Tony Rock shared his perspective on the infamous moment when Will Smith slapped his brother, Chris Rock, during the 2022 Oscars. The incident, which revolved around a joke Chris made about Jada Pinkett-Smith, caught everyone by surprise, including Tony. Tony dismissed any prior tension between Chris and Will, mentioning that he had never sensed any animosity. He emphasized that he would have known if there were any issues, given his close relationship with Chris and his own professional interactions with Will. Tony also revealed that he didn't watch the Oscars and was informed about the slap through frantic phone calls from family members, which initially made him fear for his mother's well-being. Clarifying the incident, Tony acknowledged that Will initially laughed at the joke but then reacted radically, resulting in the slap. He pointed out that despite their separation, Will referred to Jada as his wife during the altercation, which was surprising. Tony's recount highlights the unexpected nature and emotional ripple effects of that moment.
