There was an amazing moment at the Oscars a few minutes ago where Will Smith jumped out of his seat and slapped Chris Rock across the face — HARD — after Rock made a joke that Smith’s wife, Jada, who is bald thanks to a medical condition is auditioning for “GI Jane 2,” an older movie starring Demi Moore as a female Navy SEAL who shaved her head.

But, in America, the censors at ABC didn’t want us to hear Smith yelling at Rock when he went back to his seat. Viewers in Australia, however, heard and saw the whole thing:
“NONE OF THAT WAS BLEEPED IN AUSTRALIA WILL SMITH SAID “KEEP MY WIFE’S NAME OUT OF YOUR F***ING MOUTH”
And watch it for yourself:
