Chris Rock is taking his sweet time forgiving Will Smith — meanwhile the Academy forgave him in 10 years, which is basically the same thing.

Chris Rock Has Been Thinking About Forgiveness

Chris Rock has been publicly processing his feelings about forgiveness after Will Smith slapped him at the 2022 Oscars. In a new interview with The New York Times, Rock says he's been thinking about the concept a lot, though he hasn't directly named Smith or the incident. The comedian's remarks come as he continues his comedy tour, where he's addressed the slap in bits but never with a full public reconciliation. The interview offers no timeline for any forgiveness, just Rock's ongoing contemplation of what it means.
