American television host, actor, and comedian, Steve Harvey has weighed in on Will Smith slapping comedian Chris Rock on the Oscar Awards stage. He made this known while speaking at a keynote event at Georgia State University.
During the event, when he was asked how he felt about Will Smith’s actions, and how he would have handled the situation if he were in Chris Rock’s position, Steve Harvey made it clear that he would have been the wrong one to try, he further stated that his feelings towards Will Smith have definitely changed since then.
“I’m a Christian, but I’m really undeveloped. I don’t have high-level Christianity. On a scale of 1 to 10, I’m like a 2. That’s the level of Christianity I can work on,” Harvey said.
“You slap T.D. Jakes, he’ll turn the other cheek. You slap me? If you sit back in your seat, Jada would have to move out of the way. That’s the type of Christian I am.”
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, which covered the speaking event, Harvey referred to Smith slapping Rock as a “punk move,” adding that he “lost a lot of respect” for the Oscar winner following the 94th Academy Awards.
