Chris Rock finally addresses Will Smith slapping him
Chris Rock made history, last night, with the first-ever Netflix live special. After the Will Smith incident, Chris Rock said he would speak on it when the money was right. Apparently, Netflix made sure Rock got paid what he was looking for. Last night, Chris Rock completely broke his silence on Will Smith’s slap. He made it clear that the slap definitely did hurt. However, where he’s from, he’s used to being hurt.
Chris Rock is actually one of the most unlikely people to have become as big of a star as he is. His career dates back to the early 1990s. Rock’s first major role was ‘Pookie’ on New Jack City. Ironically, Chris Rock’s television debut came five years later, on “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” Rock’s guest starring character shared many scenes with Will Smith.
Chris Rock enjoyed a friendship with Will Smith that spanned decades. Clearly, this friendship ended when Will Smith slapped him at the Academy Awards. Ever since, Will Smith has spoken on it, and offered apologies. Meanwhile, Chris Rock has hurled insults. Last night, Rock explained how badly the slap hurt, physically. He described how much bigger Will is than he is, how the slap still hurts, and how he hears “Summertime,” when he thinks hard enough about it.
