After almost a year of the slap controversy, well-known comedian Chris Rock and Hollywood actor Will Smith are once more making headlines. For those who don’t remember, Rock made a joke about Smith’s wife on stage during the Oscars last year, and Smith responded by slapping Rock. Fans and numerous celebrities criticized Smith’s response harshly. Smith’s conduct at the Oscars particularly infuriated the community of stand-up comedians. As a result, despite his apology for his actions, Smith continued to be the subject of hate and social media memes. Meanwhile, the majority of people commended the stand-up comedian for maintaining his composure throughout the ordeal.
However, many people might be irked by Rock’s recent comments regarding the incident. But a former UFC welterweight star Jake Shields doesn’t fall under this bracket. Instead, he lauded the comedian on social media.
