Despite what he’s been through, Chris Rock isn’t tolerating any Will Smith shade. During the second night of his Boston stop on his Ego Death World Tour, the legendary comedian shut down a heckling fan who began calling out “fuck Will Smith.”
“No, no, no, no,” Rock reportedly said while walking across the stage at Boston’s Wilbur Theater on Thursday (March 30). The New York Post spoke to a few attendees at the show, who said Rock didn’t seem too keen on speaking on the subject. The outlet reported that the hecklers were relentless in bringing up Smith, with two people eventually having to be escorted out for being too drunk and rambunctious. Rock reportedly never took the bait.
The comedian had previously spoken on the Oscars incident – which involved Will Smith storming on stage and slapping Rock across the face for making a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith – during his Wednesday (March 29) show in Boston. He admitted he hadn’t quite processed it yet.
“How was your weekend?” he asked the crowd after walking on stage, as reported by Variety. “I don’t have a bunch of shit about what happened, so if you came to hear that, I have a whole show I wrote before this weekend. 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.”
The viral slap occurred after Rock had seemingly joked about Jada Pinkett Smith’s alopecia, which she’s been open about struggling with. Rock referred to her as “G.I. Jane,” teasing her bald head at the Sunday awards, which upset the King Richard star who following the slap demanded Rock keep “his wife’s name” out of his “fucking mouth.”
Smith has received both condemnation and applause for the act. Wanda Sykes, Zoë Kravitz, Jim Carrey and a slew of other celebs have criticized the former Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star for his behavior, while Nicki Minaj, Massachusetts Democrat Ayanna Pressley and others have championed him for defending his wife. Will Smith’s mother admitted she was “surprised” by her son’s act.
“He is a very even people person and that’s the first time I’ve ever seen him go off,” she said in an interview with ABC6. “The first time in his lifetime. It did [surprise me]. It did. I’ve never seen him do that.”
Revisit the slap below.
The only way for rock to get his balls back is to destroy Will simping for jada after initially laughing at the joke, having a weak slap game and stroke game which led to an entanglement, and having a weird ass Hollywood family. Otherwise it’s over for you.
Strictly speaking about his status in “the culture”
He already got ’em back by showing restraint.
Exactly! Because at the end of the day Will Smith had the most to lose. I look at Chris Rock as the bigger person because he knew where he was and apparently Will Smith forgot. That was a bitch move he did for a woman that would not throw but shove his ass under the bus.
Why does he need to stoop down lower to some petty retaliation. This comment is from someone with lower level thinking…
Like I said this is within the realm of the culture. If you don’t understand then maybe you are far too “intellectual”..
i’m moving in with your aunty and your going bel air.
It’s a damn shame the world can react about this non sense and not against the 2000+health affects caused from the you know what…
Chris Rock is over. Next
what’s funny is people forgetting that Chris Rock is C List compared to Will Smith. Will Smith never had to get onstage and dis people’s wives for a check he was one of the most popular emcees in the world three years before he had a hit TV show. If there’s anyone you don’t want targeting you on a dis record it’s Will Smith. That’s like a nightmare because everyone would hear it and it would never stop playing. Chris Rock need to apologize and humble himself before the real campaign begins.
Yeah, Will Smith is so great with his violent outbursts and a wife that cheats on him left and right and makes him look like a fool all the time.
Really Will Smith is A list or something? LOL. Chris Rock is a comedian and obviously you have no idea what comedians do. Let me fill you in, comedians will at some point make fun of other people. Read the story of Triboulet and what happened to him as a result of making jokes. See, comedians push the envelope and sometimes will hurt peoples little feelings. I’m sure since you are an expert of “A” list celebrities and the history of comedian acts, you probably already know all of this. So get your limo ready the red carpet is waiting on you!
will smith is the fresh prince. so what’s your point. Chris Rock is a failed Will Smith. He failed 35 years ago and he got put in his place at the oscars. cut and print
You are fucking diluted. Chris Rock is a comic legend. Will Smith is an arrogant entitled prick and Jada’s bitch boy. She is a cheating bitch and a D list actress. He slapped Chris because he was afraid of what she would do to him. That asshole should have been arrested and LAPD was there to do so but it was Chris Rock who said NO. Rock is the only one with class in this situation. Have a good day.
yeah it was real funny watching Chris Rock get bitch slapped at the Oscars by fresh prince. Legendary sht right there. so I guess you kinda right?
What you all witnessed was a trauma response from when Will watched his mother get slapped across the face by Will’s Dad when he was 11; as he stated in his book. “I regret never stepping up and defending her”. Once he saw Jada’s response, he was t there’d, back to his 11-year-old self a to Chris’ comment, he “stood up” for her as if he was his his 11yo version avenging his Mom. Was that the correct or justified moment to re-create a trauma response? No! Violence doesn’t equivocate more violence but it does beget it. He needs trauma therapy and that was NOT an appropriate or affective response. It only hurt Will and did nothing to avenge his Mom.
So I’m sure it was all black folks chanting f will smith at a chris rock show in boston because black folks hate will smith now.
lol
What make me laugh is Smith was laughing at the joke untill her looked at his wife and backtracked. He then started kicking off, got up on stage and slapped him. He could of defended his wife and not left his seat. Oscars won’t be having him back and chances are people won’t work with him again. He’s happy to through out the jokes but rock isn’t. It’s a joke and GI Jane is one of the strongest females of our time. She’s got alopecia not cancer, she wanted to come out bald and not wear a wig so the joke was made. Nobody is going to work with either of them again and chances are security will be high on the next one. Rock should she him and just have done. The whole of the Oscars is about this slap than the people getting the rewards for their hard work.
That’s the exact right reaction. He saw how it hurt his wife so he regulated. He realized they only made fun of her because he was up for an award. The emotion swelled up at that moment and he slapped Chris Rock upside the head. a very human moment
violence is violence
Sadly, Will Smith showed who he really is:
Ugly and incredibly selfish! I liked the guy before this. His ego is insanely out of control. And what a coward, going after a guy half his size. Now what, every idiot that disagrees with a speaker going to charge the stage? What happened to asking the guy to step outside? Once outside, tell him exactly what you think of him and if he starts something you finish it.
