Will Smith-Chris Rock controversy and what it means for the former’s professional future have been discussed by Whoopi Goldberg? The 66-year-old diva expressed her hope that the Men in Black actor will move over the issue surrounding his slapping of comedian Chris Rock at the Academy Awards last weekend during the April 4 episode of The View.
The situation compared Goldberg to Kanye West and Louis C.K. receiving Grammys in 2022:
Although some individuals found it difficult, the program didn’t have any controversial issues like last week’s did, which was a good thing.
Additionally, she claimed that several of Will Smith’s planned endeavors had been questioned.
“Is there a means by which he can return? Of course, he does. He’ll get better and come back. Don’t worry about it.
Whoopi Goldberg’s comments, according to The Hollywood Reporter, came after Netflix and Sony shelved projects that she was previously involved with. Whoopi Goldberg said earlier that Rock, 57, “was the victim,” but that the Oscars organizers made the right decision by allowing Smith to continue performing at the star-studded event.
Although there has been chaos onstage before, this is the first time someone has been attacked there.
The Will Smith vs. Chris Rock debate at the 2022 Academy Awards was the subject of Whoopi Goldberg’s allusion.
Last week’s gala brought the topic to a climax when Chris Rock casually mentioned Jada Pinkett Smith’s lack of hair. Pinkett Smith has discussed her alopecia, or hair loss issue, in the media.
The comedian made a joke:
I adore you, Jada. G.I. Jane 2, I can’t wait to see you.
Live viewers from all over the world were shocked when her husband entered the stage and slapped Chris Rock in front of them. Rock sat back down and said to Smith:
“Goodness gracious! I just got punched in the face by Will Smith.
After taking his seat again, Smith yelled at Rock to keep his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, out of the conversation. Smith’s portrayal of King Richard earned him the Best Actor Award later in the evening.
He expressed regret for acting inappropriately during his address to the Academy, the audience, and his coworkers. He wrote a letter of regret to Rock the next day. News reports claim that Smith and Rock are still at a distance.
In response to Oscar’s probe, Smith left the Academy on April 1. The Academy accepted his resignation. They will continue their disciplinary actions against the actor for violations of the Academy’s Standards of Conduct when they reconvene on April 18.
