Some people blame Rock for making an insensitive joke about Jada Pinkett Smith\u2019s medical condition. Others insist physical violence is never appropriate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For his part, Chris has remained mostly quiet in the wake of the drama, only saying that he was \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/how-was-your-weekend-chris-rock-brings-the-house-down-at-first-comedy-show-since-oscars\">still processing<\/a>\u201d what happened. Even though the 57-year-old comedian refuses to lay the blame on Smith, his younger brother Kenny Rock is more than happy to do it for him. The 42-year-old actor spoke with the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/entertainment-arts\/business\/story\/2022-04-04\/lat-et-ct-will-smith-slap-chris-rock-academy-kenny-rock\"><span>Los Angeles Times<\/span><\/a><span> about how it\u2019s been affecting him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Kenny said he wasn\u2019t watching the Oscars that night and had first heard about #slapgate after being contacted by a friend while riding the A train in Brooklyn. He recalled trying to watch the video immediately but failing because he couldn\u2019t get reception. Since then, he\u2019s rewatched the video more than 20 times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt eats at me watching it over and over again because you\u2019ve seen a loved one being attacked and there\u2019s nothing you can do about it,\u201d Kenny told the publication.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cEvery time I\u2019m watching the videos, it\u2019s like a rendition that just keeps going over and over in my head. My brother was no threat to him and you just had no respect for him at that moment. You just belittled him in front of millions of people that watch the show,\u201d he continued.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Like many others, Kenny also doesn\u2019t believe Chris knew Jada had alopecia, or he wouldn\u2019t have made the joke in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe joke was funny. It wasn\u2019t hilarious funny, but I know that if he knew that she had alopecia \u2026 he wouldn\u2019t make a joke about that. But he didn\u2019t know,\u201d the actor insisted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Further, Kenny does not accept Will\u2019s public apology to Chris.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI might have looked at it differently had he initially apologized when he got on the stage and cried and accepted the award, but he didn\u2019t, so, right there that tells me that it is something else,\u201d Kenny said of Will\u2019s words.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cNo, I don\u2019t accept it because I don\u2019t think it was genuine,\u201d he went on. \u201cI think his publicist and the people that work under him probably advised him to do that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Kenny also pointed out that Will did not reach out to Rock\u2019s family to apologize personally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As for what should have happened that night, the performer believes Will didn\u2019t suffer appropriate consequences for his actions. Kenny said the complete lack of action following the slap is inexcusable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cHe should have been escorted out of there,\u201d he said. \u201cI hold them accountable for that. He could have went up there and did anything you wanted to my brother. It could have been much worse than what he did.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Enter for the chance to hang out with Gina Carano at the premiere of her new Daily Wire movie, Terror on the Prairie!
