Chris Rock addressed Will Smith’s apology video while on tour… Via HuffPost:
“everybody is trying to be a fing victim.”
“If everybody claims to be a victim, then nobody will hear the real victims. Even me getting smacked by Suge Smith,” he told the crowd, referencing Marion “Suge” Knight, the Death Row Records co-founder who is currently serving a 28-year sentence for killing a man. “I went to work the next day, I got kids.”
“Anyone who says words hurt has never been punched in the face,”
Smith, however, has been more forthcoming. In his recent video, the actor answered a variety of questions about the infamous moment, including about whether he’s reached out to Rock, who he said is “not ready to talk.” https://t.co/T3NIABVaYw pic.twitter.com/UYp6XOUEEf
