Life is good. I got my hearing back,\u201d Rock said at his show in Indio, California, on Friday, per the outlet.<\/p>\n<p>While on stage to present an award during the 94th Oscars last month, Chris Rock made a joke aimed at Jada Pinkett Smith\u2019s bald head.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJada, I love you, \u2018GI Jane 2,\u2019 can\u2019t wait to see it,\u201d Rock said before Will Smith walked on stage and\u00a0slapped Rock\u00a0during the live broadcast before returning to his seat.<\/p>\n<p>Smith, who later won the award for best actor,\u00a0apologized to the Academy during his acceptance speech\u00a0and later to Rock in a\u00a0March 28 statement\u00a0on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada\u2019s medical condition was too much for me to bear, and I reacted emotionally. I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris,\u201d Smith said. Pinkett Smith has been candid about her\u00a0journey with alopecia, an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts &#038; Sciences\u00a0announced\u00a0that the \u201cKing Richard\u201d actor would be barred from all Academy events, including the Oscars, for 10 years for his actions \u2013 which he said he accepts, according to a statement provided to\u00a0CNN.<\/p>\n<p>Following the Oscars dispute, tickets sales for Rock\u2019s 2022 \u201cEgo Death World Tour\u201d\u00a0went through the roof.\u00a0Unlike his brother, Rock has yet to fully address the situation but during his stand-up show in Boston, Rock made his\u00a0first public remarks\u00a0at The Wilbur.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m still processing what happened,\u201d Rock reportedly said. \u201cSo at some point I\u2019ll talk about that shit. It\u2019ll be serious. It\u2019ll be funny, but right now I\u2019m going to tell some jokes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>                <!-- Post Tags --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myjoyonline.com\/chris-rock-said-he-wont-speak-on-controversial-oscars-slap-until-i-get-paid-report-says\/\">Source<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chris Rock is seen backstage during the 94th Annual Academy Awards at Dolby Theatre on March 27, 2022 in Hollywood.Al Seib \/A.M.P.A.S. via Getty Images Comedian Chris Rock said he would not talk about the controversial Oscars slap until he gets paid, according to the\u00a0Palm Springs Desert Sun. \u201cI\u2019m OK, I have a whole show, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1165280,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[2528,3227,7286,199,1584,687,7287,6255,1298],"class_list":["post-1165277","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-chris","tag-controversial","tag-oscars","tag-paid","tag-report","tag-rock","tag-slap","tag-speak","tag-wont"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1165277","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1165277"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1165277\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1165277"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1165277"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1165277"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
