Chris Rock, who was infamously slapped by Will Smith at the 2022 Oscars, has not ruled out hosting the Oscars again despite the incident.

Reportedly, Chris Rock, when asked about hosting the Oscars again, in his first appearance at a Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty he stated, “You never know. This is what I would say: the most miserable people on earth are people that can’t forgive.”

Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head, leading to the altercation with Smith. Smith later apologized for his behavior, acknowledging that violence is unacceptable and inexcusable.

Rock finally addressed the incident in a Netflix special, joking about the slap and his response to it. “You all know what happened to me, getting smacked by Suge Smith,” he said.

Smith was banned from attending any event related to the Academy for 10 years and resigned from the organization.
