Oscars 2022: Chris Rock declines to file police report after Will Smith slap
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has confirmed that comedian Chris Rock has “declined to file a police report” following an altercation with Oscar winner Will Smith at the 94th Academy Awards.
Smith, who later won the Oscar for Actor in a Lead Role, took to the stage and smacked Rock after the comedian made an insensitive joke about Jada Pinkett Smith, reports ‘Variety’.
A full statement from the LAPD reads: “LAPD investigative entities are aware of an incident between two individuals during the Academy Awards programme. The incident involved one individual slapping another.”
Referring obviously to Rock, it adds: “The individual involved has declined to file a police report. If the involved party desires a police report at a later date, LAPD will be available to complete an investigative report.”
According to ‘Variety’, while presenting the award for the best documentary feature, Rock made a joke about Pinkett Smith’s shaved head by comparing it to the look of Demi Moore in the 1997 movie ‘G.I. Jane’.
Rock said he couldn’t wait to see Pinkett Smith, who has alopecia (a medical condition that results in abnormal hair loss), star in ‘G.I. Jane 2’, which led Smith to go up on stage and slap Rock. Smith returned to his seat and shouted: “Keep my wife’s name out of your f****** mouth!”
Smith later issued an apology in his tearful acceptance speech. The actor said: “I want to apologise to the Academy. I want to apologise to all my fellow nominees. This is a beautiful moment and I’m not crying for winning an award. It’s not about winning an award for me. It’s about being able to shine a light on all of the people.”
In between the slap and his best actor win, Smith met with Denzel Washington. The eGlory’ and eTraining Day’ Oscar winner offered Smith the following advice: “At your highest moment, be careful, that’s when the devil comes for you.”
Pinkett Smith announced last year that she had shaved her head after struggling with alopecia. After Rock made his ‘G.I. Jane’ joke, she was seen not laughing and rolling her eyes.
She wrote on Instagram last year: “Now at this point, I can only laugh … y’all know I’ve been struggling with alopecia … Mama’s gonna have to take it down to the scalp so nobody thinks she got brain surgery or something. Me and this alopecia are going to be friends … period!”

Vijay Deverakonda Sustains Shoulder Injury During VD 12’s Fight Sequence Shoot
Actor Vijay Deverakonda is currently undergoing physio and rehab after suffering a shoulder injury during the shoot of his upcoming film VD 12. The actor injured himself while shooting an intense action sequence. While Vijay has not shared any update with his fans, it has been reported that he did not take a break to recover from the injury.
Vijay is getting physio and rehab to heal his shoulder after he got injured during a fight sequence.
“He is still training for his role and shooting his scenes, doing his best not to escalate the injury further and pushing through the pain. There’s no time for a break on his schedule now,” a source informed the news portal.
Vijay also took special precautions to stay safe from injury during the film’s shoot. Last month, an independent industry source had informed, “Vijay is all set to explore the action genre in VD 12. To avoid any kind of injury while preparing for his action-packed role, the actor always has his physio with him. He is making sure to keep his physio close during the action training for VD 12 so that he can able to complete the shoot without any harm.”
In July 2024, Vijay’s look from the yet-untitled upcoming film was leaked on social media platforms. Soon after a couple of photos from the sets of the film surfaced, the makers urged netizens not to share them.
Their statement read, “Dear Rowdy fans, we share your excitement and enthusiasm! Team #VD12 is working very hard to bring you an unforgettable theatrical experience. Till date, we have completed 60% of the shoot and are currently filming in Sri Lanka.”
They added, “For the past six months, we have been keeping details under wraps. Preserving the first look for a red hot official unveiling. We kindly ask you to refrain from sharing any leaks and wait for the official announcement. Coming very soon.”
The film, touted to be a gangster drama, is being directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri.
In November 2023, it was reported that Rashmika Mandanna has replaced actress Sreleela in VD12. However, there has been no confirmation about the lead actress of the film.
VD12 is Tinnanuri’s first project in four years after the National-Award winning Jersey which starred Nani and Shraddha Srinath and its Hindi remake which starred Shahid Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur in the leads. The film will reportedly see Vijay play a cop for the first time in his career.
The film is all set to hit the big screens on March 28, 2025.
