Chris Rock remains to be cracking some jokes in regards to the notorious slap from Will Smith.
As you realize, the 53-year-old actor stormed the stage and smacked Chris throughout the face through the Academy Awards earlier this 12 months after the comic poked enjoyable at Jada Pinkett-Smiths shaved head, evaluating her to a personality within the film G.I. Jane. The 50-year-old speak present host has been open about her struggles with alopecia prior to now, so Will clearly didnt take the joke too kindly.

Hours after Will dropped an apology video for the incident on Friday, the 57-year-old carried out on the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. Although he didn’t immediately handle the most recent assertion from the King Richard star, he did make it clear he doesn’t see himself as a sufferer following the slap. He mentioned on the time:
Everybody is making an attempt to be a f**king sufferer. If everyone claims to be a sufferer, then no one will hear the actual victims. Even me getting smacked by Suge Smith … I went to work the following day, I obtained children.
It appears like Will has a brand new nickname, now. In case you didnt know, the Suge Smith half is in a play on the title of Marion Suge Knight, the previous CEO of Death Row Records who’s at present spending time in jail for voluntary manslaughter. Chris continued:
Anyone who says phrases damage has by no means been punched within the face.
As we talked about, the brand new feedback got here shortly after Will made a private video message through which he apologized to Chris and his household for what went down on the Oscars. The Aladdin star claimed that he acquired phrase that the Madagascar star was not prepared to speak and would attain out when he was prepared to take action. Will went on so as to add:
I’ll say to you, Chris, I apologize to you. My habits was unacceptable, and I’m right here everytime you’re prepared to speak. I need to apologize to Chriss mothe. I noticed an interview that Chriss mom did. And that was one of many issues about that second I simply didnt notice. I wasnt considering however how many individuals obtained damage in that second. So I need to apologize to Chriss mom. I need to apologize to Chriss household. Specifically Tony Rock. We had a fantastic relationship. Tony Rock was my man. And that is that is in all probability irreparable.
Hopefully, the 2 can transfer previous this example quickly. Thoughts on what Chris needed to say after the apology video, Perezcious readers? Let us know within the feedback under.
