Chris Rock’s mother is breaking her silence on the Will Smith Oscars slap.
In a new interview with South Carolina’s WIS 10 News, Chris’ mother, Rose Rock, a Carolina native, opens up about family life and her work as a motivational speaker, family and youth advocate and author.
The Chris and Will confrontation went down at the 2022 Oscars and set the internet on fire for weeks.
Ms. Rock told the news agency that she told someone, when Will slapped Chris, “he slapped all of us.”
“But, he really slapped me. Because when you hurt my child, you hurt me.”
Ms. Rock explains she’s never met Will, despite her other son Tony working him on the set of the TV show ‘All of Us.’
Will eventually apologized to Chris, but only after the Academy of Motion Pictures condemned him and threatened to revoke his ‘King Richard’ Best Actor award and remove him from the Academy.
