Tony Rock, Chris Rock’s brother, recently came to his defense in one of his stand-up shows. He performed in Raleigh, North Carolina, and opened the show with a warning: “If you think you’re going to get on this stage, this isn’t a stepmom’s Oscar.” He reminded the audience of actor Will Smith slapping his brother Chris at the 2022 Oscars.
He continued: “And if you get on here, you are not nominated for st but for these mommy’s hands.”
Tony then added, “I didn’t want to start the show like this! He also called Will’s wife, Jada, “Bh.” Will recently apologized for raising his hand to Chris, but Tony told one of his fans on Twitter that he didn’t accept the apology.
