Chris Rock FINALLY Speaks On Winning $40M Lawsuit Against Will Smith

By the time you’re watching this, the 2023 Oscars have come and gone.

And for many who watched it, they enjoyed seeing many great people get awards that they deserved.

Not the least was the cast and crew of Everything Everywhere All At Once. The movie swept the Oscars with their nominations, including getting Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and of course, Best Picture.

However, while many were focused on the present, many were still thinking about the past.

Specifically, the 2022 Oscars event that featured Will Smith slapping Chris Rock.

It would’ve been awkward for no one to address it…so Jimmy Kimmel did just that. We’ll break it down for you, be sure to like the video and subscribe to the channel!

Despite the highs and lows of Will Smith’s recent endeavors, including positive career developments and the infamous Oscars incident, the spotlight remains on him.

Initially, the fervor surrounding the slap on Chris Rock had diminished, until Rock’s scathing commentary in his Netflix special, “Selective Outrage,” reignited the controversy.

Rock spared no punches in criticizing both Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, dredging up past grievances and airing them in a public forum.

His remarks about the couple’s boycott of the 2016 Oscars and their alleged open marriage sparked heated debate.

While some may view Rock’s commentary as comedic fodder, others see it as a targeted attack, especially considering the personal nature of his remarks about Jada’s rumored affair.

Rock’s assertion that the slap stemmed from Will’s frustration with his relationship only added fuel to the fire.

In response, Will Smith reportedly feels embarrassed and hurt by Rock’s words, believing they crossed a line.

Despite attempts at reconciliation, the rift between them remains, with Will expressing disappointment in Netflix’s role in amplifying Rock’s message.
