Will Smith and The Oscars will forever be linked after the slapping incident heard around the world involving the actor and Chris Rock. However, some at X are wondering aloud why Will Smith has been banned for his actions, but John Cena who went naked on the Oscars stage got away without a problem.
In a moment with Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel, John Cena introduced the Best Dressed nominees. Cena's strip was a call back to the 1974 Academy Awards, where a naked stripper took the stage.
Cena chose not to run to the stage, but instead was naked except for the fact that he covered the front of his privates with the list of candidates. The award was given to Holly Waddington, who worked on the film, Poor.
While the moment focused on being a comedian at its core, it seems some at X are wondering how academy chiefs let it fly and Smith was hit with a ten-year ban from the festivities.
There are also people on the Internet calling the moment for Cena a “humiliation ritual” as part of the initiation practices of any imaginary Hollywood cabal. We'll leave it alone for all the reasons one can imagine.
As it stands, Will Smith is trending on X, ex-Twitter, and we have reactions to John Cena's moment below.
