The Los Angeles Police Department confirms to Variety that Chris Rock has “declined to file a police report” following an altercation with Will Smith at the 94th Academy Awards.

I don’t know much about this story and didn’t see the video, but is there any chance it was a publicity stunt?

Chris now has enough new material for his Stand Up acts to stage a real Come Back. Just keep a weather eye for Will (the phony) and his idiot wife. I wonder what their two children,
Wizzy & Dizzy think of how their dad acted in public.

The actor said, “I want to apologize to the Academy. I want to apologize to all my fellow nominees. [...]”

But did Will Smith apologize to Chris Rock?

Regards,

If it were a white person doing the smacking, the state would’ve charged with a battery case automatically unless it was a proven pro-wrestling style gimmick.

Police report? The whole thing is on tape from many angles. The police need a report to arrest a dangerous nut in L.A.?

No. Not at all. Watch it - it wasn’t a slap - it was a fist. Then he screams from his seat twice. Black on black crime.

Yes- every chance in the world that it was a stunt- there is a super slow mo that shows a 'hollywood slap' where just the fingertips basically brush the chin of the intended 'victim'-

Noone would 'punch' or even slap a person like this- with the finger angled backwards in order to prevent breaking them and hurting the other person if they were really pissed at someone and intended to hurt them-

I had the same thought when I heard about it. Not so much for the two clowns involved, but to generate some publicity for the Oscars.

Heh, you use a link titled ‘Super slow mo. This was definitely real.’ to say it’s not real?

Zero chance. Jada has a hair loss condition that Chris made a joke about in poor taste. Will saw how upset it made his wife and got angry. There was a chance it was staged until he started swearing after he sat back down followed by crying through his acceptance speech.

He’s at the pinnacle of his career, only a Jussie would have staged that.

Chris Rock was completely thrown when he started talking.

The reason he didn’t punch him is because he wasn’t trying to hurt him, just embarrass him.

Yep i know what the person who posted it said about it- but the slow mo proves it wasn’t real- their opinion doesn’t match what is seen-

It just doesn’t make sense though. Only reason would be for ratings, but I don’t think it helped. Usually the oscars don’t go out of their way to be controversial. It’s possible it was a work, but the reactions on all parts up to and after don’t make sense for it to be fake.
