Chris Rock comments on Will Smith’s Oscars slap
American comedian Chris Rock faced a violent backlash, quite literally, after joking about Jada Pinkett Smith during the 94th Academy Awards. Jada’s husband Will Smith walked up and slapped Chris Rock on the prestigious Oscars platform. The internet has gone wild ever since! Chris Rock has almost stayed away from commenting on this topic, until now.
On Friday at Baltimore’s Lyric Performing Arts Center, where Chris Rock was performing, the comedian greeted the audience and started off his show by stating “I’m alright. I’m alright.”
To add more context, he continued, “healed from the nicks and bruises…for the most part.” After this, Rock did not further discuss the subject. Chris Rock has still maintained a humorous approach toward this. However, not everyone can brush this off.
Chris Rock’s mother speaks up against Will Smith
Rosalie Rock, Chris Rock’s mother, has revealed her thoughts on the Oscars controversy involving her son and Will Smith. Rose Rock is “hurt” as she recollects the slap incident after about a month.
“When Will slapped Chris, he slapped all of us. He really slapped me, because when you hurt my child, you hurt me.“
Rose Rock also added that the 10-year Oscars ban is nothing serious and is “kind of funny.”
Meanwhile, Will Smith is in search of goodwill
