After the WillSmithSlap, Chris Rock apologized to Oscars co-host Wanda Sykes 👀 'I was like, ‘Why are you apologizing?’ He was like, ‘It was supposed to be your night... I’m so sorry this is now gonna be about this.' Because that’s who Chris is.'
Oscars co-host Wanda Sykes says Chris Rock apologized to her following Sunday's ceremony that saw Will Smith slap him across the face. Rock and Sykes have a long history reaching back to The Chris Rock Show, where Sykes won an Emmy for her work as a writer. The two would also work on other projects, like the films Down to Earth and Pootie Tang, with the comedians still being friends all these years later.
The 94th Academy Awards took place on Sunday with three hosts: Regina Hall, Amy Schumer, and Sykes. With the ceremony well underway, Rock took to the stage to present the award for Best Documentary when he made a joke about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. Moments later, Smith was on stage, making his way toward Rock, only to deliver a violent slap across Rock's face.
I hope he doesn’t mind me saying this, but I saw Chris at [Guy Oseary’s after party] and as soon as I walked up to him, the first thing he said is, ‘I’m so sorry.’ I was like, ‘Why are you apologizing?’ He was like, ‘It was supposed to be your night. You and Amy and Regina were doing such a great job. I’m so sorry this is now gonna be about this.' Because that’s who Chris is.
Rock chose not to file a police report following the slap, and Smith has since apologized to him, yet many are still affected by the incident. Sykes' co-host Schumer called the Smith Oscars slap traumatizing, and other celebrities such as Jim Carrey and Zoë Kravitz have spoken out against Smith's actions.
Smith may also be facing repercussions for the Oscars slap from the Academy's Board of Governors, who recently released a statement about Sunday night's proceedings. In the statement, it was said that Smith may face "suspension, expulsion or other sanctions permitted," before also adding that the actor was asked to leave following the incident, which he refused to do.
