Two weeks ago "Bad Boys: Ride or Die" opened at No. 1 at the box office, confirming fans had forgiven Will Smith for slapping Chris Rock at the Academy Awards [click here if you missed that].
Apparently Bad Boys 4 contains a 'slapping scene' and Chris Rock is NOT happy about it...
From In Touch
Will Smith claims he’s a changed man since slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars in 2022 and even seemingly referenced the infamous slap in his latest movie Bad Boys 4. However, the addition to the script has reopened old wounds with Chris, who’s not buying Will’s reinvention act one bit.
“Chris thinks it’s a pretty cheap stunt and he’s telling people how lame he finds it,” a source exclusively tells In Touch. “It’s a classic case of Will making light of a horrific situation. Will’s playing the victim. It was the lowest point of his career, but that’s no excuse.”
While Chris has made a point to keep a “low profile” since the headline-making moment, he “finds Will’s attention seeking nauseating,” according to the source. “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. As far as Chris is concerned, it’s more proof that Will’s a total piece of work who deserves all the crap he’s gotten. Chris isn’t going to let it go. If there’s a way to get back at Will down the line, he’ll take it.”
The film’s directors addressed the similarities between the slap in the movie and what happened between Chris and Will at the Oscars. “I think, you know, if you watch the movie, you see that there are some parallels between what’s happening in the movie and real life,” they said. “You know, there’s – it’s almost like a meta experience that Will, in the character of Mike Lowrey, goes through with some themes.”
