We did it. We explained about five months worth of endless drama in 10 neat bullet points. Let's all move on. But wait a second... Chris Rock is talking about it. Come back. Let's unpack this.
According to TMZ, Rock was performing a show with Dave Chappelle in Liverpool on Friday night (4 September), when he finally directly addressed the specific 'GI Jane' joke in question.
"Did that shit hurt?" Rock said, referring to his altercation with Smith. "Goddamn right… the motherfucker hit me over a bullshit joke, the nicest joke I ever told!"
Offering his own two cents on the matter, Newsweek notes that Chappelle referred to Smith's upbringing, wondering if that played a role on Oscar night.
"A lot of people forget who Will Smith is," Chappelle said. "Then 10 minutes before he was about to get the biggest award, he acted like he was back in Philadelphia.
"Will did the impression of a perfect person for 30 years, and he ripped his mask off and showed us he was as ugly as the rest of us," Chappelle continued.
"Whatever the consequences are... I hope he doesn't put his mask back on again, and lets his real face breathe."
