✖ After a few days of silence, Chris Rock finally opened up about what occurred on the stage at the 94th Oscars when Will Smith approached him and slapped him on live television.

"I don't have a bunch of sh-t about what happened," Rock told the crowd" 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 sh-t. And it will be serious and funny." Audience members began to shout out potential courses of action for Rock including suing Smith, but Rock didn't address any of this from the crowd, not what he intends to do moving forward.

Rock declined to press charges against Smith afterwards, according to the LAPD, and Smith issued an apology to Rock over Instagram. "Violence in all of its form is poisonous and destructive," Smith wrote in a social media post on Monday."My behavior at last night's Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada's medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally.

"I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris," he added."I was out of line 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." 0commentsThe Academy has announced that a decision on actions to be taken against Smith could come within the next few weeks.

Hopefully some good comes from this, and leads to SonyPictures to get rid of Jaden. Higher a real black Latino to play miles.

He said he wasn’t going to talk about it yet… There saved you the click

Chris Rock addresses Will Smith slap at first comedy show since OscarsComedian and actor Chris Rock dressed in all white kicked off his Wednesday night show after a thunderous three-minute standing ovation at his first standup show since Will Smith slapped his face at the Oscars Sunday night. Good for him! His ticket sales are through the roof. He's paying alot for his last divorce. This will definitely help his finances. The article said, 'Chris Rock rubbed his face after the Will Smith slap.' That's incorrect. Rock never touched his face, during the whole time he was on stage. Rock's stand-up audience had some class. The celebrity audience at the Oscars left Chris out in the cold. They were useless, perhaps too stoned to do anything adult like go to his aid, ask him if he was OK. That was cold.
