For his part, Chris Rock has also put humor on the subject of the Oscars, but in his case having fun with Will Smith and his wifealso actress Jada Pinkett Smith.
“Everybody knows, it happened, last year I got slapped by this motherfucker. People ask me ‘did it hurt?’ It still hurts. I have the Summertime song on loop in my ears.
I’m not a victim, you’ll never see me on Oprah crying. I took the hit like Manny Pacquio. Did it hurt? Of course, “Rock commented, among other more personal pearls, in his new monologue, which was broadcast live on Netflix.
However, a source told People that since he slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars, Will Smith has “felt horrible for a long time” to the point that the actor from Focus he tried to make peace with what was a good friend of his. “He has tried unsuccessfully to make peace with Chris the best way he could”detailed the source.
It is clear that Will Smith’s attempts to make peace with Chris Rock have served rather little. Now the comedian has plenty of ammunition to capitalize on the Oscars controversy through his shows. Will they manage to resolve their differences in the future? We will have to wait and see what it holds for them.
