In the days following the 2022 Academy Awards, it seems like everyone and their brother has something to say about what transpired that night. I personally don't think it's our place to judge and speculate and dissect — but that's just me.
Now, three days after the event, Chris Rock broke his silence about the Will Smith slap at his comedy show in Boston Wednesday night.
On Monday night, Will shared an emotional message on his social media apologizing to both Chris and the Academy.
"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 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."
"I would like to apologize to the Williams Family and my King Richard Family. I deeply regret that my behavior has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us."
"This is a season for healing and I'm here for it," the quote read.
In case you missed the memo, Chris Rock's comedy tour ticket sales have skyrocketed since Sunday night.
The 57-year old then explained to fans that he had written the "show before all this nonsense happened," but promised to properly address the incident soon.
"And it'll be serious and it'll be funny, but right now I'm going to tell some jokes."
"I haven't talked to anyone, despite what you heard," Chris explained.
"As soon as he got on stage, we immediately broke into a standing ovation," he explained.
I think I speak for all of us when I say I'm curious to know what else the comedian will say in regards to the event!
