Comedian Chris Rock didn't press charges against the actor after the incident at the Oscars
Police were prepared to arrest Will Smith after he slapped Chris Rock during the Oscars, but didn’t at the request of the comedian, the show’s producer claims.
He then alleges that Chris was dismissive towards the police, but he encouraged the comedian to hear them out before making a decision. Rock ultimately declined to press charges, however police said in a statement on Sunday: “If the involved party desires a police report at a later date, LAPD will be available to complete an investigative report.'”
Earlier this week, it was reported that Hollywood actor Will left Oscars officials "furious" when he refused to leave when asked to do so by the Academy president David Rubin and the company's CEO Dawn Hudson.
