They did WHAT on The View?!
Will Smith‘s notorious March 2022 on-stage Oscars slap of comic Chris Rock was immortalized as a Halloween costume this weekend in a Saturday Night Live skit. As a joke. Then it was immortalized once more on The View on Monday morning — solely this time the controversial costume was placed on a toddler!

The speak present held their annual Boo Are You Wearing? particular throughout Monday’s present. As co-host Sarah Haines defined whereas introducing the section, the costumes had been “inspired by this year’s hottest topics,” which included each “horror stories and shocking moments” from popular culture and the political realm.
There had been loads of present occasion happenings happening within the section. One costume referenced financial inflation, and one other poked enjoyable at TV doc-turned-political candidate Dr. Oz (no, it wasn’t about useless canine…). But the head-turner was centered on The Slap, the already notorious second following Rock’s on-stage joke about Jada Pinkett Smith‘s alopecia!!
The present’s wardrobe supervisor, Ashley Alderfer Kaufman, introduced out the ultimate little one who was rocking a head-to-toe gold bodysuit to associate with a purple handprint on his cheek. (!!!) She advised the hosts:
“We do not want to endorse violence of any kind, but we couldn’t help but talk about one of the hottest hot topics this year. So, we have our interpretation, we have an Oscars statue, we call this ‘The Oscars Slap,’ and he has a red face paint on the statue.”
And the outfit was… SOMETHING ELSE!
Yowza. They didn’t wish to “endorse violence” however they positively wished to hit us within the face with this assertion!
