“Has anyone heard from Chris rock. Wonder if there is a law suit coming. Likely talking to his camp. Will smith is worth 350 million. Poor Chris rock only worth a small 60 million.”
Rock’s tour has sold out overnight and tickets went from $60 bucks to $700 bucks, so would be hard to sue for damages ...
Rock doesn’t get a piece of the profit from scalpers.
And it will be fairly easy to calculate damages...it’s just a matter of how much at this point. Look at how people who did not get slapped are traumatized by the events.
He has several years to sue. he will have to wait to see what physical and mental damages accrue as well as career damages. A sold out tour right after an event doesn’t mean he won’t get blackballed depending on what happens.
I wonder what Chris Rock COULD sue for?
He could claim it was a staged event and that Will Smith had agreed to pay him oh, say $20Mil for bein’ able to slap him on live TV and didn’t pay it. The slap was evidence of the existing contract, so Will’s gotta pay up?
He could claim it was simply an act of violence which damages the community of black folks who are desperately trying to find ways of exiting this culture that upholds stupidshiite violence. He could make some headway with that one. Maybe.
He could challenge Will Smith to a cage match, the winner to get a check for his favorite charity from the luzer. In Smith’s case he would get a check for the apoplexia Foundation, or whatever-the-hell disease his wife has. In Rock’s case he could get a check for some Foundation-against-violence-that-black-people-engage-in or whatevs.
Good point… I heard that. I am sure he will make jokes about it.
