Chris Rock’s younger brother, Kenny Rock, has some choice words for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences for its response to the Will Smith slap – and he’s not happy.
He claims that Will Smith humiliated his brother on national television and that the A-List actor should be stripped of his Oscar. He said:
“It eats at me watching it over and over again because you’ve seen a loved one being attacked and there’s nothing you can do about it,” he said. “Every time I’m watching the videos, it’s like a rendition that just keeps going over and over in my head. He was not a threat to my brother and you had no respect for him at that time. You just belittled him in front of millions of people that watch the show.”

He also said that Chris Rock didn’t know Jada had Alopecia. “The joke was funny,” he said. “It wasn’t hilarious funny, but I know that if he knew that she had alopecia … he wouldn’t make a joke about that. But he didn’t know.”
Chris Rock was slapped by Will Smith, but Will Smith won the highly anticipated award for Best Actor. This award was for his starring role in King Richard and gave an emotional acceptance speech. He was also given a standing ovation by the audience.
Smith has since publicly apologized via social media to Chris Rock and resigned from Academy as a result.
