Jimmy Kimmel criticizes Will Smith for laughing at Chris Rock’s joke before slapping him

Indispensable presenter of the American small screen, Jimmy Kimmel was well obliged to pronounce on the major geopolitical event of the week on the planet people: the slap inflicted by Will Smith on Chris Rock because of his bad joke on the hair loss of Jada Pinkett. However, Jimmy Kimmel did not miss a disturbing detail in this now famous sequence: the actor first laughed at the joke before sinking into a deep anger.

“He must have looked and noticed that Jada wasn’t amused and thought, ‘Oh, I better do something. He did something. No one could have predicted that the most controversial film of 2022 would be G.I. Jane, but it is. It was the Hollywood version of your drunk uncle who starts a fight, ruins the wedding, then gets up and gives a long toast to the bride and groom,” Jimmy Kimmel pictured on his show.

Team Chris Rock

It will be understood, Jimmy Kimmel is clearly on the side of Chris Rock whose calm he then revered. “Nobody did anything. Nobody lifted a finger. Spider-Man was there. Aquaman was there. Catwoman, all sitting on their hands. Nobody helped Chris Rock,” the presenter continued.

But let Jimmy Kimmel reassure himself for his friend since this noisy humiliation is also a real godsend for Chris Rock who has seen the sale of tickets for his show explode since the ceremony! The comedian is currently on tour. If he hasn’t planned a visit to France, all you have to do is cross the Channel in May to see him, whether in London, Leeds, Birmingham or Manchester.
