Chris Rock Declines to File Police Report After Will Smith Oscars Slap, LAPD Says
Chris Rock has declined to file a police report after Will Smith slapped him during the 2022 Oscars ceremony, according to a LAPD statement to ET. Smith slapped Rock after the comedian made a joke about the star's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.Rock, who has made a joke about Pinkett Smith before at the 2016 Oscars, took another jab at her on Sunday night when he said, «Jada, I love ya., can't wait to see it.» (Pinkett Smith has been open about her struggles with alopecia, an autoimmune disorder which causes bald spots and hair loss.) Moments later, Smith walked onto the stage and gave Rock an open-handed slap to his cheek.
