RELATED VIDEO: Chris Rock Said He Let People "Walk All Over" Him 2 Months Before Will Smith Smacked Him at Oscars Rock's weekend with Bell comes just over three months after he was slapped onstage at the 2022 Academy Awards by Will Smith, over a joke Rock made about Smith's wife Jada Pinkett Smith. Smith, 53, walked onstage and smacked Rock in the face, leaving the audience and live viewers stunned. "Oh wow," said Rock as Smith made his way back to his seat. "Will Smith just smacked the s— out of me." Will has since apologized to Rock in a statement resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Meanwhile, Rock is slated to join Dave Chappelle later this year for a joint comedy show. The two will join forces for a show at London's The O2 arena on Sept. 3.
