FINALLY, we are getting more clarity on The Oscars slap and hearing from people who directly know what happened after the now-infamous moment.
Comedian Chris Rock made his first public appearance since the incident where he was slapped by actor Will Smith at the Oscars on Sunday night after making a joke about the actor's wife. Performing the first of two shows at Boston's Wilbur Theater, Rock briefly referenced the situation, promising to speak on it later and admitting that he was "still processing" the event.
According to the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Science, Smith refused to leave the building after striking Chris Rock and his actions are currently under review.
Just more confirmation that she's a ride-or-die type of woman. Respect.
In an Instagram post showcasing her red carpet look, Kravitz took to the caption to share her feelings regarding the hot topic writing: “Here’s a picture of my dress at the show where we are apparently assaulting people on stage now.”
We are hearing from everyone about "the slap" except the individuals directly involved. Jada Pinkett's entanglement partner, August Alsina, has decided to chime in.
Via social media, Pinkett Smith broke her silence for the first time since the incident but the message doesn't leave much in the way of clues.
According to a second party seller, Rock's comedy tour saw a visible uptick in sales after Smith struck him on stage over the weekend after a joke aimed at Jada Pinkett Smith.
Long before the 2022 Oscar slap that was heard around the world echoed from Will Smith’s hand on Chris Rock’s cheekbone there was tension brewing between the two black entertainment stars.
Packer, who initially made what some took as a joke regarding the shocking incident, explained to critics who blasted him for the comment.
The joke about Jada Pinkett Smith that Chris Rock made at the Oscars was apparently not done in rehearsals or scripted. The quip prompted her husband, Will Smith to take the stage to slap the comedian in the face right after. This revelation came from sources close to organizers at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Will Smith has formally apologized to Chris Rock for slapping him during the telecast of the 94th Academy Awards. The now Oscar-winning actor took to social media to offer his mea culpa.
