After the incident at the Oscars where actor Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock over a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Rock said that he is not yet talking about the slap — until he gets paid.
On March 27 at the Oscars, Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett-Smith remaking “G.I. Jane,” a joke making fun of her shaved head. However, Smith seemed to take issue with the joke since Pinkett-Smith has alopecia, a hair loss condition.
Smith then walked up on stage and slapped Rock before yelling at him to “keep my wife’s name out your f****** mouth.”

As Rock keeps doing his comedy shows, audiences have expected him to address the slap, but he only slightly joked about the incident at his comedy show in Fantasy Springs Resort & Casino in California on April 8, the Desert Sun reported.
“I’m OK, I have a whole show, and I’m not talking about that until I get paid. Life is good. I got my hearing back,” Rock said.
