The trio had previously been friends
for Best Documentary when he joked that Jada was starring in 'G.I. Jane 2' in reference to her shaved head.
While the moment might have been shocking, it's even more surprising because Chris and Will used to be friends. In fact, in 1995, Chris and his sister Jasmine had cameo appearances in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air alongside Smith. After this, the pair remained friends - and even hung out together with Jada, after Will and Jada tied the knot in 1997.
But things really soured at the 2016 Oscars, where Chris singled out Jada again, making a joke at Pinkett Smith's decision not to attend the event over the lack of Black nominees. 'But what happened this year? People went mad,' Rock said in his opening monologue. 'Spike Lee went mad... Jada Pinkett Smith went mad. Will Smith went mad. Everyone went mad. Jada said she's not coming, protesting.
In 2018, it was also reported that Rock left a comment on a birthday Instagram post Will dedicated to his ex-wife Sheree Zampino, the mother of his son Trey, which said '#BestBabyMamaEver' and 'I Love You Ree-Ree' in the caption. 'Wow. You have a very understanding wife,' Chris wrote, according to E! Online, to which Sheree replied: 'Don't hate'.
