Chris Rock’s Mother, Rose, has adressesed what happened on her son at the 94th Academy Awards.
The motivational speaker had an interview with local South Carolina news station WIS-TV where she spoke about the moment Smith walked on stage and slapped Rock after he made a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
Rose, the 77 year old said she was watching the ceremony at home and initially thought the slap was staged until Smith started using obscene language towards Chris Rock.
"When he slapped Chris, he slapped all of us. He really slapped me because when you hurt my child, you hurt me," she deeply said.
On how Chris has been doing since the incident, Rose said that he is doing well and as he said, "he is still processing it because that's not something you expect."
The mother proceeded saying she was really proud of the way Chris handled it, it shows that whatever her said was not meant to offend or disrespect the Smith Family, and he said it jokingly.
