Following the slapping incident that occurred on the Oscars stage , Chris Rocks mother has reacted to Will Smith’s infamous slap during Oscars 2022.
In an interview, Chris Rock’s mom said, “You reacted to your wife giving you the side-eye and you went and made her day because she was mulled over laughing when it happened.”
This came up at the Oscars ceremony after Chris Rock cracked a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
Rock suggested Pinkett Smith was getting ready to film a sequel to G.I. Jane- which was seemingly a reference to the actress’ shaved head. Pinkett Smith has been open about her hair loss due to alopecia.
Chris Rocks mother said, while watching the show from home, she she initially thought the incident was staged until Smith began to say “take my wife’s name out your f****ing mouth.” “When he slapped Chris, he slapped all of us. He really slapped me,”
“I feel really bad that he never apologised,” she said. “I mean his people wrote up a piece saying I apologise to Chris Rock, but you see something like that is personal, you reach out.”
Chris Rock’s brother, Comedian Tony Rock also slammed Will Smith for slapping his brother during the live telecast of the 94th Academy Awards.
During his show, Tony told the audience,
“If you walk you’re a** up here, you ain’t nominated for s**t but these mother**ing hands!” Tony continued referencing the infamous Oscars incident, saying, “I didn’t want to start the show like that! You gonna hit my mother*****r brother because your b***h gave you a side-eye?”
