“Anyone who is OK with that has probably never been hit by a powerful man. As we advise our kids, ‘use your words’.”

Furthermore, while there may be some room for speculation over the punch itself, Smith’s anger as he shouted at Rock certainly seemed 100% genuine.

In the aftermath of the incident, footage shows Denzel Washington consoling Smith during an ad break, the latter wiping away tears. Smith also wept during an acceptance speech that looked a deeply troubled one for him, despite the fact he had just reached what is the pinnacle of a film actor’s career. Apologising to the Academy and his fellow nominees but not Rock.

He said: "Art imitated life; I look the crazy father, just like they said about Richard Williams. Love will make you do crazy things.” If all that was make-believe, he deserves a lorryload of Oscars.

What seems clear is that Rock’s joke about Pinkett-Smith crossed a line. It is absolutely believable that it could cause significant offence. As Pinkett-Smith told a 2018 episode of her Facebook Watch series Red Table Talk, her alopecia has caused her considerable suffering. “It was terrifying when it first started,” she said. “I was in the shower one day and had just handfuls of hair in my hands and I was just like, ‘Oh, my God, am I going bald?' It was one of those times in my life where I was literally shaking with fear.”

It has also been pointed out that Smith and Pinkett-Smith do have some previous with Rock, having been on the end of another Oscars ribbing by the 57-year-old in 2016. Reacting to the pair’s decision to boycott that year’s awards over a lack of diversity in the nominees, Rock, who was hosting the ceremony, said:

“Jada said she’s not coming. I was like, ‘Isn’t she on a TV show?’ Jada’s gonna boycott the Oscars? Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna’s panties. I wasn’t invited!” Rock also took aim at Smith, saying: “It’s not fair that Will was this good [in the movie Concussion] and didn’t get nominated. It’s also not fair that Will was paid $20 million for Wild Wild West!”
