He returning to host the show would be like returning to the crime scene.
Rock revealed this during a standup show over the weekend in Phoenix, Arizona, United States.
According to Guardian UK, during the show, Rock reportedly compared accepting the hosting gig to returning to the scene of a crime, referencing the murder of OJ Simpson’s late wife, saying that accepting the offer would be like asking Nicole Brown Simpson “to go back to the restaurant.”
Actor Will Smith in March slapped Chris Rock after he made a joke of his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith’s bald head. Smith has been banned for a decade from the Oscars over the incident.

Chris needs to stop riding on this issue and move the f on.Will has apologized publicly and privately and lost a chunk of his fame/popularity to the issue already.You declined to press charges and refuse to talk about it with Will but will not hesitate to garner more sympathy with it.There are more pressing issues in this country from Trump to republican extremism etx
ReplyDeleteNa you dem slap?? Person wey them slap say he no want to host show, as he hasn’t forgotten. Why are you pressed about it? Did he disturb you with the issue sef
DeleteLet him heal as he wants, he's not u and u are not him, if you will like to go back to the crime scene after being bitch slapped in front of the world and your children that see u as their superman, making u feel less of a man u can go ahead, but he won't so let him do him.
DeleteAnon. 18:19
DeleteMaybe nah the Anon. dem slap oh ! 🤣🤣🤣
Honestly, very petty ass man. And how does his slap compare to Nicole's murder?
DeleteEven if na me, I will turn it down too. I cannot come and be chopping hot slap.
ReplyDelete😂😂😂
ReplyDeleteOnce slapped,twice shy..
Will Smith, you do this one ehh🤌
OK
ReplyDeleteThis Chris rock and using pple's private matters in his jokes sha, guess it's his style. I hope the dead woman's family will not come out and start their own. Trevor Noah remains my fav. comedian
That's what comedians do. They help to make light, heavy matters. Life is too short to be all grumpy.
DeleteWhich crime scene? Is this not his ego speaking? He did wrong by making a joke out of her baldness and I agree that Will Smith took it a tad too far by going physical but he's apologized and has been punished for it. Did anybody die? I guess his ego was bruised so bad and he doesn't want to be reminded.
ReplyDeleteCrime scene loun loun...
Will smith laughed at that joke what are you talking about?
DeleteThat he laughed doesn't mean he found it funny. Haven't you had or witnessed a situation that was clearly embarrassing but you used a laugh to ease the embarrassment or tension?
DeleteYou are on point Twins Squared. They both went too far - both the joker and the slapper.
DeleteComedians need to understand that it's not everything they can joke about. Their audience too should stop encouraging them when they make silly and insulting jokes on other people.
You weren't the slappee, so you aren't in his shoes........... The slapper knows what he did........
Delete@Anon 19:43, exactly. Old video clip exists showing Will Smith making fun of someone’s bald head. All jokes. Now his turn and it’s an anathema? Please.
DeleteAlso Chris Rock said this in the context of a stand-up gig. He has the right to draw from ANY material in his life to create jokes, let alone something that happened to him.
Don’t worry, Will Smith will never live down this tomfoolery 😕.
Mystic
🤣🤣🤣🤣
ReplyDeleteOnce bitten twice slap
ReplyDeleteKwarrect! 😁
DeleteHe no Wan collect another one.
ReplyDeleteThey can't guarantee him not receiving another wotowoto in front of the whole wide world.
DeleteThe environment still haunt him thus accepting the offer will rejuvenate what he has forgotten.. Accepting the offer will equally appear like standing on a precarious ladder. His plight is quite understandable, but this offer is yummy... truth be told this would have been a mouth-watering offer and he will just be smiling to bank with portmanteau.
ReplyDelete*I love infinix *
He can never forget that slap, forever be in his memory. I don't blame him.
ReplyDeleteI won't too. It's like going back to an abusive partner after months of separation.
ReplyDelete😂 trying to avoid another drama
ReplyDeleteI see reasons with him.
ReplyDeleteHe was physically assaulted on national TV, and the Academy somewhat looked past Wills transgressions and gave him an Oscar award, instead of having the security escort him out immediately, what message are they passing?
🤣🤣..he cant forget the slap
ReplyDeleteWell... Can't say I blame him
ReplyDeleteJust right in front of thousands of people watching you then someone comes and give hot slap, I don't think he can ever forget oo.
ReplyDeleteHis die hard fans and followers may interprete this as to go after the Smiths and kids.
