Chris Rock addresses Will Smith slap during his first stand-up show since the Oscars
"I'm still kind of processing what happened"

Chris Rock has broken his silence on that Oscars moment in his first stand-up set since the awards ceremony. The comedian performed a stand-up set at the Wilbur Theater in Boston on Wednesday night and finally addressed Will Smith slapping him on s🥀tage at the 94th Academy Awards.
"I don’t have a bunch of shit about what happened, so if you came to hear that, I have a whoౠle show I wrote before this weekend," Rock said at the start of the show (via ). "I'm still kind of processing what happened. So, at some point I’ll talk about that shit. And it will be serious and funny."
Rock, who was presenting at the Oscars, made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's hair, comparing her look to G.I. Jane. She has alopecia, a hair loss condition, and Will Smith responded by stepping on stage and hitting Rock, then yelling, "Keep my wife’s name out your fucking m🎀outh."
added that Rock also told the audience in Boston: "I haven't talked to anyone, despite what you heard." The comment seemed to be a rebuke of fellow Oscar presenter澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询: P. Diddy, ꦜwho said afte𒊎r the ceremony that Rock and Smith ha𝐆d put aside their differences.
Will Smith 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:has since apologized for the incident. "I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris," reads a statement posted to Smith's social media account. "I was out of li🦂ne and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want 🔜to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness."
In the post, Smith calls violence, in all of its forms, "poisonou𒁏s and destructive", and describes his behavior at the Oscars are "unacceptable and inexcusable".
Meanwhile, the Academy has claimed that it 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:asked Smith to leav🌳e during the ceremony, yet the actor apparently refused.
