Chris Rock's infamous Oscars encounter with Will Smith is still being talked about
Tuesday night’s comedy show was the first time Chris Rock has mentioned Will Smith since their infamous slapping incident at the Oscars back in March.
During the coveted event, Smith walked onstage and slapped Rock across the face after the comedian made a joke about the actor’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
The incident sparked major controversy and widespread condemnation of Smith’s behavior. Smith eventually resigned from the Academy and has been put on a 10-year ban from the event.
