Chris Rock shared, last Saturday night, his version of the story about the controversial slap that went down in history as one of the most controversial moments of the Oscars. Well, during a comedy show, the actor made harsh jokes about Will Smith and his wife.
In the show, broadcast on Netflix, Chris Rock assured that he does not consider himself a victim. “Did it hurt? It still hurts, I have the bang ringing in my ear, but I’m not a victim. You will never see me in Oprah (Winfrey) or Gayl (King) crying, it will never happen. I took the punch like (boxer Manny) Pacquiao,” he said.
Smith’s attack on Rock forever marked the 83rd Oscar gala. Chris Rock took the stage at the Dolby Theater to present the award for best documentary and made a joke about the shaved head of Pinkett-Smith, who has publicly acknowledged that she suffers from alopecia, comparing her to Lieutenant O’Neil in the Ridley Scott film. After Pinkett-Smith briefly closed her eyes in annoyance, her husband rose from his seat and walked up on stage to slap Rock across the face.
“Many people have asked me, how come you didn’t do anything that night? Because I have parents and they taught me that you shouldn’t fight in front of white people,” added the actor. Of the 70 minutes that the performance lasts, which took place on Saturday night in Baltimore and was part of a tour that the comedian is carrying out through several cities, Rock dedicated the last 8 to dispatch against the actor and his wife. At one point in his show, he even referred to Jada’s alleged infidelity with one of his son Jaden’s friends.
Thus, he confessed that all his life he has loved Smith and that “he made some great movies”, but now what he likes is to watch “Emancipation” (an Apple TV film based on the true story of a slave who escapes from a plantation in Louisiana) “to see how they beat him”. In August it was learned, in a performance similar to the one last night, that Rock rejected a proposal made by the Hollywood Academy to present this year’s Oscars, which will be held on March 12 in Los Angeles.
Although Rock had not previously spoken publicly about the incident directly, Yes, he has included some allusive comments in several of the functions that he has starred in. During the last months.
