Will Smith Still Hates Chris Rock Because of His “Smug Attitude” (EXCL)

Chris Rock is currently up to his neck in drama and problems in his life while pissing off people left and right and leaving his nemesis behind Will Smith enjoying every second of his misery and twisting the knife to the extreme, a source tells In Touch exclusively.

“As it turns out, Will had the last laugh after the slap that was heard around the world at the 2022 Oscars and he loved it,” says the insider.

Will’s career is still going strong after the incident, but Chris’s has hit some hurdles recently. Back in December 2024, the comedian stormed out just minutes after taking the Pratt Industries CEO stage Anthony Prattis winter holiday party.

Chris also seems unwilling to let bygones be bygones and continues to bring up the incident during his live shows. While it may seem unwise to anger a comedian with such a large platform who can basically say whatever he wants hour after hour in front of a captive audience, for many, his lingering resentment is starting to turn petty.

Regardless of how they feel now, the two are unlikely to reconcile any time soon and are determined to remain bitter enemies. “Others think the best thing would be for these two egomaniacs to get together and hug, but they are too proud.”
