In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Chris Rock’s brother Kenny Rock said that he’s having a hard time replaying videos of the slap because it’s hard for him to see Chris attacked while “there’s nothing you can do about it.” He explained, “My brother was no threat to him and you just had no respect for him at that moment. You just belittled him in front of millions of people that watch the show.” Kenny also says that Smith should have been escorted out of the Oscars that night and that to his knowledge, Smith had not reached out to his brother.
Similarly, Chris’ other brother also had one simple word for the fresh prince. When a Twitter user asked Tony Rock if he approved of Will Smith’s apology, he bluntly replied with, “No.” Clearly, the relationship and support between Chris and his brothers is rock solid.
