Will Smith is still attracting criticism for his actions at the Oscars 2022. This time it&#039;s Dave Chappelle who has shared his views.

Will Smith Is “as ugly as the rest of us” Says Dave Chappelle About the Infamous Oscar Slapgate

Oscars 2022 provided too much fodder for drama and entertainment this year.
Unlike its previous editions which were a glorious affair, this year’s edition
was marred by the Slapgate controversy. Will Smith shocked the attendance and
the viewers when he walked on the stage to slap Chris Rock while he was hosting
the Academy Awards.

In an entirely unscripted moment, the actor slapped him right across the face.
Rock had made a joke about Jada Pinkett’s recent condition Alopecia. Several
months after the controversy, it’s still a hot topic of discussion. And Smith is
still trying to win over the Academy and Rock. Comedian Dave Chapelle has
recently given his two cents about the incident and he’s clearly not in favor of
the Prince of Bel Air.

DAVE CHAPPELLE IS GLAD THAT PEOPLE ARE SEEING THE REAL WILL SMITH AND NOT A
MASK 

Dave Chapelle is currently on a joint comedy tour with Chris Rock. He recently
addressed the slapgate and spoke against Will’s actions. He scathingly remarked
that Will was wearing a mask all along, but the Oscars fiasco finally allowed
people to see the real Will Smith [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/will-smith/].
He further added that he sees himself in both men. 

“Will did the impression of a perfect person for 30 years, and he ripped his
mask off and showed us he was as ugly as the rest of us. Whatever the
consequences are… I hope he doesn’t put his mask back on again and lets his real
face breathe. I see myself in both men,” he said.

A few days after the incident, Smith had taken to his social media to apologize
to Rock. He even uploaded an apology video

recently but Rock isn’t quite ready to hear his apology yet. Many criticized the
Bad Boy’s actor for not apologizing to Rock during the Oscars speech.
Apparently, Chris has turned the incident into a set and has rejected his
apology. 

Smith is still facing backlash from the industry. Although he was allowed to
keep the award for Best Actor for King Richards, the Academy has banned him from
any Oscar-related events for the decade.
