Tony Rock States Will Smith Did Not Reach Out to Chris Rock After Assaulting Him: ‘That Wasn’t True’
A year later and we’re still talking about it. Interesting.
Chris Rock‘s younger brother, Tony has just revealed that Will Smith never reached out to Chris after he assaulted him at the Oscars last year and that he lied when he claimed he did so.
Rock appeared on a recent episode of BigBoyTV and rehashed what took place at last year’s Academy Awards presentation. After Smith claimed he reached out to Tony’s brother a few days after the incident, Tony stated that it never took place.
“That wasn’t true, that wasn’t true,” Rock told radio host Big Boy. “I think like, two nights later, he said, ‘I reached out to Chris, and he didn’t want to talk.’ That wasn’t true.”
In a video Smith posted to his Instagram account last year, he admitted that he and Tony were great friends, so it was disappointing that he did not hear from Smith either. But, Tony also feels that Smith doesn’t owe him anything either, but, a phone call wouldn’t have been out of the question based on their previous relationship.
It never took place.
“He doesn’t owe me anything, I just thought we were better than that,” Tony stated. “My phone number has never changed. So, I just thought I’d get a phone call one day like, ‘Ay, let’s just you and I just talk.’ It hasn’t happened, so I guess it’s not going to happen.”
Chris Rock’s last televised comedy special on Netflix, he appropriately named the show, Selective Outrage based on his dealing with Smith at last year’s Oscars. At the end of his set, the moment the whole world was waiting for since he was assaulted by the Summertime rapper took place.
After accusing Smith of having that selective outrage when he was defending his wife, he blamed it on Jada Pinkett Smith‘s alleged obsession with the late recording artist, Tupac.
“Will Smith practices Selective Outrage. Everybody who really knows, knows I had nothing to do with that s**t. I didn’t have any entanglements,” he blurted onstage that night in Baltimore where the special was filmed.
The Smiths reportedly knew about Rock’s comedy special but decided not to watch it and sources stated that “Will is embarrassed and hurt by what Chris said about him and his family in his Netflix special,” a source told Entertainment Tonight.
