Chris Rock Finally Addresses Will Smith Oscars Slap

Chris Rock has finally addressed the Will Smith Oscars slap incident months after it occurred.

The comedian revealed this while performing alongside Kevin Hart and Dave Chappelle at Madison Square Garden.

Rock, who had remained silent on the viral incident, finally addressed getting smacked by Will Smith at the 2022 Academy awards while headlining stand-up shows in New York and New Jersey over the weekend.

He said, “Anyone who says ‘words hurt’ has never been punched in the face.”

“Yeah, that s – – t hurt, motherf – – ker — but I shook that s – – t off and went to work the next day.”

Hart brought a live goat onstage and presented it as “Will Smith” during the event.

The next day, Rock clarified during his performance at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey, when he riffed about people being excessively sensitive.

“I’m not a victim, motherf – – ker,” the “Grown Ups” star declared. “I don’t go to the hospital for a paper cut.”

This was the first time Rock has spoken about the incident that took place at the 2022 Oscars in March when Smith struck Rock after the comedian made a bald joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, who has alopecia.

Rock has previously mostly avoided talking about the Oscars controversy, only making passing references to it when performing live over the last few months.

“I’m OK, if anybody was wondering,” Rock said during a show in May at the UK’s Royal Albert Hall.

He continued, “I got most of my hearing back.”

He added, “People expect me to talk about the bulls – – t. I’m not going to talk about it right now. I’ll get to it eventually — on Netflix.”

Kenyan Law Court dismisses case of man seeking compensation after his wife eloped with another man from hospital

A lawsuit filed by a man seeking to be compensated by St Mary's Mission Hospital in Kenya for allowing his wife to leave the hospital with another man after giving birth, has been struck out by a law court. The appellant had sued the St. Mary's Mission hospital at Kakamega law courts in 2020 seeking general damages from the facility on grounds that the hospital had discharged his wife and allowed her to leave with another man. After delivering and at the time of discharge, the wife of the appellant claimed he was the baby's father. The court of appeal judges Patrick Kiage, Mumbi Ngugi and Francis Tuiyott sitting at the Kisumu Court of Appeal, empathized with the man, but disagreed that he (the appellant) be compensated by the hospital for not detaining his wife. They upheld the lower court's judgement which added that there's no remedy that lies in the law for such grievances. Kiage said; "I agree that if a man takes the woman he loves to t...

Togo prime Minister Komi Klassou resigns

Togo’s prime minister and his government have resigned, the West African nation’s presidency said late Friday. President Faure Gnassingbe congratulated prime minister Komi Selom Klassou and his team for their “economic, political and social efforts and the encouraging results despite the health crisis around the world”, a statement on the presidency’s official website said. Togo has been due for a political reshuffle since Gnassingbe was reelected in February for a fourth term in office, but changes were delayed by the coronavirus pandemic. The president’s election win, which came after a constitutional change allowing him to run, extended more than a half-century of dynastic rule over the former French colony by the Gnassingbe family. The victory was disputed by the main opposition challenger, who has faced official harassment in the wake of the vote. The president has led the country of eight million people since taking over in 2005 following the death of his father Gnass...
