Will Smith
One of the biggest moments in pop culture this year was when actor Will Smith struck comedian Chris Rock at the Oscars. He did this with more than just his words – he used his fist! As you might have expected, the Internet was outraged at this moment, and Smith faced a ton of other consequences, too.
The Academy Awards have banned Smith from appearing at the award show for 10 years, while a number of Smith’s movies, like Fast and Loose and Bad Boys 4, are ‘on hold.’ However, the incident also increased his memoir sales, taking him to the second spot on the New York Times bestseller list.
