Chris Rock has broken his silence following an altercation with Will Smith at the Oscars, which involved Will slapping Chris over a joke he made about Jada Pinkett Smith starring in G.I. Jane 2—despite Jada being open about her struggles with alopecia.
Speaking in a stand-up special in Boston on March 30 (in audio acquired by Variety), Chris addressed the incident but said he would be saving most of his comments for a future appearance that didn’t have previously planned material.
“How was your weekend?” Chris joked at the beginning of his set, adding, “I don’t have a bunch of shit about what happened, so if you came to hear that, I have a whole show I wrote before this weekend. I’m still kind of processing what happened. So at some point, I’ll talk about that shit. And it will be serious and funny.” He then said, “I’m going to tell some jokes. It’s nice to just be out.”
