respective times they got attacked on stage this year. They dropped their assault-based sets during the Liverpool, UK leg of their current European standup tour, Deadline reported.“Did that s–t hurt?” Rock, 57, who went first, asked the audience regarding getting slapped by Will Smith at this year’s Oscars.
“Goddam right… the motherf—ker hit me over a bulls–t joke, the nicest joke I ever told.”The Grammy-winning comedian was referring to the now-infamous incident at the 2022 Academy Awards in March, when Smith, who won win Best Actor for “King Richard” later that evening, smacked Rock for making a bald wisecrack about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, who suffers from alopecia. In light of the incident, Rock says he declined to host the 2023 Oscars.
‘Will did the impression of a perfect person for 30 years, and he ripped his mask off and showed us.’Fortunately, it appears that the comic didn’t let the attack derail his career too badly: During the recent set, Rock claimed that he returned to work the day after getting Hitch-slapped. And, despite getting assaulted, the “Grownups” star insisted that he’s no victim, declaring that unfortunately in the US, people achieve success through infamy, excellence or by claiming victim status.
The comic then handed the mic off to Chappelle, 49, who started riffing about his own on-stage assault in Los Angeles in May, calling it some “scary s—t.”The “Chappelle’s Show” creator also joked that Rock had one-upped him that night by strolling on stage and quipping: “Was that Will Smith?” with regards to his attacker, who ironically said he was inspired by the Hitch-slap. Chappelle then turned his attention to the Rock attack.
