Despite the recent controversies that surrounded Hollywood icon Will Smith during the course of the last year, there was a time when the star was talked about in regard to being the most well-known and talented star in the industry. From his unmatched and clean rapping talent to his talent in front of the camera, there was hardly anyone better than him who was a master in his crafts.

But one of Hollywood’s biggest controversies originating from the night of the 94th Academy Awards due to his actions has hidden those accolades behind a dark curtain of spite from the public. Despite all of this, Chris Rock, the victim of Smith’s actions recently revealed that there was a time when he was concerned about the star, especially when his wife cheated on him.
Will Smith Never Listened To Chris Rock’s Concerns
The most popular and controversial incident from the night of the 94th Academy Awards was not something related to the awards or the winners, but it was related to the incident whenWill Smithdecided to physically assaultChris Rock, who was the host for the night. The slap was initiated by theBad Boysstar due to Rock making a joke at his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s expense, something that she didn’t appreciate. But recently, Rock came on stage to open up about his side of this experience with something more along with it.
During his latest live event as a Netflix special titledSelective Outrage,Rock got up on stage and continued the show with his classic sense of humor. Then, he also went on to open up about how he felt when the controversial incident took place, also revealing the fact that he had always respected the star, so much that when Pinkett Smith had an affair, he was one of the first people to contact Smith, which was left unanswered by theHancockstar. He then went on to share his piece of mind with everyone who was present in the audience. During the show, Rock said:

“Will Smith practices selective outrage. Because what the fuck happened, everybody that really knows I had nothing to do with that shit. I didn’t have any ‘entanglements.’ I did not have any entanglements. For everybody who doesn’t know, his wife was fucking her son’s friend. I normally wouldn’t not talk about this shit. But for some reason these [racial slur], put that shit on the Internet. I have no idea why two talented people would do something that lowdown. We’ve all been cheated on, everybody in here has been cheated on. None of us has ever been interviewed by the person who cheated on us on television… Why the fuck would you do that shit? She hurt him way more than he hurt me. OK? Everybody in the world called him a btch. I tried to call that man and give him my condolences, he didn’t pick up for me. … Everybody called him a btch, and who did he hit? Me – a [slur] he knows he could beat. That is some b*tch-ass shit!”
Thus, after almost a year since the incident took place, Chris Rock finally settled his side of the controversy with his honest opinions.

How Will Smith Right His Wrongs
After the controversial incident took place, the star instantly regretted his decision, and at the end of the night, he received an Oscar Award for Best Actor forKing Richard.When he accepted the award though, he was overcome with guilt and asked for forgiveness from Chris Rock and everyone present that night at the venue, while resigning himself from the Academy to try to right his wrongs and truly being apologetic to everyone.
