Chris Rock won’t speak unless he gets paid. So the news went to talk to his mother. Rose Rock is the latest to speak out out after Will Smith went off script, and slapped her son at the 94th Academy Awards.
via People:
On Friday, Rose Rock sat down for an interview with local South Carolina news station WIS-TV and discussed the moment when Smith walked onstage at the Oscars and struck Chris, 57, in response to a joke the comedian made about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head. (Pinkett Smith, 50, has been open about living with alopecia.)
“You reacted to your wife giving you the side-eye, and you went and made her day because she was mulled over laughing when it happened,” Rose told WIS’ Billie Jean Shaw.
Rose shared that she initially thought the incident was staged while watching it unfolded during the broadcast from her home but realized it was real when Smith, 53 started using “obscenities.”
“When he slapped Chris, he slapped all of us. He really slapped me,” she said. “Because when you hurt my child, you hurt me.”
“No one heard his speech. No one was able to just be in the moment because everyone was sitting there like, ‘What just happened?’ ” she continued, sharing that her son was “happy” to present the award to Questlove during the ceremony.
