EXCLUSIVE: Insiders reveal what you didn't see after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars
Smith’s mentor Denzel Washington was first to offer words of wisdom to the actor as Rock looked on.After the slap, LAPD officers asked Rock if he wanted to press charges against Smith. “Chris said no and left soon after. He was stunned and shook,” said the source.
“He was wiping his eyes of tears, he knew it was not good,” said Hollywood Reporter awards columnist Scott Feinberg on Matt Belloni’s podcast, “The Town,” about Smith in the aftermath. Music magnate Diddy attempted to smooth things over on stage as he appeared to introduce a 50th anniversary tribute to “The Godfather.”
A-listers — including Jason Bateman, Taika Waititi, J.J. Abrams, Ron Howard, Sienna Miller and Sarah Paulson — watched in shock as the slap played out.“How and if they resolved it is up to them — to him, his intention was to bring love to them and say a few words of encouragement and be a part of that.”
