Tony Rock, brother of comedian Chris Rock, discredits claims that Will Smith reached out to Chris after the infamous Oscars slap incident. Tony reveals that despite past friendly relations with Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith, communication ceased following the altercation. Contrary to Will Smith’s public statements, Tony asserted that Chris and Smith never spoke post-incident. Reflecting on the chaotic moments after the slap, Tony mentions he was initially unaware, learning about it from Chris's assistant before speaking directly with his brother. He condemned Smith's actions and emphasized the lack of a "protocol" in handling such unprecedented situations. Tony also praised Chris's Netflix special, "Selective Outrage," where Chris addresses the incident, calling Jada out. Describing Chris's strategic move of waiting to speak on the matter publicly in his own time, Tony underscored the significance of Chris's powerful response.
