Was Will justified?
Now, this is a really subjective question to be asked to anybody. Many feel that what Chris Rock did was very brave. After being slapped on live television, the way he continued is getting immense praise.
While some say that even though hitting is wrong, Will had his reasons, and that Jada’s disease is personal to her. And that joke was certainly not well-thought-out.
All have their opinion on the matter, but a particular Twitter user feels that Will had no other choice.

@_ja_s_on_ posted a short clip of Chris’ 2016 Oscar hosting monologue in reference to his comment. To brush up on your memory, in 2016, Jada had released an open statement saying she would not be attending the Oscars.
The reason for not attending the ceremony was the lack of diversity. “Is it time that people of color recognize how much power, influence, that we have amassed, that we no longer need to ask to be invited anywhere?” the actress said.

And in that year’s Oscars, Chris joked about Jada boycotting the ceremony and said that it is not about boycotting anything but getting equal opportunities.
So we leave it up to you. Let us know your opinion about the incident and who you think was right.
