At last year’s Oscars, there was a shocking incident when actor Will Smith slapped a comedian Chris Rock to the face in front of all the spectators and television cameras.
The situation ended when Rock joked about Smith’s wife being bald. Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, suffers from alopecia, which causes hair loss and makes it difficult for them to grow. Rock didn’t know about the disease, but thought Pinkett Smith had shaved his head bald.
Rock hasn’t talked much about it in public. Smith, on the other hand, has said in many interviews that he is sorry and regrets what he did.
Rock spoke about it for the first time in a live broadcast on Netflix Chris Rock: Selective Outrage in the show on Saturday.
– Everyone knows what happened. I was slapped a year ago. People ask if it happened. It still hurts. Summertime-song is ringing in my ears, Rock snapped.
– I am not a victim. You won’t see me Oprah’s or Gaylen in programs. I took the punch like Manny Pacquiao!
Rock explained why he didn’t hit Smith back.
– Do you know what my parents taught me? You can’t fight in front of white people.
Rock said that he has been a fan of Smith since he was young. He joked that he was watching instead of cheering these days Emancipation-movie to see the actor get screwed again and again.
