Months after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock

Chris Rock Takes a Dig at Will Smith as the Comedian Returns to the Oscar Nights Stage for a Show

Chris Rock may be the first person to avenge with jokes. The 94th Academy Award
made news for the winners and the performances, but perhaps more for the Will
Smith slap gate incident. Rock had bagged himself the chance to be Oscar’s host
for the third time, after 2005 and 2016. He was undoubtedly considered a good
entertaining choice, but not even the comedian would’ve expected the outcome of
it all.

The Spiral actor joked about Jada Smith’s bald ahead by calling her G. I Jane 2.
The actress had shaved her hair because of a condition called alopecia areata.
The joke clearly did not sit well with her or their husband Will Smith. After
mouthing Rock to keep his wife’s name out, the I Am Legend actor suddenly got up
to the stage and slapped Rock across his face. Now months after, the Oscar host
was back on the same stage.


HOW CHRIS ROCK TACKLED THE WILL SMITH CONTROVERSY?

Chris Rock has clearly not accepted Will Smith’s apology yet. The whole Oscar
incident now to have come a full circle since the comedian came back on the
stage mocking Will Smith during a gig. As per reports
[https://www.cinemablend.com/movies/chris-rock-returned-to-the-site-of-the-oscars-slap-and-he-dropped-some-jokes-about-will-smith],
Rock was at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles to perform there for the first time
since the incident. On touching the topic of getting slapped by Smith, he said,
“Did it hurt?’ You’re goddamn right it hurt.”

Will Smith is visibly bigger than Chris Rock, so the comedian mocked how “this
mother f*cker played Ali! I played Pookie from ‘New Jack City!” He was referring
to the 54-year-old’s 2001 movie Ali, based on boxer Muhammad Ali. Him being
Pookie from the 1991 movie New Jack City.

[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-dave-chappelle-goes-on-snl-to-give-edgy-monologue-about-kanye-west-over-antisemitic-comments/]
were topics of the stand-up comedian’s stunt. Chris Rock revealed how he does
not want to fight in front of white people and was raised better than to fight
back. Apparently, he has no intentions to contact Smith anytime soon but
continues to use him for joke content.
