The slap heard and seen around the world is still ringing in the ears and mouths of shocked onlookers a day later.

Sunday night (March 27), shortly ahead of accepting his first Academy Award ever, legendary actor Will Smith smacked Chris Rock for delivering a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith, and her battle with alopecia. Though he later apologized for the incident, the damage had been done as social media ignited with debates about the appropriateness of the occurrence given the time and venue.

Among those leading the conversation are Smith and Rock’s fellow celebrities. Look inside to see what the likes of Nicki Minaj, Lil Kim, Cher, Tiffany Haddish, Lil Nas X, 50 Cent, and others had to say.

And while both were recognized with nominations by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) in their years of eligibility (2002 and 2007 respectively), neither nabbed a golden statuette for Smith – a loss many critics still deem a misstep on behalf of the Academy.
