The slapping incident where Will Smith walked onto the stage of an Oscars event and slapped Chris Rock is not about to end. In the latest interview with Sky News, Chris Rock slammed the apology and accused the actor of playing the victim card while he was the aggressor.
The highly publicized incident occurred after Will Smith felt offended by a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett’s alopecia condition. The intolerance to humor led to widespread condemnation from Oscar’s academy and comedians such as The View’s Joy Behar, who termed the assault as a “Comedians are in danger these days…” In the hip-hop scene, Benzino compared the incident to the events leading up to Tu Pac’s murder, saying it could have turned ugly.
The comedian reacted to a lengthy apology from the Hollywood actor and retired rapper of hits such as ‘Switch’ 2009 as playing the victim.
“If everybody claims to be a victim, then nobody will hear the real victims. Even me getting smacked by Suge Smith … I went to work the next day, I got kids.”
“Anyone who says words hurt has never been punched in the face.” replied the 57-year-old.
Chris Rock likened the slapping incident to the assault case against Suge Knight by nicknaming Smith’ Suge’.
The Death Row Records executive is incarcerated over the assault. According to Smith, Rock has refused to accept his apology, which is “unacceptable” to him.
It’s unclear whether Chris Rock will sue Will Smith, but the steaming anger from both men is only getting worse. If nothing is done about this, the tiff could escalate to toxic levels, such as the Diddy and Mase rivalry involving Diddy’s mother.
