A COMIC who starred alongside Will Smith in an Oscar-winning movie says he wasn't surprised when the actor attacked Chris Rock, claiming to have previously been "bullied and humiliated" by Smith himself.
Paul Rodriguez, 67, claims that Smith made life a "living hell" for him on the set of the 2001 biopic Ali, telling The Sun: "Chris Rock only took one slap at the Oscars ...
but I took a verbal slap from Will Smith every day." "And sometimes I think the emotional injuries are just as deep, if not deeper, than physical ones," the Mexican-American actor added. "That movie was meant to be a huge stepping stone in my career, but for me it ended up being a nightmare because of all the sickening abuse I got from Smith.
