Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle were on tour in the U.K., where they slapped Will Smith. Chappelle claimed that Smith used to be family-friendly. \u201cFresh Prince of Bel-Air\u201d star had \u201cripped his mask off\u201dRock in March, when he famously slapped Rock<\/p>\n

\u201cWill did the impression of a perfect person for 30 years, and he ripped his mask off and\u00a0showed us he was as ugly as the rest of us,\u201d Chappelle said at the Liverpool\u2019s\u00a0M&S\u00a0Arena on on Thursday. <\/p>\n

Chappelle observed that Smith\u2019s Oscar-night act of violence actually made him more relatable. \u201cWhatever the consequences are\u2026 I hope he doesn\u2019t put his mask back on again, and lets\u00a0his real face breathe. I see myself in both men,’\u201dBoth the \u201cperfect\u201dStar of \u201cMen in Black\u201dThe angry actor who punched him. <\/p>\n

Chappelle started things by asking Rock. \u201cDid that s\u2014 hurt?’\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGoddamn right\u2026 the motherf\u2014er hit me over a bulls\u2014 joke, the nicest joke I ever told,\u201dRock replied. The joke, if you need reminding was a dig at Smith\u2019s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith\u2019s baldness, comparing her to Demi Moore in \u201cG.I. Jane.\u201d <\/p>\n

Rock claimed later that he didn\u2019t know about Jada\u2019s struggles with alopecia. <\/p>\n

Smith apologized to Rock for his actions in an emotional video. Rock still hasn’t accepted Smith’s apology. Smith was banned from Academy events over the next 10 year and has voluntarily resigned as a member. Smith did not have to return his Best Actor Oscar. \u201cKing Richard.\u201d <\/p>\n

Rock also took aim, during his set, at Meghan Markle who just launched Archetypes, her podcast. He accused her, among other things, of using her complaints regarding the British royals to be famous. <\/p>\n
