Chris Rock takes late revenge on Will Smith: slap in the face at the Oscars
NOh Will Smiths Slapped at the 2022 Oscars, Chris Rock took late revenge. During a live performance for the Netflix special Chris Rock: Selective Outrage over the weekend, the comedian admitted he was deeply affected by Smith’s “slap.” “People are now asking if it hurt. It still hurts!” Anyone who says words hurt says they’ve never been hit in the face. The anger against him surprised him, especially since he had nothing to do with the actor’s private problems.
“His wife got in the box with her son’s friend. Each of us has been scammed at some point. But none of us have ever let the person who cheated on us interview us on camera,” Rock alluded to an episode of Jada Pinkett Smith’s talk show Red Table, in which she discussed her affair with her husband Smith. Many colleagues would have called Smith a wimp at the time.
The actor (“King Richard”) stormed onto the stage when Rock hosted the Oscars in late March 2022 to slap Rock. The comedian previously joked about Pinkett Smith’s balding head. Rock later said he didn’t know that the actress and presenter suffered from pathological hair loss. He refrained from filing a criminal complaint against Smith. However, the film academy excluded the actor from its events for ten years.
