Joe Rogan slams Will Smith\u2019s \u201cfoolish\u201d Chris Rock Oscars slap YouTube: PowerfulJRE, The Guardian, ABC 7 ChicagoPodcast host Joe Rogan called out Oscar-winning actor Will Smith for slapping comedian Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards, calling Smith\u2019s outburst a \u201cfoolish impulse.\u201d Actor and rapper Will Smith shocked the world when he walked on stage at the 2022 Oscars to slap Chris Rock in the face after the comedian made a joke about actress Jada Pinkett Smith. Rock\u2019s joke compared Jada\u2019s look for the evening to that of fictional action heroine GI Jane \u2014 a comment Jada didn\u2019t seem happy with, as she recently revealed she\u2019s been struggling with hair loss. The slap instantly went viral, prompting an investigation of Smith by the Academy. Smith has since publicly apologized for the incident. Joe Rogan criticizes Will Smith\u2019s \u201cstupid\u201d Oscar\u2019s slap Comedian and podcast host Joe Rogan spoke out on the viral debacle during a recent episode with mixed martial artist Josh Barnett, where he notably called the ordeal a \u201cfoolish impulse\u201d on Smith\u2019s part. \u201cI don\u2019t think he was thinking that far ahead, at all,\u201d Rogan said in response to Barnett. \u201cI think he was being emotionally fragile. He acted on impulse. I think it\u2019s a foolish impulse that you do when you know there\u2019s no consequences.\u201d \u201cChris Rock\u2019s doing his f**king job,\u201d he continued. \u201cYou don\u2019t go and sit in the front row, you\u2019re a star at the Oscars \u2014 there\u2019s a professional comedian whose job is to roast people. That\u2019s what he\u2019s doing. And what he did was not even insulting. It was a mild joke.\u201d View this post on Instagram Rogan is also under the impression that Smith won\u2019t face legal consequences for slapping Rock on live television. The LAPD has confirmed that Rock is not pressing charges against Smith, but is willing to work with him, should he choose to do so in the future. \u201cI\u2019m telling you, this is all rational thinking about an irrational act,\u201d Rogan argued. \u201cHe was emotionally fragile and he acted on impulse in a staggeringly stupid way.\u201d Rogan isn\u2019t the only comedian to have spoken out on the situation; Andrew Schulz also notably claimed that Chris Rock was \u201csoft\u201d to have not retaliated against Smith after being struck during the ceremony, although it seems things are settled between the two stars for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
