According to @PEOPLE, Rock hit The Wilbur in Boston on Thursday, following two standup shows the night before at which he broke his silence about the 94th Academy Awards; where he was smacked by Will over a joke he made about his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith.
The news site reports that Rock took the stage today, dressed in an ensemble much like the night before. It was said that he began his set by once again addressing the weekend. However, during this show, an audience member became a little rowdy and even yelled out, “F— Will Smith!” PEOPLE reports that Rock immediately shut the Will slander down. “No, no, no, no, no…” Rock reportedly replied.
As we previously reported, during Rock’s show on Wednesday — his first since the Oscars, he said that he was “still processing what happened. He also told the crowd, “I haven’t talked to anyone, despite what you heard.”
Chris Rock has since declined to press charges but the Academy is currently conducting a full review of the incident to discuss potential consequences against Will.
