“Will Smith hit me for my nicest joke ever,” says comedian Chris Rock

Will Smith hit comedian Chris Rock earlier this year during the Oscars 2022, and it made headlines for a long time. Chris stated during a recent stand-up comedy show that Will slapped him for the nicest joke he had ever told. It was during the award ceremony when Chris made a joke about Will’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.

Chris reminded the crowd about the slap event during his most recent comedy show with Dave Chappelle in England, “Did that s **t hurt? The motherf**ker attacked me over a bulls ** t joke, the nicest joke I have ever told.”

Will stepped up to the stage in March 2022 and gave a tight slap to Chris after he joked about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith’s, bald head. “Can’t wait for GI Jane 2,” Chris had said, pointing to Demi Moore’s 1997 film GI Jane. in this movie, Demi’s role Jordan O’Neil shaves her head after entering the Navy Seals. Jada disclosed a few years ago on her chat program that she decided to shave her head after suffering from alopecia areata, an autoimmune illness.

Will was prohibited from participating in any Academy Award ceremony for the next ten years as a result of this incident. He posted a YouTube video in July answering everyone’s burning questions, including why he didn’t apologize to Chris during his winning speech. Will confessed, “I was clouded by the moment,” concerning the absence of an early apology. He further added, “This is all fuzzy.”

Will Smith ad later reached out to Chris to clarify the incident. However, the actor stated that Chris was still not willing to meet with him. In the five-minute video, he also apologized to Chris and others, especially Chris’ mother, Rose Rock. Aside from the YouTube film, Will has mostly been silent about the assault. He apologized to the public on Instagram some days after the Oscars event.

Amid all this mess, Will Smith’s ban from Oscars for 10 years is a sad thing, and hope the actor gets another chance as everyone makes mistakes at times.
