Despite Diddy’s claim Will Smith and Chris Rock are already on amicable terms following the slap heard around the world, a source close to the famed comedian says that’s not the case. According to TMZ, the two haven’t spoken since the incident and Rock was left “shaken and bewildered” following the bizarre interruption at the 94th Academy Awards on Sunday night (March 27).
The source said Rock immediately went to his dressing room and had “no intention” of staying. He quickly left the Dolby Theatre and eventually surfaced at Guy Oseary’s Oscars After Party where he attempted to have a little fun before the night ended.
Smith smacked Rock after he made a G.I. Jane joke about his wife Jada Pinkett’s hair. But unbeknownst to him, Pinkett suffers from alopecia, an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss. The source confirmed Rock had no idea she has the condition and added he “doesn’t have a mean bone in his body.”
