Chris Rock has decided not to press charges against Will Smith after he slapped him at the Oscars
Smith slapped Rock at Sunday night’s ceremony after the comedian made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head while he was presented the Academy Award for best documentary.
Rock said “Jada I love you, ‘G.I. Jane 2,’ can’t wait to see it,” the camera then moved to Pinkett-Smith, who rolled her eyes. The actress has been open about her struggle with alopecia, an autoimmune disorder that leads to hair loss. Then Smith walks on stage and slaps Rock on stage, before telling him to “leave my wife’s name out of your f**king mouth.”
The LAPD confirmed on Monday to CNN, that Rock declined to file a police report. “LAPD investigative entities are aware of an incident between two individuals during the Academy Awards program,” the department told CNN in a statement. “The incident involved one individual slapping another. The individual involved has declined to file a police report. If the involved party desires a police report at a later date, LAPD will be available to complete an investigative report.”
