprint painted over their cheek, referencing the event where Smith slapped Chris Rock on phase at the 2022 Academy Awards in March after the comic made a joke at the expenditure of Jada Pinkett Smith, who has alopecia.
(Smith later on released an apology on social networks, calling his habits “unacceptable and inexcusable” prior to condemning “violence in all of its forms” as “poisonous and destructive.”)
“We do not want to endorse violence of any kind, but we couldn’t help but talk about one of the hottest hot topics this year,” the talk program’s closet manager Ashley Alderfer Kaufman informed the audience as the kid postured prior to the hosts. “So, we have our interpretation, we have an Oscars statue, we call this ‘The Oscars Slap,’ and he has a red face paint on the statue.”
