Chris Rock's mother says Will Smith's slap is not just for her son, but for everyone
Chris Rock's mother breaks silence after Will Smith slapped her son at the Oscars.
Speaking with WIS-TV, a local South Carolina news station, Rose Rock shared on Friday that she was deeply hurt by the controversy.
Rose mocked Smith, who is currently on a trip to India, "You reacted to your wife giving you the side-eye, and you went and made her day because she laughed when it happened."
"When he slapped Chris, he slapped us all. He really slapped me," she said. "Because when you hurt my baby, you hurt me."
Moments later, Smith won the Best Actor award for his film King Richard.
"No one heard his speech. Nobody was able to just in the moment because everyone was sitting there, 'What just happened?' " He continued.
Will Smith lost his cool when Chris Rock joked about wife Jada Pinkett Smith's bald condition. The actor took to the stage to slap the comedian's face for making fun of his wife's insecurities.
