Since yesterday Will Smith and Chris Rock's slapgate incident at Oscars 2022 has been the talk of the town. Earlier, Kangana Ranaut reacted to the same and now, Samantha has shared a post that talks about the slapping incident at the Academy Awards 2022. Will's reaction to Chris' 'joke' divided netizens and the audience in general. While a lot of people thought that Smith took a stand for Jada, a lot of the people were not happy with Will's act of violence. Netizens reacted to the same saying that it could have been addressed in a different way other than taking to violence, i.e., slapping Chris on stage with distinguished guests in attendance and people watching it live.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu took to her social media handle and shared a post by Yuvaa. The post talks about understanding comedy and masculinity. The post talked about Jada's condition of alopecia. It is said that alopecia is an auto-immune disease. Jada has been vocal about her condition, as is known. The post said that in a world where women's beauty is often tied to her hair, the situation was a delicate one for her. It further noted that any comedian should not make fun of anyone's appearance. When comedians make jokes belittling or offending someone, it is called 'punching down'. However, the post also condemned Will Smith's reaction and related it to toxic masculinity. The post said that "No matter how wrong or offensive the person is, assaulting them is a crime." Toxic masculinity paints men as 'protectors' through violence. It also included suggestive steps that Will could have taken after Chris' joke on Jada's hair. The post ended with 'Punching down is never a good comedy, but violence as a response is never the answer."
