Chris Rock joked that he finally got his hearing back after Will Smith slapped him at the Oscars.
“I’m OK, I have a whole show and I’m not talking about that until I get paid. Life is good. I got my hearing back,” Rock said at a recent show according to Deadline.
After the slap, he addressed the slap at a separate show:
“How was your weekend?. I don’t have a bunch of sh*t about what happened, so if you came to hear that, I have a whole show I wrote before this weekend. I’m still kind of processing what happened. So, at some point I’ll talk about that sh*t. And it will be serious and funny.”
Will Smith has been banned from the Academy for a decade.
“The 94th Oscars were meant to be a celebration of the many individuals in our community who did incredible work this past year; however, those moments were overshadowed by the unacceptable and harmful behavior we saw Mr. Smith exhibit on stage,” the letter reads.
