(03 30 22) Several days after Will Smith slapped presenter Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards, following a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, Hollywood appears united in feeling Smith deserves substantial reprimand for his actions. Yet Rock isnt publicly responding to the incident, and is not pressing charges.
On the extremely upside for him, ticket sales for his upcoming tour have spiked after that night. One marketplace site said it sold more tickets to Rock’s tour in the night following the Oscars than it did in the entire month preceding. The price for the cheapest seats on the upcoming US and UK tour rose by about 800%.
