How Will Smith’s Ex-Wife Sheree Zampino, Other Celebrities Reacted to 'Oscars Slap'

Will Smith's ex-wife, Sheree Zampino, reportedly "skedaddled" from the 2022 Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Party after the actor slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars.

Zampino was reportedly surrounded by A-listers, including Kyle Richards, inside the star-studded viewing party, all watching, when this monumentally shocking moment suddenly happened.

The "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star, who was sitting next to Zampino, told Extra's Katie Krause on the red carpet that Zampino left, and she went with Smith and the family, according to Page Six.

When asked if the "RHOBH" newbie had any facial reactions to the moment, Richards said she could not recall anything noteworthy. Like many others, Richards said they were "confused" about whether the slap was real or staged.

While Richards called Smith "amazing" in the "King Richard" movie, she admitted that "it's a little disappointing, like, you're nominated for an Oscar, just take it, be proud... Don't taint it by adding that into the mix."

Richards, 53, noted that Will Smith and Chris Rock's stage altercation "stole the show."

Sheree Zampino Shares Smiling Photo With Will Smith After Oscars Controversy

Sheree Zampino appeared to be nothing but happy for her former husband. She later took to Instagram to share a photo of herself holding Will Smith's golden Academy Award statuette as they smiled together.

She captioned it: "Epic Night! Congratulations again - when 1 wins we all win! #family1st."

Zampino, 54, was married to Smith, 53, from 1992 to 1995, with whom she shares a 29-year-old son named Trey. She has remained on good terms with Smith and has a cordial relationship with his second wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.

Smith made headlines during the Oscars ceremony on Sunday when he walked on stage and slapped Chris Rock, 57, after the comedian made a joke about Pinkett Smith's bald head. The "Red Table Talk" host has spoken publicly about her struggles with autoimmune disease alopecia, which causes hair loss.

After Smith won the Best Actor award for his role in "King Richard," he gave a tearful apology to the Academy and his fellow nominees but made no mention of Rock.

Smith compared himself to his character in the film, a "fierce defender of his family." Later that night, at the Vanity Fair afterparty, Sean "Diddy" Combs confirmed to Page Six that Chris Rock and Will Smith had sorted things out.

Hollywood Stars' Reaction to Will Smith's Oscars Outburst

Even people who did not watch the 94th Academy Awards on Sunday night most likely heard about "the slap," and many celebrities have shared their reactions, CBS News reported.

Lupita Nyong'o, who was sitting next to Will Smith, was on camera when Will Smith returned to his seat and warned Chris Rock to "keep my wife's name out of your f***ing mouth."

The Kenyan-Mexican actress looked visibly stunned by the incident, and her reaction of shock and disbelief immediately went viral on social media. The shocked expressions of Nicole Kidman and Serena Williams were also captured on camera.

After the incident at the ceremony, Tyler Perry, Denzel Washington, and Bradley Cooper were all spotted talking to Smith. Cooper appeared to be comforting Smith in one photo.

Many viewers at home rushed to Twitter to express their views. Actress and model Jodie Turner-Smith tweeted that she had "a second hand embarrassment for all involved."

The couple's 23-year-old son, Jaden Smith, tweeted, "And That's How We Do It," although it is not clear if the tweet refers to the slap.

In a since-deleted tweet, Judd Apatow said Smith could have killed Rock, adding that the action was pure out-of-control rage and violence. Many people criticized the director for commenting on the matter.

While the public may not appreciate "how it went down," Tiffany Haddish told People that it was the most beautiful thing she had ever witnessed because it made her believe that there are still men who love and care for their wives.
