Martin Lawrence: Chris Rock Didn’t Deserve To Be Slapped By Will Smith!!
Comedian Martin Lawrence opened up about the infamous Oscar slap in a recent interview with The Art of Dialogue. Lawrence is close to both men involved in the incident.
“Well, it hurt to see that,” Lawrence said. “Because I know both of them. Both are my brothers.”
Lawrence continued, “And when it happened I text both of them after it happened just to see how they’re doing and stuff. But it was just an unfortunate situation. You know, Will wasn’t in the right place that night and Chris Rock didn’t deserve it. So it’s such an unfortunate situation,” he added. “It’s like watching your brothers fight, and you don’t want to see your brothers fight. Chris Rock didn’t deserve that at all.”
Smith apologized to Rock, who did not accept his apology. Smith was banned from the Academy for 10 years and was shunned by many of his peers for the violent assault.
