Will Smith May Want to Hit Chris Rock Again When He Hears Comedian’s Take on Oscar Slap Delivered Live to the World

Share

Honestly, Will Smith may want to deck Chris Rock the next time he sees him.

Rock pulled no punches tonight on the first ever live global Netflix comedy special. He went after Smith no holds barred.

Rock blamed Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett, for starting the fight that led to Will jumping out of his seat at the 2022 Oscars slapping Chris on live TV.

Chris said Jada blamed him for Will not getting an Oscar nomination for the movie “Concussion.” He says she held it against him because he was hosting the Oscars. There is no logic there. Rock was just the host.

So when :Rock joked about Jada’s “GI Jana” haircut on the Oscars, Will was set off. But Will and Jada had previously discussed their open marriage and her cheating with her son’s friend, on her talk show.

In tonight’s monologue, Rock delved right into all that, making mincemeat of all of them. He went through a list of people who called Smith a Bitch, repeating the word over and over. Rock did what he could to humiliate both Will and Jada. It was brutal.

As for the actual slap, Chris noted the difference in size between him and Smith. “He played Muhammad Ali!” he said. “He’s on screen without a shirt. Even if I had open heart surgery in a movie, I’d be wearing a sweater!”

Funny stuff, but his feud ain’t over!
