Chris Rock's mom is addressing her son's incident with Will Smith at the Oscars last month.
Now, nearly a month later, Rock's mom Rose is speaking out.
"You reacted to your wife giving you the side-eye, and you went and made her day because she was mulled over laughing when it happened," Rose, who is a motivational speaker, toldRose added that, like many, she was watching the Oscars at home and initially thought the moment was staged."When he slapped Chris, he slapped all of us. He really slapped me," Rose told the outlet."No one even heard his speech," Rose said.
Rose went on to share that she reached out to her son and let him know how proud of him she was for his reaction. Rose's sentiment is one that was shared by many viewers. As the moment went viral,"If Chris Rock had hit Will Smith back, we all would have said Chris Rock is a bad person right?" one viewer tweeted. "Firstly, we all need to applaud his professionalism for not hitting Will Smith back.
"I accept and respect the academy’s decision," the actor said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital at the time. Smith, who won the Oscar for best actor, also previously resigned from the academy and publicly apologized. On the academy's decision, Rose told the outlet, "I wouldn’t take his award away, and I don’t see any good way they could have taken him out without disrupting.""I feel really bad that he never apologized," Rose said. "I mean his people wrote up a piece saying, ‘I apologize to Chris Rock,’ but you see something like that is personal, you reach out.
