Will Smith also slapped me, Chris Rock’s mom reacts

Chris Rock’s mother has reacted to the slap her son received from Will Smith at the 2022 Academy Awards, condemning the actor’s actions.

In an interview with WIS of Columbia on Friday, Rose Rock said the slap didn’t hurt only her son.

“When he slapped Chris, he slapped all of us,” she said, telling the station, “He really slapped me.”

“You reacted to your wife giving you the side-eye and you went and made her day because she was mulled over laughing when it happened,” Rose Rock said of the moment.

Recall that Smith walked onto the stage at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles and slapped Rock, who was there to present the award for best documentary.

Rock had made a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, who has a shaved head and has spoken publicly about her hair loss.

After hitting Rock, Smith returned to his seat and yelled profanities at the comedian in an altercation that was censored from the US broadcast of the awards show.
