Why Chris Rock Isn’t ‘Concerned’ About Reconciling With Will Smith After Oscars Slap

Jada Pinkett Smith’s attempt to have Will Smith and Chris Rock reconcile following the infamous Oscar slap may not work out the way she hoped.

A source told Entertainment Tonight Rock is not interested in entertaining Pinkett Smith’s “plea” for him to work things out with her husband.

“He’s not concerned with the Smiths at the moment,” the insider said. “He’s touring and he’s preparing for a comedy special.”

The source went on to reveal that Rock, who is a genuine person and not interested in the Hollywood scene, is focusing on himself following the slap.

During the latest episode of “Red Table Talk,” Pinket Smith briefly addressed the incident and shared her wishes for the men.

“My deepest hope is that these two intelligent, capable men have an opportunity to heal, talk this out and reconcile. Until then, Will and I are continuing to do what we have done for the last 28 years — and that's [to] keep figuring out this thing called life together. Thank you for listening.”

News of Rock’s feelings toward Pinkett Smith’s comment comes after Vivica A. Fox criticized the actress for not taking accountability for her part in the infamous Oscars slap.

“Will Smith was defending her honor, that’s the reason he walked on stage and slapped — because he felt like his wife had been offended,” Fox explained during the Thursday episode of “The Wendy Williams Show.”

She added, “Also, let’s not forget, Chris Rock was assaulted. We cannot forget that for basically telling a joke that I really felt wasn’t that bad.”

Although Fox said she has “love for the Smiths,” she believes Pinkett Smith should have taken some responsibility for causing the slap.

“I just wish we could have just a little more accountability and for it to not seem so self-righteous on Jada’s part,” Fox said.

As a result of the slap, Smith resigned from the Academy and was banned from attending the Oscars for 10 years.
