Rock took to the stage at London’s O2 Arena last Saturday with fellow comedian Dave Chappelle as part of their European stand-up tour.
According to a report from entertainment portal Deadline, Rock referred to Smith’s portrayal of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali in the 2001 movie Ali and said: “Yes, that s*** hurt. He played Ali. I can’t even play Floyd Mayweather.”This was after Rock cracked a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, 50, who has alopecia and appeared with a shaved head.
Smith later resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. He has been banned from attending its ceremonies for 10 years and has seen his once-stellar reputation take a tumble. In his six-minute taped apology, which went viral, he spoke directly to the camera and appeared to be fighting back tears as he said he was open to talking to Rock when he was ready.
