The comedian made an appearance in Atlanta a few days later. However, he did not respond to Will's apology. Instead, he made jokes about him: "Everyone is trying to be a f***ing victim. If everyone claims to be a victim, then no one will listen to the real victims...Even me, who was slapped by Suge Smith. I went to work the next day, I got kids," Rock said, according to People magazine.
Later, during a performance at London's O2 Arena, Will Smith became the subject of his jokes again. This time, Rock even addressed Will's video. "F*ck your hostage video" is what Chris said about it, according to Deadline. A reconciliation between the two is not likely to happen anytime soon.
For Smith, the scandal has had major consequences. His business partners left him and he is banned from attending the Oscar award ceremony for ten years.
