Wrestling industry veteran ‘Dirty’ Dutch Mantell has claimed that Will Smith’s slap at last weekend’s Academy Awards was planned in advance.
Smith slapped the comedian after Rock made a joke about Will’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head.
Both Will and Jade have spoken openly about her battles with alopecia which causes hair loss.
On Twitter, Mantell gave his explanation for why the slap was planned in a tweet.
Smith would apologize for his actions during his acceptance speech for Best Actor.
People are emailing me asking if the Will Smith/Chris Rock incident at the Oscars was…uh…ahem…planned? Really people?? This is what wrestling was built off of. Nobody knew but Will and Chris. That’s all that needed to know. But check out this photo. @rdore2000 pic.twitter.com/xST5IPRjKA
