AceShowbiz - In the wake of Will Smith's Academy Awards altercation with Chris Rock, the discourse surrounding the incident continues. Following the release of Will's new movie "Bad Boys: Ride or Die," which includes a scene that references the slap, Chris has expressed his disapproval.
According to sources close to Chris, he finds the scene "cheap" and "lame." The source explained that Chris believes Will is "making light of a horrific situation" by turning it into a comedic moment. "It's a classic case of Will playing the victim," the source added.
"It aggravates him that people keep bringing it up. He suffered as much as Will has and now Will has turned it into a funny scene in his movie," a source told hot97.
Chris' disapproval is echoed by others. Sports analyst Stephen A. Smith has called for Will to provide a more substantial explanation for his actions. Will has apologized to Chris, but Stephen is not satisfied with Will apology.
Chris' continued anger has raised questions about the possibility of reconciliation between the two actors. According to the sources, Chris is "aggravated" that the incident keeps being brought up. He feels that he has suffered just as much as Will and finds Will's attempt to turn it into a humorous scene disrespectful.
The incident has sparked a wider conversation about the nature of forgiveness and accountability. Some argue that Will Smith has done enough to apologize and move on while others believe he owes Chris Rock a more thorough explanation and acknowledgement of the impact of his actions.
