While the Will Smith and Chris Rock scandal had everyone making the same grim Alec Baldwin joke — wondering out loud what he would do in Will’s shoes — the actor does have something to say about it. As his Twitter account is private, Baldwin shared a screenshot of a tweet on his Instagram page. “I am not reading much about how, or even if, the producers attended to Chris. But I love you, @chrisrock,” Baldwin wrote. “And I’m sorry the Oscars turned into the Jerry Springer show.”
If there’s anyone who knows a thing or two about outbursts, it would be Baldwin. He was put under citizen’s arrest back in 1995 for punching a photog in the nose, per USA Today. His long laundry list of other public incidents also includes a messy altercation with the paparazzi in 2013, and a fight with a man over a parking spot in 2018. Thankfully, Baldwin can say that he’s never slapped a man at an award ceremony, though — at least not yet.
