Many were definitely surprised when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock on stage at the Oscars a few months ago.
More recently, Packer shared the thoughtful message that Idris Elba sent him after the slap occurred.
He explained that there was a conversation between him, Chris Rock and the LAPD about the possibility of charging Will Smith with “battery.”
Will Smith broke his silence on the slap a few weeks ago and formally apologized to Chris Rock while also acknowledging the “irreparable” damage to his relationship with Tony Rock.
