Video: Chris Rock Addresses Getting Slapped In The Face For The First Time During Stand Up Special At The Wilbur
Source - Chris Rock kicked off his comedy tour in Boston to thunderous applause, but he said he's still processing what went down at the Oscars so he'll talk about the slap later, but he did tease the crowd.
Chris played to a hyper-enthusiastic, sold-out crowd at the Wilbur Theater in Boston, and joked, "How was your weekend?" The crowd loved it.
He then said, "I don't have a bunch of s*** about what happened, so if you came to hear that, I have a whole show I wrote before this weekend. I'm still kind of processing what happened," adding, "So, at some point, I'll talk about that s***. And it will be serious and funny."
The Video:
And that's that. I think we all get the gist, right? Chris Rock is over it. I mean what else can he say? He got slapped- end of story. I'm sure in time he'll be able to joke about it, but for now he's moving on with his life. He also wrote an entire stand up special that he doesn't want to go to waste which I completely understand. That said, I would've loved for him to go after Will. Imagine how great that would've been? Him just ripping apart every aspect of his life? There's no shortage of material...
Oh well. All he's gotta do now is sit back and watch the money roll in. Because even if he doesn't sue, even if he doesn't talk about "the slap" during any of his specials, people are buy tickets just incase he does. I mean look at the amount of press outside of the Wilbur...
Scalpers were allegedly selling tickets for $8000 a piece too. He won't see any of that money but still, it just goes to show how great that slap was for his career. Anyway, it'll be interesting to see how long it takes for Will Smith to turn himself into the victim in this situation. I'd say less than a month. He'll say he's "working on himself", put himself into some sort of rehab, then come out with a new movie. Hollywood will praise him and that'll be that. It's unfortunate but true. I'm not sure what else to say in this blog so I'm going to end it with a compilation of Chris Rock's best roasts. Thanks for reading. Enjoy…
