Will Smith won't be able to attend the Oscars because he slapped Chris Rock on stage at the awards ceremony.

Chris Rock was defended by the late comedian Gilbert Gottfried in a finalInstagram post before he died. See it below.

After a long illness, the star of "Aladdin" died on Tuesday at the age of 67.

Will Smith was offended by Rock's joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head, and like the rest of the world, he watched Rock take a slap at the Oscars.

On the day after, he put his feelings into a one-liners.

Which is the worst crime? wrote Gottfried after posting a picture of him and Rock. Is Chris Rock telling a joke or being physically attacked?

It's a great way to make a point.

Smith was banned from the Oscars for 10 years for his assault, which some of his comedy colleagues saw as serious.

Smith's action could encourage audience members to attack comics just for telling jokes they find offensive.

It just so happens that one of the most famous routines of all time was packed with so many jokes that it was hilarious.

Gilbert, I am sad.
