Chris Rock Describes Feelings Of Will Smith’s Slap A Year After The Oscars Incident

Will Smith slapped host Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars. The reason for the incident was an unsuccessful joke about the shaved head of the wife of actor Jada Pinkett Smith. At a recent stand-up performance, the comedian spoke in more detail about the incident and its aftermath.

You all know what happened to me – Bully Smith hit me. Everyone knows about it. Everyone fucking knows this. I got hit a year ago and people keep asking, “Did it hurt?” And it still hurts. The song “Summertime” is still ringing in my ears.

Despite increased attention from the press, demanding more details, Rock flatly refuses. The comedian did not directly say if he was in pain, but he did notice that Smith was significantly larger than him. Rock explained that it all started with the talk show “Red Table Talk” featuring Smith and Pinkett Smith.

His wife was sleeping with her son’s friend. I usually talk about this. I have no idea why two talented people would do something so lame. We’ve all been deceived here, we’ve all been deceived. None of us have ever interviewed the person who cheated on us on television … She hurt him much more than the pain he hurt me.

After that conversation, Rock tried to talk to Smith to express his condolences, but he did not pick up the phone. The Rock also hinted that the feud between him and the Smith family stemmed from the 2016 Academy Awards, which he hosted despite Pinkett Smith’s call for a boycott due to the lack of diversity in the nominations.

She said I should leave because Will didn’t get nominated for The Protector. Then I joke about it, who cares? That’s it. She started, I finished. Nobody picks on her. She started on her own. No one bothered her,” he admitted.

Previously, Will Smith was invited to the Grammys for the first time since the “cancellation”. The actor did not come to the award. This may have been the first major awards show that Will has appeared at since the Oscar scandal. He did not appear at the event due to the filming of Bad Boys 4.
