Chris Rock didn’t speak to Will Smith after THAT slap at the Oscars…due to claims the comedian wasn’t aware Jada Pinkett Smith had alopecia
Chris Rock has yet to speak to Will Smith after he was met live onstage by the actor at the Oscars on Sunday night.
It has been claimed that the two have settled their differences, but insiders are now saying that is not the case.
It has also been claimed that Rock was unaware that Jada Pinkett Smith had alopecia after he made a joke about how her bald head looked like “GI Jane”.

TMZ reports that Rock and Smith have not settled anything privately and there has been no communication between the two men.
A close friend of Rock’s has shared that the comedian went straight back to his dressing room after the incident and left the building, whatever his plan for the evening was.
The insider added that Chris was unaware Jada had alopecia and that he “doesn’t have a mean bone in his body.”
Rock was said to have been “shattered and confused” by Smith’s punch but dusted himself off to attend Guy Oseary’s famous Oscars After Party in LA.
Diddy had previously claimed that the matter had been settled between the two men.

Meanwhile, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences launched a formal review of the incident Monday, saying it “condemns Mr. Smith’s actions at last night’s show.”
The organization released the statement Monday afternoon, according to Variety, after facing backlash for not naming Smith when it first handled the incident.
“The Academy condemns the actions of Mr. Smith at last night’s show,” said a spokesman for the organization.
“We have officially begun a formal review of the incident and will review further actions and consequences consistent with our bylaws, standards of conduct and California law.”
