Chris Rock remains to be cracking some jokes in regards to the notorious slap from Will Smith.
As you recognize, the 53-year-old actor stormed the stage and smacked Chris throughout the face in the course of the Academy Awards earlier this 12 months after the comic poked enjoyable at Jada Pinkett-Smith’s 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 previously, so Will clearly didn’t take the joke too kindly. Since then, Chris has not been shy about making some jokes right here and there in regards to the messy scenario all through his Ego Demise World Tour — and that was no completely different when he took the stage this week.

Hours after Will dropped an apology video for the incident on Friday, the 57-year-old carried out on the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. Though he didn’t instantly tackle the newest assertion from the King Richard star, he did make it clear he doesn’t see himself as a sufferer following the slap. He stated on the time:
“Everybody is trying to be a f**king victim. If everybody claims to be a victim, then nobody will hear the real victims. Even me getting smacked by Suge Smith … I went to work the next day, I got kids.”
It seems to be like Will has a brand new nickname, now. In case you didn’t know, the “Suge Smith” half is in a play on the title of Marion “Suge” Knight, the previous CEO of Demise Row Information who’s at the moment spending time in jail for voluntary manslaughter. Chris continued:
“Anyone who says words hurt has never been punched in the face.”
As we talked about, the brand new feedback got here shortly after Will made a private video message during which he apologized to Chris and his household for what went down on the Oscars. The Aladdin star claimed that he obtained phrase that the Madagascar star was “not ready to talk” and would “reach out” when he was prepared to take action. Will went on so as to add:
“I will say to you, Chris, I apologize to you. My behavior was unacceptable, and I’m here whenever you’re ready to talk. I want to apologize to Chris’s mothe. I saw an interview that Chris’s mother did. And that was one of the things about that moment I just didn’t realize. I wasn’t thinking but how many people got hurt in that moment. So I want to apologize to Chris’s mother. I want to apologize to Chris’s family. Specifically Tony Rock. We had a great relationship. Tony Rock was my man. And this is this is probably irreparable.”
Hopefully, the 2 can transfer previous this case quickly. Ideas on what Chris needed to say after the apology video, Perezcious readers? Tell us within the feedback under.
